Gracie Design Contest
I found out on Gracie Academy's site that they were having a t-shirt design competition for their line of clothing. I have a really good friend, Fernando, who is a beast when it comes to any kind of design. He's also an avid blogger. I encouraged him to submit something just to see what he would come up with. I know my boy has skills but he managed to come up with a pretty amazing design in about 24 hours. I mean this is sick. I strongly encourage everyone to please vote for his design and ask your friends to do the same. There is only one week left. Please cast your vote today!Vote here

MMA on the NY Times’ Front Page
By Jake Rossen (jrossen@sherdog.com)
Tuesday, February 2 6:38 pm PT: Despite the congestion of MMA coverage in “mainstream” media over the past five years, there’s still some uncharted territory left. While we wait for Andy Rooney to chime in, the sport can make do with a front-page mention in The New York Times.
Tuesday’s edition featured a leading story on the marriage between Christianity and fighting as a way of recruiting young men into church activity: Memphis local John Renken performs double duty as a pastor and MMA coach.
“The school’s motto,” writes R.M. Schneiderman, “is ‘Where Fist, Feet and Faith Collide.’” Something tells me Pastor Renken is more of an Old Testament kind of guy.
The status afforded to a front-page narrative in the Times shouldn’t be glossed over: it’s a telling example of the sport’s perpetually-growing influence in culture. The Internet has made ink less of a valued commodity, but this is still real estate that means something.
