Real gangsters…. Read poems? I guess so, because that’s what Chael Sonnen did last night on UFC Tonight, he even got a lame Mayhem Miller joke in with some forced laughs coming from Daniel Cormier and Kenny Florian. So if you needed any other reason to watch Shogun take on Chael, maybe this “trash talk” […]

We love Freddie Roach here at Fighthub, that much is obvious. We love going to the Wild Card and talking with him whenever possible, and just watching him hold the mats for select dudes gives us a treasured lesson in ass-kickery. As we’ve reported before, Freddie is teaching Shogun how to “not hit like a […]
