Jon Jones steps into Toronto’s Air Canada Centre Saturday night to defend his UFC Light Heavyweight title at UFC 140 against Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida. Jones is riding a tidal wave of momentum, one that is driving comparisons between Jones and the boxer known simply as “The Greatest”, Muhammad Ali.
Yesterday via Dan Henderson’s twitter account he shared his thoughts regarding the #1 contender status in the middleweight division of the UFC. Michael Bisping who won his main event fight against Jason “Mayhem” Miller last Saturday at the TUF 14 Finale, believed a win would put him in line for a...
Anderson says he wants to get rid of me, and this is his chance. I knew Anderson Silva was a coward. I’m privy to what goes on behind the scenes. I’ve watched him duck and dodge and choose his opponents. He’s as phony as Mike Tyson was. But in a million years, I never thought he would publicly le...
The aura of UFC 139 felt like no other event that I could remember. I wasn’t even watching it live and I could feel that something special was happening in that octagon. Shogun Rua and Dan Henderson put themselves on the line to give us what possibly could be the greatest fight in history. Th...
This story came to us from Paul Lazenby at paullazenby.com. It is a perfect example of what happens in cities all over North America. Unfortunately these types of “promoters” gives combat sports a bad name. I use that word promoter loosely when describing the person who put on this show. If you ...
You will have to excuse me for the lack of submissions to my regular article, but I was a little tied up for a few weeks. More specifically last weekend when it was my wedding. So this is my first article as a married man. I promise I will be back on schedule now, aside from the week of my well n...
Following a dominant performance against Chris Leben at UFC 138, Mark Munoz called out the middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Unfortunately there is one man standing in his way; Chael Sonnen.
Will Chael Sonnen ever get the chance at Anderson Silva’s middleweight championship? It doesn’t really seem to matter in Chael’s mind. The man truly believes that he already is the champion and Silva is just holding his belt…
The preliminary pay-per-view buyrate reports have come in for UFC 136, and they aren’t pretty. Early reports place the number at around 250,000 buys, which continues the trend of lower numbers throughout 2011 and begs the question, has the interest in UFC peaked?
With a sport that has been proven time and time again that anything can happen, the UFC 136 bout card was put together to manufacture a guaranteed win for all fans. If you’re the type that picks and chooses which events to watch at home, this one was a no-brainer to get the most bang out of your...
Okay, it’s time to throw down. No not for real. I’d love another opportunity to train and fight again. I thought the whole experience was eye opening. But alas, that won’t happen. I’m 33 and I like Nachos and beer too much. However I have decided to go back to BJJ at West Coast BJJ/MMA. I highly ...
I promised controversy with my articles, but this one will waver on the side of surprising rather than controversial. For those of you who know my business and what I do for a living you may be surprised by my view on this topic. Don’t think that this is me supporting the Zuffa Sponsorship Fees, ...
Here we go with the aftermath for UFC 135 with fight reactions, and future match-ups for the winners and losers. I hope Joe Silva gets a hold of this site one day and takes some of my advice on what should happen next. He has the best job.
Last night Battlefield Fight League came back to Vancouver to showcase their amateur talent at the historic Vogue Theater on Vancouver’s Granville strip. The promotion brought some interesting fights, new budding talents, and even a little controversy to make some interesting story lines for fut...

When fighters are given the opportunity to fight for a world championship, 99.9 percent of them would do everything above and beyond to maximize the chance they were given. When you say 99.9%, who would the .1% be? That would be Nick Diaz.
