In the wake of The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale that aired on Saturday night, the UFC’s lightweight division went through a small shuffling of the talent into its different echelons. We saw the addition of a new fighter to the UFC in Mac Danzig, a solid veteran MMA fighter. In addition to Danzig, Clay Guida [...]
Around 4 o’clock last Saturday afternoon I was on the phone arguing with a buddy of mine as to how we were going to spend our evening. We could either hang out in one of our glamorous basements to watch the TUF Finale, or head to the bar which was showing the Mayweather-Hatton fight for [...]
Saturday night’s The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale continued the recent trend of the UFC’s free television content being superior to their Pay-Per-View offerings. The Ultimate Fight Night 11, back in September, offered us a whole slew of impressive bouts from the lesser known (at least amongst the casual, mainstream fans) sections of the UFC’s [...]
The Ultimate Fighter Season 6 has finally come to an end and we now have the finalized fight card for the Ultimate Fighter Finale on Saturday night from the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada. The featured main event is a barn burner. Clay “The Carpenter” Guida will be taking on Roger Huerta in Huerta’s first [...]
Let me preface this by saying that I want to see the rubber match between Matt Hughes and George St. Pierre just as much as the next guy. But to be completely honest, I’d rather see the originally planned Serra vs. Hughes match like we were promised. Why do I want to see it so [...]
On October 20th, Sammy Vasquez entered a cage at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas only to leave by a stoppage that would turn into the first MMA related death in the United States MMA market. At age 35, Vasquez may have been an older fighter in a sport of young, strong guys, but he [...]

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 [...]
