Based on the premise that all MMA rankings are subjective but that it’s still useful and informative to know who the online MMA community as a whole ranks as the best fighters in MMA, we collect and average the rankings of the top MMA websites to produce our consensus rankings. Show more "
Ortiz went on to beat up Ken Shamrock not once, but twice before Chuck Liddell obliterated him for a second time. He later drew Rashad Evans in a dreadful fight, followed by getting the Mexican beaten out of him by Lyoto Machida at UFC 84. Since then, Ortiz has been busy teasing Strikeforce,...
Women's Division (135 lbs.): Kim Couture (1-1) vs. Kerry Vera (1-0) SBN coverage of Strikeforce Challengers: Woodley vs. Bears Light Heavyweight: Rafael Cavalcante (7-2) vs. Aaron Rosa (12-2) Middleweight: Kevin Casey (2-1) vs. Chad Vance (5-3)
4 Kenny Florian takes on #18 Clay Guida at UFC 107. Florian is in a bit of a career cul-de-sac after losing his second title fight to B.J. Penn at UFC 101, a win over the very tough Guida will keep Florian in the upper-ranks of the division. Conversely, a win for Guida could put the popular scrapper i...
One of the highly-anticipated battles that will take place at UFC 106 will be a welterweight showdown between rising star Anthony "Rumble" Johnson (8-2, 5-2 UFC) and UFC veteran and The Ultimate Fighter Season 1 contestant Josh Koscheck (13-4, 11-4 UFC). The bout will feature the Sansho...
10 Yoshihiro Akiyama is expected to headline UFC 110 against legend Wanderlei Silva. This fight, at the UFC's Australian debut will also air during prime-time in Japan and South Korea. Akiyama was a crucial acquisition for the UFC, a true star in Asia, who has shown the ability to hang in the...

The sport of mixed martial arts definitely takes some aspects of its inner workings from the pro wrestling world. Fighters playing the role of "heel" in the lead-up to fights, but then hugging each other after a three-round war is a frequent occurrence in this sport, and the back-and-fort...
5 Forrest Griffin will headline UFC 106 against #25 Tito Ortiz this weekend. This is another fight that was a substitute for a substitute. Originally Ortiz was to return to the UFC against Mark Colemn, but Coleman's injury created the opening for the Griffin match. Heavyweight Champ Brock L...
There are myriad qualities that make Jose Aldo such a special fighter. I encourage readers to list what they believe sets him apart in the comments. I'll get to what really stands out for me in a moment, but AOL Fanhouse's Mike Chiappetta does a nice job of recounting what happened yesterday e...
Kaitlin Young returns to MMA on December 11: Kaitlin will face Shana Olsen (1-0 MMA) on December 11th at an event in Welch, Minnesota. Both women fight out of Minnesota ...Shana is 4-0 in Muay Thai. HT: MMARising.com
5 Junior Dos Santos will be tested by #16 Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 108. If Dos Santos can beat Gonzaga he will be well placed for a title shot, pending the resolution of the title situation. Nominal Strikeforce champ #11 Alistair Overeem is expected to return to Strikeforce in 2010 to defend hi...
While I doubt either man will be put on the spot with a title shot following the rematch between Machida and Rua, the winner should be in line for a shot at a top five opponent in the division and the potential to become a title contender. After all, the UFC has always liked the concept of a new fac...
One of the fights to keep an eye on will be a battle between The Ultimate Fighter Season 7 finalist Jesse Taylor (13-4) and rising prospect and American Kickboxing Academy-trained Luke Rockhold (5-1). Taylor is coming off an unanimous decison loss to Jay Hieron at Strikeforce: Carano vs....
The first screenshots of EA's new MMA game appear in Sports Illustrated this week (anybody got a sub?) but one screenshot has been posted on Facebook by EA Sports and is currently featured on videogame blog Kotaku. It shows Fedor arm-barring a character that I would guess is Randy Coutur...
Ben Henderson: At an early age I was into taekwondo and I think my love for grappling arts just evolved from that. I love jiu-jitsu and wrestling, and I have been training with some of the best striking coaches available. I feel like my entire game is evolving.
A UFC/WEC merger is inevitable at this point in my mind. The UFC is suffering from a main event shortage, and introducing two new titles into the mix would help them handle a schedule that gets heavier every year. With Rampage apparently retiring, Matt Hughes a loss away from retirement, a...
Wagnney began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) when he was three years old. He competed in his first tournament when he was just four years old. He has earned the rank of third degree Black Belt in BJJ, under Wendell Alexander and Andre Pederneiras. Wagnney also trained in BJJ under Renz...
In an interview over at Bleacher Report, E. Spencer Kyte sat down with the legal counsel of the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (NJSACB) in Nick Lembo. Most fans have heard of Lembo as he's involved heavily with the mixed martial arts scene on the east coast, and he has been in the new...
7) Diego Sanchez vs. Kenny Florian 2 - Kenny Florian's improved quite a bit since he appeared on The Ultimate Fighter, where he fought at middleweight. But just how much has he improved? The best way to find out is to put him up against Diego, who creamed him at the original TUF finale.
Giving up the belt and moving to light heavyweight seems to be the only way for Silva to finish his current UFC contract, leave the UFC, and fight Roy Jones Jr. So, is this the beginning of the end for Anderson Silva in MMA? If so, is it possible he'd come back to the UFC after a fight with Jones?
Everything about the UFC is aimed towards this certain demographic of sheeple who dont cuestion the packaging of the product. When Pride was around we used to get fightcards with like 7-8 fights guaranteed in a 3 hour pay per view ! Nobody really complained when all of a sudden it dropped d...
Interestingly enough, Fedor Emelianenko has gone from taking on Josh Barnett, the USAT/SBN MMA rankings consensus, but arguable #2 ranked heavyweight in the world, to fighting either non-top ten competition or fighters moving up in weight. Where's the upside in the current situation...
Let's review. First Jones used the wrestling phase of the game -- a fake shoot -- to get O'Brien in position to catch him with a spinning elbow -- a second phase of the game, striking -- then when O'Brien reacted by shooting for the take down, Jones used his wrestling to stuff the shoot and set up...
I may actually lay down on Saffiedine in this match-up. He has five out of his six wins via submission in the first round, so he has the grappling acumen to pull off quick submissions. Ikemoto isn't exactly an easy guy to defeat, and looking at his overall record isn't going to help you determin...
4 There are always intriguing storylines to follow in MMA. Young vs. old, style vs. style, power vs. technique. In poker, there is rarely a storyline to follow. Occasionally we run across a guy like Moneymaker that has a good story, but nothing like "PRIDE vs. UFC" or "Ortiz vs. Liddell."
This fight introduced the term "Ground and Pound" to the MMA universe. Coleman wasn't the first wrestler with serious amateur credentials to enter the UFC, that honor goes to Dan Severn. But Coleman was the first wrestler to combine his finely honed position control skills with a brutal an...
If you'll forgive me for getting all meta, there are a couple of interesting pieces today about the way rumors fly about the Internet. In both cases, misinformation was spread about fighters, in one case by a traditional newspaper and in the other by a fairly obscure web site. In both cases, i...
Of course there are biases with any rivalry between companies, but this seems to be less logical. Pretty much every MMA company has nearly the same exact rules, each with their own superb roster of fighters. I can't help but feel like we're a bunch of 11 year olds bickering about whether WWF...
He's easily the most popular Japanese fighter to fight in the U.S. for an American promotion in the history of modern MMA. Dave Meltzer explains: Akiyama is, with the exception of only Kid Yamamoto, the biggest television ratings draw of Japanese MMA fighters, he is also hated in the country.
4) People completely disregard the term "developing fighter" when they judge a win. Is Brock Lesnar the same fighter today that he was two years ago? I don`t think so. Was Kenny Florian the same fighter three years ago? No. Is Rich Clementi the same fighter as three years ago? Yes. Matt Serra? Hm...
Fedor Emelianenko KO's Andrei Arlovski, Affliction Day of Reckoning (1/24/2009) Lyoto Machida KO's Thiago Silva, UFC 94 (1/31/2009) Matt Hamill KO's Mark Munoz, UFC 96 (3/7/2009) Lyoto Machida KO's Rashad Evans, UFC 98 (5/23/2009)
Fundamentally, the 10 point must system is a bolt-on from boxing that has little if anything to do with MMA. It has many defenders, but I personally believe that the Japanese judging criteria is a better fit for MMA -- in theory if not always in execution.
Masvidal was defeating Imada before getting caught in the unorthodox inverted triangle choke, so I imagine Reynolds won't be much of a test barring another crazy submission. Like the Alvarez line, I'm not too keen on placing that much money in a matchup to win so little.
The review isn't particularly in depth nor is this the timeliest review of released content I've ever seen, but in the wake of this FanPost (which confirms identical experiences to mine) I thought I'd post this sentiment from the L.A. Times reviewer: Let's make something perfectly clear:...
Baker hasn't been the most impressive fighter for a guy who holds a 9-1 record with his lone loss being to UFC fighter Chael Sonnen, but he has enough power and good enough wrestling to gain top control to pound opponents. Horwich is mostly known for surviving against tough competition. He ha...
More frequently than not, when a new fighter creeps into the rankings, I'll take a close look at our reported professional W-L-D record for the fighter. Verifying the records sounds straightforward, right? Wrong. Sherdog: 34-9 Sherdog: 4-3-2
MMA fans received an early Christmas present at Dream 9. Instead of the usual drab banter between Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten, we had the pleasure of listening to Michael Schiavello call the action. A 13-year veteran at the ripe young age of 34, Schiavello has called kickboxing, Muay Thai, a...
Ultimate Fighting is for Nazis." Werner Schneyder spreads ridiculous thoughts on prime time TV. He wasn’t able to utter "Martial Arts". He simply couldn’t do it. Ultimate Fighting is for Nazis who go out and stomp people in the gutter."
Over the past weekend, the Art of War 12: Invincible show in Beijing, China featured some of the biggest stars in MMA and BJJ. The show was announced by Michael Buffer, referreed by BIg John McCarthy, and had an unbelievable number of other stars. The people that I can personally confirm incl...
Miletich, the first-ever UFC welterweight champion and a world class mixed martial arts trainer, had been serving as the company's Vice President of Fighter Relations. Additionally, he had recently made multiple appearances on ESPN.com's weekly MMA show "MMA Live" on behalf of WAMMA.
David Brooks, something of a conservative columnist for the New York Times, has an interesting piece this morning on the personality traits and characteristics common among successful CEOs as determined by a slew of academic studies. I don't post this to endorse any of the ideas necessa...
When Bowles fell out, Joe Silva and I were talking, and we just said, 'Let's just get the toughest sonofabitch we can find. We owed that to Miguel Torres, because Miguel doesn't like easy fights. So I thought Mizugaki was an opponent the hard-cores would like. Not a lot of people knew about him i...
It's an interesting dynamic that the best concepts are usually hashed by the simplest of downtime conversations. Rooted by a desire to shatter a negative perception about mixed martial arts, ESPN staffers Kieren Portley and Anthony Mormile, their working relationship rooted in 2005,...
Oh..and Liddell’s involvement makes it a reasonable review for an MMA site. Contributing Editor - BloodyElbow.com - SBNation's mixed martial arts headquarters. Awesome, my friend and I did the same thing. Wish I had known about the BE one. ... Deadliest Warrior Student Life all 2 news articles
Because all good endings have a great beginning, you just have to blame some of the damage dealt to mixed martial arts growth on EliteXC. They began with a group of money hungry leaders who knew nothing but money signs and ended up leaving a group of fighters without food on there tables and a s...
Brett Rogers (8-0) vs. Ron Humphries (5-0): In a battle of undefeated fighters, Rogers looks to continue his dominating performances and make a name for himself in the Heavyweight division by steamrolling yet another tough competitor in Humphries.
After attempting to join the 2004 U.S. Olympic wrestling team, Maynard considered retirement, until he was recruited to be a sparring partner for mixed martial arts fighter and current UFC Lightweight Champion B. J. Penn. The exposure to the sport awakened a monster inside Maynard, and he so...
I love Frank Mir the Commentator. In my opinion, he’s the best English-speaking, regular MMA broadcaster right now. However, he turned in an absolutely brutal performance during the Torres-Mizugaki main event. If you had no clue how to judge a fight, you would have scored the fight 50-4...
Now that his wrestling career is over Kyle is looking to make the move to Mixed Martial Arts. He first tried to fight in his home state of Georgia but was denied by the athletic commission. Now he has left that in the past to make is amateur MMA debut in Georgia's neighboring state, Alabama. Alaba...
Aside from a very messy acronym, that is. Apparently, the fight between Tuchscherer and Hinkle was for the SNMMA Heavyweight Title. If you are anything like me, your first thought was, "Oh great, another WAMMA." However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that "SNMMA" stands for "Sovere...
This is a solid piece by Jordan Breen, and it hits home on the points that hardcore fans love to hear and watch as MMA fans. The article goes on to talk about some of the specific matchmaking. Omigawa, who is managed by J-Rock (J-Rock management essentially runs Sengoku), wasn't given an easy o...
3) Most top fighters don't fight each other: In MMA Weekly's current top 10 list at 205 pounds, Lyoto Machida has fought exactly one guy there, and it's a guy I don't think has any business being considered one of the 10 best fighters in the world.
Certainly, at some point female mixed martial artists deserve to be ranked like their male counterparts. Breen highlights several key difficulties which make the ranking of women nearly impossible if your goal is, in fact, to develop an honest pecking order of the top fighters. This is...
Demian Maia Demian Maia is no ordinary Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt. He is a Jiu-Jitsu Machine. Compiling up ten victories in ten fights, all by submission, he is truly a master of the world of submission grappling. And he is quickly mastering the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.
Anyone who watches MMA Live on ESPN.com knows that I am fair when talking about UFC, Strikeforce, Affliction etc . . . or any of the fighters. In the most recent episode, I spoke about Joe Lauzon's dominant win over Stephens. Joe has spoken negatively about me in several interviews lately but I cal...
I've also seen people criticize Florian for being a shill on MMA Live, which is classic selection bias. This week on the show, he said it was great news that Strikeforce got the deal and that all these fighters would have a place to fight. He then followed up praising Joe Lauzon, who has gone a...

It's no secret that I'm a total mark for Victory Belt's body of work. Co-authors Erich Krauss and Glen Cordoza have also done books with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Randy Couture, B.J. Penn, Karo Parisyan, and Anderson Silva and I've enjoyed them all.
UFC events are usually watched live by a large audience at a venue, such as a casino, and also beamed live via pay-per-view to homes and packed bars across North America. UFC fighters don't wear any form of protection, aside from fingerless padded gloves, and compete inside a caged ring unt...
Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Frank Shamrock, Kazushi Sakuraba, Frank Shamrock, Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture and Bob Sapp get the most attention. Yes, Bob Sapp has a full chapter dedicated to his career. Flipping through the table of contents I was a little non-plussed to see th...
After watching this PPV, I am terribly excited for next year!! I do have some concerns, but overall I am ready to see MMA take over the world. Whether it be the UFC, Affliction or Strikeforce. It doesn't matter, they all work together whether they want to admit or not.
Things could eventually change. The higher-ups at HDNet could work out some last minute deal with the organization and actually broadcast this event live but the fact that they haven't done so already is something that truly bothers me not only as a fan of Mixed Martial Arts but a fan of tele...
Though it is no surprise that there are celebrities out there who like MMA and there are those who even train in a martial art as a hobby it does sound sort of strange to hear. The most notable celebrities I can think of who love MMA or martial arts and even train for fun, besides Joe Rogan and Kevi...
We have some cash, are slowly building a name, and have a tentative time range for an event. Here is what I think a company should do next: Book a very solid main event. I know that MMA isnt boxing and you need a solid undercard but here is where I see alot of promotions start to struggle. Elite XC put...
I'm at peace with my life." - Brock Lesnar, on entering his fight with Randy Couture tonight at UFC 91. (MMA Junkie) Randy recovers an early F-5 to TKO Brock [in the] third." - Zac George Once I’m in the UFC, my first adversary will be Anderson Silva." - Chael Sonnen, dead man walking. (Gracie Mag)
Speaking of which, the main event on that show is former WWE champion Brock Lesnar against Randy Couture. Lesnar and fellow ex-WWE superstar Bobby Lashley – who is scheduled to make his MMA debut next month – are the most recent examples of pro wrestlers who have ventured into MMA. Over the pa...
“The Collateral includes all contracts between any Debtor and mixed martial arts fighters (including, but not limited to, Kevin Ferguson a.k.a. “Kimbo Slice“, Gina Carano, Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler, Frank Shamrock, Antonio Silva, Brett Rogers, Dave Herman, Scott Smith, Nick Diaz, C...
Do I think that fighters deserve more than they get? Yes! But I have a different prescription than most for that happening. This is a solution that I've devised to quell two burning desires that I have for the sport: to see the top twenty in every weight class fighting under the UFC/WEC bann...
First, no one is equating this with StandGate (at least I am not). The point about Kimbo is not his last fight's unethical nature, but the promotion as a "street fighter" he received irrespective of his late ignoble stand. It's about what sort of message his presence and stature as a street br...
During my live broadcast of MMA Nation from the Patriot Center on Saturday I was fortunate enough to sit down with WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber and WEC Welterweight champion Carlos Condit. We talked about potential dream match-ups, whose next in line for them to fight, predic...
Like B.J. Penn's MMA Book of Knowledge and Randy Couture's Wrestling for Fighting, Judo for MMA is very well done -- great pictures, excellent organization, and very clear step-by-step instructions for executing each throw, strike, takedown or submission.
Today on the "Big O & Dukes Show" on 106.7 WJFK two of the fighters competing on tomorrow's UWC: Confrontation card appeared in studio to chat MMA, Kimbo Slice, the UFC, MMA on ESPN (or lack thereof) and even video games. Click here to listen to the whole thing.
Tony Kornheiser: I have to tell ya, I have no sense of the so-called rules, or the MMA rules. I don't know how it works. Here's pretty much what I know: that he was supposed to fight a guy named Shamrock... MW: They do this in boxing all the time. Someone would win in 35 seconds, they'd be, "Rematch!"
No," he responded. "Look, even the UFC gives knockout bonuses. Everyone gives knockout bonuses. There’s knockout bonuses, submission bonuses, all sorts of bonuses. I just wanted to keep it standing because I felt I could beat (Kimbo) at his own game."

AS AMERICAN TOP TEAM TURNS Well you know it's still America. There's racial undertones in America and that's no secret." - UFC Light Heavyweight title contender Rashad Evans, answering a question about racism at MMA events (Big O and Dukes)
There have already been ugly (and since denied) rumors about CBS attempting to force Gina Carano to fight on their July card but I can only imagine the kind of freak shows we'll see if CBS gets complete control. Kimbo Slice vs Ken Shamrock could be just the beginning....wonder if Giant Silva is av...
Chad Dukes of 106.7 WJFK attended UFC 88 in Atlanta and in this interview with Evans asked if he believed racism or racial preference played a role in who MMA fans (it must be assumed - quite rightly - Dukes felt most fans were white) root for or support.
Chcuk Liddell was favored because he was the face of the MMA and a good fighter, not because he was white. Chuck Liddell was and is an enetertaining guy. He didn't commit a crime like Michael Vick, so I think it's still acceptable for white folks to like him. Just as blacks still support MV, despi...
Britt, a product of Virginia Beach’s Hybrid Academy of Martial Arts, is best known for his concrete hands and knock-out ability. The agile striker recently shed more than 30 pounds to enter the light heavyweight division. An acute cage presence and tenacious fighting ability caught the...
The Penn vs. Slice "fantasy match-up" is the product of UFC President Dana White's comment just prior to EliteXC's debut on CBS. White remarked that BJ Penn could defeat Slice in a MMA bout. The effort of White was to disparage Slice's talent level by suggesting a lightweight fighter in the UF...
The Heat" from Armenia joined the show and talked about his UFC 88 opponent Yoshiyuki "Zenko" Yoshida, judo in MMA, his newfound training regime, losing to Thiago Alves, being called a "gate keeper" by UFC President Dana White and much more. Listen to the whole interview here.
PS - apparently, this post must contain 75 words minimum, so allow me to wax eloquent upon why the Adam Carolla Show is so good. It's intelligent, it's funny, it's irreverent, and it's honest. His sidekicks are his intellectual equal, and the show stays away from the stupid morning zoo cr...
If you missed yesterday's MMA Nation, I'll help you out: Loretta Hunt was on hand to talk about Randy Couture, his new book, her involvement and more. Right up until her cell phone cut out, it was a money interview. MMA Nation podcasts are up and running and available via iTunes.
For those who may have missed it, podcasts by segment are now available from this past weekend's MMA Nation episode. I also spoke with Heath Herring as he prepares for his fight with Brock Lesnar at UFC 87 on August 9th. Click here to listen.
Josh and I talked about the WAMMA belt, Affliction's weak advertising efforts, Affliction vs. UFC, Rampage Jackson, Dana White's responsibility to MMA and his fight with Hidehiko Yoshida. I am a complete moron for forgetting Barnett left AMC Pankration for Erik Paulson's CSW, so please...
My prediction for Thursday is this: White will announce next that the UFC has signed a long-term agreement with FOX to televise fights on a quarterly basis on network primetime television along with a option to buy a portion of the company over time. I’m betting that the first show will be th...
Pro Elite did not do incredible numbers or anything, but the show's growth was spectacular. When the XFL debuted, it did a great number at first, but the ratings signs were immediately ominous. The debut game started losing viewers in the second quarter, indicating that people were comp...
ATH's discussion was largely benign - with the exception of the completely irrelevant Jay Mariotti saying the card reminded him of professional wrestling "with a little more realism," host Tony Reali and the panel came off sounding as though they'd done at least a bit of research. Woody P...
Big thanks to VERSUS for asking this site to help out with just a few questions for a special podcast the network held (Sam Caplan moderated) to preview the upcoming Faber vs. Pulver match-up. For reasons I cannot possibly fathom, some folks are sleeping on this incredible fight, but Sam ask...
For a variety of reasons, today is a big day for this site. I'm arguably the most imperfect EIC in history, but I do my best to put everything I have into this site so that someone offers thoughtful, dedicated fans of mixed martial arts a place to go in the blogosphere.
Slice is obviously a star and the buzz surrounding him at the moment is probably greater than any other fighter. But from a global perspective, one could make the case that Hidehiko Yoshida or even Denis Kang are more popular (this is another debate for another time). What's most important,...
DREAM.3 wasn't a bad way to kill nearly five hours on a Sunday afternoon. But aside from a fight of the year candidate between Eddie Alvarez and Joachim Hansen, what was so great about it? DREAM might have similar look to PRIDE; use a lot of its unique elements such as the Grand Prix format; and u...
Bas and Kenny review the April 29th DREAM 2 event from Japan and preview the latest MMA movie Redbelt. Guests include former pro wrestling champion and Hall of Fame inductee "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, former lightweight boxing champion Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, and MMA filmmaker Bobby Razak.
Your's truly got the opportunity to speak with the two main event fighters of UFC Fight Night 13 recently. Florian talked a lot of BJ Penn and why Lauzon might think he's Penn (to his detriment). Lauzon defended his mentor and explained why he's as good a coach as he is a fighter.
