The Independent Voice of Mixed Martial Arts
This is getting ridiculous. UFC 249 is probably going to be held in someone’s basement. This coronavirus pandemic isn’t messing around. Dana White has been all over the news first with news of a venue for the event then the next day he’s uncertain if it will even take place. Imagine being the two best … Read more
There has been drama brewing for a while between two of American Top Team’s best. Both are former UFC champions and both are emotional and outspoken. Former women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk and former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington. It’s turning in to a war. Colby hasn’t had the obnoxious MAGA knob turned up to … Read more
Oh man… I’m learning to dislike a piece of Israel Adesanya that should be his greatest asset. His sense of humor. Before his successful snooze fest of a middleweight title defense against Yoel Romero at UFC 248 the champion said he would make Romero “crumble like the twin towers”. Jokes about the 9/11 terrorist attacks … Read more
It’s bad out there. The coronavirus is blowing up and leaving financial devastation in its wake on top of the health risks it is posing. Events everywhere are being cancelled or postponed and if you want proof look no further than WWE Wrestlemania. The event which usually brings in millions for the company is being … Read more
The LOL train keeps rolling for Tony Ferguson. A little while ago we got to see former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson tumbling and fighting with a black box. He was clad in jeans and a belt performing what we would call ‘unusual’ techniques. He is supposed to, and realistically now probably not going to … Read more
The 2017 Mayweather v McGregor bout made the two fighters richer for hundreds of millions and the announcements of a potential rematch in 2020 came as no surprise. According to reports, Floyd added $275 million to his account after the first fight with Conor, while the Irishman cashed in around $100 million on the occasion. … Read more
Pride fans never quit being Pride fans. Shogun Rua was the light heavyweight darling of the Internet forums at one time. Unbeatable, dominant, and unstoppable they said daily. He was Pride’s answer to the UFC’s Chuck Liddell and if only Shogun could make it to that organization he would reign there, too. Unfortunately that wasn’t … Read more
Tony Ferguson released one of the most – ahem – ‘unique’ videos of his training we have seen recently. Even his UFC 249 opponent lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was confused by what he was doing. In jeans and a belt Ferguson beat up on, threw, and spun around on a large black block. It didn’t … Read more
UFC featherweight Megan Anderson is probably the closest thing the UFC has to an Amazon Warrior. At 6 feet tall she is an imposing 145 pound fighter because – keeping it real – to be that height and weight combo means you are in peak physical condition. It’s probably terrifying standing across the cage from … Read more
Throwback Thursday y’all. This remains one of the best unintentionally funny interviews that has ever been recorded on film. It was February 5, 2011 and a portly sensei Steven Seagal was interviewed by Ariel Helwani backstage after UFC 126. Anderson Silva had just landed the now legendary front kick to the face of Vitor Belfort … Read more
