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 […]

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.
