Three new fights have been announced for the upcoming UFC 62: Liddell vs. Sobral card. Thiago Alves Vs. Josh Neer – Alves lost his last fight to Jon Fitch at UFN 5 while Josh Neer lost his last fight at UFC 61 to Josh Burkman. Weird to see Neer fighting in back-to-back PPV events, especially [...]
The Ultimate Fighter 4 Middleweight Preview
Well, I posted my Welterweight preview yesterday and I want to finish off The Ultimate Fighter 4: The Comeback with a preview of the middleweight division.

The Ultimate Fighter 4 Welterweight Preview
With the start of The Ultimate Fighter 4: The Comback less than 3 weeks away, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the fighters that will appear on the show and do a little TUF4 preview. Of course, I know that the spoilers are already out there, thanks to [...]
Matt Lindland vs Jeremy Horn in IFL
Matt Lindland recently confirmed in an interview with ProKarateWeekly.com that he will be fighting Jeremy Horn at the IFL show in Portland, OR on September 9.

Ultimate Fight Night 6 lineup
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 [...]
WFA King of the Streets Wrapup
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 [...]

UFC on ESPN’s “The Hot List”
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 [...]
Who is Renato “Babalu” Sobral?
Since UFC 61, most of the talk around the internet has been related to the Wanderlei Silva vs. Chuck Liddell fight announcement. However, I think a good majority of the press is too quickly looking past Liddell’s fight with Renato “Babalu” Sobral. I just wanna take some time an dig into who Babalu is, what [...]
