Despite four knockout of the night awards in his three years in the UFC, his massive fan following and general popularity among the average fans, Roy Nelson doesn’t believe he’ll be getting a title shot, believing politics dictate title shots. It may be remarks like the former that are keeping Roy from getting a title shot, [...]

I’m currently rewatching The Ultimate Fighter season 1, and it’s incredible to see the career arcs for some of those fighters over the last decade. Sure, quite a few of them are retired, but Kenny is front and center every week for us now on UFC Tonight, and he’s breaking down fights, conducting interviews and [...]

Bravo to the UFC for signing one of the most exciting lightweight fighters in KJ Noons despite the fact that he’s lost his last 4 out of 5 fights. Clearly, Joe Silva and the rest of the decision-making crew understand that in the dwindling talent pool in the lightweight division needs fresh blood, and KJ, [...]

“The Reem” is back after a brutal knockout loss that came from the gigantic hands of Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva at UFC 156. His opponent will also be a humongous heavyweight in 6’7″ Travis Browne, who returns after quickly defeating Gabriel Gonzaga with elbow strikes as “Napao” was trying to get in on a takedown. When [...]

Currently riding high on an eighteen-fight win streak, Glover Teixeira (20-2) has been on the rise and is looking to continue his winning ways when he takes on James Te-Huna (16-5) this Saturday at UFC 160: “Velasquez vs. Bigfoot II,” live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The [...]

After the last few years at light heavyweight, it looks like Gegard has seen the light and will take his talents to middleweight, where he belongs. As a middleweight, Mousasi went 24-2-1 with his only losses coming to Akihiro Gono and Petras Markivcius. Then, Gegard moved to light heavyweight, took part in the Super Hulk [...]

Today Microsoft revealed its new generation of gaming/home entertainment hardware, and with it EA UFC made its first digital appearance. I would normally be more excited for this, but there is almost nothing to really talk about. EA UFC will more than likely be out sometime after March 2014, and we may or may not [...]

John Cholish works on Wall Street and has a high-paying job, so he could do this retirement thing. He made it to the UFC by fighting as a side gig, strictly for the love of it. But it puts into perspective the amount of fighters that are possibly receiving an un-liveable wage while trying to make ends [...]

TRT had nothing to do with that kick, but it had something to do with Vitor training with a new vigor, like he wasn’t an eighteen year veteran of the sport. TRT helped him push himself, probably making him faster and stronger, but yeah, you’re right, Luke. TRT had nothing to do with the actual [...]

  Odd. Bellator says it doesn’t want UFC castoffs to fill their ranks, yet half their upcoming season 9 welterweight is filled with — you guessed it: UFC castoffs. Personally, I don’t mind. Those were Bjorn Rebney’s words, and I’m perfectly fine with seeing Matt Riddle take on Paul Daley , Douglas Lima, Ben Saunders [...]

  After the last two weeks of second-guessing and wondering if the Mark Hunt hype train would be derailed due to a prior arrest years ago, thus effecting his Visa  and travel to the US for his fight against JDS, everything has cleared. Life is good, we are cool, everything is great. Now, we shall [...]

  There is absolutely nothing we’d like to see more than Anderson Silva taking on Bones Jones to truly decide who is the greatest fighter in the world today. No better gift could be granted, and hopefully it happens, but at the same time, I don’t want to kill myself holding my breath. Yet another [...]

  I think we can all agree that Paulo Thiago’s greatest Octagon moment was when he knocked out Josh Koscheck at UFC 95. From there he lost to Jon Fitch, beat Mike Swick and Jacob Volkmann, then kind of went on a spiral, losing four out of his last five fights to the likes of [...]
