Mir-Lesnar II Is an Inevitable Showdown, But Its Delay May Lead to Another Treat
With the failed signing of No. 1 ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko in '07, all eyes were on Couture and Nogueira as the next big fight. But of course, with Couture's temporary exit from the UFC to pursue Fedor, the fight was not to be, at least not then.

A Fight With Bobby Lashley! What Is Ken Shamrock Thinking?
Of course, since Roy Jones is a boxer, it is possible that the March 21 fights he is promoting, will take place in a ring. And what is even more important, in spite of them both being 45 years old, Ken Shamrock is not a Randy Couture either.

Yushin Okami: The Elephant in the Octagon
The sport of mixed martial arts is no exception. A popular fighter like Randy Couture sells PPV cards, which translates into big fights. Many fans feel that Couture has had a “cherry picked’ career, being given favorable fights, even title fights, whenever he wants because of his stardom.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) for Dummies, Part One
Dirty boxing is just like it sounds, and UFC Hall-of-Famer Randy Couture is one of the best practitioners. Other fighting styles utilized in the clinch are Muay Thai, Greco-Roman wrestling (see Dan Henderson,) Sambo (see Fedor Emelianenko,) and Judo.

UFC Nighty Night
This promises to be an incredible stand up war. The unbeaten Carwin is a giant and looks to be a real contender for the heavyweight throne. Whoever leaves the octagon the victor should find himself named as the number-one heavyweight contender.
Last Stand for "Iceman" Chuck Liddell
However, Ortiz did not want to fight Liddell. To force Ortiz's hand, the UFC created an interim light heavyweight championship between Liddell and Randy Couture. Liddell lost by TKO in the final round. Tito Ortiz finally agreed to fight Liddell in UFC 47. Liddell knocked out Ortiz in the seco...

Stevenson Vs Sanchez: 'Daddy' Has 'Nightmare'
The UFC equivalent of Lopez, is likely Diego 'Nightmare' Sanchez. During his run on The Ultimate Fighter, he dazzled us with his slick moves. When he won, he was seen as a potential star. And for a fighter who was seen as a title contender, this was a big blow. How was he going to ever contend for a...
Opinion: The UFC's Euro Bonanza and Beyond
It is not unrealistic that the UFC will segment their U.S and International operations at some point. Imagine a day when the UFC has both a U.S. light heavyweight champion and an International light heavyweight champion. They could co-promote a title fight to crown a true world champion.

UFC 97: A Case of Canadian Retribution?
It seemed like a lot of people, Keith Kizer, Chuck Liddell, Dana and all the Penns' lawyers and all the king's men did not realize that the wording was different in the Las Vegas MMA rules than those used in Chuck's home state of California.

Fedor Emelianenko: What to Do After he Beats Josh Barnett?
Whether he goes to Japan for possible fights with Alistair Overreem or Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, or finally comes to terms with the UFC for matches with the likes of Randy Couture, Brock Lesnar, or Frank Mir, I would hope that Fedor won't just wait for the next tomato can Affliction will th...
Potential Issues for UFC 97 in Montreal?
These current regulations are instituted for boxing, kickboxing and “mixed boxing” competitions, which would included events using wrestling and jujitsu techniques. The UFC also held UFC 83 in Montreal under the unified rules last year without any problems from the QBC.

The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Frank Mir
The rematch saw Mir knock out Wes in the second round. Those two victories made him the new number one contender for Tim Sylvia's heavyweight belt. He was the number one contender to Antonio Minotauro Nogueria's belt. The build up would involve coaching opposite teams on The Ultimate Fighte...
The Un(dercard)sung Heroes of UFN 17
Of course, those bouts each had an instant draw to them; Miller’s triangle choke was deemed “Submission of the Night,” with Burkman and Hazelett being awarded “Fight of the Night” honors for their performances. Such is the case for “Ultimate Fighter 7” alum Matthew Riddle, who moved to 2-...
Why Couldn't Thiago Alves Fight Jon Fitch Next?
Thiago is brutal with his Muay Thai skills, and Matt Hughes, his last victim, can certainly attest to the power in his knees. A fight with either Mike Swick or Jon Fitch would serve to get Thiago in shape for his big fight and possibly give him and edge. Either Swick or Fitch are powerful opponen...

Kenny Florian: The Anatomy of a Champion
Stevenson and Florian fought at UFC 91 and Kenny dominated Stevenson as if he was a newcomer in MMA. Kenny Florian solidified his spot as the number one contender at 155 pounds with the victory and should fight the UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn in his next fight.

Evans won season two of the Ultimate Fighter, and is now the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. He is still undefeated, and an amazing wrestler with knockout power. Under the radar until through 2007, Alves blew onto the scene in 2008 with knockout wins over Matt Hughes and Karo Parisyan. A win o...
Dana White: Savior of the UFC Deserves Better
Still, it should be noted that Dana White has made stars out of men like Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Andrei Arlovski, Tim Sylvia, and Matt Hughes, just to name a few. Fedor Emelianenko has been the number-one heavyweight fighter in the world for years, and is considered among...

Affliction 2, Winter Ales Fest, UFC 92
Way too long past UFC 92 to write masses about it, so will just comment briefly. The big three fights of the night didn’t disappoint, obviously the big story was Rashad Evans defeating Forrest Griffin to win the light-heavyweight title, which came as a bit of a surprise given how the fight wa...

Fedor KOs Arlovski at Day of Reckoning
I’d love for Affliction to be able to stay around because, even though its not the UFC, it’s good to get something different with quality fights on it from time to time. Even if they just put a show on 2-3 times a year when Fedor fights I don’t care. Affliction is about the only way we’ll see Fedor i...

Rashad Evans vs. Rampage Jackson: It's Official-ish
I like this as a main event, because without it there was talk of Chuck Liddell vs….someone. Chuck was rumoured for the main event, but without a big name to step up, nothing really excited me. Anderson Silva is staying at 185 for his next fight, most of the 205ers we’d like to see are already figh...

Opinion: The Ultimate Ultimate and January's Action
Another notable fight (outside the UFC) is going to be the Fedor vs. Arlovski fight put on by Affliction. This has great potential and Affliction has shown already that they can put together a great card. I have great expectations for this event. I think out of most of the viable competitors in M...
The Ultimate Fighter: The Case For Keeping The Show Going-Part 1
Rashad Evans: 7-0-1. He first started out as a Heavyweight, but he was a small one so he cut to Light Heavyweight and his career began taking off.

Fedor Emelianenko couldn’t do it. Josh Barnett couldn’t do it. Mirko Cro Cop couldn’t do it and either could Tim Sylvia or Heath Herring. But Jiu Jitsu stylist Frank Mir became the first man to stop Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira with strikes in the second round of their five round clash for the Inte...
UFC 92 Results and Thoughts
Rashad Evans in underrated. He is a great striker with great wrestling skills. He is a force to be reckoned with in the UFC. He is now the UFC light heavyweight champ and maybe the best light heavyweight in the world. He boasts wins over Michael Bisping, Chuck Liddell, and Forrest Griffin. F...
