CagePotato.com: A One-Year Retrospective

(Jenna, you shouldn't have. You really, really shouldn't have.)
Holy crap! CagePotato.com turns one year old today, y'all! Many thanks to those of you who have stuck with us since the beginning — or the close-to-beginning, at least — and helped build this little site into what I believe is the most entertaining and energetic MMA community on the Internet. Lots of bigger and badder things to come, so stay tuned and tell your friends. To honor this day, let's take a trip in the way-back machine, and revisit 25 of CagePotato's all-time greatest moments. Enjoy...

shitwhistle Says:
Congrats, you pussies.
Your site sucks so bad, I check everyday to see if you've managed to make it any less sucky.
Today is no exception..... you still suck. Maybe tomorrow.
I can't believe I started reading this sucky site when I was only ten.
Fenix Says:
Hey Cage Potato, Fuck You...
-Dana White
Wow Dana, calm down. lol Umm anyways, congrats and Happy Bday CP. I love the site, really great up to date coverage of MMA. You guys are hilarious, another reason why I come here daily.
ITMASTER69 Says:
My favorites:
Rachelle Leah's playboy pix - no other sites showed this!!
The 3 Greatest Fights in MMA History - this really cracked me up!!
Thank you. Keep up the great work CagePotato. Congrats on your 1st year. Don't burn $55million like ProElite did so be you'll be around a lot longer to entertain us .
Hurricane Says:
My favorite article was your Top 10 Worst MMA Tattoos. That's the reason I started reading this site! I've never laughed harder at a Top 10 list then when I read your entry about Brock's dick sword.
mmmiles Says:
Definitely the most entertaining site - the only MMA site I check daily. You guys do a great job. Good content, good writing - CP by armbar. Or standing reverse elbow KO.
Vrax Says:
My favorite is the one wherein I win a copy of Fighter. Hasn't happened yet, but still, it's my favorite CP moment.
Fenix Says:
THIS, is my favorite caption. Damn, for some reason it caught me off gaurd and I spit out some of my drink at the time. Good stuff!

(’Oh, hello there. Didn’t see you come in. Just rolling up my sleeves and inspecting this cage here. No big deal. It’s part of what I do.’)
Also +1111111... for the Rachelle Leah pics :D
Markdog Says:
Is that black blotch Jenna's pubes? I guess the carpet doesn't match the drapes?
Scott Says:
So why shit talk Kimbo nearly everyday since his single pro loss... yet be proud of his endorsement of cagepotato.com?
Don't get me wrong this is my favorite site to visit throughout the day, but make up your mind whether or not Ferg is a positive or a negative and stick to it.
ksgbobo Says:
I got to agree with Hurricane with the Top 10 Worst MMA Tattoos...hilarious...
My favorites are the Top 10s, and the captions that are with the pictures...always brings a laugh
Ive been reading this website since the beginning of last year, and have read it everyday since, great job CP, and keep it up...Happy Birthday
ksgbobo Says:
meant to say end of last year...sorry
BIG CHRIS Says:
congrats! Keep up the good work.
Cliff Huxtable Says:
Hey CP, Happy birthday, your site is great. Thanks to your great writing and frequent updates I have never been less productive at work.
Thanks...
Luiz Says:
I am currently at an Animal Behavior class, and Cage Potato saves me from boredom every time im here. I am very biased to say, but my favorite article has to be the interview with Machida since I was the one who interviewed him. Congrats on the 1st bday CP, keep up the good work
mayhem420 Says:
If not for this site....
I might actually do some work, while at work.
Thanks! ..... I think...
Paal Says:
Happy Birthday CP! I started watching UFC about 6months ago.. I discoverd this site about 2.5 months ago.. And i have been visiting 2-5 times every singel day after.. And i still will because of the great news you bring uss and also the super funny things u guys write! man, im laughing so hard :P Happy birthday <3
Sam Says:
Got to say favourite moments were the greatest moments in commercials starring fighters, the "too tiny to arm bar" competition because it won me a shirt and the day feckin commenting got fixed on this site.
Yiew! for Cage Potato!
Billy Bad Ass Says:
I love that Kimbo video. What a fucking bum. Tapping might be for bitches, but only faggots have glass jaws.
Fenix Says:
I also loved the Top Worst Tatts but that was actually a Top *12* Worst MMA Tattoos. Should be Worst 13 with Seth Petruzellis ghey-ass full ass tramp stamp. LMAO!!!
justin Says:
CP is by far and away the best MMA blog out there, but the epic fail of preemptively naming Joe Duarte as Dana White's "the next Anderson Silva" remains memorable.
10pound Says:
I really like CP. I think you guys do a good job of bringing MMA news to the masses and I prefer you to Sherdog. Happy Bday and keep it up.
Brian - MMAStation.com Says:
Congrats all. Definitely a great site and glad to see you still kicking.
Tomass Says:

totaldb Says:
Congrats CP, I hope your girlfriend takes you to the Olive Garden to celebrate

sarah Says:
happy birthday, CP. i read you every day and can say that you are truly the classiest MMA blog around. which isn't saying much at all.
I would like to request more open letters like Dear Guy Attending This Live MMA Event.
UFC fan Says:
Happy Birthday CP.
Now why does the fucking pages load so slow?
And why does this stupid fucking pop up shit keep popping up when they aren't suppose to?
OrMMA Says:
(In her singing debut, Jenna mistakes the microphone for another object shes used to holding near her mouth)
CP is the only site i check atleast 2 to 3 times a day, it was one of the best discoveries almost a year ago, Keep up the good work.

You're still just a baby, in MMA years... but already the best-of-the-best in your field!
As my doctor, attorney, CPA, and employer would all say...
"Mazel-Tov"!!!
walrus Says:
CP should make a list of your best photo captions, some are hilarious.
