I know Tim Sylvia has become something of a “whipping boy” for UFC fans. I personally, think he is a good MMA fighter and I’ve got nothing against him. But I know that 99% of the readers who come to MMA HQ don’t like Sylvia at all. All I have to do is look through [...]

Well, since Saturday nights UFC 67 (and even well before that) I’ve received loads of emails asking me what Mirko Cro Cop’s next fight would be after Eddie Sanchez.

Main Card Anderson Silva vs. [...]
