Opinion: Creature vs Creature: Pathetic Tito Begs the Iceman for a Third Beatdown

06 Nov 2009 07:00:14 PST

Written by James Ryan
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...

Opinion: UFC 6 and Why I Miss The Good Old Days of Tournament-Style Fighting

31 Oct 2009 15:07:54 PDT

Written by James Ryan
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: Another Fight, Another Shocking Dissapointment for TUF10: Heavyweights

28 Oct 2009 22:22:16 PDT

Written by Eric Samulski
Rampage Jackson is not a great UFC coach. He makes no qualms about his desire to be recognized as a fighter, and not a coach. It then begs the question: Why bother signing up for the show? Jackson even threw his own fighters under the bus, telling them it wasn't he who was giving up, it was his figh...

Opinion: Lesnar/Carwin Postponement Spotlights Major UFC Issue: Too Many Events

26 Oct 2009 20:33:23 PDT

Written by Josh Nason
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.

Opinion: UFC 104 judge Peoples says good fans understand why Machida won

26 Oct 2009 11:25:16 PDT

Written by Steve Cofield
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...

Does Anthony Johnson deserve any credit for his quick knockout of Yoshiyuki Yoshida? Afterall, he probably entered the cage weighing 190-192 after missing weight at 176. Is Pat Barry for real as a dangerous stand-up fighter at heavyweight? He was devastating tonight against another go...

Written by Josh McCain
Now MMA has several organizations, but to the mainstream American public there is really only the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Those fighters on ESPN Classic don't fight anymore, where a lot of the fighters on the classic bouts we see on Spike are still in the octagon.

UFC 2009: Undisputed Review

25 May 2009 12:21:42 PDT

Written by VSN Writers
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).
