Hector Lombard was undefeated since 2006 heading into the UFC and upon entry has gone 1-2 inside the Octagon. Rick Lee caught up with one of Lombard’s arch nemesis’ Mark Munoz and he feels like the middleweight fighter has been “mediocre at best”. “Since Hector Lombard has been in the UFC, he’s b...
It’s Monday and like Garfield many of you hate Mondays. Nonetheless, there are some issues that need discussing following the UFC on FUEL 8 card and I feel it is my duty to pontificate, speculate, and bloviate on the following topics. So let’s get it on! Round One – Wanderlei Silva The Axe Murder...
The UFC hosted one of the best free cards in recent memory from Japan capped off with an unforgettable main event. For almost ten minutes, Wanderlei Silva put on another classic bout in the Saitama Super Arena, this time with Brian Stann. “The Axe Murderer” silenced his detractors with a smile st...
Welcome to another episode of Monday’s MMA Musings, except you are probably reading this on a Tuesday. That’s just me trying to screw with your head. This post got up later than normal, but that will be our little secret. Today we go three rounds with my profound thoughts on some of the news circ...
“Renan Barao is a monster” are the words bellowed by UFC color commentator Joe Rogan on every promotional piece for the interim 135 pound champion, and at this point that’s a hard point to dispute.
“Are you not entertained?” They were the words hollered from Russell Crowe in Riddley Scott’s Hollywood blockbuster Gladiator to a crowd of cautious onlookers. The box office hit was set in a time when wrestling was a few hundred years old and far from what we witness today. Wrestling has roots i...
So episode 3 starts out showing “Bubba” McDaniel calling out “King” Kevin Casey, and Casey expressing his feelings about being called out despite receiving a cut in the elimination fight. This was interesting for me because I don’t feel one should have a tough guy attitude when it comes to this t...

Frankie Edgar has been in his fair share of controversial decisions. In the main event at UFC 156, Edgar looked to be out-matched against the featherweight champion Jose Aldo after the first two rounds.
UFC Tonight analysts Ariel Helwani, Chael Sonnen and Kenny Florian gave their take on the newly official UFC Fighter Rankings. The analysts had some serious issues with the first set of rankings, what do you think?
Following the first two rounds of last nights UFC 156 main event, I leaned over to a buddy and said, “Jose Aldo will move up to lightweight after this fight.” However my mood changed at the end of round five. Frankie Edgar rallied to win a couple of rounds in one judges eyes and in a ton of fans,...
When the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) made the jump to the FOX platform they put top-five rankings on the screen that was met with mockery from the 140 character jokesters on Twitter. The key reason it was scoffer at among the MMA community is because UFC President Dana White has been one...
So tonight’s episode was pretty awesome! I don’t know if I’m excited because I have lived with the other 13 guys for 6 weeks and I know how everything went down, but this show has been great! The last episode was named “Ambush” and it seemed like an ambush the way things went down. Team […]
The smallest dogs in the fight took centre stage at UFC on FOX 6. Viewed by potentially millions of fresh eyeballs the 125-pound fighters didn’t disappoint as the lightning-fast 25 minute affair displayed why the pocket-sized fighters are every bit as exciting as their larger counterparts. Demetr...
UFC on Fox 6 is now in the books and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who didn’t think the event delivered on all counts. Both TJ Grant and Ryan Bader shone on the undercard; Ricardo Lamas and Anthony Pettis made their case for title shots in their respective weight classes, and the Demetrio...
When the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) linked arms with media conglomerate FOX I daydreamed of the possibilities. This sport that I watched grow from an ugly, violent duckling had transformed into a beautiful swan that would be featured as a major sport alongside National Football League (...
