Balls Deep in MMA

VBS is the video broadcasting arm of Vice Magazine, one of my favorite publications. They’re known for their fearless assault on dicey content and a no-holds-barred-keep-it-real journalism style.

They’re doing a show called Balls Deep in which they throw their waify host Thomas “Baby Balls” Morton into foreign experiences to get a personal dose of what it’s like. Currently they’re doing a bit on MMA where Baby Balls follows an amateur fighter Matthew Ruskin around and tries to keep up with the training. The series leads up to Ruskin’s real fight in Atlanta.

What I really enjoy from this so far is that although Morton is no physical specimen, he throws himself fully into the lifestyle and delivers a perspective that the average person can relate to. This is one of the more honest and unbiased pieces on MMA I’ve seen.
