The UFC has officially released the fight schedule for their August 17 Ultimate Fight Night 6 event to be held in Las Vegas. This card looks like it should be a decent event (hey, if its on free TV who can complain?). The main even will feature Diego Sanchez vs. Karo Parisyan. I’m really looking [...]

Well, the first WFA show is in the books and overall I think it was a good event. I know, I know, this technically isn’t the very first WFA show, but really the company has completely changed and this is the first show for the “new” WFA. As can be expected with any first time [...]

Could the “big” news that is supposed to be announced today by the UFC on ESPN‘s “The Hot List” simply be nothing more that the rematch between Matt Hughes and Georges St. Pierre? Take a look at the following quote direct from UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes website: Sunday, July 16, 2006 I’m in Conneticut [...]

Since UFC 61, most of the talk around the internet has been related to the Wanderlei Silva vs. Chuck Liddell fight announcement.
