RIP Nelson Frazier Jr

Today would've been the 50th birthday of wrestler Nelson Frazier Jr. who competed under various names such as King Mabel, Viscera, and Big Daddy V in the WWF/WWE. In my opinion, he was one of the most underrated super heavyweights in wrestling history. Sadly, he passed away in 2014 just days after his 43rd birthday.

Yesterday would've been the 65th birthday of former KISS guitarist Mark St. John who was KISS' third lead guitarist and had the shortest tenure from May-December 1984 during which he played on that year's Animalize record. St. John passed away in 2007 at 51 due to a brain hemmorage.

Can't believe I forgot but February 6th marked a sad milestone as it was the 10th Anniversary of the passing of Irish guitarist Gary Moore due to a heart attack at 58. Moore was one of the best guitarist as he specialized in both hard rock and later blues. While he was big in Europe and Asia, he sadly never caught on in North America and many probably don't know him or remember him but it's their loss. Moore was a sad one for me as I've been fortunate to see almost everyone I ever wanted to but he was the one that got away.

With the release of Donkey Kong Country in 1994, the world was introduced to one of the greatest games of all time on one of the greatest consoles of all time. With the game's success, a sequel was a no brainer and that's what we would get in Donkey Kong County 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Released in November 1995, the game see Diddy Kong as the star and joined by girlfriend Dixie as they venture to Crocodile Isle to rescue Donkey Kong from the first game's antagonist K. Rool. With the 25th Anniversary having come and gone, we'll take a look at another classic.

MMA Title Fights We Never Got Part 1

MMA Title Fights We Never Got Part 1
February 1, 2021 
By Ryan Porzl

Just recently, I saw a video from MMA On Point on YouTube and the video was "Top 10 Title Fights We Were Robbed Of" which was a video they did two years covering MMA Title fights we nearly got but they ended it up not happening and if they did end up happening, it was many years later or even a little later when a title was no longer on the line. Seeing the video, I thought it would be fun to do my own list especially since they left me with a treasure trove to work with. Not only do I credit MMA On Point for the inspiration for this list, I also decided out of fairness, not only do I give them credit but I will also not use their ten choices since they already used them so if you want to see their list, it's on YouTube as of writing.

Before we start, here was MMA On Points Top Ten List in case you're curious
10. Fabricio Werdum vs. Cain Velasquez
9. Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson
8. Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman
7. Jose Aldo vs. Anthony Pettis
6. Max Holloway vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov
5. Dominick Cruz vs. Renan Barao
4. Jon Jones vs. Anthony Johnson
3. Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Conor McGregor
2. Josh Barnett vs. Fedor Emelianenko (Affliction)
1. Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson

With that said, here's my list
