MMA SQUARED: Edmund and Fedor, GSP and Holly enter the Gorey MMA alphabet

First there was one, then there were two. Now four more are in store.

If you’re curious about this umbrella picture.

A is for Andy whose leg snapped in half.

B is for Black Beast whose balls made us laugh.

C is for Conor and his meteoric rise.

D is for Diaz who was not surprised.

E is for Edmund, “head movement!” he cried.

F is for Fedor, the Last Emperor of PRIDE

G is for Georges who feared alien invasion.

H is for Holly who shocked Armbar Nation.

As always, if you are new to this series there is a classic book by Edward Gorey that “tells the tale of 26 children (each representing a letter of the alphabet) and their untimely deaths in rhyming dactylic couplets, accompanied by the author’s distinctive black and white illustrations. It is one of Edward Gorey’s best-known books, and is the most notorious amongst his roughly half-dozen mock alphabets. It has been described as a “sarcastic rebellion against a view of childhood that is sunny, idyllic, and instructive.”

To understand where we are heading take a look at the original book here.

Now in these dark days of both the world and MMA, I thought it would be fun to tell our own dark funny stories, one letter at a time.

Take care of yourself and I’ll talk to you on Monday.
