Here is the fighter salary information for UFC 70: Nations Collide. Since this event wasn’t technically sanctioned by any governing body, I have no way of truly “verifying” this information, but I have no reason to believe it is inaccurate. These numbers have been listed both at MMANews.com and by Dave Meltzer from WrestlingObserver.com. Gabriel [...]

I wrote the other day about Tito’s post on the UG Forums. For those that don’t remember, Tito said the following: Rashad Evans!!! He will be my Nappy Headed Ho. On 7-7-07…Let The Punishment Begin!!! Tito Ortiz www.Punishment.com Well, Rashad Evans responded today on the KTEG 104.7 The Edge radio morning show this AM. You [...]

Everyone, I guess I’m just getting soft or losing my sense of humor, but I found this clip and had to post it…

par·i·ty – Pronunciation[par-i-tee] –noun 1. equality, as in amount, status, or character. The talk of the MMA world so far in 2007 has, of course, been the many “upsets” we have witnessed so far. We have already labeled 2007 as “The Year of the Upset” and pretty much every month that trend continues. Whether each [...]

Well, I jumped the gun a little yesterday with the announcement on the forums. It appears that about half of you that signed up early in the day never actually got your registration email with the login information. The other half of you got the information fine. Well, I’m pretty sure I’ve fixed the problem. [...]

Well, several of you guys have contacted me and asked for it, so the time has come. I’ve gone ahead and setup the MMA HQ Forums (http://www.mmahq.com/forums). I appreciate all of you guys who hang out here at MMA HQ every day and fill pretty much every post I make with 100+ comments. All day [...]

Dave Meltzer at WrestlingObserver.com is reporting that the UFC 70: Nations Collide event on SpikeTV this past Saturday drew a 1.8 rating. Now I don’t know specifically what that translates too, but to put it into perspective the Ultimate Fighter reality show episodes generally gather anywhere between a 1.1 and 1.5 rating. The IFL Battleground [...]

Yes, you read that headline correctly. First, let me say that I’m not normally the one to post things like this, but this time I just found it too funny to pass up. Tito Ortiz made a post to the MMA.tv UnderGround forums early this morning using the headline “UFC first woman fighter!!!!!!!!!!!” Here is [...]

Sam Caplan, who covers MMA for CBS Sportsline, has an “exclusive” statement today on his personal MMA Site from Mike Swick. In an exclusive statement to FiveOuncesOfPain.com, Mike Swick responded to a question we submitted to him about comments made by Joe Rogan during the UFC 70 telecast about Swick possibly being a better fit [...]

I have had quite of few people email me or leave comments here at MMA HQ asking for the fighter payouts for UFC 69: Shootout that was held April 7 in Houston, Texas. Believe me, I have been trying my hardest to get the information from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation but they [...]

Ok, this is really getting a bit too much to handle for MMA fans. I really don’t even know why I continue to try and feebly “predict” fights anymore. The big cliche has been that 2007 is the year of the upset. Well, I’m starting to buy into that theory and can’t even come close [...]

** UPDATE ** 3 New “hybrid” designs have been uploaded and added to the poll. I’ve taken the suggestions from the comments and reworked/combined a few shirt designs. I’ve also reset the poll logs, so you all should be able to vote again if you want to vote for a different shirt. ************** The Voting [...]

The UFC makes history this Saturday night as they hold their first event in England(correction: the UFC’s first show in England was UFC 38) and have their first event broadcast cable television. Most of the fight card features foreign fighters who will be relatively new to most of the UFC fan base but they are [...]

UltimateFantatic.com, a French-Canadian site, has an interview today with Stéphane Patry, Georges St. Pierre’s trainer. In the interview, Patry implies that perhaps GSP didn’t train has long and hard as he should/could have for his title defense against Matt Serra. Patry says GSP only trained roughly 3 weeks for the Serra fight instead of his [...]
