By KingLev A strong source indicates to Bloody Elbow that Chuck Liddell is currently in negotiations to move to heavyweight in order to fight Randy Couture. The proposed fight would take place on June 13th in Cologne, Germany. The UFC wants to have Randy on their Germany show because he speaks the lang...

By IronMan The beauty of the UFC, and the sport of mixed martial arts as a whole, was the opportunity for versatility, as well as the visceral nature of the sport. I love a sport where anything can happen, where two grapplers can come out to strike or a K-1 warrior can tap out a former NCAA champion. XARM rem...

By Fight Ticker NEW YORK, NY, November 17, 2008 – After a controversial ending to their first bout, UFC welterweights Kevin Burns and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson will meet in the Octagon once again in December.

By Fight Ticker Lesnar, who defeated Randy Couture to claim the UFC heavyweight title following a second round TKO this past Saturday at UFC 91, debuts in the WAMMA heavyweight top ten at number four. The 2000 NCAA heavyweight champion finds himself only ranked behind undisputed WAMMA heavyweight cham...

By Fight Ticker We're certainly seeing some of those athletes trickle into MMA in the form of Miguel Torres, Urijah Faber, Lesnar, Georges St. Pierre, Anderson Silva, and BJ Penn. But, until the sport is accessible and affordable to all kids, we're a long way from reaching MMA's true potential. I bet today'...

By KingLev It wasn't until about a year ago that I began to understand all of the different disciplines that these fighters study. I began to see that some fighters were wrestlers, some were BJJ practitioners and some of them were using Muay Thai striking. Then I began to realize that it wasn't prudent t...

By PreView Critics have noted that many of the fights on the UFC pay-per-view ended in the first round, leaving UFC producers scrambling to fill the three-hour event with content. The dearth of hearty competition left many viewers to watch less prestigious under-card fights and only served to bols...

By PreView The Ultimate Fighting Championship today officially announced its return to London. The as-yet-unnamed UFC 95 event will take place Feb. 21 at the O2 arena. As long as the UFC puts on quality shows, I don't care where they are. It's good for the sport and the fighters.

By PreView If a fighter either fails to take the test within the required timeframe (determined by the Commission) or fails the test, the Commission may refuse to license the fighter, refuse to allow the fighter to compete, and/or discipline the fighter.

By KingLev While I always feel bad for any fighter when they lose their job this doesn't surprise me, especially with all of the fighters that will be available once the EliteXC mess is sorted out. Lambert didn't do anything extraordinary and continually losing didn't help his cause much. Maybe he can...
