UFC 96: Lackluster
This weekend marks for the first time in one month that fight fans will have no Zuffa-promoted mixed martial arts on the fight docket.

WEC 38 Review
Jamie Varner v. Donald Cerrone: Now, this fight was insane. They both had solid stand-up, but I thought Cerrone was getting the best of it. He forced Varner to take the fight to the mat where he laid a beat down on Cerrone. My choice for "KO of the Night" goes to Jose Aldo. My choice for "Submission of...
