MMA Mania reports that James Irvin — who was handed a nine-month suspension for testing positive for Methadone and Oxymorphone following his TKO loss to Anderson Silva last July — will be making his Octagon return at UFC 98 (May 23rd, Las Vegas). It will be his first fight at middleweight,...

Ben vs. Ben: UFC 93 Edition

That said, I think Franklin is the better all-around fighter. All he has to do is keep Henderson from taking him down and holding him there while peppering him with elbows, which is undoubtedly Hendo’s game plan. “Ace” is going to end up on his back once or twice, but he’ll take over in the sec...

Top 10 Fights on My Christmas Wish List

1. Anderson Silva vs. Georges St. Pierre: Whether GSP beats Penn or not (magic eight ball says, “all signs point to yes,”) this has the potential to be the UFC’s biggest superfight ever. They have precious few opportunities to settle pound-for-pound debates, but this is their best shot. If M...

Silva vs. Cote Underperforms on Pay-Per-View; A Bad Sign for Brock and Randy?

Silva has never been a big main-event draw, PPV-wise. His headlining appearances at UFC 82, 77, and 67 all translated to buys in the 330,000-350,000 range. But in the run-up to last month’s Chicago show, the UFC had been trying extra hard to push him over as a fan-favorite, frequently repeat...

Total Horseshit: Jon Fitch Dropped From UFC Over Video Game Licensing

Yeah, about that Fitch/Gono fight: It’s not going to happen because Jon Fitch, the UFC’s former #1 welterweight contender, and one of only three fighters to ever achieve eight consecutive wins inside the Octagon (the other two being Royce Gracie and Anderson Silva), has been fired. MMA M...

Exclusive: Ed Soares Confirms Paulo Filho’s Release, Talks Silva-Liddell Superfight Rumor

Soares also said he had no idea what caused Filho’s strange performance, during which he often seemed disoriented and uninterested, nor did he know what caused his fighter to show up seven pounds overweight for a title defense. He did say, however, that Filho has sent the WEC middleweight...

The Penn/St. Pierre Hype Wave Begins

Penn still plans on defending both belts if he takes the welterweight strap from GSP, but he has no idea how often he would defend each title. He also credits the small-man-beats-big-man theory of Brazilian jiu-jitsu for his desire to challenge larger opponents, though Dana White puts hi...

Anderson Silva Wants a Make-Up Fight “Immediately”

You bastards have done it now. You fans and media with your hate mail and hate articles, accusing Anderson Silva of conduct unbecoming a champion. Now he’s pissed. And Silva is not like your sister. He doesn’t turn to ice cream when he’s upset. He turns to awesomely destructive violence, and he w...

UFC Quick Hits: Alves Suffers Slight Injury, Cote Out for 6-8 Months, Werdum “Surprised”

Thiago Alves proved himself worthy of a title shot with his victory over Josh Koscheck at UFC 90, but he didn’t get out unscathed. MMA Weekly reports that he suffered a dislocated thumb in the fight. It’s not a serious injury, and a spokesman from American Top Team said they expect him to be fin...

GSP ‘Very Impressed’ By Alves’s Performance

So start getting psyched for St. Pierre/Alves. Pitbull definitely earned his shot with his three-round domination of Josh Koscheck on Saturday night, and he could easily turn out to be St. Pierre’s most challenging title defense yet. To read GSP’s thoughts on his new BJJ black belt (congrat...

The ‘WTF Anderson!?’ Thought Experiment

’Sup, Anderson? Seriously. Photo courtesy of Cage Today.) The fight had barely ended and already fans were jumping off the Anderson Silva bandwagon by the dozens. The media wasn’t far behind, with Yahoo’s Kevin Iole proclaiming that Silva had “made a mockery of himself” in the fight.

Quick Hits: On Being Smarter Than a Twelve-Year-Old, Cote’s Contract & More

Patrick Cote tells MMA Mania that the UFC did not have him sign a contract extension prior to his title fight against Anderson Silva at UFC 90 this Saturday night. That’s notable since he’s at or near the end of his current contract, and typically the UFC makes sure they have a guy locked up bef...

GSP: Catching Up From Albuquerque

Then I came back in Montreal with new tricks and more tools than I had before I went to New York. It’s very important for me to help my friends and training partners when they need it because they were there for me when I prepare for my fights. When I came back to Montreal, I kept training with Patri...

Kurt Angle Insists He’ll Compete in MMA Next Year

Hey, someone’s gotta fill the hole left by Anderson Silva. WWE/TNA vet Kurt Angle — who’s made similar claims in the past — now tells The Sun that he’ll definitely make the move from pro wrestling to MMA next year. And in doing so, he kind of sounds like an idiot. First off…
