It's Christmas Eve, which means that all of the MMAmania.com crew has gone AWOL. Thanks, guys. I'll also be taking time to today to spend with friends and family ... I suggest you all do the same.

For those stuck at work and/or behind computer desks, we don't want you to feel abandoned on the holidays. So go "Elf Yourself!." Best MMA-related submission in the comments section below wins a soon to be determined prize.

Feel free to also discuss whatever MMA-related news and notes you discover in the comments section below. Check back early and often ... there's no telling when the Egg Nog will run dry and we'll resume blogging at our usual frenetic pace.

Happy holidays, maniacs. Big happenings on the horizon for the site in 2009. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, be safe and be merry.
