A Pleasant Escape to an Alternate Reality

Since the UFC is making fighters sign over the rights to their video game images in perpetuity or else face the wrath, that’s money that will be going straight into the UFC coffers. They won’t even have to offer the fighters a split of it when they make a new game in 2011 that brings in even more...

Video: Dana White’s UFC 94 Fight Night Video Blog

The most interesting part of this UFC 94 video blog comes at around the 9:50 mark, when Dana White becomes clearly upset over the Georges St. Pierre greasing incident and remarks, “Georges is in trouble.” Well, maybe not Georges so much as the cornerman who rubbed him down, though I’m incli...

BJ Penn Quits 'UFC Primetime' Over Negative Portrayal

Well this isn't good. Displeased with his portrayal as a spoiled brat on last week's debut episode of UFC Primetime, BJ Penn has responded by...acting like a spoiled brat. According to MMA Junkie: Penn was apparently unhappy with how he was portrayed in last week's debut of the series, which hy...

UFC 91 Weigh-In Report: Strange New World

Welcome to MMA’s alternate universe. It looks like the MGM Grand the day before UFC 91, but something weird is going on. Junie Browning is getting mobbed in the hotel lobby while Forrest Griffin walks through unmolested. Roger Huerta sits in a bar quietly sipping espresso and no one says a wor...

Video: Countdown to UFC 91 Tonight

“Countdown to UFC 91″ airs tonight on Spike TV at 11 pm EST/PST. In this brief taste we get an idea of what the storyline between Randy Couture and Brock Lesnar is going to be, but somehow it still feels like less than an all-out promotional blitz for an event Dana White predicted would [...]

Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller Retires — Temporarily, At Least

All that aside, it seems like a slightly premature retirement, in the vein of Melvin Manhoef’s. Miller lost his last bout — a decision against Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza at DREAM.4 in June — which snapped a four-fight win streak. His career was highlighted by wins against Denis Kang, Robbie Lawl...

The Potato Index: UFC 89 Aftermath

Leben chased Michael Bisping for three rounds and only got a little frustrated and reckless toward the end. A sign of his maturity? Sure, but also a sign that middleweight gatekeeper is about as high as he can hope to climb. He’s still exciting, so he’s not going anywhere. He also won’t be back i...

The Gambling Man’s Guide to UFC 87

What the hell. Does someone want to explain to me why, on such a loaded pay-per-view, Manny Gamburyan and Rob Emerson is a televised bout? This is an Ultimate Fight Night bout if ever there was one. Was there some kind of scheduling error? Did they decide to fill this spot by throwing darts at th...

Opinion: Ben vs. Ben: The UFC 87 Argument

Goldstein: For me, it’s still the light-heavyweights, mainly because it’s the only division where the champion looks extremely vulnerable. While it’s difficult to establish contenders who are on the level of BJ Penn, GSP, Anderson Silva, and Minotauro Nogueira — and it’s not easy to ge...

Gary Shaw and Doug DeLuca Out of ProElite

Say what you want about Gary Shaw’s love of hyperbole and track suits, but his skill as a promoter took EliteXC from being nothing to being on CBS. Without his direct involvement, CBS was able to put together a cleaner, more professional-looking product last Saturday — but the hype and heat...

UFC to Create Official Rankings?

Numerous media organizations - CagePotato included - have produced rankings of all the fighters and other MMA outfits rank their own fighters. The UFC has refused to rank their fighters, which would at least give us an idea of who might get a title shot soon or how far away a fighter is in gett...

Opinion: You Gotta Be Kidding Me: UFC Bans Affliction?

The last fighter to actually wear Affliction during an event was Georges St. Pierre at UFC 79 where he sported Affliction on his tights and gi. If you review UFC 80 and Wednesday’s Ultimate Fight Night: Swick vs. Burkman, you’ll notice that Affliction was noticeably absent from any fighter’...
