Opinion: Being Thankful for the UFC

24 Nov 2008 04:43:29 PST

Written by Luke Thomas
It may be de rigueur to harass management for their business practices, but there’s little merit in claiming that any other company provides the sheer quality, quantity and in-cage integrity of Zuffa’s Ultimate Fighting Championship. In a year where we’ve seen some truly heinous behav...

Opinion: American Top Team President Sides With UFC Regarding Fitch Fiasco

20 Nov 2008 15:44:12 PST

Written by subo
If the other agents and fighter's representatives thought they a) had a chance to get the contract provision nullified in court, b) could take down the UFC and Dana or c) possibly could prop up another corrupt MMA org with big-name fighters, I think we'd be seeing them all unite on the UFC'...

Written by bfowlkes
Josh Hendricks had a tough draw against Gabriel Gonzaga and he got outclassed big time. He was never in the fight and probably still doesn’t remember how it ended. Rafael Dos Anjos was on his way to a decision victory until he let himself get caught by a punch everyone but him saw coming. Can’t bl...

Opinion: Live at UFC 91

Written by Michael Rome
I loudly predicted Randy Couture would defeat Brock Lesnar, and obviously I have to eat humble pie. For the first round, the fight went as I expected. Lesnar took him down, but Randy was able to fight his way back up. After the round, I still believed Randy could win. He essentially stuffed B...

16 Nov 2008 13:52:08 PST

Written by Josh Nason
It would have been hard for any promotion to live up to the marketing hype that UFC 91 had going into it and even though Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture wasn't a five round classic, it marked something almost as important: the passing of a torch to what could be the next great heavyweight fighte...

Opinion: Brock Lesnar: UFC Heavyweight Champion [Editorial]

16 Nov 2008 08:12:43 PST

Written by Eric Shapiro
Whether you were rooting for Couture or Lesnar tonight, two key questions are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Can Lesnar defeat the winner of Mir vs. Nogueira, and will Randy Couture be back yet again? (and if so, at what weight class?)

Randy Couture may not speak in brash tones but the people around him certainly are as he readies to defend his heavyweight title at UFC 91. His wife Kim and coach Shawn Tompkins have had plenty to say about Brock Lesnar's trash talk. Tompkins told Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal that...

Opinion: UFC 90 feedback

Hey Dave, I give UFC 90 a thumbs up. Even though it was pretty disappointing seeing the main event end the way that it did. It would have great to see how much longer Cote could have made it.Best match: Sean Sherk vs. Tyson Griffin It was also great to see Junior dos Santos knock out Werdum like that. W...

Gabriel Gonzaga's KO of Mirko Cro Cop is a shining example of how the best laid plans often work out in a manner you hadn't intended. Cro Cop was being built up for an August 2007 heavyweight title fight with champion Randy Couture, but Gonzaga threw a wrench into those plans with a perfect hig...

Opinion: Blinded by the light … er … right: Update on Heath Herring UFC 87 ‘orbital fracture’

14 Aug 2008 16:35:01 PDT

Written by Adam Wagner
Personally, I thought Lesnar looked like a child, or at least an idiot. But then again, I enjoy the Thiago Silva throat slit or even the Tito Ortiz cemetery burial from time to time. It wasn’t so much Lesnar’s rodeo roping as it was the pointing and laughing.

The fact that GSP couldn’t finish Fitch is a testament to Jon’s enormous heart. Fitch was rocked and dropped several times and consistently took a beating throughout the fight. But, he never quit and never stopped moving forward. Although Fitch displayed true spirit, GSP was never in any re...

UFC 87 Review: Brock Lesnar Steamrolled Heath Herring

10 Aug 2008 06:34:49 PDT

Written by Kierkegaard
Something I haven't yet seen much comment on is the knees. I was impressed with Lesnar's use of the knees when he had Herring down. More people should take advantage of those knees to the body and kidneys; devastating shots -- just ask Matt Serra how devastating they can be.

WAMMA does indeed have the potential to make it happen, but they are also facing incredibly difficult odds. I find the idea of a sanctioning body in a sport based heavily on the professional wrestling business model to be an incongruity, notwithstanding that the key player in the matter - t...

Fight Critic: Reviewing UFC Fight Night 13

I feel bad for Houston. I know a lot of people are disappointed but I guess I have a PRIDE mentality when it comes to him because I'll support the guy no matter what. And for all those claiming that his spot in the UFC is in peril, I think you have no clue. After having lost Sylvia, Cro Cop, and Couture...
