MMA Mania Opens Thread For Remembrance Day

MMA Mania ran its weekly open thread Wednesday, marking Remembrance Day with a call for fans to share their World War connections.

The site's Tim Edwards invited readers to post personal stories or media related to the First and Second World Wars. "Does anyone have anything they want to share regarding the World War 1 and World War 2?" Edwards wrote, per the MMA Mania post.

Edwards shared his own family history, noting his English grandfather served as a sapper working on railway lines in Belgium and the Netherlands while his grandmother worked in a munitions factory. He also mentioned a great uncle killed at the Somme as a bicycle courier.

The thread also featured a sumo bout between yokozuna Onosato and Fujiseiun, alongside a pick-em game for upcoming UFC fights. Edwards launched a new Comment of the Day feature highlighting user MooseAlmighty's take on Andre Petroski.
