Attention all MMA fighters.... Given the HUGE difference in payouts may I suggest going union? Make the corporate monkeys nut up and have some sort of range for everyone. It makes me sick that Brock Lesnar was able to pocket $250,000 even with hi...

I'm sorry but it just had to be said.

Recap from Tonight's Ultimate Fighter
Matt Hughes is STILL a douche-bag. I'll be elaborating on this later. So, given that Matt Serra is the best-all-time-coach, he has 6 of his fighters in the finals and Matt Hughes only having 2 (because he's the worst-coach-of-all-time). They as...

So, given that Matt Serra is the best-all-time-coach, he has 6 of his fighters in the finals and Matt Hughes only having 2 (because he's the worst-coach-of-all-time).

Jake Shields...
He hasn't lost since the end of 2004 and he's reeled off victories over some of the top mixed martial artists in the world, but Jake Shields somehow remains one of the game's most anonymous stars.

But Shields takes the view that sooner or later, it's going to dawn on...

Tsk Tsk Tsk Adam Smith is a drug user/abuser!
With the two failed tests, Smith is now suspended a total of 21 months and fined a total of $4,000.
According to paperwork filed with the CSAC, Smith earned just $500 for the fight. Ummm I'm guessing the $500.00 he got for the fight even covered the cost of the drugs!
