Opinion: Missed opportunities for Strikeforce on CBS

09 Nov 2009 13:21:16 PST

Written by Zach Arnold
“We talk to everybody. We’re never going to say no, we like MMA and you know like I said, Strikeforce put on a great show for us tonight and we’re very happy with Strikeforce but we’re not going to close the door on anybody.” The result? Not many “real” MMA fans watched the show.

The State of MMA November 9th 2009

09 Nov 2009 10:34:35 PST

Written by ohitsbigron
On another note I hate watching Strikeforce broadcast fights. The color commentary is atrocious the play-by-play is suspect and the keys to the cage are redundant. I’m not saying Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg are perfect, but I’ll choose them any day over the clowns that broadcast Strikefor...

UFC 110: Stephan Bonnar vs Krzysztof Soszynski in the works for Feb. 21

09 Nov 2009 08:54:05 PST

Written by Jesse Holland
While Bonnar’s contributions to the sport before, during and after his run on The Ultimate Fighter will probably keep him from being unemployed anytime soon, dropping three straight could be a major blow to his marketability as a fighter.

Looking Back On, And Ahead To, Survivor Series

09 Nov 2009 08:18:47 PST

Written by shmoo7275
Since then, the elimination chamber has been moved to No Way Out and the traditional matches have been reinstated, with between one and three of them taking place at every Survivor Series since 2003. This year, it will be interesting to see if the concept is maintained. As yet, only three matches have been confirmed for the show that will take place on the 22nd of November. John Cena will defend his WWE Championship against Triple H and Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat match, while The Undertaker defends his World Heavyweight Championship against Chris Jericho and The Big Show in another Triple Threat. The hook here is that both champions are defending their titles against teams in matches that are supposedly every man for himself. The other...

Opinion: Creature vs Creature: Pathetic Tito Begs the Iceman for a Third Beatdown

06 Nov 2009 07:00:14 PST

Written 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...

Opinion: The Long-Term Kimbo Game

02 Nov 2009 21:09:32 PST

Written by TLow
The more I think about it, the more I can’t see the long term logic in the UFC’s pursuing Kimbo Slice. The short-term benefit is pretty obvious. This season of TUF has enjoyed some great ratings. That means Spike can command a higher price for advertising slots, and it gives Dana White a large a...
