Greg Jackson working w/Joe Warren; talks Bellator’s Fight Master reality show

Greg Jackson working w/Joe Warren; talks Bellator’s Fight Master reality show

Years from now Greg Jackson will be on the short list of the greatest coaches of all time. Love him, hate him, or feel something in-between, the point still stands. MMA is a different beast, but Greg Jackson has every right to be mentioned with the John Madden, or Tommy Lasordas of the  world. Who [...]

Randy Couture has not spoken to Dana White since split, talks Fight Master

Randy Couture has not spoken to Dana White since split, talks Fight Master

Randy Couture remains one of the most iconic people in mixed martial arts despite being retired for over two years. He’s now a successful actor in Hollywood, looks to have a multi-show deal with Spike and Viacom, and Dana White absolutely hates him. It’s not just his hall of fame career that’s keeping the name Randy Couture [...]

Junior dos Santos: “Cain Velasquez hits like a girl.”

Junior dos Santos: “Cain Velasquez hits like a girl.”

Oh. Snap. I’m not sure if it’s his recent bout with Mark Hunt that invigorated JDS’ willingness to talk some trash, or maybe Mark Hunt is the most manly puncher JDS has ever faced, thus leading JDS to make this simple, and possibly lost in translation quote, but man, somewhere Cain isn’t happy. Yep, JDS [...]

Anthony Pettis wants TJ Grant’s lightweight shot in Milwaukee, Benson Henderson just wants to fight.

Anthony Pettis wants TJ Grant’s lightweight shot in Milwaukee, Benson Henderson just wants to fight.

Here we go again, another title shot, another possible usurper. This is why fighters need to look at their employer’s calendar of events and possibly discuss with their bosses, matchmakers, management and team to figure out just what the hell it is that they want to do. Anthony Pettis should’ve simply called up Joe Silva or Dana [...]

Tyron Woodley 100% believes he beat Jake Shields at UFC 161.

Tyron Woodley 100% believes he beat Jake Shields at UFC 161.

Well Tyron, you may have a point, but then again, the same points you’re making for yourself can work against you. Sure, Jake Shields went 0-18 on takedowns, but you failed to secure one yourself, Tyron. In fact, you spent a ridiculous amount of time with your huge back against the cage, getting your leg [...]

Despite loss at UFC 161 and plenty of fighting with the boss, Dana White wants Roy Nelson back.

Despite loss at UFC 161 and plenty of fighting with the boss, Dana White wants Roy Nelson back.

Last night Roy Nelson set a UFC record for the most punches absorbed without ever being TKOd or KOd. That’s absolutely wild considering Nelson’s relatively short time in the Octagon. Nelson has taken 487 punches to the head and now, it must be said, maybe it’s affected his decision making progress. Apparently Roy turned down [...]

Hendo wants to “beat the hell out of” Rashad Evans.

Hendo wants to “beat the hell out of” Rashad Evans.

Is this Hendo’s swan song? Will a loss here put him on the downward spiral we’ve seen so many others take? The 42-year-old Dan Henderson has nothing left to prove, and we know he wants his UFC title shot, the one thing that has eluded him all these years in a career filled with Pride title belts, [...]

Dana White’s reaction to the Fitch/Burkman fight was pretty interesting.

Dana White’s reaction to the Fitch/Burkman fight was pretty interesting.

No bashing, no snide remarks, just a simple observation full of respect to Josh Burkman and cutting down Mazzagatti. Ok, so it wasn’t a completely vitriol-free tweet, Mazzagatti took one on the chin, but what matters here is the fact that Dana was giving respect to the fighters, that’s something I’m happy about. And let’s [...]

Josh Burkman just choked Jon Fitch unconscious at WSOF 3!

Josh Burkman just choked Jon Fitch unconscious at WSOF 3!

Josh Burkman just turned the MMA Math world upside down. By defeating Jon Fitch, one has to think that he’s now a top ten welterweight, and couldn’t be finished by GSP, and has better submission skills than Demian Maia. I have no idea which way is up anymore. Everything is upside down. Nothing makes sense. [...]

Dana White confirms that the new TUF with Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate is going as expected.

Dana White confirms that the new TUF with Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate is going as expected.

It’s good to know that there are some constants in life beyond death, taxes, Rousey by armbar. We will always be able to rely on the hatred Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate have for each other. It must make Dana White happy, because this is pretty much guaranteed ratings for his fledgling Ultimate Fighter series, and frankly, [...]

Dan Lauzon is back in Joe Lauzon’s corner after “toxic” training sessions.

Dan Lauzon is back in Joe Lauzon’s corner after “toxic” training sessions.

  I know that brotherly love can sometimes be wrapped in a nice burrito of vitriol, punches, kicks and acidic words, and the Lauzon brothers are no strangers to that dynamic. Dan was ousted from his brother Joe’s training camps after not taking them seriously enough, and now they are back together, and Dan will be [...]

Chael Sonnen on TRT: “I would never take anything if I didn’t think it would help me.”

Chael Sonnen on TRT: “I would never take anything if I didn’t think it would help me.”

It’s TRT Wednesday over here at Fighthub supposedly, first Vitor Belfort clears the air now Chael Sonnen is taking us back a few years to finally set straight his supposedly “elevated” testosterone at UFC 117, when he came within a minute of defeating Anderson Silva. In this interview with Bleacher Report, Chael basically says he took tesosterone [...]

Vitor Belfort goes public about his TRT usage: “What hurts me is that people are trying to take away my hard work”

Vitor Belfort goes public about his TRT usage: “What hurts me is that people are trying to take away my hard work”

The TRT discussion is a tough one. No one really has all the information, everyone is quick to make declarative statements. As Luke Rockhold said, TRT did not help Vitor land that head kick shown above, but you have to believe it helped the 36-year-old train better, harder and longer. Therein lies the gray area. Most fans [...]

Joe Warren on his coaching slot on FightMaster “I would have a hard time picking me (next to Greg and Randy).”

Joe Warren on his coaching slot on FightMaster “I would have a hard time picking me (next to Greg and Randy).”

Joe Warren walking into the sport of MMA, and almost taking the featherweight Dream tournament in his debut is still one of the most amazing fighter debuts in history. In my opinion at least. Then his rise in Bellator that culminated in a wild knockout of Joe Soto that placed the featherweight strap around Warren’s [...]

Greg Jackson thinks Chael is brilliant if he really knew about Hendo’s 151 injury.

Greg Jackson thinks Chael is brilliant if he really knew about Hendo’s 151 injury.

If Chael Sonnen taking on Jon Jones away from Dan Henderson in a weird conspiracy that Hendo was involved in… I don’t even know. I really don’t. I have a feeling we shouldn’t be reading too much into this one-off comment by Chael Sonnen, in which he implicates Hendo and himself in the grandest of [...]

Erick Silva plays down his performance at FUEL TV 10: “Too Soon for Georges St-Pierre”

Now as impressive as that submission victory was over Jason High at UFC on FUEL TV 10, it doesn’t mean Erick Silva is ready for a title shot. I mean, I like Silva, I think he’s a hell of an up and comer in the sport, but he’s still outside the murderer’s row that is the welterweight [...]

Jon Fitch vs. Dana White, the feud that may never stop: “I was fighting for my job every single fight.”

  The picture of a strained relationship between the UFC has been painted in broad stokes and deep colors the last few months, and with the cut of Jon Fitch, liberal use of red paint was used as an exclamation. Jon Fitch vs. Dana White, the feud that may never stop. But now, Dana White seems [...]
