Maybe Jason "Mayhem" Miller was just pulling an Andy Kaufman, but regardless his bizarre, belligerent appearance on yesterday's episode of The MMA Hour is far more worrisome than condemnable.
From UFC on FX 5 to a new women's atomweight champion being crowned in the Midwest to a professional wrestler making his professional debut, the weekend in mixed martial arts offered fans both signal and noise.
Wrapping up the weekend that was in MMA, a busy one featuring events from Bellator, Invicta FC, CES, and ONE FC. From the nutshot that ended Prindle vs. Santos to a full video of Batista's debut victory, we've got it all!
While the UFC and Bellator may have dropped the ball this past weekend, one promotion raised its game and took center stage. The ladies of Invicta continue to provide incredible entertainment with its all-female shows.
