I’m in what I pray are the final stages of the data update from hell. I honestly don’t think it took me this long to get the site online in the first place. /boggle
Post UFC 116 Site Update
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Lots of things are going on with the site, so I thought I’d take a couple minutes to mention a few things.
MMA Rankings Update 091006
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Quick Ranking update with some recent(ish) MMA events.
Sadly I’m still very sick with no sign of a hot redheaded nurse in sight. 8(
However, since I updated the mma rankings and some have asked for a bit more of a “recap” at times when I do it, here we go…
MMA Ranking System – For Beginners
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009It never ceases to amaze me how little accurate information some people need to start opening their mouths. The amount of wrong information I see regarding the MMA rankings on this site and the ranking system used are insane. How about we wipe the slate clean and start from the very beginning…
Inside the rankings 090920
Sunday, September 20th, 2009The site is now updated with several recent events. In looking over the rankings I noticed a few things that stood out to me and thought I might explore them in a bit more detail. Usually if something jumps out at me then I figure others have questions as well.
Do keep in mind that everything on this site is there for a reason, so if I don’t address a specific question you have, please feel free to ask.
This is for my haters
Thursday, August 27th, 2009I’ve said it before, but one of the things (aside from fur and claws) that really sets me apart from most people is that I enjoy being proven (PROVEN…with a *P*) wrong. To go to bed better than I woke up is a great thing in my opinion. As an added bonus, being “proven” wrong on something feels like winning a game against the team in first place because not only did I “learn” something (which is +1/2), but I also no longer have something “wrong” (that’s another +1/2!).
I emphasized the word proven above because it seems to be the major sticking point in many discussions I’ve had of late. Some people believe they can simply say, “YOUR WRONG!!!” (spelling intended for extra irony…if I spelled it right and made this comment in error, then there is the extra irony!) and that will suffice.
Others think they can say something, be proven wrong, and just keep saying it. In real life it’s even worse because people tend to just say the same exact thing, but ~L~O~U~D~E~R~~! because obviously the reason I didn’t agree the earth was flat is because I have an acorn in my ear and couldn’t hear their detailed analysis (IT’S FUCKING FLAT MOTHER FUCKER~!!!!). Ah yes, it’s flat, that explains it, answers my questions, rebuts my facts and wittily attacks my Oedipus issues, well played!
As silly as it might seem to dedicate an entire rant to the audience least likely to read (understand? accept?) it, I’m going to give it a go.

The MMA Math Compendium
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009MMA Math (MMATH) is a widely ridiculed “system” used by some fans; sometimes unintentionally. Although its flaws are well documented the benefits are often overlooked. Let’s take a look at how the “system” works, explain why it fails, and then look at some of the benefits.
Evil Update 090806
Thursday, August 6th, 2009We could all use a little break from the Fedor and UFC talk, so lets focus on more lighthearted topics like cancer and aids. Before I really offend people by getting into the math of cancer being ranked higher than aids or vice-versa lets get to the updates.
