Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Tarec Saffiedine Talks UFC Debut
Tarec Saffiedine was last seen blasting the legs of Nate Marquardt into ground beef, but with all the success that the Strikeforce guys are having in the UFC, I really look forward to him making his UFC debut. Too bad they didn’t serve him up a UFC veteran, instead they will face him off with former UFC and Strikeforce fighter Robbie Lawler, who is coming off a big KO of Josh...

Jake Ellenberger Post Fight Interview
Jake Ellenberger looked great in his fight against Nate Marquardt earning the first round KO. Jake is now 8-2 in his UFC career and like he tells Ariel Helwani should be one fight away from a title fight. A fight with either Rory MacDonald or Tarec Saffiedine would make sense. Either way Jake shows improvement in every one of his fights and look for him to stay in the gym and...

GSP vs. Diaz Media Madness!
I really hate using exclamation points in titles. As a matter of fact, I don't think I ever have. Until now.

This is a very intriguing match up though it is surprising that Nate was the welterweight who got the fight. Not that Nate isn’t a top contender but he is coming of a loss and usually the UFC likes to match fighters up who had the same outcome in their last fight. Marquardt lost his Strikeforce title in a decision to Tarec Saffiedine in the final Strikeforce event. Marquartd’s...
GSP Says Weidman Will Not Only Beat Silva, But Finish Him
Welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre talks about Chris Weidman and his chances against middle weight champ Anderson Silva.
