I normally don’t like to speculate on fights that I haven’t been able to get a reasonable amount of confirmation on, but with the lack of news stories lately, the MMA world is abuzz today with news that Andre Arlovski and Brandon Vera might fight at UFC 78 in November. UFCMania.com is reporting the story, [...]

UFC Title Picture

July 26th, 2007

I want to take a minute to look over the current UFC landscape and the title holders at each weightclass. Every weightclass will have one more title fight before the end of 2007 (with the probably exception of the lightweight division due to the Sherk steroid suspension appeal). Which current UFC champions will hold their [...]

Postive drug tests continue to sweep over the MMA landscape much like the AIDS crisis is currently ravaging the content of Africa.

Sean Sherk, the reigning UFC World Lightweight Champion, who last competed [...]

Didn’t I mention yesterday, during the middle of all this furor surrounding the Chuck vs Wandy announcements that I wasn’t holding my breath and wouldn’t believe this fight was happening until it was officially announced. Well, yeah, looks like that was a good perspective to take. Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports, who seems to have [...]

It appears that earlier reports of the Chuck vs Wandy fight taking place at UFC 76 in September may be accurate. According to Wanderlei Silva’s personal webiste, the fight seems to have been agreed upon. The hour arrived! The date of the fight of Wanderlei Silva is confirmed. It will be day 22 of September, [...]

At the UFC 73 post-fight press conference, Dana White announced that Tito Ortiz and Rashad Evans would have an immediate rematch following their draw on last Saturday nights card.

After defeating Nate Marquardt this past Saturday at UFC 73: Stacked, Anderson Silva can now look ahead to UFC 77 in October and a rematch with Rich Franklin in Cincinnati, Ohio. As you can tell from this video by Fightlinker.com, I don’t think Rich is too thrilled looking forward to the rematch. Rich Franklin sees [...]

UFC 73: Stacked Recap

July 8th, 2007

Another UFC is in the books and overall the event was pretty solid. You can’t deny this fight card was probably the strongest card the UFC has ever put on. For those who can’t stand fights going to the distance, you were probably somewhat disappointed with UFC 73; for those who love good MMA matchups, [...]
