UFC: Ultimate Fighting Championship

By John Morgan [kingofabuelos] In Part VII, with Pierce having returned home to train with his local gym, Story takes on a supporting role as UFC welterweight Anthony Johnson enters the final stages of a difficult cut to 170 pounds for a UFC 104 bout with Yoshiyuki Yoshida.

This tournament is stacked and includes Lucas Leite, Nick and Nate Diaz, Baret Yoshida, Josh Barnett, Pablo Popovitch, Romulo Barr...

Debbie Lee, UFC - Every fighter has dreamed of making his way up the ranks, but when Shannon Gugerty says it, he really means it. The lightweight was asleep in his room at Mandalay Bay on the eve of UFC 100 when his unconscious mind envisioned him putting his next opponent in a guillotine choke.

By Zdot UFC 65 featured a rematch between Matt Hughes and Georges St-Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Title and a heavyweight championship fight between UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia and Jeff Monson. That was the famous fight that brought out Randy Couture from retirement to fight Silva a...

By Andrew Nuschler A fading Andrei Arlovski is his shiniest pelt along with a knockout of (ugh) James Thompson. Hey, if the Colossus showed up to collect on a debt I owed, I'd soil myself. Unfortunately, every single heavyweight in MMA worth a damn seems to be infinitely tougher than I and they've proved it usin...

By Jesse Holland –Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker reacts favorably to the inclusion of his San Jose-based mixed martial arts promotion in the upcoming release of “EA Sports MMA” video game. UFC President Dana White had a very public war of words earlier this year after White accused the gaming giant of turnin...

By Nick Thomas Cain Velasquez says he's interested in the fight against Big Nog at UFC 108 but it's not confirmed yet. He also says he manhandled Ben Rothwell and that Fedor is the one of the greatest fighters out there.

By Kid Nate Which is why the news of Lesnar taking significant time off should make people in UFC very nervous. The reported reason for Lesnar's prolonged absence is that he is suffering not from the swine flu but from mono and that he can't train. The illness will keep Lesnar on the sidelines for at least...

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 Robert Gardner On November 21, 2009, Tito Ortiz will be making his return to the octagon when he takes on Forrest Griffin in the main event of UFC 106. Both Liddell and Ortiz are talented wrestlers. Liddell uses his wrestling in reverse to avoid takedowns and keep fights standing while Ortiz pushes for the t...

By Jesse Holland Famed heavyweight striker Mirko Filipovic (25-7-2) is reportedly considering a return to the Octagon to face fellow MMA transplant Ben Rothwell (30-7) at UFC 110, tentatively scheduled for the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, on Feb. 21 according to Sherdog.com.

By Steve Cofield It hasn't been an easy five months for Michael Bisping. The British middleweight, once the toast of the town, is still dealing with his first career loss, a brutal knockout at the hands of Dan Henderson. Adding insult to injury, because of his coaching appearance on season of nine of "The Ult...

By Tom Ngo Dana Pulling for Fedor This Saturday -  UFC president Dana White states that he’ll be sitting in front of his plasma and backing Fedor Emelianenko when he makes his American primetime debut on Saturday. The heavyweight clash will be going off inside the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estat...

By E. Spencer Kyte The idea of a Mixed Martial Arts monopoly has been discussed in various incarnations since the emergence of the Ultimate Fighting Championship as the dominant brand in the sport. Some will forever argue that all the best fighters belong in the UFC, just as many will mistakenly label Mixed...

By James Ryan There were no rounds (20-minute time limits) and despite no biting or eye gouging, the UFC was proud to declare that they had "no rules." The fight reminded me of two things: First, Ken Shamrock used to be an amazing fighter and really was fun to watch.  Second, wrestlers couldn’t punch worth...

By Josh Nason But when I see UFC 103 with Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort on top or UFC 105 with Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera as the main event, I cringe—not because I don't want to see those fights—but because those aren't UFC-quality main events that we are used to seeing.

By Tom Ngo Although light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida successfully defended his title at UFC 104 against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, there weren’t too many fans that left the Staples Center in LA, CA thinking he should have exited the Octagon with UFC gold still wrapped around his waist.

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 Todd Jackson At the end of the day, this is the biggest event in TUF history since Matt Serra shocked the world by taking out pound for pound champion Georges St. Pierre. While many fans have their opinions of the finer points of this match up, one thing is certain. 

By Michael Rome A UFC/WEC merger is inevitable at this point in my mind.  The UFC is suffering from a main event shortage, and introducing two new titles into the mix would help them handle a schedule that gets heavier every year.  With Rampage apparently retiring, Matt Hughes a loss away from retirement, a...

By Dorothy Willis Touted as a natural MMA fighter, Lesnar did have a respectable run as a champion wrestler in college, which has been considered to be a springboard to becoming a champ in the UFC. Matt Hughes and Chuck Liddell are other examples of this.

By Ryan Harkness Michael Bisping’s UK team might have swept the Ultimate Fighter finals but it was Dan Henderson who got the last laugh on Saturday night at UFC 100. For the first round of their fight he stalked Bisping and threw huge right hand bombs that kept the British fighter retreating. For his part, Bis...

By Leland Roling Overeem faces two problems in overcoming Lesnar. One, he is the Strikeforce heavyweight champion, is fighting for them on August 15, and contractually obligated to Strikeforce. Two, he needs to stay on his feet to be able to use high kicks, but as Lesnar showed on Saturday, his takedown is q...

By VSN Writers Minus a few wrong turns here and there, it could very well be you lining up across George St. Pierre for the welterweight title. Or maybe in your case, lining up across Brock Lesnar for the heavyweight title (since they don’t make a super-ultra-heavyweight division).

By Josh Nason On Saturday night, Strikeforce will return to Showtime with a main event of Frank Shamrock vs. Nick Diaz. Normally, an event like this would fit in with the rest of the MMA found on TV today and not necessarily stand out. Pick: Melendez via unanimous decision

By MMAmania He also predicts he would knockout Demian “One-Trick Pony” Maia and much more: Props: Setanta.com (Conversation with “The Count” heats up about half-way through the segment.

By gary kroonen jr. I should start by saying I think Brock Lesnar works hard enough to excel in the UFC. The concern I have is how fast he jumped into the top of the heavyweight division. He is very large, athletic, and has heavy hands which is a bonus for him. However he has very little experience in MMA.

By MMAmania The legal team that represents lightweight champion BJ Penn — four days removed from a technical knockout loss to welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre at UFC 94 on Jan. 31 — today sent a formal request (not a complaint) to the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

By Sam Caplan Our pal, Steve Cofield, aka Mr. Sunshine, had Chuck Liddell’s trainer, John Hackleman, as a guest on his show. Hackleman said he believed Keith Jardine won the fight vs. Liddell at UFC 76 and gave his reasons as to why he felt Liddell lost. He said that he doesn’t believe in any way that Liddell is...
