UFC 211: Stipe Miocic vs. Junior dos Santos 2 is Saturday, so we'll preview that title fight plus the card. Fighter discontent - be it from Anderson Silva, Luke Rockhold, Nate Diaz or many of the others - is at an all-time high. What is solution out of this morass? We'll explore. Plus, boxing is having a great year with Anthony Joshua's big win and the Gennady Golovkin (GGG) vs. Canelo Alvarez fight on the horizon. This is the Promotional Malpractice Live Chat with Luke Thomas.

Welcome to Metalchondria!  My name is Jason Williams, and I'm creating this Metal webpage, or blog if you wish to call it that too.  From interviewing bands to discuss their current events, going to deeper detail on their sound, legacy, criticisms and such, to reviewing live shows and breaking down songwriting, melodies, technique and the importance of what the instruments and vocals are a part of.  I've written and still write for Metal Assault, in which I've contributed 50+ interviews and reviews from several of the high end Metal bands we all love.  Dark Tranquility, Goatwhore, Vader, Gorguts, At the Gates, Belphegor, Dying Fetus, Syrebris, Exhumed, and many, many more.  I hope to capture the imagination of the most casual and definite hardcore Metal fan with Metalchondria!  This will be a work in progress, with the vision of the name slowly and surely coming closer to a reality.  Thank you all for any support and attention you give to Metalchondria, I will give my utmost attention to the passion and love I have for the greatest and most outstanding genre in music:  Metal.
