By Leland Roling What many fans seem to forget is just how amazing Fedor Emelianenko is as a fighter. He's one of the first fighters in history to be equally great at nearly all aspects of mixed martial arts. He can grapple both offensively and defensively with some of the best jiu-jitsu fighters in the world w...

By Leland Roling Lightweight bout: Ousmane Thomas Diagne (1-0) vs. Merritt Warren (2-3): Diagne will look to bring his Sanshou style of fighting into the cage against a submission fighter in Warren. Diagne is a student under Cung Le, another Sanshou style fighter who made the transition to MMA. Pick your...

By James Ryan Here’s what I remember from Ortiz vs Shamrock 3 in 2006.  A much older, punch-drunk Shamrock lost with enormous class.  A younger Tito won without any.  Tito Ortiz, in my less than humble opinion, is a pathetic loser who has embroiled himself in a win-win situation by calling out Chuck Liddel...

By pstrum@poughkeepsiejournal.com (Phil Strum) WWE, though, at times, can repeat ITself, is often cliched and officially, has no idea what its audience, "the WWE universe," actually wants. Did I forget anything else? Oh yeah, the inside jokes about getting screamed at in your headset. That was probably a shot at Mick Foley and Taz.

By pstrum@poughkeepsiejournal.com (Phil Strum) Vintage WWE. • The main event being won by Chris Jericho was pretty nuts when you consider that Ozzy pretended not to know who he was and DX treated him like a non-entity. Jericho should probably get a world title run again soon. Tonight's ECW

By Tim Wow! Machida vs. Rua UFC 104 had the best judges in the history of MMA.  Oh, wait! Maybe the judging was the worst.  Or was it more of the same?  I guess that is a matter of opinion.  Then again, so is the judge’s decision isn’t it?  Some of the analysis and some of the breakdowns have been very insigh...

By Steve Cofield When both fighters are engaged in a striking match what I always look for is the fighter who is being judicious, picking his spots, being accurate and landing the cleaner strikes which ultimately is what Lyoto did more effectively than Rua. Lyoto made Shogun come after him, he determined w...

By Steve Cofield Schafer is always a dangerous guy to face if you don't have a complete game. Bader, a wrestler by trade who won TUF 8, who is still trying to add striking and submissions to his game. Schafer has already pulled upsets on one-dimensional fighters Houston Alexander and  Antonio Mendes. The gu...

By Todd Jackson See, this isn't your run of the mill, flashy casino style event.  This was MMA at its purist.  Master Shane Dunagan would not have it any other way.  He prides himself on the exciting fights he puts on.  These fights are a direct result of his hard work to pair up fighters that are equal in talent an...

2) Hulk Hogan Sting Macho Man Randy Savage Lex Luger (w/Jimmy Hart in their corner) defeated Kamala Meng The Shark The Zodiac (w/The Taskmaster in their corner) in a War Games Cage Match (‘WCW Fall Brawl 1995’ pay-per-view event – Asheville, North Carolina: 17/09/95).

Best match-Cena vs Orton 4) Jericho and Big Show over Batista and Mysterio. (3 and a half stars). Since the switch to kiddie-fare, ratings are now on a sliding scale, as much less is expected. This was a hoot, and despite the limitations of Show and Batista, well worked by all.

It was billed as the biggest fight in the history of The Ultimate Fighter and one fighter was less than impressive. And that fighter was Roy “Big Country” Nelson. As predicted, Roy Nelson took out Kimbo Slice. But it was not all that impressive. He was fighting a guy that has next-to-no MMA train...

By Mitch Ciccarelli When YouTube street-fighting sensation Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson burst onto the MMA scene in late 2007 he brought with him a ton of hype and attention from mainstream media. Elite XC promoter Gary Shaw hand-fed the bare-knuckle brawler lower tier opponents such as Bo Cantrell and out...

By Mitch Ciccarelli So it came to everyone’s surprise when it was announced that Slice would be earning an opportunity to enter the UFC—the premier MMA organization in the world—by competing on an all-heavyweight season of the hit reality series The Ultimate Fighter.

By Brent Brookhouse Luke Thomas: According to our rankings with USA Today, Nelson is ranked 20th in the world among professional heavyweights. Nelson's talents? He's strong, mostly durable, by Kimbo's standards a phenomenal grappler and has meaningful experience. And Kimbo Slice? He punches really hard....

By maverickguy After UFC Ultimate Fighter Wes Shivers lost in a decision to James McSweeney on Spike Tv, I’m beginning to wonder if MMA is going lose credibilty in some of its decisions.
