GONAZLES’S TAKE

GONZALES: George St. Pierre just wants to get paid, not change the sport for the better

October 22, 2016

What a messy week for mixed martial arts. Between GSP’s free agency/contract dispute, and the several high-profile UFC executives being released, we’re finally feeling the ramifications of the WME-IMG purchase, and so far it’s not looking […]

GONZALES: The UFC is a-Changin’ – From C.M. Punk to Greg Hardy to Ben Affleck to Conan, what’s in store for UFC fans in 2017?

October 15, 2016

GONAZLES: In Memory of a Fighter and a Fighting Spirit – Josh Samman

October 8, 2016

I didn’t know Josh Samman.  And I don’t know what happened the night he was found with his friend in Florida, or any of the events leading up to it.  But I know I’m saddened […]

GONZALES: How Sexist is MMA? Let Me Count the Ways… And some praise for Invicta FC’s approach

September 28, 2016

GONZALES: Punk almost had me there, before showing he’s a total mark for himself

September 14, 2016

Later, Punk. Not gonna lie – C.M. Punk had me for a moment in the post-fight presser.  When he broke down, speaking about his wife, I got a genuine sense of sincerity, from a genuine […]

GONAZLES: Here comes the Celebrity Ultimate Fighter – with William Morris in charge, this could be just the beginning

September 8, 2016

Oh no!  A professional ‘wrassler with no real combat experience is going to fight in the UFC!  It’s the end of MMA as we know it! And I feel fine… Because I don’t have a […]

GONZALES: A few suggestions from a long-time fan of Bellator to change their course for the better

September 1, 2016

“Spike TV is an entertainment property. We’re going to continue to entertain.” -Scott Coker at Bellator 160’s post-fight press conference. Those comments from Scott Coker ended an eventful week for MMA’s red-headed step-child. Signing free agent Rory […]

GONZALES: Unions, the UFC, and Strikeforce – Workers get screwed unless they stick up for themselves

August 16, 2016

AS I SEE IT… In the spring of 1992, I was a freshman at UCLA when Professor J. Cole told a story about three umpires and how they call pitches. The first umpire says, “Some pitches […]
