UFC: Ultimate Fighting Championship

By Robert Gardner While on the show, Marcus Jones may have earned the nickname “Big Baby” because of his kind, caring, and emotional nature in the house but inside the cage, Jones displayed a vicious ground game with some powerful ground and pound. Matt Veach

By Jesse Holland Also making his Octagon debut was the once-maligned YouTube and EliteXC star Kimbo Slice taking on the free-falling Houston Alexander. Slice earned a unanimous decision win after three rounds of playing cat-and-mouse. The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 Finale

By Bryan Levick It looks like season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter is already more interesting than this past season. Liddell fans will be salivating over the thought of another Ortiz knockout loss, while Ortiz fans, will be looking for their boy to retire Liddell, once and for all.

By Todd Jackson When the UFC decides to offer a fight to Diego "The Nightmare" Sanchez, the fight fan knows there will be at least one exciting fight on the card.  Diego is the type of fighter who has developed a strong reputation as a game and entertaining fighter, with a fire in his belly that is rare in this w...

Dana announces the coaches for next season are... Flair and Hogan! No, but it's almost as bad. Chuck and Tito? Good Christ. How's Chuck gonna coach? He can't even talk comprehensibly any more. Gnnarrr arrrrr gwaaarrrggg rrrarrrggg. Even besides his own lack of technique, I mean. And Tito's back i...

By Jung Soo Kim The bell sounded to end a pretty entertaining fight: Slice took the unanimous decision of 29-28 (twice) and a 30-27. Tito Ortiz (15-7) and Chuck Liddell (21-7) are coaches for the next TUF season. Ortiz vs. Liddell 3 is going to happen in 2010. I am so excited about this fight...

By Steve Cofield He's far from the featured fight at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale but it's clear who Las Vegas and the media feel is the biggest fighter on the card tomorrow night. The much slimmer looking Kimbo Slice. The man himself graced UFC's open workouts with his presence, complete with his entourag...

By Kelsey Philpott But Griffin was also coming off two straight knockout losses, and the latter, to Anderson Silva, was the first time he ever looked like he didn’t belong in a fight. Plus, after losing, he ran to the back after the fight, only the second time the public saw the Griffin that people within the spo...

By Charttopper In an interview with Lawal, the undefeated fighter talks about needing to keep busy by fighting as often as possible, fighting in Japan, and feeling that he won’t get any respect until he fights in the UFC. King Mo: He’s solid. He’s a solid veteran, He’s solid pretty much everywhere and doesn’t make many mistakes. He used to wrestle at heavyweight back in college. I was wrestling freestyle at the time so I didn’t know him, but I knew of him. King Mo: Yeah, and the thing is that we’re fighting at heavyweight because he didn’t want to make the cut to 205. He’s like 245 or 250 right now. I’ll fight him anywhere. He wanted to fight at heavyweight, I’m like… whatever.   [read the full post]

By Luke Thomas Michael Rome:  I think the surgery matters, but not the way everyone else does.  I think Ortiz will be stilted and slow.  Even if it makes him better, I think Forrest is the better fighter.  Have we all forgot how far Forrest has come since their first fight just because he got his clock cleaned b...

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 James Ryan The “longest running Light Heavyweight Champion in the history of the UFC” has a great ring to it Tito – until you consider that you ran away from Chuck like a scared little girl for over two years before finally fighting him at UFC 47. 

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 Steve Cofield Does Anthony Johnson deserve any credit for his quick knockout of Yoshiyuki Yoshida? Afterall, he probably entered the cage weighing 190-192 after missing weight at 176. Is Pat Barry for real as a dangerous stand-up fighter at heavyweight? He was devastating tonight against another go...

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...

I really enjoyed this PPV. I wouldnt say its ppv of the year, but I did enjoy watching it. Couture v/s Nogeria was awesome, I can only imagine what it was like live. I would like to see Big Nog destroy Mir now. It was also interesting seeing Brock yell support to Randy. I would like to see Randy move dow...

By Flying Knee Chris Leben 18-6-1 Notable Wins: Chuck Liddell (2007) Randy Couture 16-9-0 Notable Wins Tim Sylvia (2007) Gabriel Gonzaga (2007) Vitor Belfort (2004, 1997) Tito Ortiz (2003) Chuck Liddell (2003) Pedro Rizzo x2 (2001, 2001) Kevin Randleman (2000)

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 Dave Meltzer dave@wrestlingobserver.com (mailto:dave@wrestlingobserver.com) Welcome to our live coverage of UFC 100 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. We're looking for your thoughts on the show, so you can leave a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle along wi...

By Leland Roling The big problem, however, is that Fitch has already lost to Georges St. Pierre as has Josh Koscheck. If Thiago Alves loses to GSP at UFC 100, an impressive performance could vault Swick toward the top simply to mix up the competition that GSP is defending his title against.

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 Steve Cofield Kahne -- all 5 feet 8 inches and 150 pounds -- spent an hour with mixed martial arts stars Forrest Griffin and Wanderlei Silva to film a segment for Sunday's race, which will telecast on Fox (Ch. 5). I held back a little with Wanderlei," Kahne, 28, joked of the simulated fight he had with the Las V...

St. Pierre now has a stake in the claim for top pound-for-pound fighter. It was Anderson Silva’s title for the past year, and some would argue he's still at the top. Fedor Emelianenko has made his claim with brutal wins over Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski, and now St. Pierre has made his case with...

By Alan Conceicao Ken Shamrock: Shamrock’s loss to Buzz Berry was a brutal one. The Kimbo debacle only could have damaged him more. Now the news that he’s fighting on February 13th against Bo Cantrell comes almost as no surprise. To everyone’s credit, this is better than the rumored February bout against Tim S...

By Steve Cofield Trash talk isn't needed to hype up all fights. You've got the perfect case at the main event of UFC 93 where Dan Henderson isn't very menacing when he's trying to smack about an opponent and Rich Franklin is way too laid back to do anything but laugh it off. Franklin channeled his inner co...

By rss@youtube.com (hattrickhockey17) Whats up everyone, I am back to do my predictions for the Ultimate Fighter Season 8 Finale. Decent card from top to bottom, should be a good night of fights. Leave me some comments! I will be back the night of or the night after to do my review.

By Steve Cofield Brock) Lesnar pounces on (Randy) Couture, kneels over him and starts punching him in the head, doling out 17 blows in a seemingly endless 10 seconds, until the referee finally intervenes. Couture is lying on the floor, motionless, looking dead. Seventeen blows to the head in 10 seconds, bl...

By stoker dafire After last nights results from Affliction: Banned and UFC Fight Night, there are two big name mma fighters whos careers lie in the balance and could be going in different directions. Six months after his loss to Frank Mir due to his arm being broken, Tim Sylvia returned (a titanium plate had...

By Darren Heitner The first televised MMA card on a major network is on May 31 and features Slice against James Thompson. This fight is set up to show what may be MMA’s largest-ever television audience a devastating Kimbo Slice knockout. Thompson has lost seven times by either knockout or technical knockout....

By Luke Thomas Kid Nate: Very tough to call. Silva has been a world beater in the UFC, he's been at the top of his game, winning impressively with distance striking (Leben), clinch striking (Franklin x2), jiu jitsu off his back (Lutter) and wrestling (Marquardt). Henderson theoretically brings the exac...

By Sam Caplan Sam Caplan: There was some talk that maybe you would be involved with the seventh season of “The Ultimate Fighter” as a coach. Obviously, Forrest Griffin and Quinton Jackson got the coaching slots. But was that ever something that was discussed with you?

By SamCaplan A teep is a jab kick specific to Muay Thai. What Boetsch was throwing last night was not a jab kick. It was a straight heel kick and it likely comes from his Jeet Kune Do training. I realize both kicks look similar but there are some noticeable differences and the purposes of both kicks are differe...

By ben The last fighter to actually wear Affliction during an event was Georges St. Pierre at UFC 79 where he sported Affliction on his tights and gi. If you review UFC 80 and Wednesday’s Ultimate Fight Night: Swick vs. Burkman, you’ll notice that Affliction was noticeably absent from any fighter’...

I had a few opportunities where I could have hit him but I had just got off an eight month suspension from [president] Dana [White] and the UFC and the [Nevada State Athletic] Commission. I wasn’t going to be stupid and let him win again by me putting my hands on him and then they dock me some mor...

By Irie Rujah Georges St. Pierre def. Matt Hughes via Submission (Round 2: 4:54) The main event featured Georges St. Pierre, or who we in the UFC world call GSP, and he is the man. Chuck Liddell def. Wanderlei Silva via unanimous decision Definitely not Rampage.

By Irie Rujah The Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC for those not hip to the lingo, failed to make a dent on any mainstream sports outlet over the Holiday weekend. Perhaps it was because of the Giants vs. Patriots game on Saturday, which just happened to be the same night the pay-per-view was being broa...

By Jesse Holland Many thought Quinton “Rampage” Jackson would be taken down by Dan “Hollywood” Henderson, but tonight I really noticed how much Rampage has matured as a fighter. Where does he go from here? How about Rampage/Rua II? That’s assuming Forrest Griffin doesn’t throw a wrench in the works at UFC...

By UFC Junkie I recently selected a few longtime UFCjunkie.com readers to submit questions to Josh Koscheck (9-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC), a top UFC welterweight contender who most recently defeated Diego Sanchez at UFC 69. Enjoy: Would you be willing to compete in a PRIDE welterweight grand prix?

By UFC Junkie Enjoy: Do you still see the guys from The Ultimate Fighter 1? Oh yeah! Made some friendships that I hope will last forever. Alex Karalexis is a great friend, Mike Swick, Josh Rafferty, Lodune Sincaid. Quite a few guys have stayed in touch. And of course Chris Leben. He’s my special little guy!
