A few days ago we proposed a new contest, asking our readers to provide us with reasons we should send them a free copy of Playboy magazine.
We received more than 175 responses. And here are the winners (in no particular order):
“I just broke up with my girlfriend. She said I ditched her for my “stupid fighting shows” on saturday nights. How could I miss a PPV with Brock Lesnar and GSP? Show me some love Mania!!“
– LiFt
“I dont get the internet on the toilet.“
– kazanski
“I’m a SINGLE father of two! No wife for me yet, God hasn’t made a woman with the enormous sense of perversion and level of patience it requires to put up with me!“
– chefdaddy (for this and other related comments in the thread).
“i want a copy of playboy cause im a true mma fan and would love to read more about it, and get to look at naked chicks. im a simple man, fighting and girls. thats all i need. but im poor, so please, give me a copy.“
– ryan
Congratulations to all the winners. Please send us your contact information and address we can get the issues in the mail (go through the “Contact” page located on the top navigation). “Thorazine” please send in your address, too, with a shirt size — you deserve something for all that activity on the post, but there is just no Playboy ‘fer this guy!
And thanks again to everyone who participated — apologies we could not give a free copy to everyone.
In addition, we would like to extend another special thanks to the good folks over at Playboy Enterprises Inc. for being kind enough to provide MMAmania.com with several copies of the latest installment of America’s most coveted men’s magazine to giveaway to our readers FREE.
Remember that you can go buy Playboy online right here.

Good choices, especially chefdaddy. Hopefully that ottoman idea works for you and keeps the kids’ eyes off of your playboy.
MONDAY MORNING CONVERSATION
One companies genius may ruin one mans career! My sources are telling me that Elite is trying to get Sean Gannon to fight Kimbo on CBS, only problem is, the boston pd is telling him if he does, he’s done. Thats not the career I’m talking about! This would be a genious move by elite. The majority of Kimbo followers are lower income, gangstas and teenagers. This would be a redemption fight for their hero. CBS ratings would soar, and Kimbo would likely get his redemption.
On the flip side, there is us, the hardcore fans. We realize this is just another freak show, and to be honest would be the last straw as far as I’m concerned with elite! For Kimbo, it’s a lose/lose! He wins, he’s supposed to. Everyone says so what, he beat a cop who hasn’t fought since getting killed in 2005. He loses, he’s even lower on the ladder than we already think he is. This could possibly be career suicide. If elite goes under, he has no credibility to go to a place like the UFC. That said, Dana white could feed him to Lesner, who I guarantee would beat Kimbo in less than a minute.
Here’s the kicker…It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. If I had to choose between Kimbo and Lesner, I’d take Lesner’s talent and Kimbo’s attitude. He’s a soft spoken, well spoken guy who is not only humble, but admits he’s very new to all this mma stuff. I respect lesner for wanting to fight the best, but feel Kimbo is getting handled wrong. I truley hope his management demands a better opponent, in my opinion, a big loss is way better than another fluffed up win!
Hmmmm….I think I agree on all points there, kevin.
No complaints here..Well said. I agree 100%…..
The funny thing about Gannons “ufc fight” is that before the fight Dana was promoting Gannon, as “the guy who beat some though street-fighter named Kimbo”..Then, Gannon gets blood-bathed by Hinkle and loses the fight via crying…I remember that fight….
The first time I saw Kimbo on Youtube was about 2 year ago when my brother showed me his backyard fights..The first thing I thought of, was Kimbo is the guy Dana said that cop beat-up..Then I watched all Kimbo’s fights, laughed a little, and thought nothing of it…Now look at Kimbo..He is on top of the world.lol…
I do respect the man though…Like you said he is “humble” and “admits he is new”…That along with he is a pretty decent striker who is training with dedication under the legendary Bas Rutten..It is all good for me…But he should be fighting Brett Rogers and not Sean Gannon…I dont blame Kimbo, I blame EXC..
Also Kevin, word on the street is Kimbo will be fighting old Kenny Shammy, and not Sean Gannon…Only Rumors for now..
yeah, I hear that Gannon WILL NOT be Kimbo’s opponent!
Bring on Shammy, I guess! Its not like EliteXC has many better options.
Best case scenario is Grim, but it seems obvious that it wont happen on October 4th!
WTF are they doing? Its almost September. THe fight is like 5 weeks away They need to get Kimbo an opponent ASAP!
Maybe they are planning on asking Rogers on like two-weeks notice, to give Kimbo a little edge??..
I really hope it’s not agianst Shammy..But it will probably be him..I’ll still watch.lol
I heard that rumer before Ken got ko’d in his last fight, then that rumor died down. If he takes Kimbo down it’s over, but he’ll take the “extra money” to stand with him!
“I’m a SINGLE father of two! No wife for me yet, God hasn’t made a woman with the enormous sense of perversion and level of patience it requires to put up with me!“

Congrats to chefdaddy…well deserved.
I buy Playboy for the articles.
its all good now but wait to u open ur mags and see dana spread eagle getting grapes fed to him by a naked gabe gonzaga
LMFAO! That would be just by luck.
“just my luck.” Can’t type worth a sh*t today.
congrats chef, you deserve it. While my wife is hot, I did want to read the article, but won’t buy one! I figured I’m a staple around here and was a shoe in. Guess not…better luck next time. At least jesse holland wasn’t the judge, or “boobies” would have won.
man i guess my:
“Send me playboy because well.. BOOBS!”
wasn’t good enough.
Great selections couldn’t have done it better myself…. however… there is no Playboy fer’ me!
Thanks for the shirt, I’m h: )ppy as a clam.
But are you as happy as a bearded clam? lol
CD seeping of pervision… if anybody needs a Playboy it’s U… hide it from the kids.. but I’m sure they’re bound to find it!
They are sneaky little kids! I might have to go with UFCAddict’s idea of the ottoman, but not sure how long that will last. I’ll be sure to let you know. Getting busted by a wife/girlfriend would be bad enough, but can you imagine explaining that to your children? Girls, no less? lol.
“I dont get the internet on the toilet”
thats awesome
congrats to all winners and……BOOBIES!
not to hijack a thread mania but did anyone see ken egan for ireland boxing in the final against a Chinese guy?
he was robbed. china may have had more golds than the us but we all know they didnt deserve alot of them.
thats why mma should never be in the olympics.
damn!
i agree! seoul, korea was just as bad. roy jones jr fight was the biggest robbery in olympic history imo.
thanks Mania! boobs were the only cure to my sadness….that and more MMA of course. *take that stupid ex!*
Heat, I feel the same way about China.. But I do give them credit, they are definitely evloving quickly… another 20 yrs and US and China will symbiotically co-exist on a mutually agreed level… that’s my brain surge opinion of the day.
The only reason China hasn’t invaded and completely raken over North America, is because America is such a big market, thats pretty much the only reason China is playing nice.
Don’t fergit’ nuclear weapons of mass destruction aimed at eachother.
Any body seeing the MMA special on nat geographic tv? Not bad actually. Probably old (has the natural in it). They are showing exactly how much pressure a submission requires. Oh yeah…it’s old, there’s Tito.
Not that old really. They just used legends. Fight Masters is either just this 2008, or from last year, 2007…
Fight Science is the name of the show, and I think it was first on like 8 months ago or so. Bas can still hit, huh? WOW
I woulda entered! but here in scotland we dont have postmen! we have the the villiage idiot ride around on fuckin horseback delivering sh*t. Probably woulda arrived at xmas
Suppose it woulda been a nice pressie
