MMA Marketplace: Get your WEC goods while you can

Excuse me for being a little nostalgic over the last WEC show tonight. I've always had a soft spot for this promotion with their reliably exciting cards and kind and personable fighters. I'm sure this twinge of nostalgia will continue well after the final horn is sounded on Ben Henderson vs. Anthony Pettis and Scott Jorgensen vs. Dominick Cruz. One way to indulge in that is to get some WEC gear before it can only be found on eBay. 

The UFC Store has markdowns on much of the WEC apparel. The blue sherpa sweatshirt is just $31.97 and the t-shirt is just $11.97. You can even get the best of the WEC DVD for less than $15, which is an absolute steal when you get: Torres vs. Mizugaki, McCullough vs. Cerrone, Faber vs. Pulver I and many other amazing fights.

Former MLBer and Dana White friend, Marty Cordova is asking for your prayers

The holidays have been awful for Marty Cordova and his family. The 1995 AL Rookie of the Year spent the last seven days in a Salt Lake City hospital at the bedside of his 15-year-old daughter.

On the morning of Dec. 16, Ashley McAdam was heading to Herriman High School just outside Salt Lake City. She was a passenger in a vehicle driven by a friend that was hit by a truck as it pulled into school. In addition to the head trauma, she broke her jaw, elbow and thighbone.

So far, she has been unresponsive. Cordova and Ashley's mother, Tamara McAdam-Burleigh, have set up a Facebook page "Supporting Ashley McAdam" where people can offer support. Friends and family have written dozens of messages and posted songs, photos and videos.

The teenage driver of the car broke her collar bone, and a passenger in the back seat needed back surgery. The truck struck the car right where Ashley was sitting.

"She's the victim of a tragic accident," Cordova said. "What I want is for people to see that this can happen to your own kids. Hug your kids spend time with them. And pay attention when you're behind the wheel of a car. Anything can happen."

Cordova, a high school friend of Dana White, is often seen around UFC events. He was  recently seen in a White vlog (5:20 mark) before UFC 124. Cordova was on the roadtrip to Montreal.

The Cordovas are asking for donations.

Recently Beyoncé revealed that she wants to make her "own genre of music" for her next album. So when MTV News caught up with the singer at the New York screening of her concert special, "I Am ... World Tour," we asked her to clarify what exactly it is that she's creating in the studio.

"Well, I wouldn't say I'm inventing a new genre," she said. "I'm mixing every type of genre that I love and I'm inspired by every type of genre."

Beyoncé went on to say that people should throw any preconceived notions about the follow-up to 2008's I Am ... Sasha Fierce out the window. "I'm not in a box," she said. "It's not R&B. It's not typically pop. It's not rock. It's just everything I love all mixed together in my own little gumbo of music."

The singer says that quite a motley crew of musicians have inspired the album. "Definitely Fela Kuti, the Stylistics. How random, right?" she laughed. "So many people ... Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, of course, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall ... all of those things I'm kind of mixing together."

For the album, Beyoncé has been hitting the studio with many of her usual collaborators including Ne-Yo, Sean Garrett and Jim Jonsin. And her mom, Tina Knowles, has given the tracks she's heard so far her seal of approval, saying, "Of course [I heard it]. It's amazing. It's so amazing!"

Are you looking forward to new music from Beyoncé? Let us know in the comments!

Since an old friend told me about his climbing trips to Thailand it’s been one of my boxes-to-tick. Climbing by the beach and then relaxing in the blue seas sounds too good to be true.
