Randy Couture

By Jeremy Botter Gabriel Gonzaga's KO of Mirko Cro Cop is a shining example of how the best laid plans often work out in a manner you hadn't intended. Cro Cop was being built up for an August 2007 heavyweight title fight with champion Randy Couture, but Gonzaga threw a wrench into those plans with a perfect hig...

By Kierkegaard The Fights: At this point in the night, only two fights had managed to get out of the first round.  With almost two hours left to fill and only three fights left, we expected lots and lots of downtime in the arena.  Fortunately, the last three fights changed the trend.

By Adam Wagner Joe Lauzon: Basically take him down and beat him up. He has good boxing, wrestling and jiu-jitsu. But I feel my wrestling and jiu-jitsu are better. Mike McColgan is a former mixed martial arts fighter out of Omaha, Neb., and an aspiring professional photographer.

By Ian Sibransingh UFC goes back to good ol' England for UFC 89 Bisping vs. Leben. Leben, on the other hand, seems to have more experience and has improved since I have seen him in the Ultimate Fighter show. Leben is 18-4 and most of his 18 wins are by knockout which shows he has better hands.

By Jesse Holland Now that the initial shock of his passing has worn off, both fans and media from the world of mixed martial arts are trying to find his rightful place in the annals of UFC history. Tanner lost just 32 seconds in, but the hype surrounding the fight and the KO finish solidified Ortiz as a major pla...

By Kevin Curran I have come to this conclusion through many question. I once believed this title belonged to Bas Rutten, but I realized, though Bas had vicious kicks, he did not utilize them as much as Cro Cop. Cro Cop is lethal with all of his limbs. This title is contested between three people, Bas Rutten, Mau...

By Michael Rome If I had to evaluate the state of the UFC right now, I would say it is excellent.  They are doing strong pay per view numbers without Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, or Randy Couture, the overseas expansion is now profitable, and they have a few very big fights on the horizon.  The piece they need to f...

By Adam Wagner Personally, I thought Lesnar looked like a child, or at least an idiot. But then again, I enjoy the Thiago Silva throat slit or even the Tito Ortiz cemetery burial from time to time. It wasn’t so much Lesnar’s rodeo roping as it was the pointing and laughing.

By bfowlkes Props: Yahoo’s Steve Cofield) As we told you earlier this week, Matt Hughes was not at all impressed with Georges St. Pierre at UFC 87. His blog post about how boring he found the GSP-Fitch fight seemed laced with no small amount of jealousy. That’s somewhat understandable. A guy beats your ass...

Silva showed why he's highly regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world when he went up in weight class and knocked out James Irvin. Vera won a unanimous decision over Reese Andy, but didn't live up to the expectations dropping down from heavyweight.

By CagE The fact that GSP couldn’t finish Fitch is a testament to Jon’s enormous heart. Fitch was rocked and dropped several times and consistently took a beating throughout the fight. But, he never quit and never stopped moving forward. Although Fitch displayed true spirit, GSP was never in any re...

By Kierkegaard Something I haven't yet seen much comment on is the knees.  I was impressed with Lesnar's use of the knees when he had Herring down.  More people should take advantage of those knees to the body and kidneys; devastating shots -- just ask Matt Serra how devastating they can be.

By ben Round 3: After trading punches, GSP lands a huge right hand that knocks Fitch on his ass! GSP takes Fitch’s back and sinks the hooks in. Fitch is bleeding heavily from the eye. Fitch escapes the choke attempt and rolls on top of GSP. Fitch laying some shots into GSP’s body from the top. Fitch movin...

By Mike Fagan Jon Fitch sports a 17-2 (4 [T]KO/5 SUB) record.  Fitch fights out of the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, California and currently holds a 15 fight win streak (and it tied with Royce Gracie for most consecutive UFC wins at 8).  He sports a good overall MMA game, complementing his wres...

By bfowlkes Goldstein: Yeah, Herring’s probably been drilling his wrestling. You know who else has been drilling his wrestling? Brock Lesnar. I wouldn’t be surprised if either fighter pulled a win out of this match, but there’s one thing that’s guaranteed: At some point, Herring will be taken down an...

The most impressive part about Velasquez is that he has been so dominating while making it look so easy. Jake O'Brien is mainly known for being a boring lay n'pray fighter for most of his career, but he's had to use his wrestling pedigree to set those types of fights up. Cain used his superior wr...

By Luke Thomas WAMMA does indeed have the potential to make it happen, but they are also facing incredibly difficult odds. I find the idea of a sanctioning body in a sport based heavily on the professional wrestling business model to be an incongruity, notwithstanding that the key player in the matter - t...

By SamCaplan I feel bad for Houston. I know a lot of people are disappointed but I guess I have a PRIDE mentality when it comes to him because I'll support the guy no matter what. And for all those claiming that his spot in the UFC is in peril, I think you have no clue. After having lost Sylvia, Cro Cop, and Couture...

By John Griffin After the high of winning the belt and then crushing Gonzaga, Randy decided to hang up the gloves due to some really dumb reasons. I think he is hiding something now. UFC should just call his bluff and co-promote a Fedor vs Couture fight with M1 Global. With the cool $2 million that will get him th...
