TBT, Orginially posted by Steel Nation Magazine in 2011...this Friday at 9pm at the Palace Theatre in Greensburg PA, the Premeire of their story, "Tough Guys" will be shown. It was written and directed by Bill Viola and was recently picked up by Showtime. This film proves that MMA originated in Pittsburgh long before the UFC came along. Great work!

Great photo shoot this weekend at The Heinz History Center with newly inducted Hall of Famers Mike Murray and Dave Jones. These two guys competed in the very first Mixed Martial Arts fight in the United States back in 1980 right outside of Pittsburgh! They will be honored tonight at the Willie Stargell Charity Dinner at La Mont with the other inductees. Steel Nation Magazine's John Wagner will be at the event with them tonight, look for his write up on the event and what Pittsburgh celebrities and athletes he talks to at www.steelnationmagazine.com this week.

For those of you that are worried about the Pittsburgh Penguins moving forward in their series with the Washington Capitals, on the heels of losing Sidney Crosby to a viscous hit, or maybe you simply forgot, read this article from the New York Times.

Then remember that Mario came back in the Wales Finals, and ultimately the Penguins repeated.

Sure, the teams and players are different, but you can plug and play the details as needed.

History does repeat itself, seemingly 25 years almost to the day...

Sid = Mario
Sheary = Mullen
Geno = Jagr
Bonino = Francis
Kessel = Stevens
Ovi = Graves
Nisky = Himself

Mario Lemieux of the Pittsburgh Penguins, considered by many to be hockey's best player, will miss tonight's game and possibly the rest of the National Hockey League playoffs because a bone in his left hand was fractured on Tuesday night when Adam Graves of the Rangers slashed him with his stick ear...

21/04/2017

Pittsburgh's own Dominic Mazzotta makes his long awaited Bellator debut tonight against top prospect A.J. McKee. Dom has worked his ass off to get here. Tune in tonight at 9pm and cheer on the Honey Badger!
