The sport of Mixed Martial Arts is well on its way to mainstream acceptance. With that kind of notoriety comes a culture, a culture influenced by the sport, its athletes and all the personalities that support it.

With so many random items kicking off here and there throughout each week, I find that now there is a place for a weekly, or perhaps bi-weekly column that summarizes all the comical and inspirational news pieces and clips spread throughout the world that haven’t exactly met my requirement for being newsworthy as an independent feature here on BJPENN.COM.

However, combined they are pure gold and as such, I am creating this new feature her on our site for the Penn Nation and this is the first installment.
