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 [...]

UFC 74: Respect Recap

August 26th, 2007

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 [...]
