Moral Dementia
In Newton's laws of motion, every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Besides this being law in the physical world does this law play an important factor in our lives on a moral standpoint? Do we truly get what we deserve or is life just as random and chaotic as this question? Lack of sleep and overall being burnout compels me to write this down as if I'm actually going to solve this on my own. When I think about moral dilemma I tend to think about the true battle of selfishness and selflessness. When you start to think about it, isn't that the basis behind the majority of every moral choice in life? Is it always better to put others before yourself? In most cases, the majority would say it is but for what reason? Is it because we expect this in return from those we help? That sounds pretty selfish to me. Think about people who jump on the bandwagon to help someone out for recognition. Is the motivation for doing good things immoral? Because if that is the case then I'd say the majority of us suffer from Moral Dementia (please don't look up the term because the term doesn't really exist). There is an old Judaic principle about charity in that when you donate a large amount of money or contribute in another charitable way that you do not stake your name on it. Why? Because you do not do these deeds for your own fame. People who speak out on the news to support a cause for their own airtime. People who act overly friendly because you are looked at as successful and useful. People who kiss your ass when you know exactly what they're after. It truly is hard to express yourself honestly in a world full of fake moral standards. The only cure for Moral Dementia is honest expression. Sometimes I need to help myself before others and sometimes I will go out of my way to help those I care about. The balance of the two sides is what people need to embrace. In life, some people will only claim to do what moral standards in contemporary society tells them to do, and the others will be honest about it.
"Ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself...it is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky, or I could show you some really fancy movement…But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly…Now that, my friend is very hard to do"
-Bruce Lee

A New Dawn for the UFC (World Domination)
Unless you don't watch MMA (mixed martial arts) or you have been living under a rock, chances are you have seen a UFC fight. Well the biggest fight league in the world is about to dominate the world of MMA and combat sports by merging with the WEC. The WEC which stands for "World Extreme Cage Fighting", is known for their standout bantamweight and featherweight fighters. Now with the merge of these two companies the UFC will now have these weight classes plus the lightweight division and up making the UFC a well more established league. This will also create new match-ups for the lighter weight divisions by fighters having more flexibility to move between divisions. The talent pool will increase as well as ratings according to Dana White. According to Dana, he claims the UFC will reach a billion homes in the upcoming months. The UFC is already at half a billion and rising and is also in talks of bringing the league to an American network such as NBC or FOX. It is estimated that the newer UFC will host 30-35 fights per year. Can the UFC get any bigger? The answer is prevalent.
Here are some good MMA sites to check out for daily news and information about fighting.

The greatest boxer of all time...
Who was or is the greatest boxer of all time? This might be one of the most highly debated questions in all of sports and to examine who is the best would mean to examine each contenders career extensively. I'm here to say that I'm not going to do that, but I will touch on who I think the top prospects are for the best. You can debate any of these guys in such a bias manner to make one stand out over the other and yet I still wouldn't think It would cover it. So here is a list (in no particular order) of 5 fighters who are eligible to take the title of greatest boxer. I'd have to say Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquaio.
Muhammad Ali-
Self-proclamined "The Greatest" and not too far from the truth, Muhammad Ali ended his career with a record of 56-5 with 37 knockouts. Besides eating up media with his electric personality, "No Vietcong ever call me N*gger", he brought the boxing world some of the most famous fights in one of the sports most action packed and competitive eras. He was the top dog in what is known as the golden age of heavyweight boxing by defeating heavyweight stand-outs such as Sonny Liston, Joe Fraizer, George Foreman, and Leon Spinks. His outer boxing style and rope-a-dope tactics in the ring made him appear as a middleweight rather than a heavy weight. When Ali wanted to strike he did it with precision and power. His pace and ring tactics overwhelmed the majority of his opponents. I personally believe if he wasn't stripped of his title and didn't deal with his appeal to the supreme court he could of been undefeated in his prime. He would have been more ready for "The Fight of the Century" with Joe Fraizer but whatever. There is no denying that Muhammad Ali is one of the greatest athletes of all time.
Joe Louis-
Regarded as the first African American to achieve the status of a nationwide hero within the United States, the "Brown Bomber" held the heavyweight title for longer (11 years, 8 months, 7 days) and made more successful defenses (25) than anyone. His record was 65-3 with 51 knockouts. He won the title by defeating James J. Braddock (Cinderella Man) in 1937 and his reign of nearly 12 years clearly shows how he is one of the best of all time. Anyone who was in the ring with him wouldn't last long. They say no one punched harder and more direct than the bomber.
Sugar Ray Robinson-
The inspiration for Muhammad Ali and literally created the term "pound for pound" due to dominating light heavy, middle, welter and light weight classes, Sugar Ray had a professional record of 128-1-2 with 84 knockouts. Robinson held the world welterweight title from 1946 to 1951, and won the world middleweight title in the later year. He retired in 1952, only to come back two and a half years later and regain the middleweight title in 1955. He then became the first boxer in history to win a divisional world championship five times. Quite the track record for the fighter who's career spanned 26 years. Renowned for his fluidity and being a very ambidextrous fighter, he had a rhythm like non other in the ring. Muhammad Ali is quoted saying this "The king, the master, my idol". That must account for something.
Mike Tyson-
Many have avoided calling Tyson one of the greatest. But then I ask myself who has instilled more fear in the ring than Mike? For god sake's his nick name is "The baddest man on the planet", not a nick name that is achieved easily. With a record 50-2-6 he has 44 knockouts. 44 knockouts meaning chances are you were going to die if you were in the ring with him. In the 80’s and early 90’s, Tyson was looked at as an unbeatable juggernaught who knocked out every contender of every size and caliber within the first few rounds of almost every fight. It became an entertaining query just how long the next unlucky sap would last. Lets say if he didn't run into personal and legal issues, didn't have Holyfield's ear for lunch and wasn't a crazy asshole then his perception and career would only have him be the most feared in the game.
Manny Pacquaio-
Too much to be said for the fighting pride of the Philippines. An eight-division world champion winning 10 world titles in eight weight classes, Manny Pacquaio is currently 57-3 with 38 knockouts coming off a fresh victory over the cheating fuck who is Margarito. Clearing out the welterweights one victory after the next, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, all I can say is when is he going to fight Mayweather! Future president of the Phillipines as he is already in the house of representatives and mogul, he only seems hungrier for more and never ducks anybody. He has already proven his worth more and more every time he fights qith his aggressive speed and direct punches. No defense is safe from him making it almost impossible to handle him in the ring.
Please leave comments and add some to an honorable mentions list. If I missed anyone from my top 5 it's because I did not want them there!
