Opinion: Creature vs Creature: Pathetic Tito Begs the Iceman for a Third Beatdown
Here’s what I remember from Ortiz vs Shamrock 3 in 2006. A much older, punch-drunk Shamrock lost with enormous class. A younger Tito won without any. Tito Ortiz, in my less than humble opinion, is a pathetic loser who has embroiled himself in a win-win situation by calling out Chuck Liddel...

The Future of MMA May Depend on Strikeforce: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers

On the other hand, this could be a very good thing for MMA. Either way, the fans (and the fighters) will win, so it’s all good. One thing is for certain. The best fighters in the world are about to get PAID—and like it or not, it could potentially be at the demise of the UFC.

Dan Henderson: The Bobby Hull of MMA?
Dan Henderson is Strikeforce's version of Bobby Hull. But thanks to The Ultimate Fighter, even the most casual of MMA fans is fully aware of Dan Henderson, even if only in his capacity as the coach of Team USA in their battle against Team UK.
Opinion: UFC 6 and Why I Miss The Good Old Days of Tournament-Style Fighting
There were no rounds (20-minute time limits) and despite no biting or eye gouging, the UFC was proud to declare that they had "no rules." The fight reminded me of two things: First, Ken Shamrock used to be an amazing fighter and really was fun to watch. Second, wrestlers couldn’t punch worth...

Opinion: Lesnar/Carwin Postponement Spotlights Major UFC Issue: Too Many Events
But when I see UFC 103 with Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort on top or UFC 105 with Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera as the main event, I cringe—not because I don't want to see those fights—but because those aren't UFC-quality main events that we are used to seeing.
The Machida Error Extends the Machida Era
Consider for a moment Georges St. Pierre. One hiccup in that last four years is all he has had. It was one moment in time set aside for another man to reign atop the division. The short time frame that showed someone other than St. Pierre with the welterweight strap was a mere flash in the pan.

Opinion: UFC vs. Strikeforce: Broadcast Analysis
UFC Stephan Bonnar vs. Mark Coleman was another war, if not the most fast-paced one. Coleman can't beat a good jiu jitsu fighter with any sort of gas tank. The UFC is doing a good job of building Dan Henderson back up for a rematch against Anderson Silva. Does Dan have a chance? Yes.

Opinion: The UFC Is So Much Better Than Advertised: One Match, New Fan
After watching the first match, I immediately watched another, then another, and another. The last one was between Anderson Silva and Rich Franklin—it was on old one (circa 2006), much like the previous matches I watched that night, but no less entertaining.

Opinion: The MMA Q & A: Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy
What one quality does an aspiring young fighter need above all others? Wanderlei Silva vs. Rich Franklin? I think it depends on Alves’ takedown defence. I don’t think GSP will want to stand there and bang with him. It’s a tough one, I’ll go with GSP by unanimous decision.

The Undisputed Review of UFC 2009 Undisputed
Fighters bruise and bleed convincingly, and the knockout physics, while somewhat over the top, are still fun to look at. In all, UFC 2009 Undisputed is the mixed martial arts game that fans of the sport have been awaiting for a long time.
UFC 2009: Undisputed Review
Minus a few wrong turns here and there, it could very well be you lining up across George St. Pierre for the welterweight title. Or maybe in your case, lining up across Brock Lesnar for the heavyweight title (since they don’t make a super-ultra-heavyweight division).

Evans Vs. Machida UFC 98: Fight Prediction
I think Machida will control the pace of the fight as he has been doing in all of his UFC fights. Evans always starts very cautiously as seen in the Ortiz, Liddell and Griffin fights. Rashad likes to measure his opponent than attack, as he demonstrated with Chuck and Griffin.

I Feel Sorry For Brock Lesnar
I should start by saying I think Brock Lesnar works hard enough to excel in the UFC. The concern I have is how fast he jumped into the top of the heavyweight division. He is very large, athletic, and has heavy hands which is a bonus for him. However he has very little experience in MMA.
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.
