“Oh my god. How embarrassing is that?” These were the words that came from the table next to mine after Chael Sonnen’s first cringe-inducing interview of Saturday evening.

After rumors persisted about Chicago native and WWE superstar CM Punk walking down to the Octagon with Chael Sonnen at UFC on FOX 2 this Saturday night, it made me wonder if the UFC and WWE can work together and crossover. When talking to MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani, Chael Sonnen made an interes...
Earlier in the week The Ultimate Fighting Championship publicly supported the SOPA Bill which was probably one of the worst pieces of legislation in the twenty first century.

Top-to-bottom UFC’s first offering on the FX network was exciting with the judges only being needed twice on this ten-bout bill.

Well it’s that time of year again. 2011 will soon be just a memory, so the wistful staff at MMASucka decided to look back longingly at the year that was in MMA and give out our own Sucka Awards to those that were on top of the MMA world this year.
Now that kids around the world have been visited by Santa Claus and have received their presents (the ones on the nice list anyway), it’s time for us as MMA fans to put out our own wish list for what we’d like to see from the sport in 2012.
The end of the year is quickly coming, and that only means one thing. Well, two things, if you count holiday shopping for you rabid MMA fans.
