It’s official! The city of Abu Dhabi will host UFC 112. The up coming event will be held in the outdoor Concert Arena at Ferrari World on Yas Island.

On March 24th, 1986 a baby boy was born in Suwanee, Georgia. However he wasn’t like the other kids born that day. This baby had a condition known as congenital amputation, which, according to Wikipedia is a congenital disorder that can be caused by fibrous bands of the amnion that constrict foetal limbs to such an extent, that they fall off due to missing blood supply.

It's another MMA Gear Monday!

Just think: There's a whole generation of kids who think Mike Tyson is the guy with the crazy tattoo on his face who sang along to Phil Collins in The Hangover. I find it sad they may never know how great Iron Mike really was because of the bizarre incidents later on in his career. (The Holyfield ear biting incident, anyone?!?!?)

This week's inspirational story comes from Diana Juarez of RGV, Texas. We'd like to thank Diana for sharing her story and wish her the best of luck. We hope you enjoy this great story.
 

Can you believe January is already half over? Where does the time go? Before we know it the summer will be here and all this cold weather will be a distant memory. (It can't come soon enough for some of us!)
 

2010 is well under way and it already feels like summer is right around the corner. It's also Friday, which means it's time for another BORN STRONGER MMA gear product spotlight?

As you know, Haiti was recently ravaged by an earthquake. As of today, it's estimated that over 500,000 may have lost their lives and millions more are left homeless. As the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti was already on the brink before this natural disaster occurred. If we don't help, there's no telling what will happen to this tiny Caribbean nation.
 

My son Cameron was born on February 19, 2002. At just 36 weeks, he was a full month early. When he was born, he didn’t come out crying like a normal infant. Instead, he came out quiet and blue. He needed oxygen held in front of his face while my wife held him. Despite the oxygen and his mother’s arms, he was still not crying. It was obvious something was wrong.

Is it just us or is 2010 flying by even faster than 2009 did? It seems like Christmas was just yesterday, but here we are in the middle of January already! Time sure flies.

It's the first Friday since the New Year! What better way to ring in 2010 than another BORN STRONGER clothing product spotlight? This week we're featuring the BORN STRONGER White Flexifit Cap. This cap is made from 100% cotton and has custom embroidery on both the fornt and back.

Hey guys,
We're currently looking to do some promotional work for our unique line of MMA gear with fight leagues and/or MMA gyms in the Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego areas. If you know of any, or own one yourself, please contact us for more information.
 
Thanks!

Check this out. The guys from Sport Science get UFC fighter, Houston Alexander to help them determine how much effect natural adrenaline has on punching power in MMA. Pretty interesting stuff!

We all learned to love Kevin James in the King of Queens, Hitch and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. But apparently this huggable teddy bear is not to be trifled with! Kevin was actually a running back at a Divion III college and apparently he is keeping up with his athletic ways by training in MMA. Check out this cool video of Kevin James and Randy Couture below.

In 14 days I am going to be 34 years old…still a young man by most people’s standards. In my 33-plus years I graduated college, got married, had a child, got divorced and had some fun along the way. If I were to die tomorrow, there really wouldn’t be much else to etch into my tombstone. Not that I’m complaining.

We don't know about you, but we're happy that 2009 is finally here. The holidays are great, but the chaos can have negative effects on our training. Now that 2010 is finally here, we can settle down and get back to work!
