10 Legendary MMA Fighters You've Probably Never Heard Of

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…

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.

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.

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!

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
