John Fitch is ridiculously tough. Before fighting GSP at the Target Center, he was tied with Royce Gracie for the most consecutive wins in the UFC. Unfortunately, being tough and gritty alone doesn’t make you a champion.
Fitch fought valiantly for five rounds against what is arguably the greatest athlete in all of MMA and one of the most dynamic fighte… Click to read more

Just when you thought it was safe to say Fedor has regained his crown of pound for pound greatest MMA fighter on the planet, this happens…on the same night. In an obvious (though they denied it) attempt to draw eyes away from Affliction : Banned (unnecessary, really, the Banned guys did a horrible job advertising), Dana White and company set up a fight ca… Click to read more

I blew $50 on the Affliction fight.
I thought for sure it was going to be amazing, with a fight card like what they had – how could it not be? Within the first minute, I was amazed that they had Michael Buffer as the announcer. I thought, WHOAH! Hardcore!
No…not quite. The fighter segments, audio and almost every shot, was being produced by film stude… Click to read more

It didn’t take Jackson very long to post the $25,000 bail he needed after going all ‘sunday sunday sunday’ in his ‘Rampage-mobile.’ Unfortunately, Jackson didn’t have much time to enjoy his freedom. According to Sherdog.com, friends of Jackson signaled to police that he may be a danger to himself and those around a… Click to read more

In a horrible/hilarious act of perfect irony, the now-aptly named Quinton “Rampage” Jackson–typically one of the more casual and lighthearted stars in the UFC–put his enormous lifted truck (with his picture and the word “Rampage” plastered all over it) to good use by going on an all-out vehicular rampage, smashi… Click to read more

My favorite sport can kick your favorite sport’s ass…literally. MMA has been exploding over the past couple of years—merchandise, reality shows, pay-per-views—and in my opinion it’s the best sport on Earth. Here are some reasons why:
10) Post-fight interviews with Joe Rogan
Interviewing an athlete after a major win or loss can be difficult at the best of t… Click to read more

In what may go down in history as one of the greatest and closely contested UFC title fights in history, Forrest Griffin did what many said could not be done when he shirked his ‘Reality TV Star’ stigma and became the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of the world. The fight went all five rounds and saw both fighters stay on their feet for the majority,… Click to read more

Perhaps you’ve heard of Affliction clothing? Even if you haven’t, you’ve seen it. It’s everywhere on television. The shirts with all the flaming skulls and crazy designs on them with the word ‘affliction,’ somewhere. These shirts first started popping up on MMA fighters at UFC events, but have suddenly disappear… Click to read more

Another season of Spike TV’s the Ultimate Fighter has passed, and whether or not you like this show (7 seasons in and it has lost some luster), you must admit, these free ‘Finale’ cards on Spike are great. And they are especially great when the UFC’s acknowledges (finally) that we don’t want to see the rejects from the show bea… Click to read more

So, EliteXC wants to be a player. They want to be the UFC. They want to be a premiere MMA organization. That’s fine. I’m all for more MMA org’s popping up. It’s good for the sport, as they say. And more importantly, good for the fighters. In comparison to boxing, MMA fighters are getting paid like they’re playing professional t… Click to read more

The night began with me running around to find my corporate AMEX, because f#$k knows I don’t have $50 to watch this – but I prevailed, and wound up using my girlfriend’s father’s credit card. Thank you Mr. Dreyfus…you…you’re a keeper!
So Joe Rogan and the other dude love to hear themselves talk, we are just a capt… Click to read more

The time has come for Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva to throw down.
Not saying I have a man crush, but if I did – I would be Rich Franklin’s bitch. But let’s be serious for a moment, Anderson can Muy Thai his ass all over Ohio – but at the end of the day, Rich Franklin is going to dominate. Rich has striking power that will shut down Anderso… Click to read more
