These kids are impressive for their age. 10-15 years from now, we’re going to see a bunch of GSP’s in this sport.
Props to Fight Opinion for the find

More fighters make their picks at Sherdog.com. Also worth checking out if you’re into the presidential race is Barack Obama’s direct response to Matt Hughes’ comments on the election. Props to Steve Cofield for the interview. Wasn’t expecting that.

It seems there might be a lingering issue or two stemming from our server jump yesterday. If the parts of the site or the whole site doesn’t load, we’re aware of it and working on it.
We’re back! We successfully moved to the new server and everything seems to be working like it should. The new server we’re on is supposed to scale with traffic increases and spikes, so we shouldn’t have to move again.
Anyways, looks like there’s some catching up to do in the news, so we’ll resume posting shortly.
Once again, we’re sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Ok, so here’s the deal. We’ve been on a shared hosting plan since we’ve launched and haven’t had any problems until today. When we contacted our hosting company this morning, we were informed that some jackass was “abusing” the server and using up too many resources. They told us they were working on it and would fix the problem as soon as possible. Being that I am extremely impatient with these kind of things, I repeatedly contacted them throughout the day to see how things we coming along and told them to kick the jackass off the server that was causing all the problems.
Well, after numerous emails and online chats, it turns out that jackass was us! Yeah, so basically, with our traffic levels growing, and with our site not being the most optimized of sites (we’re working on that among other improvements btw), we were causing a high load on the server that was disrupting everyone else. The solution they gave was to install a plugin that will optimize the site and reduce the load, however, with our growth it will only be a very short-term fix.
So we have made the decision to move the site to a more suitable hosting company that can handle where we’re at now and where we plan to go. We’re going to start moving things tonight and as long as no problems arise it should be a smooth process. We’ve been told it that while the domain name “populates” across the world (whatever that means), things could be a little funky like posts not showing up that should, but it should only take a day or so.
Once again, we apologize. Thank you for your patience, and better yet, thank you for giving us this problem. It’s one of those problems you like to have.
In the last twelve hours we have been experiencing server issues. The site has been loading slow or not at all off and on. We have been in contact with our hosting provider and it appears there is a problem with the server. They assure us they are working hard to rectify the situation as soon as possible. Since we haven’t had any problems with them before we aren’t going to jump ship just yet. If it continues to happen for an unreasonable amount of time, that will become an option. We apologize for the inconvenience.

There probably won’t be much news today, so here’s a sweet video by Genghis Con of all the best highlights and finishes thus far in 2008. This is why we’re fans. Definitely a must watch.
I’ve been extremely busy the past few days so I didn’t get a chance to watch this awesomely hilarious video of the latest creation from UFC co-founder Art Davie. I didn’t read the description before watching, and I found it to be much better that way, so I won’t post the description here, but you can head over to Fightlinker after to find out all about it.
