The Independent Voice of Mixed Martial Arts
I don’t know what the deal is but the number of fighters complaining about money seems to grow every day. There is a constant comparison to boxing pay which is ludicrous because the sports are entirely different in structure. I could write an entire book on why they are and should be different, but I … Read more
Middleweight contender Paulo Costa has his eyes firmly set on the middleweight championship currently wrapped around the waist of Israel Adesanya. Costa has not fought since defeating Yoel Romero by unanimous decision in August of last year but he has shared that he was ready to return. Adesanya also defeated Romero in his last fight … Read more
UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is another fighter on the front lines of the continuous and baffling mistreatment of African-Americans by some police officers. After George Floyd was senselessly murdered by a careless/witless officer parts of the United States turned into a war zone. While some chose to throw bricks, set fires, destroy property, and … Read more
The return of Conor McGregor kicked off the 2020 MMA calendar with his highly-anticipated – if rather short-lived – fight with American Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone.

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya loves his walk outs but we guarantee you that messing with light heavyweight champ Jon Jones makes him happier.

If you are reading this then you certainly know the trouble that Mr. Jones is in. Another DWI, related firearms charge, and a few misdemeanors sprinkled in here and there. The problem is that Jon is … 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
Gross. While UFC 248’s main event bout between middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero was a snooze fest the co-main event more than made up for it. Strawweight champ Weili Zhang won a somewhat controversial split decision over former champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk in an absolute war. The pair stood so steadfastly in the pocket … Read more
After essentially blowing the last chance he will likely get at capturing the UFC middleweight championship, Yoel Romero was heavily criticized. He often stood motionless and stared at champion Israel Adesanya only occasionally displaying that terrifying aggression that has won him so many fights. He’s an Olympic silver medalist and former world gold medalist in … Read more
