Uh-oh . . . this doesn't sound encouraging, if true:quote:In just the past six weeks, at least seven stores have closed at the [Macomb] mall, including B. Dalton, Zales, Pearle Vision and Dollar Tree. . . . The situation has gotten so bad, some mall workers told me that the big building vacated by Value City in March 2008 is going to house cage-fighting matches in the not-to-distant future. I wasn’t able to verify that rumor, but – given what we’re witnessing around Metro Detroit today – it wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out to be true. -- DetNews staff blogger Michael Happy, Feb. 10 Full 'Going Home' post here |

This is great news for MMA fans! (thats me!)Actually cage fighting is pretty dumb. Most of them cant even connect punches. However, it would be nice to go buy some jeans and then have some fresh blood splattered on them. Maybe it could be the new fashion thing . |

They can take all those hooligans who are mugging people and breaking into cars in the Mall parking lot, and let them fight it out in the cage. |

Ill take you on for Beatty in the third round. She has a difinitive reach advantage. I dont feel like Karlita has the skill set to get on the inside of Beatty's reach, and she will just get eaten up with jab after jab. If Beatty's cardio is good, she should have the advantage in the later rounds. I will also take you on Kwame. He also has a huge size advantage, and the months in prison have hardened him and he is ready for revenge. Worthy wont be able to crush his spirit this time, and Ill give it to Kwame by blood soaked rear naked choke.

There goes the neighborhood. I woulda put something like that a little further south on Gratiot. When you don't have any brains and your a nut-job strong-guy then this is the occupation for you! |

Retail is going to be decimated in the coming year. Expect many stores closings in all malls in the coming year, and a few major bankruptcies and liquidations. At least that is my prediction anyways. |

One of my college friends (Penn State) was a professional boxer on the side (from his day job) ....... After graduating, I remember driving down from Detroit to Youngstown, Ohio to see him fight one Saturday evening at a mall. I always admired my friend for chasing his dream, but watching boxing in a deserted section of a mall was kind of depressing. This occurring in Youngstown only added to that. I was last at Macomb Mall in August ... deserted (granted, on a Saturday afternoon, a hot and humid one) and looking run down. Unfortunately, this MMA event makes me remember that boxing event. |

Lets see Monica(I talk big, but got no balls) Conyers go up against Sheron(I'm westside-b!tch) McFailer... My bet is on... a forfiture, as Monica will pull a foriegn object out of her sleeve and shank McFail, whereupon she will cry "your a racisist",and you support the (white) suburbs!!! |
