UFC 121: If Lesnar is Human, Velasquez is Not Unbeatable…
Before last Saturday, the sentiment from every single UFC fan seemed to be in agreement. Hell, we wrote it on this website time in and time out. It was going to take a breed of heavyweight that didn’t currently exist to beat Brock Lesnar.We looked down the list of contenders and found flaws with them all. First, we thought Frank Mir would end Lesnar’s reign of terror...

Gettin’ Paid: UFC 118 Salaries
Apparently a thirty second fight can net you 500,000, even if you lose terribly.James Toney made half a million at UFC 118 and was by far the top earner. Compare that to the 96,000 that was hauled in by lightweight champ Frankie Edgar, and you can’t help but be a little sad for the fact that the freakshow made more than the champ.Here is the full list from Sherdog.com:Main...

UFC 118: Randy Couture’s Affliction Walkout Shirt
Raise your hand if you didn’t see that one coming.If you think about it, Randy is actually a genius. He took a fight that he knew he could win. However, unlike most fights he knew he could win this one wasn’t seen as a joke or a mismatch. Well, it was, but instead of being a joke, it was seen as a display of MMA’s superiority over boxing. Well, at least it’...

Shocking News: Boston Globe Completely Misses The Point of MMA!
Sarcasm intended. I’ve spent the last couple of days reading the quotes from the The Boston Globe’s coverage of UFC 118, and as usual, I find myself saddened, horrified, and pretty much at the end of my rope with “the mainstream media.”Let’s start with one of the most famous sports writers in the country, Bob Ryan. Bob has appeared on many an episode...

UFC 118: Frankie Edgar’s Affliction Walkout Shirt
That’s twice.That’s twice that everyone counted out Frankie Edgar against B.J. Penn, the consensus best lightweight in the history of the sport. That’s twice that everyone wrote off the Jersey native because he was too small, and didn’t have the tools to beat the most naturally talented fighter in the UFC.That’s twice that Frank Edgar has tooled the...

Hey Friends,
It’s been awhile. I hope everyone is doing well.
You might be asking where the hell we’ve been as a collective whole since our last post. It’s kind of a complicated story.
Every day for over three years, the first thing I did when I woke up and the last thing that I did before I went to bed was make sure that this website was updated and working correctly...

Dana White Vs. The Media…Part 4,000
Nothing gets my blood boiling like a good Dana White Twitter bashing of the MMA media. We all know Dana is anti any MMA media that’s objective. Cover the UFC? Sure! Just don’t give us any bad press. Of course there are a million of well known MMA websites, two of the big dogs Sherdog.com and BloodyElbow.com constantly find themselves under fire from Dana White...

Morning Matchmaking: Baroni Tries To Save His Career Against Salter at UFC 118
Phil “The New York Badass” Baroni has undergone a lot of change since his fight with Amir Sadollah. I remember an article or tweet by Ariel Helwani which stated that he saw Baroni sitting in the crowd after a UFC event staring into space, wondering what was left for him in this business. Since then, he went to Thailand in an attempt to improve his striking and reinvent...

Evans Machida-Like Style Makes Him Underdog To Shogun…
I know, I know. You are probably looking at this because you think I’m a crazy person, but hear me out.
When I looked at the Evans-Rampage fight again, I noticed something that Rampage did throughout the fight that made me worry. Whenever Evans would strike, he would do exactly what Machida did to him. He would jump in, flurry quickly and jump back out. His movement was the...
