Frank Mir wouldn’t be Frank Mir without some extremely bold and seemingly insane statements leading up to his fights. His UFC 146 showdown with champion Junior Dos Santos is no exception.

Last year around this time, Mir for some unknown reason decided to go on record and say that he’s a lot better fighter/athlete than Junior Dos Santos. Here’s his direct quote: “I’m a lot bigger than (Junior) Dos Santos and I hit a lot harder. I’m a taller, longer athlete, quicker…” And as karma would [...]

Don’t get me wrong, Akiyama vs. Alves would have been entertaining, but we all know that’s yet another mis-match for the Japanese Judoka. Speaking of, even though Akiyama hasn’t won since the Obama era, his opponents have progressively gotten better or at the very least, stayed the same. Here they are in order; Leben, Bisping, [...]

In a recent article posted by Bloody Elbow, former UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Lyoto Machida talks about the possibility of dropping to middleweight: I was ready to fight but the opportunity was not there.

UFC on Fox 3 has been put together with one thought in mind–to avoid the pitfalls of the first two Fox shows. Not that those were critical flops, but each event had so much pressure to excel that the shortcomings were magnified. This one should be the best of both worlds. Four fights that bring [...]

UFC 146 takes another hit—this time due to injury. Gabriel Gonzaga is now reportedly out of the fight against Roy Nelson. In his place steps Dave “Pee Wee” Herman. Herman is 1-1 in the UFC and loves to mix it up so this could actually be a very entertaining fight. In terms of relevance within [...]

Miller vs. Diaz will be an epic scrap no doubt, but the fight I’m most looking forward to this weekend is Johny Hendricks vs. Josh Koscheck.

Who would have thought that some of the most exciting MMA we’ve seen for awhile would come out of a free TV event on a Tuesday night? And really, isn’t that the brilliance of the UFC? Their roster is so deep, and their match-making so good, that even if you take away all the bells [...]
