I had the opportunity to meet big names in MMA in the UFC and will do so once again. Gonzaga is a very tough fighter, and, besides being a great heavyweight, he’s developed his technique. I don’t know if it will be my biggest challenge, but it will certainly be one of them.

Most took Silva out of the heavyweight equation after he tested positive for steroids in July 2008, however now that he’s back, you can be sure that “Bigfoot” will be starting his hunt for Strikeforce gold shortly. We are not denying that the UFC holds the highest grade of talent in mixed mar...

Miller is absolutely right, in most cases a late takedown does not result in effective grappling or striking but is just a last ditch effort to try to appeal to the judges and score points. The problem with that being scored has nothing to do with the ten point must system, if either Machida or...

What bothers me more than the decision is the reaction from all parties involved, with the exception of Rua. Shogun showed more class and reserve than I have seen from any fighter in a long , long time. Now it's understandable for Machida's father to stand up for the decision, lets face it your...

If Emelianenko can keep his aura of invincibility rolling by the time White anticipates his “local-show” rivals going under, Fedor will have no choice but to FINALLY sign with the UFC and take on mixed martial arts’ most physically polarizing figure in UFC champ Brock Lesnar.

Shogun Rua . Okay, my Pride side is showing. I must’ve watched the Shogun-Wandy sparring videos online more than I’ve watched actual fights. I couldn’t be happier with Shogun’s ascension in the UFC Light-Heavyweight division, and after his performance against Lyoto Machida at UFC 104, I’...

The Lyoto Machida vs. Shogun Rua light heavyweight title fight at UFC 104 is excellent proof of the evolution of the sport and should be used as a shining example of a fight to show people who don’t think MMA fighters are highly skilled athletes.

Wow! Machida vs. Rua UFC 104 had the best judges in the history of MMA. Oh, wait! Maybe the judging was the worst. Or was it more of the same? I guess that is a matter of opinion. Then again, so is the judge’s decision isn’t it? Some of the analysis and some of the breakdowns have been very insigh...

6. Then, sign the best fighter in the business, pay him a big load of money and then don’t give him an immediate title shot. 7. Have your “best” welterweights fight for the vacant title (the middleweight title of course). 8. Be disrespectful to your fighters, it worked out for Dana White very well.

Unlike it's predecessor "tapout", which represents the action where an opponent submits by tapping on their opponent or the canvas, "stand and bang" is often being associated with mixed martial art bouts that aren't so much about the martial arts and more about being a bar room brawl.

Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar is just one of several dominant champions like Anderson Silva, Lyoto Michida, Georges St. Pierre and BJ Penn. In fact, Lesnar is one of two champions in the UFC that isn't ranked as the world's top fighter in his weight class, the other being BJ Penn.

This match will mark the UFC debut for Ferguson, who in the past received severe ridicule from its president Dana White. “Kimbo” last fought against Roy “Big Country” Nelson as part of the first round of elimination matches on this seasons TUF show, and lost in the second round via TKO to the former IFL heavyweight champ. Alexander is looking to make a big return to the UFC after a short absence due to an injury in the spring forced him from UFC 98.
