UFCMania.com is reporting the story, [...]
UFC Title Picture
I want to take a minute to look over the current UFC landscape and the title holders at each weightclass.

Which current UFC champions will hold their [...]

Liddell vs Silva NOT at UFC 76?
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 [...]

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.

UFC 73: Stacked Recap
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, [...]
