Opinion: TUF Heavyweights: Fights Don't Meet The Hype

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.

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

This may very well be one of the most important moments in the history of the sport. There is always someone declaring this or that event the biggest in the history of the UFC, but honestly this is bigger than the UFC. This event could change the face of MMA if the dice roll right.

Opinion: Ladies and Gentleman, Fedor Emelianenko

Rounding out the CBS card is another heavyweight match-up, this one between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champ Fabricio Werdum and Brazilian behemoth Antonio Silva. Silva is big in a circus-freak kind of way, but he should be no match for Werdum’s submission game. This one is ending by tap out.

Opinion: Brent Wilson talks MMA judging and why ten point must system isn't the problem

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...

Opinion: Rua Vs Machida Had the Best and Worst Officiating Ever?

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...

Opinion: In the Red Corner at Xtreme Courage Fighting Championship's Havoc

See, this isn't your run of the mill, flashy casino style event. This was MMA at its purist. Master Shane Dunagan would not have it any other way. He prides himself on the exciting fights he puts on. These fights are a direct result of his hard work to pair up fighters that are equal in talent an...
