Stipe Miocic steals the show at UFC 161
When compiling my hov-mma staff fight picks I always do two things. 1. Make better picks than everyone else and 2. Find myself talking up an underdog. Anyone who has read the staff pick 'em will know the former is true but the latter is worth a little more discussion.
A prediction every event or so usually goes something like "If fighter X can execute his gameplan perfectly...

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 White, and said: “hey, any Milwaukee shows...

According to UFC President Dana White, who spoke with members...
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 be honest here, Mazzagatti was just standing there...
