Editorials, hot takes, and in-depth analysis from voices that follow every punch in the sport.
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.
We don’t know the facts so to judge someone like Nick Diaz right off the hop, like so many have done, is wrong. As of right now the UFC is not saying much. All we know as fans is that Nick Diaz no showed two large press conferences to promote his fight with GSP at UFC 137 on October 29th. The rea...
I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I’m going to toot it because, I’m “bleeping” excited and apparently psychic too. A while back I responded to the whole Alistair Overeem being released from Strikeforce news as a precursor to Overeem signing a big deal with the UFC and that his first opponent ...
Ed Garcia of Fatlip Radio had the opportunity to chat with UFC Premier Tom Wright this morning. He was expecting to chat with Nick Diaz, so his questions about triathlons did not really work out.
Anderson Silva was all smiles Saturday night, having dispatched Yushin Okami in highlight-reel fashion, having retained his UFC middleweight title, and having extended his records for consecutive victories and title defences in the promotion. As MMASucka columnist Trevor Dueck said, he may very w...
When the name Josh Barnett comes up, people think of the fact that he is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, he tested positive for PED’s three times and in some people’s opinion caused Affliction to fold after he tested positive for the third time. Which in turn caused his bout with Fedor Emelian...
Anderson Silva on Saturday further established his claim as pound for pound the best fighter in the world today quite arguably the best ever with his win over Yushin Okami at UFC 134. It was Silva’s 15th overall and 14th in the UFC. When a guy is that dominant in his weight class and disposing of...
Have you ever spoken to people who watched Muhammad Ali and they go on and on about how great of a boxer he was. When it comes to the sport of MMA maybe one day we will be talking about Anderson Silva in the same vein.
Chael Sonnen was very close to defeating Anderson Silva last August at UFC 117, but got caught in a late 5th round triangle choke.
Chael Sonnen has said some crazy things, I mean there is an online quote generator with a bunch of his quotes. This time around he states that if he beats his upcoming opponent Brian Stann at UFC 136, he would like to give up a title shot in order to take on Anderson Silva.
Who would like to see a unification bout between the Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, Dan Henderson and UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Jon Jones (Well that’s if Jones beats Rampage)? Dan Henderson would and he spoke about that with MMAWeekly Radio this past Wednesday.
What do Chris Camozzi and Gerald Harris have in common? They each got cut following there first UFC loss. Camozzi got cut after losing at UFC 127 to Kyle Noke and Harris got released following his loss to Maiquel Falcao at UFC 123.
Recently, Yahoo.ca‘s Andrew McKay took to his platform to argue against the UFC returning to Toronto just eight months after their debut in the city which drew a record 55,000 to the SkyDome (I will NOT call it the Rogers Centre). You can read the article yourself here.
It was tough watching Fedor Emelianenko lose again. Even seeing him go down face first limp after a vicious uppercut landed on his chin delivered by Dan Henderson, I was still saying, “don’t worry. He’s fine. It’s just going to be like the fight against Fujita in 2003. He’ll recover…”
Okay I’m not smoking from a bong. Maybe sometimes I’m considered a conspiracy theorist; like 9-11 being an inside job and that we are headed towards a One-World Government. That is all true. Look it up. Don’t believe what you see on TV because the corporations control the news. Oh and there is a...
Fedor. There was a time when the name alone sent shivers down the spine of the sport’s toughest heavyweights. The man who took the mantle of the greatest heavyweight in the sport from Minotauro Nogueira and went 28 fights without a loss. The man with the thousand yard stare who seemed to have ice...
