MMA: Mixed martial arts

By Josh Sanchez Brock's longtime friend and Jiu-Jitsu coach, Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros, said that Lesnar is "is getting better and that is the most important thing ... He will be fine and be fighting again within six months. I can just say that the heavyweights can stop laughing and get ready to start cryin...

By Brad 4. Lyoto Machida: He could possible pull the Royce Gracie and take it all.  Dangerous and elusive. Plus, we recently discovered he has striking power. 13. Rich Franklin: Former champ has good striking and submission skills. 4. Tito Ortiz: Puts butts in the seats.  A ground and pound specialist. 

By Nick Thomas Rumored card so far: Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort [in jeopardy] Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman Matt Hughes vs. TBA Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller Renzo Gracie vs. TBA Rob Emerson vs. Phillipe Nover Rolles Gracie vs. Mostapha Al Turk Melvin Guillard vs. Ronnys Torres

By Kris Karkoski Walker (0-0), a 47-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner who signed with Strikeforce in September, is a sixth-degree black belt in tae kwon do who has been training with American Kickboxing Academy in preparation for his MMA debut against an opponent to-be-announced.

By Bryan Levick Also under consideration would be Rich Franklin. He would need a solid win as an actual light heavyweight rather than fighting at catchweight bouts. The UFC could market a Franklin-Machida matchup, the two have met before back on New Year's Eve in 2003.

Brazillians have had trouble drawing in North America at the level of other elite MMA fighters. Lyoto Machida’s first title defense drawing just 475,000 buys – the lowest figure for a light heavyweight championship match since Randy Couture vs. Chuck Liddell III in February, 2006 – was th...

By Tom Ngo MMA needs to re-define the word “unanimous” as another UFC main event has ended with a “controversial” unanimous decision. At UFC 105 on Saturday night, it appeared as though Brandon Vera had done enough to defeat Octagon Hall of Famer Randy Couture, however all three judges once again sa...

By Sterling Spiars Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz: Tito Ortiz One thing that is often said about Forrest Griffin, is that he has a tremendous heart. He has squared off against some of the best light-heavyweight fighters in the world, without any doubt, and without any hesitation.

November has been a great month for MMA. We'll have had a Strikeforce fight, (2) UFC events and a great WEC card. You won't have to wait until Saturday for some good MMA action. The WEC is putting on a...

By Jesse Motiff Adding smaller heavyweight fighters to a division with the heavier light-heavyweight fighters would be an interesting twist to the sport. It would spark great debate and interest among fans, as well as give a whole new group of fighters a chance for greatness.

By Press Release On making the switch from wrestling to mixed martial arts: “I met one of my favorite wrestlers at a hotel when I was wrestling in the state championships. I can’t say who it was, but I asked him for an autograph, and he was kind of rude to me. Then I saw him signing another kid’s autograph as he was l...

By Maggie Hendricks Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is on pace to have a banner season, much like he did in 2007, but he already has his eye on the offseason. He spent today asking, nay, begging, Dana White over Twitter to sign him to the UFC for a fight with middleweight champion and pound-for-p...

By Josh Nason The best case scenario for Strikeforce: This is a fun slugfest that goes three rounds with a decisive winner by KO. Worst case: Fedor wins relatively easily and doesn't get over. Middleweight Title: Jake Shields vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller

By Todd Jackson That is a very bold statement considering the story history tells.  This is not the first time an MMA event was held live on CBS.  EliteXC tried their hand in impressing the sport upon casual viewers and sadly they failed handily.  Strikeforce has something they didn't have and that is Fedor. ...

By Euan Taylor Just because we love you, here is some bonus audio from the recent conference calls hyping up the STRIKEFORCE/M1 Fedor vs. Rogers show. We have yesterday’s fighters call with Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers and the announcers conference call from last week which included:

By Tom Ngo If Emelianenko can keep his aura of invincibility rolling by the time White anticipates his “local-show” rivals going under, Fedor will have no choice but to FINALLY sign with the UFC and take on mixed martial arts’ most physically polarizing figure in UFC champ Brock Lesnar.

By Greg Riot The Lyoto Machida vs. Shogun Rua light heavyweight title fight at UFC 104 is excellent proof of the evolution of the sport and should be used as a shining example of a fight to show people who don’t think MMA fighters are highly skilled athletes.

By Eric Samulski I can't see any one of these guys standing a chance against fighters like Brock Lesnar, Frank Mir, Cain Velasquez, Shane Carwin, and Cheick Kongo. Heck, I couldn't even see half of them hanging in there with Antoni Hardonk. If Dana White has any hope of justifying his decision, the quality of...

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...

By Tom Grant The 10th season of The Ultimate Fighter has pitted two bitter rivals against each other as coaches, Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans. Couture's adaptive style flew in the face of the prevalent wisdom of the time; be excellent at one thing and impose your will. Fighters like Tito Ortiz, Chuc...

By Joseph Lupoli And so the match comes to pass.  After Brock Lesnar annihilates Fedor, Joe Rogan, reeking of bong smoke, will jump into the Octagon and shove a microphone in Brock’s face. Joe Rogan marches out of the octagon, shaking his head in disgust. And Brock Lesnar does.

By AH Also, I’ll be hosting an MMA chat at FanHouse Friday 1PM ET. I’m guessing only my sister will show up, so consider this a special invitation to the Jarry Park faithful to come and take ovah! (Speaking of chats, I’ll also be live chatting UFC 101 at FanHouse, so do stop by for that, as well.)

By Zdot This is the last fight from Cris Cyborg at the Shamrock vs. Diaz Strikeforce event. The Japanese was extremely courageous against the brutal Brazilian. The fight was first called off, but they made some business deal with the Japanese fighter and the fight was kept on the card.

By Kid Nate Let's review. First Jones used the wrestling phase of the game -- a fake shoot -- to get O'Brien in position to catch him with a spinning elbow -- a second phase of the game, striking -- then when O'Brien reacted by shooting for the take down, Jones used his wrestling to stuff the shoot and set up...

By ckfighter The 5 reasons the MMA world hates Brock Lesnar was such a hit, that I decided to make another 5 reasons list. This time I’m setting my sites on another hated figure (at least to the UFC MMA fans) in the MMA world, and that figure would be the one and only Kimbo Slice. Now, one thing i should clear up. T...

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...

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...

By Greg Clark From Miami street brawler to Bangbus bodyguard to EliteXC six-figure contracted fighter, here is the documentary of the life of the one they call Kimbo Slice. Special appearances by Bas Rutten, Joe Rogan and my favorite hall of fame Tool, Tito Ortiz who does nothing more than rag on Kimbo. Here's the video that launched his career and legend in the Internet fight scene. Here's the one loss that happened against Kimbo by way of 6'3" 265Lb Sean "The Cannon" Gannon... Gannon has a 1-1 MMA record and fought in the UFC a couple of years ago. Here's the circus sideshow with Kimbo fighting former Boxing Heavyweight Champion, Merciless Ray Mercer.
