Israel Adesanya, the last Stylebender, has burst on to the MMA scene. He’s risen to the top of the middleweight division in a one and a half year span.

As we know, crossover fights, inter-weight class fights and fights including retired fighters are not a thing at the highest level of MMA.

KSW is, by far, my favorite MMA organization. The pageantry, the world class talent, the amazing matchups. KSW has everything you could ask for in a dream organization.

The historic UFC 205 from New York City is my favourite MMA event to date. The first-ever UFC event to be held in the state of New York, the event was historic for more than one reason. Headlined by the biggest star the sport has ever seen, it featured 3 title fights and a host of huge names. We […]
“California Love” hits the speakers and goosebumps send chills up my arms and spine. This dates back to the very first time I watched Urijah Faber fight back in 2006.

The Ultimate Fighter has certainly lost its magic in recent years. With the introduction of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series and Dana White Lookin’ for a Fight, TUF is no longer the best UFC show out there. The format has become stagnant, with a very ‘same old, same old’ feeling. One t...
We are all stuck inside and with that, we have plenty of time to sit in front of the TV. This means we can binge watch our favorite show. For me, I saw ‘Tiger King’ on Netflix and was instantly enthralled. Well, it seems that the MMA world is as well. I have asked our […]
In some weight classes, fighters have gone on incredible title defense streaks over the course of years. In regards to UFC heavyweights, that kind of streak is a rare thing to see. Heavyweights are constantly stacked against opponents with vicious knockout power and their career, and indeed their...
