How Roger Huerta Saved My Saturday Night

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 [...]

The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale – A Vegan Submits a Farmer, and Other Thoughts.

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 [...]

Serra versus Hughes: Am I the only one?

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 [...]

UFC 82: Gurgel Sells Tickets, Still Has Much To Prove as a Fighter

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 [...]

UFC 78 Main Card Predictions

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 [...]

EliteXC Renegade: Mildly Disappointing

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 [...]
