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

Earlier this week, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, in recognition of not only his musical achievements, but because of how he blurred the boundaries between folk and rock, music and poetry, […]

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 […]
