A lot has happened in women’s MMA this past week, with some major players. Here’s some quick highlights and a whole lot of video. As expected, Miesha “Takedown” Tate defeated Zoila “Warrior Princess” Frausto at Strikeforce Challengers Series 7 by 2nd round submission (armbar). Watch for yourself. This fight may help Tate pave the way towards [...]

This event starts tomorrow night, Wednesday March 31 at 8pm est and is being shown live and free on SpikeTV. After the fights will be the first episode of TUF 11 with Chuck and Tito as the coaches. The real story of this event is Takanori Gomi’s debut in the UFC but there are also [...]

UFC 111 was a good event for us, we only had one score below 40 and about half the team in the 60′s.  Rob posted another solid score extending his lead to 63 but the #2, 3, 4 spots are separated by only one point with the rest of the pack not far behind.  The [...]

You gotta give Dan Hardy props. He has no quit in him. And many Brazilian jiu jitsu experts state that even if you do not win a fight, by not getting submitted you win the moral victory. GSP’s apology for not finishing the fight in his post-fight interview Saturday night indicated that he might be in [...]

The UFC visits New Jersey this Saturday with a great card! The night begins with a free Spike broadcast of Nate Diaz’ return to 170 against Rory Markham, followed by a potentially great fight between Matt Brown and Ricardo Almeida.  Sadly one of the best fights on the card was canceled today as Thiago Alves [...]

It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out what was foremost on the minds of the hundreds of fans and media who turned out for Tuesday’s Q&A with Dana White in downtown Toronto: When is the UFC coming to Ontario? More specifically, they wanted to know when mixed martial arts will be sanctioned in [...]

The inaugural “UFC on Versus” event took place Sunday night, headlined by perhaps the best prospect in the sport, Jon Jones, against Brandon Vera, a man struggling to stay relevant. Since we’re on the subject, let’s start with the main event. The first and perhaps most obvious thing we learned is that Jon Jones is [...]

With half the season over, the standings haven’t changed much at the top level.  robnashville put up another big score, further solidifying his #1 spot with a substantial gap of about 50 points from JasonConwell at #2.   Rob is currently ranked #22 on the whole site out of almost 6,000 people, pretty dam impressive but [...]

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW I’m one of the maybe three MMA fans that still consider themselves a Josh Barnett fan. So  was really excited to see the Baby-Faced Assassin fight again, even though I’d far prefer to see him face, say, Fedor. But this is not to be. Barnett fought K-1 veteran Mighty Mo, who is 3-1 [...]

IWMMAR is proud to announce the launch of the Women’s Independent World MMA Rankings. These rankings are independent of any single MMA media outlet or sanctioning body, and are published on multiple web sites, as well as www.IndependentWorldMMARankings.com. Much like the Men’s Independent World MMA Rankings, which were launched last June, the Women’s Independent World [...]

In middle school and even high school, even the rumor of a fight was all the rage. We’d eagerly find a way to get to the meeting point, and if we couldn’t get there we’d sit and wait by the phone for the post-fight recap. At the risk of sounding old, I should point out [...]

UFC on Versus 1 is on this Sunday, a questionable move by the UFC considering how few people subscribe to Versus as compared to a network like CBS.  In Canda this event will also be shown on SportsNet and TheScore.  This card seems irrelevant, and it is, but there’s some great fights here which will [...]
