How many sports in Australia can you say people are playing, where if you're good enough, you can earn millions and millions of dollars? This is the most viable sports franchise on the planet. I'll give you an example, Lyoto Machida is the [UFC light-heavyweight] champion, he is 16-0. In boxing, if you're 16-0 you're still fighting bums. At 16-0, Machida is the champion and earning a...

 "I've got a laundry list of stuff to be thankful for.
 • I'm thankful, first and foremost, for my family and friends. My good friends -- and yes, I do have some of them -- the real ones who are there through it all, even when stuff goes bad.
 • I'm obviously very, very thankful for the UFC and for guys like Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes, Forrest Griffin, guys who have been real partne...

I've said it a million times: He's the father of mixed martial arts. He was so far ahead of his time. • I'm thankful for Pinkberry. I love Pinkberry! I'm l...

It's tiring. It's terrible. These athletic commissions need to start looking at this and figure out what they're going to do. It has nothing to do with me. You should see the emails I get, 'You scumbag, you're just like Don King.' That's what people think. People think that we p...

The adrenaline was so high and I’m very happy. I trained hard and that debut was against a very tough guy. Cane is a warrior. Dana told me ‘Do you have the idea who you just defeated? The man we were about to match as the next contender for the belt.’ Dana enjoyed the fight so much, but to be honest, one of the things that made me happier was to see my brother proud. Sometimes, in middle of the confusion of interviews, the crowd celebra...

Many fans and media members are looking for answers on how to fix what they think is a problem, inconsistent judging in mixed martial arts. That's if there is a problem. Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz engaged in a back and forth fight for two rounds before Griffin rolled in the third at UFC 106. The decision (30-27, 29-28 and 28-29) went to Griffin. Frankly it wouldn't have been outrageous had it gone to Ortiz. When fighters don't try to ...

It's interesting to see the fighters standing in line to enter the Mandalay Bay weigh-in area. Josh Koscheck is standing with no Anthony Johnson present (3:40 mark). When asked where he is, Koscheck says he heard Johnson passed out trying to make the weight. When you finally see Johnson (4:45 mark), he does confirm that he had some issues and says he was "dehydrated." If he did struggle, it&#39...

 UFC President Dana White, a Boston native, had always expressed his wishes to do an event in his home state, but could not accomplish the task due to state laws.  But now that the laws are changing, White is intent on making Boston a UFC venue in the summer of 2010.

He even matched his mouth with his money by giving both the Fight of the Night and Submission of the Night bonuses to Koscheck. That's a hefty $140,000 double-bonus check on top of his fight night salary of $106,000 ($53,000 to show and $53,000 to win). Koscheck likes the money but a title shot would be even nicer. That's a bonus White isn't willing to pony up. White con...

In talking with co-workers today about the fight, they were amazed with how Brown got run over and the immediate follow up was, "I can't wait to see Aldo fight Faber." If WEC ever pulls the trigger with a PPV, that's your headlining fight.

From everything I've read, the usual course of treatment is "colon rest". The patient eats a low-fiber diet to reduce their bowel movements and give their colon a chance to recover. Lesnar's case might be more severe and require surgery, as Dana White indicated to TMZ. Either way, this is the type of thing that will wrea...

According to White, Lesnar, who is also suffering from mono, has been hospitalized since collapsing during a trip to Canada last week. He will reportedly be transferred to the Mayo Clinic, where he'd undergo surgery for a "intestinal disorder".
