It was less than one month ago that UFC President Dana White made it clear that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Gilbert Melendez would square off in the co-main event at UFC 170 in February. The news was announced at the UFC 168 post-fight press conference, however just days later White told FOX Sports t...
An open letter to Dominick Cruz Hey Dominick, I know you’re going through a rough time. To be perfectly frank — The run of luck you’ve had as of late stinks. The series of injuries you’ve had to deal with is enough to drive the average man insane. An average man would go bonkers after […]
While some members of the website have chosen their award winners for 2013, I’m going to rank some of the top moments from the past year. Knockouts are considered to be the most exciting moment for most fans and analysts. It can occur in a blink of an eye that could very well catch you […]

The heavyweight division needs a young star to step up. That’s the phrase I’ve been hearing and reading about over the past year or so. Many people have been complaining that the division doesn’t have depth and it features the same fighters at the top. Unlike the other divisions in the UFC, the h...
How many times have we seen a fighter be cranky, angry, or just plain disrespectful? How many times have we cheered them for it? If it’s someone like the Diaz brothers, a large number of fans tend to applaud them for it. Some even celebrate it. However, the tables seem to turn if it’s a […]
I know I said I would talk to you again after Chris and Andy play on the 28th, but some sh*t came up. The New Guy – Christmas Wish Lists I got a call from a jolly fat man last week and he had some interesting questions for me. It wasn’t until my 3rd attempt […]
I’m the New Guy on MMA. A lot of the ‘Old Guys’ on the MMA Beat are too afraid to lose their media credentials to give you much in the way of real opinion. Instead they are forced to stick to the status quo of factual regurgitation, giving you the ‘proper’ opinion. Yuck. I’m done […]

There is always something you learn every day in the world, regardless of what it is. I’m always trying to learn from different analysts or current fighters about every aspect of MMA or the fight business in general. That is my mindset, when I watch UFC tonight or listen to Joe Rogan or Kenny Flo...
One major topic amongst MMA fans is Bellator releasing welterweight champion Ben Askren. It wasn’t a surprise to anyone, after Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney has made comments in the past about Askren being one-dimensional and his lack of exciting fights . He made it known that Bellator wasn’t going t...
Just like most MMA fans and analysts, I was absolutely livid from the judges’ decision on Saturday in regard to the main event. It was nice to see most people agreeing that Johny Hendricks clearly won and put on a tremendous performance. He walked into the octagon confident and pretty much contro...
