UFC Live on Versus 2 : Jones vs Matyushenko (Preview)

In their 2nd show on Versus, the UFC heads to San Diego on Saturday, August 1st, 2010 at 9:00pm est.

Takanori Gomi was [...]

Ortiz vs. Hamill: Purely Business For Ortiz

I wrote a previous article regarding the upcoming Tito Ortiz vs. Matt Hamill MMA fight during UFC 121 on October 23 in Anaheim, Calif. There has been a lot of confusion as to why Ortiz and Hamill, who previously trained together for a brief time, would accept a fight against one another.  A recent article published [...]

“Mayhem” Miller vs Nick Diaz (Updated)

Let’s get one thing straight.  There has never been any love lost between Miller and Diaz.  These guys don’t like each other and they never have, but things started to shift from disinterest to dissent back in 2007.  In this video, Miller is interviewing Diaz after his EliteXC debut and Miller’s “showmanship” rises to the [...]

Kaufman, Modafferi prove their worth

We were puzzled by the company’s decision to not only have their women’s 135lb. champion defend her title on a Challengers Series card, but also to have it not be the main-event of the evening. Instead of writing a pre-event [...]

Strikeforce Women’s Tournament Announced

It’s been in the works for as long as I can remember. Perhaps prompted into action by Bellator edging ahead in women’s MMA, Strikeforce has finally announced their 135-lb. women’s tournament. The four-woman tournament will take place on August 13th in Phoenix, and the winner will earn a title shot. For some reason, the rounds will [...]
