This site has been covering the CSAC and the appeal process of Sean Sherk for quite some time. In fact, some of the bigger analytical articles we have produced involved the CSAC, Sean Sherk’s defense, Nandrolone as a steroid in MMA, and the entire process as a whole. In particular, the research that we’ve done [...]

Over the weekend I noticed that Jorge Gurgel (11-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) was announced to be taking on John Halverson (16-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC 82 in Columbus, Ohio. Next on the plate for mixed martial arts fans was more rambling about how much Jorge Gurgel’s performance against Alvin Robinson proved that he does [...]

Rashad Evans vs. Michael Bisping

The main event for UFC 78 features two unbeaten fighters but, while that sounds good on paper, they’re both coming off less than impressive performances in their most recent fights. Bisping (14-0, 4-0 UFC) won a razor thin decision against Matt Hamill at UFC 75, a fight in which the [...]

The EliteXC Renegade card has been hyped for some time now, riding high on the Kimbo Slice advertising wave all the way up to Saturday nights big show. Unfortunately, the big show left a lot to be desired. This is largely due to the Kimbo Slice-Bo Cantrell match which lasted a grand total of [...]

With a lackluster start to the week in the mixed martial arts world of news, I decided to check out the situation that had occurred in Florida involving Din Thomas. I had read about the arrest warrant being published on the Internet and decided to write this piece revolving around the arrest and the possibilities [...]

On October 31st, the mixed martial arts community awaited the verdict in Sean Sherk’s case involving his positive nandrolone test after his championship title fight with Hermes Franca. Instead of a resolution to the deadlocked title picture in the UFC’s lightweight division, the California State Athletic Commission managed to keep the top-tier of the division [...]

The California State Athletic Commission once again proved that there needs to be changes within its walls. In the latest meeting that took place on Wednesday afternoon, Sean Sherk’s decision was postponed due to a paperwork error at the CSAC that apparently kept important documents from reaching the commission’s hands in time for the hearing. [...]

Andrei Arlovski was minutes away from winning his second consecutive bout after dropping two tough losses to Tim “The Maniac” Sylvia. Although a boring performance, Arlovski was able to pull out a win over the Brazilian ju-jitsu specialist Fabricio Werdum. The coming months would be cast with doubt as to when Arlovski would fight next. [...]

In a preview article I wrote ahead of UFC 77 I forecasted that Silva v Franklin II would be nothing like the original meeting of these Middleweights way back at UFC 64. Well, I was half-right. It took Anderson Silva twice as long to dismantle his opponent as it did [...]

Dave Doyle of Fox Sports is pondering a question which raises some very significant concerns fans have had since this past weekends UFC 71 event: Do short main events hurt the UFC in particular and MMA at large?
Here is a list of all the PPV main events from the start of 2006 and how long [...]

Sherdog.com has a piece up called “Nine Who Need to Hang Up the Gloves” which, as its name implies, is a rundown of 9 fighters (plus one bonus) who should give up MMA. I don’t necessarily agree with all of the picks but think they’re worth reporting. In random order:

“Tank” Abbott
Dan Severn
Elvis Sinosic
Mark Coleman
Kevin Randleman
