Bjorn Rebney’s exit from Bellator stunned many regular fans. The company had just come off their first pay-per-view event. According to Spike president Kevin Kay, it generated a 100,000 pay-per-view buy rate. That was deemed as an astounding surprise, considering all the negativity that surrounde...

The people of Vancouver complain that they haven’t had the UFC in over two years and then when one does get announced and the main event is a title fight, they still complain — what gives? This is the same city that booed Roberto Luongo out of town and that is currently chasing Ryan Kesler […]
What a night of fights at UFC 173 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main event pushed one Team Alpha Male fighter to champion status, as T.J.

It was announced on Sunday night that Chad Mendes would receive a rematch against Jose Aldo for the featherweight title at UFC 176. The announcement didn’t come as much of a surprise. Mendes has won five fights in a row in dominant fashion proving that he’s more than ready to challenge for the ti...
There are so many prominent names in the heavyweight division. Despite the severe lack of depth of quality fighters, there are still plenty of well-known fighters that will make casual fans watch. You still have the likes of Roy Nelson, Alistair Overeem, Josh Barnett, and Frank Mir amongst others...
UFC Fight Night 39 went down on Friday at the Du Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and provided some great action, with 4 decisions, 3 finishes, and 1 no contest due to an accidental headbutt. Roy Nelson improved his stature in the heavyweight division as he plodded along, spammed away with his favored ov...
Whenever a fighter is coming off two losses that were both one-sided decisions, there is always a cause for concern. Then you have to reiterate about the fighter’s future if he is 35 years old or older. Neither of those issues applies to Roy Nelson in a narrow heavyweight division. There are divi...
After a controversial fight, Facebook and Twitter both erupt with fans giving their opinions.

We give you the fan an opportunit...
They say, “April beatings will bring May bleedings.” Or something like that, anyways, but I digress. If you wish to avoid looking the part of the fool, then I suggest you keep your eye out for these five fights to watch this April. Listed in no particular order, of course. 1) Ramsey Nijem vs. Ben...
I am starting a movement. UFC 174 will be coming to Vancouver on June 14, 2014. I fully expect to see the likes of Rory MacDonald and a few other Canadians on the card. One warrior that should be involved is “Ragin” Kajan Johnson (19-10-1) who has been a big part of the latest Ultimate […]

After three months in limbo the UFC’s welterweight division has a new champion. However, it could well be argued that the division is in more turmoil than ever. Instead of trying to rank the contenders, which has generated significant controversy in the days following UFC 171, it is perhaps easie...
The American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas played host to UFC 171 over the weekend, where a stellar five bout line-up on the main card had fans on the edge of their seats, and longing for more action. Headlining the event was a much anticipated Welterweight title affair that for the very first...
It’s hard to criticize a fighter with only two losses on his resume (only one loss in rational people’s eyes, but I digress). There were still areas that needed Johny Hendricks needed to improve on, similar to all fighters today. I’ve always brought up his cardio issues in how he slows down in la...
