Ho-Ho-Ho!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with the big day literally just a few days away. And if you're anything like most of us around these parts, you still have yet to make your gift list much less had the motivation to check it twice.
The good news is we're here to help get you through the holiday hustle and bustle.
We reached out to several of our most favorite retailer-type folks and asked them to recommend some of their best stuff, which we could then pass along to inspire our website visitors with potential gift ideas for the certain special mixed martial arts (MMA) fan(s) in their lives.
Maybe it's your significant other, colleague or even yourself ... it doesn't really matter. What matters is that we've assembled an awesome collection of various gift ideas for you to consider after the jump. If nothing on this list suits your fancy, which is highly unlikely, then use it as inspiration to snag some other cool gear if nothing else.
An opportunity like this don't come around often ... do yourself a favor and capitalize on it. You've still got time!
Check out the MMAmania.com Christmas/Holiday Gift Guide 2011 in the extended entry:
"ALI THE GREATEST" t-shirt from No Mas
Price: $40
Today, with a career’s worth of achievements as a fighter and a man to back it up, Ali’s most famous utterance reads like a statement of simple fact. But before his 1964 encounter with Sonny Liston, most observers considered Ali’s self-evaluation to be pure hubris. Of course, that didn’t stop Ali, then Cassius Clay, from releasing a 1963 album titled "I Am The Greatest." This t-shirt is inspired by the fonting on a button Ali once gave out to admirers and the hope that the power of his self-affirmation is contagious.

"Devil's Cut" bourbon from Jim Beam
Price: $23.99 (750 ml)
As bourbon ages, a portion of the liquid is lost from the barrel due to evaporation-that's the "Angel's Share." After aging, when the bourbon is dumped out of the barrel, a certain amount of whiskey is left trapped within the wood of every barrel. We call that the "devil's cut." To create Jim Beam Devil's Cut, an extraordinary new bourbon experience, we developed a proprietary process that actually pulls the rich whiskey trapped inside the barrels' wood after they're emptied. We hold this barrel-treated extract until it develops the proper balance of bourbon notes, then blend it with 6 year old bourbon and bottle at 90 proof. The result: a robust, premium bourbon with deep color, aroma and character.
To purchase "Devil's Cut" and/or any other spirits in the Jim Beam collection visit a liquor store near you or click here.
