One of my good friends Dan Matthews stars in a series documenting his journey to find his biological Korean family. Dan is a Korean-American adoptee and ever since I’ve known him, he’s tried to reconnect with his Korean heritage. He’s brought so many people together through his community work and…

OtakuFIGHTER: The best birthday present!?

Happy early birthday!?  I think, I’m not too sure what time it is.  Anywhoo, I ran my first half marathon in 3:20:52.  I might’ve finished backwards. Big ups to the San Diego Half Marathon peeps and everyone that put it all together.  My legs are shot.

Dom’s Still Callin.

(Image Via: BlazinStreetz) Dom Kennedy serves up some visuals to accompany the release of “Get Home Safely”. “Still Callin″ to me was the stand out track from this particular tape, so it’s only proper that it gets the full video treatment. I’ve said it many times before in my writing and I will continue to…

Weidman vs. Machida for the UFC Middleweight Title!?

Earlier today, the Nevada State Athletic Commission banned the use of Testosterone Replacement Therapy in combat sports.  That includes MMA.  For some time, TRT was hailed as a safe alternative to steroid use, and its use was widely publicized.  Especially for the UFC’s resurgent star, Vitor Belfort. Although as luck would have it, his supposed…

Air Jordan 1 x Nike SB = FINALLY!

FACT: The Air Jordan 1 is my favorite shoe. There’s a rich history behind this sneaker. Breaking NBA uniform rules, the subsequent ban from the NBA, the $5000 per game fine, Michael Jordan’s first dunk contest and dropping 63 on the Boston Celtics… but did you know that this shoe ended up on clearance racks and…
