UFC 120: The Dana White Video Blog Collection
Only two video blogs for UFC 120 so far. Damn time change!
Day 1: Dana flies to Montreal for the GSP/Koscheck presser and then to London.
Day 2: Dana has a funny double take at a moustache and footage of his appearance at Oxford is shown. Some low audio here but decent. Oh, and a helicopter ride or two.

UFC 118 Fight Week: The Dana White Video Blogs
It's UFC 118 Fight Week and with that comes video blogs from UFC President Dana White. These should particularly be good as the Boston boy comes home and gets to experience all that is the first UFC event in Massachusetts.
But before we get to Dana, how's about we look at James Toney had to say in his video blog, shall we?
And here is Dana's first post featuring...

Rubber Guard Radio, August preview on Bleacher Report, Quoted in New Publication
It's been a busy week for yours truly when it comes to MMA media appearances. With a few weeks off between big events, people still want to talk mixed martial arts and that's alllllllllllright with me.

Now on B/R: My Love Letter to WEC
"At the rate of nearly an event every single weekend, it's becoming more and more difficult for an MMA card to actually stand out for a complete night of action, not just one or two good-to-great fights.
Yet, World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) keeps managing to avoid this situation. This past Sunday was no exception as the group went to Canada for the first time with WEC...

UFC 114 Wrap Party: Rampage/Rashad As Expected, Russow Strikes For Big Men, Jason Brilz' Big Night Out
Going into the big main event of UFC 114, there was a little voice in the back of my head alerting me of a potential disappointment. What we saw Saturday wasn't near disappointing, Rampage vs. Rashad was going to be tough to live up to the hype unless it was punctuated by a big KO.
Much like people expected, Evans went to the gameplan we have seen from him recently, one that...

RRC Rewind: A Note To James Toney - MMA Doesn't Need You
Since the big news of the week is about the UFC finally going ahead and signing James Toney to a deal, it seemed appropriate to dredge up this column I did a few weeks ago when the whole situation looked dead.
It's time to jump in the way back machine (all of a few weeks) and look back...enjoy!

RRC launches monthly podcast, kicks it off with E. Spencer Kyte
In late-2009, I really wanted to start a podcast. Who doesn't, right? But I didn't want to do the same fare as everyone else because - for better or worse - it's not like there's a shortage of MMA podcasts right now.
My vision was to launch a monthly podcast featuring an up-and-coming MMA journalist or broadcaster - something that you might be aware of or someone...

UFC 109 Recap, Analysis, What's Next: The Night of Chael Patrick Sonnen
Saturday's UFC 109 event couldn't really be described as 'sexy' but maybe 'gritty' or 'bloody' would be more proper as we saw grizzled veterans go to work and Chael Sonnen drip like a bad faucet on his way to the biggest victory of his career.
UFC 109 also marked what should be the end of the road for Mark Coleman and Frank Trigg, while Mike Swick...

It's an event loaded with familiar names: Couture, Coleman, Marquardt, Swick, Thiago, Serra...

The WEC's Move to PPV: Bold and Ballsy But Not Fully Baked
I love risk-takers. In business today, there's not enough of them. It seems that most that claim to be on the edge are really just taking small little jumps - not crazy and bold Maverick-type moves - because they're intimidated as the prospect of failing.
The Zuffa-owned WEC announced a long-rumored risk of their own Wednesday, booking potential Fight of the Year candidate...

Even though the focus going into Saturday's Strikeforce event was squarely on Herschel Walker's pro debut, it was Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler that came out of the event as the big stars thanks to two impressive first-round victories.
But Walker was a focal point of the evening, dominating Greg Nagy on the way to a 3rd round TKO victory and earning the respect of a lot...

Note To James Toney, Other Boxers: MMA Doesn't Need You
If I told you that a 41-year-old boxer with no professional MMA experience and very little training was offered a deal by the UFC and turned it down, what would you think is more ridiculous: the offer or the rejection?
Both happened recently as the public courting of James Toney took a turn up to the bedroom but the UFC and the partial alphabet soup heavyweight champion didn&...
