By Kris Karkoski Serra (9-6) has fought just twice since his shocking upset of welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre in April 2007, dropping back-to-back bouts to St-Pierre in April 2008 and Hughes in May. UFC 109 is expected to be headlined by middleweight champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort and will a...

By Steve Cofield It's still hard to believe an accord was reached between the warring factions from UFC 84. Tito Ortiz is back making money from and for the UFC and president Dana White. He's in the main event of UFC 106 tomorrow night against Forrest Griffin.

By Cory Brady Matt Serra will be returning to action in February as he faces off with Frank Trigg in a welterweight clash set for UFC 109. Serra recently confirmed the news of his participation in the bout through a recent report over at The Fight Network. While nothing has been made official, the event is e...

By Steve Cofield Tito Ortiz may be a better trash-talker but Forrest Griffin is a better quote. The quotes are rarely about his fighting or career, but they're still classics. This discussion on why he curses so often is dynamite.  I don't know why I cuss so much. I'm around gyms all the time. Damn, dirty apes," Gr...

By MMAmania.com UFC welterweight Matt Serra spoke to The Fight Network on Friday morning and confirmed that he has signed on to fight Frank Trigg at the UFC 109 card on February 6th 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.... Serra also stated he would very happy to fight in the future at a catch weight of 160 or 165 pounds if the...

By Steve Cofield Koscheck (13-4, 11-4 UFC) was originally scheduled to fight Michael Pierce at Ultimate Fight Night 20 in January. He took that fight which was even more of lose-lose situation but jumped at the chance to get on this card on pay-per-view.

By Leland Roling UFC 106's main event light heavyweight tilt will feature the return of what many consider to be one of the most influential fighters among the casual fanbase the UFC has ever produced. Tito Ortiz (15-6-1, 14-6-1 UFC) will finally make his return to the ranks of the UFC following a year-and-...

By Mike Fagan Forrest Griffin Ortiz went on to beat up Ken Shamrock not once, but twice before Chuck Liddell obliterated him for a second time.  He later drew Rashad Evans in a dreadful fight, followed by getting the Mexican beaten out of him by Lyoto Machida at UFC 84.  Since then, Ortiz has been busy teasi...

By Jesse Holland 205 lbs.: Tito "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz (15-6-1) vs. Forrest Griffin (16-6) Ortiz: Griffin: Ortiz: +105 ((Bet Now)) Griffin: -135 ((Bet Now)) Prediction: Griffin via unanimous decision Sadollah: Sadollah: -220 ((Bet Now)) Prediction: Volkmann via unanimous decision

By Jesse Holland The Constrictor Team product stunned the division with a TKO stoppage over Josh Koscheck at UFC 95: "Sanchez vs. Stevenson" in his Octagon debut last January. Fitch, friend and training partner of "Kos," was looking for revenge at UFC 100, where he handed Thiago the first defeat of his care...

By Leland Roling One of the highly-anticipated battles that will take place at UFC 106 will be a welterweight showdown between rising star Anthony "Rumble" Johnson (8-2, 5-2 UFC) and UFC veteran and The Ultimate Fighter Season 1 contestant Josh Koscheck (13-4, 11-4 UFC). The bout will feature the Sansho...

By Steve Cofield Now Johnson isn't Mr. Nice Guy all the time especially when it comes time to step into the Octagon. Johnson (8-2, 5-2 UFC) has been given a huge opportunity to take out a top five UFC welterweight in Josh Koscheck. That could mean a quick shot at the UFC 170-pound champion Georges St. Pierre. This i...

By Dr J Luckily (or unluckily) for Tito, he is catching Forrest Griffin at what is a very tenuous time for the TUF superstar. After winning the light heavyweight title in a razor close decision against Quinton Jackson, Griffin proceeded to cough the belt up to Rashad Evans and then get completely...

By Gary Herman Possibilities for an opponent could include Rich Franklin, Mark Coleman, or Brandon Vera. However, if the UFC really wants a slam-dunk buy rate of over a million, they should make a quick call to their prior savior, Randy Couture. A returning Chuck Liddell may be the only option for Jan. 2.

By Jessy Morris Michael Bisping Michael Bisping is England's biggest fighter currently in the UFC. He's the winner of the third season of The Ultimate Fighter and has proved to be a great fighter. He suffered a set back against Dan Henderson at UFC 100 and alot of people began doubting Bisping. At UFC 105, he c...

By Joe Burgett In any case, it is now confirmed that the son of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon met with Dana White who is the President of UFC. Considered to be the top MMA company in the world, UFC is growing more and more. While nothing has been confirmed with Shane, people need to take notice abou...

By Jesse Holland Fickle fans have come to be spoiled by the dominance of their current champions. Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva are so far and above most of the competitive population, they've practically held their divisions hostage since their ascensions to the throne.

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 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 Eric Samulski It certainly has been a surprising season of The Ultimate Fighter. It's just not delivering the type of surprises UFC President Dana White was dreaming up when he decided to fill the new season's roster with a mix of veteran and rising heavyweights.

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 Ed J Pickle McNasty III If there was ever any doubt after his last run on TUF, that doubt has been destroyed: Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is an unbelievable moron!There is such a thing as being a complete and total failure as an MMA coach.  If you go a step worse than that, you’re name is probably Quinton Jackson.  A gr...

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 Leland Roling Josh Koscheck (12-4) didn't take too kindly to the comparison that his style of fighting and background are very similar to that of Frank Trigg (19-6), but that's exactly what Frank Trigg did during the one-hour UFC 103 Countdown show that premiered on Monday night. Trigg stated that the s...

A major note on who watches Ultimate Fighter and how it differs from WWE September 15, 2008 (Life and Times of Evan Tanner) Should Quinton Jackson have turned down the A-Team role to keep the 12/12 date with Rashad Evans Will this Ultimate Fighter season be the highest rated?

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 Larry Vollmer Download: A few weeks ago, I posted a blog about Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s appearance on the nationally syndicated Opie and Anthony radio 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...
