An MMA Thanksgiving

It may not be very curmudgeonly, but there are a number of things to be thankful for as an MMA fan. The sport as a whole is struggling, but the UFC is bigger and better than ever. While the Japanese Indy scene (Pancrase, SHOOTO, DEEP) has reached an all-time low, the WEC acts as a reasonable Ame...

[F]EDOR IS COMING; Are you Ready, Andrei?

ShareThis The big questions right now seem to revolve around Affliction; will this second show finally happen? Will it draw? Can Fedor vs. Arlovski break 20,000 buys? The first time they attempted to run this show it was with Josh Barnett vs. Andrei Arlovski headlining, and apparently tic...

Couture/Liddell IV: Why should I care?

ShareThis Ever since UFC 91, the rumors of Couture/Liddell IV being made for a German debut have been rampant. To many, it is a “megafight” pitting the two biggest names in the UFC’s recent history once again doing battle, this time to determine a challenger to the heavyweight crown. And y...

Andrew Wallace does Strikeforce: Destruction

After the main event, there are non-televised dark matches but I opt for the press conference! I have never even been to a press conference before! Dave Meltzer and I get lost together and it is my life’s dream. A magical moment. Also wandering around backstage, I come into spitting distance...

Opinion: UFC 91: Lesnar vs. Couture

Nobody, huh? Then let’s dispense with the idea that Randy Couture, whose entire career consists of ground and pound TKOs and judges’ decisions, will at this late date turn into a knockout puncher or submission finisher. Brock Lesnar is, unquestionably, an extremely limited fighter. ...

UFC 89: So Live That It Hurts

Main Event: Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben Michael Bisping hasn’t FOUGHT a striker of Leben’s caliber! Uh-huh. I think he fought a striker of Leben’s caliber when he fought Matt Hammil, honestly. Leben talks like he’s a pro wrestler, but his cliches seem extra-hokey.

Surprise! Affliction and EXC Cohabitate

ShareThis In a move that has to be considered stunning at the least, its been announced that Affliction is loaning out Roy Nelson and Andrei Arlovski to EliteXC for the October 4th event roughly two weeks away. Its a move that pleases Arlovski by giving him a fight and a lot of money, it gives E...

Here at Total MMA we have sent one Andrew Wallace to Strikeforce twice now to report live on what usually are some of the more fun MMA events in the United States.

Opinion: Total MMA’s UFC 88 Roundtable

LC: Kim should crush the TUF rep. I know everyone was scared to death of Matt Brown on the show, but honestly he was no better than the fourth best guy in the house on the weakest-yet season of The Ultimate Fighter, and even that’s being generous. This one won’t make it out of the first. If we’re...

Affliction Day of Reckoning Announced

After July 19th, Affliction has set the bar incredibly high, maybe even too high for their own good. Yesterday, Affliction Day of Reckoning was announced, officially. While there are conflicting reports about fighters being asked to take pay cuts, it seems like that isn’t the case with th...

Opinion: Kazuhiro Nakamura: Released, but not forgotten PART V

Shogun, let’s not forget, was arguably the top light heavyweight in the world at the time of this fight. His only loss in his previous eleven bouts — which included the 2005 Pride Middleweight Grand Prix — was a freak open-weight loss to Mark Coleman (which gave us, among other things, Wande...

Opinion: UFC 85: The LiveBlog

MICHAEL BISPING VS. JASON DAY Can Hughes return to form? And what is it about a Hughes fight that makes guys bound and determined not to make weight? The pressure of his legendary power? I expect this to be similar to Hughes-Lytle. Matt will ground him and make him miserable for three rounds.

Final Word on Elite XC

Certainly, this is looked at as massive weakness on behalf of Gary Shaw to establish EliteXC as a name alongside the UFC by those concerned with comparing Dana White to Vince McMahon or Kimbo to Hulk Hogan (as two of the most poorly conceived and written pieces of MMA journalism ever did on b...

Opinion: Figuring Out The UFC’s Light Heavyweight Dilemma

Rampage Jackson: He is firmly entrenched as the champion. However due to his stint as a coach on the newest season of The Ultimate Fighter he hasn’t fought since September and won’t defend his title against Forrest Griffin until July. That fight is locked in so there is nothing that can be don...
