Will Tito Ortiz bring out his UFC 84 t-shirt for today's weigh-in?

Forrest Griffin: UFC's cussing, anti-role model
Tito Ortiz may be a better trash-talker but Forrest Griffin is a better quote. The quotes are rarely about his fighting or career, but they're still classics. This discussion on why he curses so often is dynamite. I don't know why I cuss so much. I'm around gyms all the time. Damn, dirty apes," Gr...
UFC 106 interview: Koscheck willing to take risks to get title shot

Tito's dark shades are hiding a nasty black eye
The mixed martial arts world isn't the place to be if you're worried about your looks. Between the scars, broken noses and cauliflower ears you're not going to find a bunch of runway model candidates donning the four-ounce gloves. There's been several cases during fight week where Rich Fra...
UFC 106 interview: Grove is growing weary of decisions
Kendall Grove likes being above the fray in the life but it's not the easiest thing to deal with in the Octagon. At 6-foot-6, he's got to be the tallest middeweight fighters in the world. That length definitely gives him a striking advantage especially with his kicks but it can prove to be a nig...

Now Johnson isn't Mr. Nice Guy all the time especially when it comes time to step into the Octagon.

Cagewriter facepalm of the week to Versus WEC analyst Todd Harris
This is not true in the case of Versus' Todd Harris, who calls World Extreme Cagefighting events along with UFC heavyweight Frank Mir. He is, quite simply, horrible at working fights, and for that, wins Cagewriter's facepalm of the week. A few examples from last night's broadcast of WEC 44:

The best of Rogan and Goldberg, where Rogan goes overboard
For UFC 105, I decided not to try to avoid the results before the Spike broadcast.

Michael Bisping scores huge comeback win over Denis Kang
At UFC 100, Michael Bisping was fed a dose of humble pie by Dan Henderson. On a huge international stage, the brash Brit, who said Hendo had no finishing power, was knocked out cold.

Opinion: UFC 104 judge Peoples says good fans understand why Machida won
When both fighters are engaged in a striking match what I always look for is the fighter who is being judicious, picking his spots, being accurate and landing the cleaner strikes which ultimately is what Lyoto did more effectively than Rua. Lyoto made Shogun come after him, he determined w...

Opinion: UFC 104 postfight show live from Staples at 1:30 a.m. ET

Opinion: UFC shouldn't line their pockets with fighters' sponsor money
Also, what will happen if the UFC wants to sign a fighter away from another organization, but he already has sponsors? Will that be one more roadblock that will keep some of the best fighters out of the UFC? Just like any fan, I'd love to see Robbie Lawler, Vitor Belfort and Gegard Mousasi, am...

Opinion: Franklin not a fan of laying in his own feces
Trash talk isn't needed to hype up all fights. You've got the perfect case at the main event of UFC 93 where Dan Henderson isn't very menacing when he's trying to smack about an opponent and Rich Franklin is way too laid back to do anything but laugh it off. Franklin channeled his inner co...
