At UFC 180 this past weekend, Jessica Eye connected with a right punch to Leslie Smith's left cauliflower ear and well....it exploded!

Mixed Martial artist and UFC fighter Miesha Tate will be hosting a autograph event June 11th at the Hastings on Georgia st. from 3-5pm.

The expression "it was over before it began" has never been more appropriate.

It may look more like a disorganized street brawl or bar fight, but this is actually a sport.

  This would be so awesome to see! Maybe we can talk "Ignite Fighting" to make this happen here in Amarillo. Just watching this video seems pretty intense! It's like watching a Wrestlemania but MMA style!

This is one monster blow to the head.

I've been in martial arts since I was 7 years old.  I've trained as an MMA fighter, and now I cage announce MMA fights.  While I love the sport, in fact it's my favorite, I'm just a little shocked by what I've learned about the world of child MMA cage fighting.  Young, small children, in a cage literally hurting each other.  MMA is a man's sport, not what I consider a child's sport.

This is by far the most exciting news I've gotten all week!  IFC4 is coming, yes the leaders in MMA fights are bringing what will hands down be the BEST fights yet in Amarillo!  IFC4 features 3 title fights and 3 CAT FIGHTS!  YES!  You don't wanna miss it as Cox, Bailey, Saucedo and The Pit-bull plus 6 pro female fighters ground and pound each other in the cage!

  Jinh Yu knocked out Darla Harris within 24 seconds during a MMA fight. This is probably going to be one of them most memorable knockouts videos. I bet she could do this to some guys out there!

I don't know if it was the nerves or just exhaustion, but MMA fighter Cliff Thompson blew chunks all over the floor before his interview. I love the reaction from the guy who was interviewing the fighter. I would have probably thrown up after seeing this guy...

When you think of the MAAC (Martial Arts Athletic Center) in Amarillo, you think about MMA, about Master Lister and his many years experience teaching kids and adults Tae Kwon Do, what you don't think of is trained professional fighters, black belts and Martial Arts students getting their groove on to music and doing the Harlem Shake!
