Greetings from my couch in North Jersey.

Baseball has the Yankees. Football has the Cowboys. And basketball has the Lakers. All dominant (or at least once dominant) franchises with as many detractors as fans.

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.

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.
 

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?

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.

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.
