It's clear that in it's 6th incarnation, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) shows no signs of fading away but nothing is perfect. There are still some annoyances that plague this series and what better time to address these issues than before the start of the next season? Maybe Dana White and crew will take heart so that the next TUF show will be

UFC 80: Rapid Fire is being held in Newcastle in the UK. For most of us here it is a ho hum card. BJ Penn has some interest for us. TUF experts will note that there are at least two stars from that series doing battle here in Penn and Grove. For us MMA Newbies, let's delve into what actually may be a better show than UFC79:Nemesis. Ever

So here's the deal:  It's the start of only the 2nd month of 2008.  We've seen two other UFC events this year already.  This one is on the eve of SuperBowl 42.  It also represents a price hike to make things equal for us regular Joes without HDTVs and the Better than regular Joes *with* HDTVs.  Our m

UFC80 is upon us and we’re expected to get excited about seeing BJ Penn smack up someone else. Before we get to the main event, let’s take a look at some of the action that the folks across “the pond” will be seeing up close and personal. At least this UFC event doesn’t have so many fighters coming off long breaks from the Octagon. So, her

I always thought the UFC was no holds barred, but there are a bunch of rules that the fighters have to follow. No wonder it's a lot more difficult to win than in a "street" fight. Who knew that pantsing and nipple twisters where out of the question??!? And I can't kick anyone in the gonads either?!! What's this world coming to! I gu

The UFC has had it’s fill of damn “furners” and is bringing its show back to the States where it belongs. UFC 82: Pride of a Champion is coming this Saturday, March the 1st. Finally, we have some fights on the main card that deserve to be there. Especially the poster boys here. Maybe our $45 will be well spent on this one and f

I was knocked down this week, but luckily it wasn't from a mad "Frenchy" like GSP in UFC83. No, a damn cold left me looking at this match for a while on my DVR. I'm still waiting for the fight between Nate Quarry and Kalib Starnes to begin. Something tells me I might be waiting a looong time for that to happen. Here are my

MMA on New Year's Eve is always a spectacular day on its calendar. There will be big scheduled fights and extravaganza all over the world, from Tokyo, Japan to the small counties of the United States. NYE 2007 saw the much await fight between MMA world ranked no. 1 Fedor Emelianenko and Korean giant Choi Hong Man. Chessnoid provides his curi

I'll admit it. I've only recently started watching UFC matches and The Ultimate Fighter show in the last couple of years. Normally the sight of two sweaty men writhing around on a floor sent me running out of the room. But now, both the matches and the show have been compelling. So, slowly I've begun to understand this thing called MMA or

Ok, so for the entire season of The Ultimate Fighter(TUF) this year we have been lead to believe that Serra Vs. Hughes would be our big payoff. What began as a minor dislike for each other was crafted into a full fledged feud. It would be settled, like last year's grudge match between Little Evil Jens Pulver and The Prodigy BJ Penn, in the O

The UFC has put on quite a good show in UFC82: Pride of a Champion. UFC82 proved to be its namesake. The two champs, one from the UFC, the other from PRIDE went at it and made it a fight worth shelling out $45 bucks. Since it was on Yahoo and that is international, many of us from around the globe could order it and see it on t

Oops! I guess I am... I've looked at my stories for the last couple of months and it's REALLY looking like I don't spend any time on anything other than the UFC and it's little bro the WEC. I guess it's kind of understandable but there are other leagues and types of martial arts out there. It's just that the UFC and the W

Mac Danzig brought it to Tommy Speer last night on the Ultimate Finale. It was a result that was hard to fathom going into the fight. Tommy had shown no signs of giving up at all on The Ultimate Fighter. That Mac was able to submit him shows that all the brooding talk (from Mac himself) of how he was better than everyone else was true afte

This is it. Shake the nog induced grog that’s making your head ache. Forget about mixing it up with the rest of the soccer moms at the malls. The last great battle of 2007 UFC79:Nemesis is about to go down this weekend. Let’s see if us newbies can make any sense of it all.

We’ll take on the fodder err.. the undercards of UFC79:Nemesis firs

We've gone through the undercard of UFC79 so now it's time to see what the main card holds for us. We have the two obvious fights in Liddell v. Silva and Hughes v. GSP but there are others fighting on Saturday that have put themselves on the line for us.

This figures to be a great group of various battles. Where they start and how they e

A lot of us have been waiting for UFC83 to happen. The Ultimate Fighter 6 promised us a fight between the two coaches. We were really psyched to see Matt Serra face one of the greatest welterweights of all time and finally Matt Serra and Matt Hughes will fight for the Championship... err oh yeah! Make that Matt Serra and George

UFC79 was as action packed as we thought it was going to be. We saw some amazing fights and the results were surprising in some of the bouts but most of them finished like we thought they would. There were a large amount of fighters coming off long lay-offs. I don't know if this is typical in the UFC as this is only the second main event I'
