  • Rollic, on 07/15/2009, -1/+18Is it sad that I'm more interested in the MMA site than finding out that AOL still exists?
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -1/+8AOL is still around?
  • Hetman, on 07/15/2009, -1/+7MMA is becomming a very big industry. This is a good pick up for AOL. I feel MMA is probably going to expand much more.
  • russdogg, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4Am I now gonna get a cd in the mail offering 1000 free minutes of MMA?
  • Lionhart, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4Another great business decision by AOL.
  • redux2redux, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3And don't forget to get your 'Mixed Martial Arts & Crafts' tee shirt...

  • lovemorgul, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Best knock-out in a long time!
  • HyperJack, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Instead of dreaming you should go back to school and relearn the English language.
  • FearlessFreep, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Not at all
  • likwidfuzion, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2You Got Mail! -> You Got KTFO!
  • KittySpark1es, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2And in the blue corner, a black belt in OMG WTF?!?! Standing at 5'10" 170lb..... BeachDude4u7183!
  • uruururr, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1cage potato ftw
  • dhughes, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1 Assaulted Mixed Martial Arts, sponsored by Mr. Peanut.
  • jjamminjon, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1People still think AOL only has dial up?
  • LinuxPerson, on 07/15/2009, -3/+4B1ackmath: Pure ignorance on display
  • jjamminjon, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Grats, we finally agree on something.
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1AOL still exists? Oh those bad memories...
  • kelp, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Actually, I believe AOL should have acquired Klickitaw County's Cable Network if they wanted martial arts.

  • FearlessFreep, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1I train with a guy who wears that one :)
  • bigteebo, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Because AOL has fallen out of the public spotlight, almost into complete obscurity. Any actions they do, such as buying a website, would be deemed as trivial and would be considered non-important and non-news-worthy compared to other news that makes the front page of DIGG. If you were to take a count of people who are really interested in AOL versus a # of people interested in indie MMA websites, chances are it would add up to 12. The # of people interested in both would add up to even less.
  • chesscom, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1MMA -- AOL... who didn't see this obvious match coming?
  • ohplease, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2Oh good, now people that can't fight AND can't use the internet will have a new place to talk out of their asses.

  • Chronoped, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1MMA applied to the internet! Their moronic online arguments could be called mixed poetic arts. Combining the BEST words from all types of poetry, without all that useless grammar stuff, to make DEVASTATING streamlined AOL debate styles. It'll be all the rage, with sanctioned matches, and a new breed of "mixed" writing enthusiasts will be born. Way better than that silly old TRADITIONAL writing junk...
  • yournightmare, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1mma.tv is better.
  • brisketplease, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1let's buy quirky wordplay t-shirts and enjoy internet links!
  • rabidgoose, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0This should go well.
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0People still use that meme?
  • gherikill, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1***** THE OG! TTT
  • fakeollie, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1Meh. They should have acquired a MAGICAL Martial Arts site.

  • bigteebo, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1This sounds like an Onion article.
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0why?

    (And seriously...that "I thought this was from The Onion" thing is getting old.)
  • PanicAK, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1mmajunkie.com is better anyway.
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0The fact that YOU don't know what AOL has done lately does not mean that they are obscure.
  • aaaleman, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1Great. Now put some f***ing Bas in it!

  • AraleNorimaki, on 07/15/2009, -2/+1people still use dial up?
  • bluehouse, on 07/15/2009, -3/+1Now only if we could get Sarah Palin could run AOL. In one swoop, we will be rid of AOL, ultra conservative whack-jobs, AND meatheads. Well a boy can dream, can't he?
  • lnxfi, on 07/15/2009, -7/+2I tried to acquire my name's website, but this jerk has it...
