DANA WHITE RUMORS & GOSSIP
Johnson vs. Gustafsson was a true #1 contender fight; Why can’t we have more of these fights?
This is something that has puzzled me for a while now and that is the lack of true number one contenders fights like Anthony Johnson and Alexander Gustafsson one. All too often we end up with a fight where it is obvious who the UFC wants to win so they can fight for the title.

Anthony Johnson finally fulfilling potential as a dangerous light heavyweight
For the majority of mixed martial artists, the most difficult part of competing in the UFC is finding a way to sustain the level of talent that it takes to remain relevant and earn a reliable pay check. But for octagon veteran Anthony Johnson, talent has never been an issue.
Throughout his career in the cage, that talent has continued to give Johnson opportunities to ply his trade...

A look at the long and twisting path to a UFC title; A fan’s perspective
I feel you Lyoto I really do. It has been something that has bothered me for a while now as a fan of the sport. The path to a title in the UFC is one of the most convoluted one you will find. Anyone who has lived or had to negotiate the streets of Munice Indiana will tell you it is one of the most confusing places to try to drive in. It was like they gave a chimp the go ahead to...

Alexander Gustafsson hoping to reclaim title shot at UFC on Fox 14
For someone who stands alone as the only man to have ever made light heavyweight king Jon Jones look human, Alexander Gustafsson rarely gets the respect he deserves.
But success always comes at a price. And in this case, being overlooked is often the cost of competing in such a historically talented weight class with a seemingly-endless stream of marquee talent.
Regardless of the...

Jon Jones’ On Air Interview Full Of Hot Air
UFC President Dana White promised that Monday night’s Jon Jones interview on Fox Sports 1 would “clear all that up,” in regards to Jones’ cocaine use, and subsequent 24 hour stay in a drug rehabilitation facility.

Fans and Fighter pay and what the MMA media keeps missing
Every time I see some member of the MMA media using Floyd Mayweather to make a point about fighter pay in MMA, and the UFC specifically, I have to laugh at them. They make some comparison to an MMA fighter and how much Mayweather makes to illustrate that boxers make more than MMA fighters.
