DANA WHITE RUMORS & GOSSIP
Unreasonable expectations surround Anderson Silva’s return
It was one of those moments that MMA fans will never forget. In the final days of 2013, Anderson Silva, the former middleweight champ and present day octagon-god, was facing current 185-pound king Chris Weidman in a rematch for the crown after being dethroned by the relative newcomer less than six months earlier.
As the first round gave way to the second and both men began to...

Dana White backs off of Anderson Silva title shot talk
During an interview this week on FOX Sports 1, UFC president Dana White backed off a bit from his earlier statements that Anderson Silva would, like, totally get a title shot if he beat Nick Diaz - a welterweight on a two-fight losing streak - in the main event of UFC 183 this Saturday. White is still pushing the ridiculous notion that "The Spider" is somehow the number one contender...

Anthony Johnson’s light heavyweight title shot raising questions about division’s future
As a former welterweight bust who was discarded as wasted talent by the masses and fighting in the sport’s basement only two years ago, Anthony Johnson had nothing to lose as he entered the octagon to square-off with Alexander Gustafsson for a crack at the light heavyweight crown in Saturday’s main event at UFC on Fox 14 in Stockholm, Sweden.
If Johnson had lost, it would...

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. Like when you matchup the number five fighter against the number ten one, who had went 1-1-1 in his previous...

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...

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. They are then surprised when the fans do not agree with them and then the fans are accused...
