The topic of how the UFC handles the “internet media” with regards to press credentials and interview requests has become a topic of discussion again recently.

After my success with my Ultimate Fighter 3 finale predictions (I went 8-1), I hope I can be as accurate again for this Wednesday’s Ultimate Fight Night event. The UFC is really putting out these shows rapid-fire lately with the TUF 3 finale, this Ultimate Fight Night 5, and UFC 61 next Saturday; three different [...]

Tomorrow night marks the end of The Ultimate Fighter season 3, with two new UFC contracts being awarded in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions.

A big knock on the UFC in recent months has been the perception that they “protect” their top fighters. There is some discussion that the UFC won’t put up the money to sign top fighters from other promotions in order to keep their star title holders from the possibility of losing. Whether this is the [...]

With all the hype for the upcoming UFC 61 centered around Tito Oritz and Ken Shamrock, it is easy to overlook some of the other fights on this card.

Pride FC has signed Vitor Belfort to fight on their July 1 event in Japan against Yoshiki Takahashi. I hope this is suprising to everyone else and not just me.
