Strikeforce Preview: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers

07 Nov 2009 07:16:00 PST

Written by Leland Roling
What many fans seem to forget is just how amazing Fedor Emelianenko is as a fighter. He's one of the first fighters in history to be equally great at nearly all aspects of mixed martial arts. He can grapple both offensively and defensively with some of the best jiu-jitsu fighters in the world w...

Opinion: Creature vs Creature: Pathetic Tito Begs the Iceman for a Third Beatdown

06 Nov 2009 07:00:14 PST

Written by James Ryan
Here’s what I remember from Ortiz vs Shamrock 3 in 2006. A much older, punch-drunk Shamrock lost with enormous class. A younger Tito won without any. Tito Ortiz, in my less than humble opinion, is a pathetic loser who has embroiled himself in a win-win situation by calling out Chuck Liddel...

Opinion: Can CBS, Strikeforce, and Fedor Emelianenko Elevate Mixed Martial Arts?

05 Nov 2009 20:55:03 PST

Written by Todd Jackson
That is a very bold statement considering the story history tells. This is not the first time an MMA event was held live on CBS. EliteXC tried their hand in impressing the sport upon casual viewers and sadly they failed handily. Strikeforce has something they didn't have and that is Fedor. ...

Opinion: More Hell in a Cell feedback

04 Oct 2009 16:02:18 PDT

Best match-Cena vs Orton 4) Jericho and Big Show over Batista and Mysterio. (3 and a half stars). Since the switch to kiddie-fare, ratings are now on a sliding scale, as much less is expected. This was a hoot, and despite the limitations of Show and Batista, well worked by all.

Opinion: Roy Nelson and Kimbo Slice

30 Sep 2009 23:02:25 PDT

It was billed as the biggest fight in the history of The Ultimate Fighter and one fighter was less than impressive. And that fighter was Roy “Big Country” Nelson.

Opinion: UFC Ultimate Fighter James McSweeney Vs. Wes Shivers: Is Dana White On LSD, Are The Judges On Crack, Or Both?

23 Sep 2009 20:50:32 PDT

Written by maverickguy
After UFC Ultimate Fighter Wes Shivers lost in a decision to James McSweeney on Spike Tv, I’m beginning to wonder if MMA is going lose credibilty in some of its decisions. If Dana White doesn’t come out and say something about this decision, I am going to start losing respect for him. I know, bi...
