The Strikeforce: St Louis card, which takes place on December 4th, continues to get more exciting by the day as more eye catching bouts are announced. The latest fight which has been penciled in for the event features a battle of two knockout strikers, as British bomber Paul “Semtex” Daley throws down against the always game [...]

This week’s episode began with a very cocky Bruce Leroy doing some good old fashioned shit talking. It seemed unwarranted given his poor performance–although he did win his fight, he looked like a fish out of water in the clinch, and could have just as easily lost. His housemates seemed exasperated by his arrogance, and [...]

UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar will attempt to defend his title for the second time against No. 1 contender Gray Maynard at UFC 125. The unannounced event will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Jan. 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be the UFC’s Super Bowl card. Edgar managed to take [...]

Strikeforce champion Nick Diaz and contender Karl James Noons will meet in a highly-anticipated rematch at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons 2 in San Jose on Oct. 9 at the HP Pavilion.  To help promote the fight, Strikeforce hosted a recent media teleconference, although the organization’s welterweight champion didn’t call in. It’s an interesting twist, leading [...]

Korean fighter Chan Sung Jung still may not be a household name among MMA fans, but the April fight with Leonard Garcia helped earn the “Korean Zombie” new fans. During their April fight, Jung and Garcia battled it out for 15 minutes before Garcia was awarded the controversial split decision victory. Their bout rightfully earned [...]

WEC 51 will be live on Thursday night on VERSUS from Broomfield, Colorado. The main event will feature WEC Featherweight champion Jose Aldo defending his championship belt against Manny Gamburyan. Since the start of 2009, Aldo has gone undefeated with five victories against Rolando Perez, Chris Mickle, Cub Swanson, Mike Brown, and Urijah Faber. Meanwhile, [...]

Aaron Simpson and Mark Muñoz may be long-time friends, but both fighters will put that aside when they face off in Auburn Hills, Michigan on November 20th at UFC 123. “I’ve known him since I was a senior in college. I wrestled him in college my senior year at Oklahoma State,” Simpson recalled. (This was [...]

Former PRIDE superstar Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will not make a return to the UFC octagon until mid-2011, after recovering from a recent knee surgery and preparing for an upcoming hip surgery. Recovering from one surgery is difficult enough, but the aging Brazilian fighter will have to deal with separate healing injuries. “He’s had surgery on [...]

UFC 119 was hardly a classic by any stretch of the imagination. There were a few entertaining contests at mid-card and prelim level but the headline bout was bizarre to say the least. It’s hard to talk about the fight as a whole because nothing really happened. Mirko didn’t attack and Mir couldn’t get the [...]

UFC veteran Alan Belcher hasn’t fought since a submission victory against Patrick Cote during UFC 113, but it looks like the rising middleweight could make a return to the UFC sometime in 2011. In a recent video interview with MMA Fighting, Belcher spoke about his career-threatening eye injury that came from nowhere; how scary the [...]

It’s truly a good time in the UK for mixed martial arts. There may have been skepticism about Watson vs. Reid at BAMMA 4 at the weekend but the paparazzi facade of Alex Reid soon faded as the two fighters were involved in a slugfest, the likes of which I’ve not seen since Rocky fought [...]

MMA superstar Fedor Emelianenko will not fight for Strikeforce before the end of the year, and his M-1 management team is expecting an early 2011 return.  A comeback during a Strikeforce event on Dec. 4 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis is no longer possible, though he could return for Strikeforce on Jan. 29. [...]

After watching UFC 119 I was almost ready for the inevitable internet backlash. It’s ironic that Sean Sherk and Evan Dunham put on, for me at least, the most entertaining fight on the entire card, only to be greeted with the loudest boos. Fans have been quick to berate the scorecards at UFC 119 but [...]

‘The Ultimate Fighter’ winner Ryan Bader moved another step closer towards a future light heavyweight title shot after UFC 119, although the UFC doesn’t need to rush the rising fighter. The UFC LHW division is temporarily on hold until champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua defends his title against Rashad Evans in early 2011. Former LHW champions [...]
