By Kid Nate Brock is a very smart fighter," Nelson said. "Since his first fight, he went in there and that was more just pure get-in-there, raw aggression, try to run them over like a truck. You could see from that fight to Heath Herring to then with Randy Couture, you see a steady growth in his striking dev...

By SSreporters Rashad Evans got his ass brutally kicked and got KTFO'd by Lyoto Machida in UFC 98, relinquishing his light-heavyweight belt to the Brazilian. It was his first loss in his pro-MMA career and it is definitely a KO of the Year candidate. UFC 98 would've been Rashad/Rampage, but the latter suff...

By Kid Nate This one was a fun one, well worth a viewing. Severn was the first modern MMA fighter to come out of a collegiate/Olympic wrestling background. His run at UFC 4 ended with an epic loss to Royce Gracie (in a match that's on my top 65 list for sure). Royce showed everyone what a triangle choke was -- a...

By Adam Wagner It was a solid interview that includes Henderson’s criticism of the 10-point must system (he favors Pride FC’s judging system), why he thinks Matt Hamill really beat Bisping, and why Wanderlei Silva would have beat Franklin under Pride FC rules. He also gave his thoughts on UFC 100 and the...

By Kid Nate If you'll forgive me for getting all meta, there are a couple of interesting pieces today about the way rumors fly about the Internet. In both cases, misinformation was spread about fighters, in one case by a traditional newspaper and in the other by a fairly obscure web site. In both cases, i...

By tmatte Of course there are biases with any rivalry between companies, but this seems to be less logical.  Pretty much every MMA company has nearly the same exact rules, each with their own superb roster of fighters.  I can't help but feel like we're a bunch of 11 year olds bickering about whether WWF...

By Thomas Hackett A couple of weekends ago, I had a ton of fun at a “Modified MMA” tournament hosted by the good people of Warrior-One, an MMA retailer and training center just north of Seattle. The event offered an opportunity for a hopeful fighter to begin to bridge the gap between jiu-jitsu matches and MMA,...

By Paul Delos Santos Paul Delos Santos, you are crazy. Lyoto Machida is nowhere near Tiger Woods' stature." Now, Tiger and Machida have things in common, but if Machida wants to be considered MMA's Tiger Woods, he will need to dominate the light-heavyweight division.

By Thomas Hackett In a recent interview with Fight Magazine, Lyoto Machida was asked what was in his refrigerator. The Brazilian MMA phenom known as “The Dragon” (or, as I prefer to call him, “The Next Light Heavyweight Champion of the World”) didn’t surprise me when he included açaí (pronounced a-sigh-ee...

Lyoto Machida and his family, which includes his father who is a Shotokan master from Japan, have adapated the martial art to form Machida Martial Arts Karate. His unorthodox approach to the MMA game has made Machida one very difficult fighter for opponents to get a handle on. That on top of a...

By Frank Sanchez I have a feeling Lyoto Machida is getting lost in the Light Heavyweight Division. Yes, he's undefeated, coming off his biggest win to date stopping formerly undefeated and fellow Brazilian Thiago Silvain the first round of their fight at UFC 94. However, I fail to see why Lyoto Machida will...

By Steve Cofield The Kimbo knockout loss to a guy like Seth Petruzelli, who is probably in the No. 30-40 range worldwide at light heavyweight, should have been a warning to boxers, instead it's motivation for a guy like Rahman. Bizarre. Next we're going to hear about 65-year-old Jimmy Snuka being ready fo...

By Jessy Morris Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida has dominated the Light-Heavyweight scene and has become a top contender for the Light-Heavyweight title. Machida and Silva are really good friends and will never fight each other. With that said, now that Machida is after the gold at 205, it makes no sense for An...

By Luke Thomas First, no one is equating this with StandGate (at least I am not). The point about Kimbo is not his last fight's unethical nature, but the promotion as a "street fighter" he received irrespective of his late ignoble stand. It's about what sort of message his presence and stature as a street br...
