Ever since last Saturday nights UFC 74: Respect event, Josh Barnett has one again managed to put himself near the top of the MMA world’s discussion list. First, Barnett was a corner man for Renato Sobral in his fight against David Heath. We all know what happened in that fight and that Babalu has since [...]

While I’m still in the mood to look at possible future fight matchups, let’s think about what might be next for Gabriel Gonzaga. Gonzaga fought every well in the war with Randy Couture at UFC 74 and simply couldn’t overcome Randy’s clinch game and a severly broken nose. Regardless of the loss, I still think [...]

For those who haven’t been able to see the Frank Mir vs Antoni Hardonk fight from UFC 74 yet, here is the video. I didn’t really care so much about the fight itself as much as how Frank Mir looked physically. Mir actually looked like he trained and was in shape for this fight, which [...]

Now that the dust is slowly beginning to settle after UFC 74, I can’t help but look ahead and think about future matchups for the UFC 74 contestants. In particular, let’s talk about Roger Huerta and what might be coming up down the line for him. In my UFC 74 recap post, I said that [...]

For those who might have missed EliteXC’s ShoXC card this past Saturday night, here is a video of the main event between Charles “Krazyhorse” Bennet and Victor “Joe Boxer” Valenzuela.

UFC 74 is in the books and it was a good card from start to finish. I still have issues with the way that Zuffa runs their PPV shows, and I will probably say this after every event, but they need to show more than 5 fights over the course of 3 hours. UFC 74 [...]
