Saturday April 10 marks the day that Anderson Silva will be defending his title for a record 8 times against challenger Demian Maia. I think the question on every ones mind is why? Why does Maia who recently lost his last fight against number 1 contender Nate “the great” Marquardt deserve a title shot?
To be honest on stats this makes no sense. By default the title shot should have to gone to Marquardt off of beating all the top competition in his weight class. The reason is no one wanted …

I know it may be a little premature to assume anything however this weekend looks like it might be the closing date for UFC and Fedor Emelianenko. Sources close to the deal have not confirmed if this is the case but the buzz on the internet seems to be pointing towards this direction.
Now if Fedor does sign with Zuffa and the UFC, the question remains….will he get a immediate title shot against current heavyweight title holder Brock Lesnar? Personally this would make the most sense. Although the mainstream fight fan …

With the fall of up and coming MMA orginization Affliction, the question remains….How long till Fedor comes to the UFC? Dana White has already stated in numerous press conferences that he is actively pursuing the worlds #1 Heavy weight. Although communications between the both sides have fallen short in the past, fans across the world still remain hopeful that Vadim Finelchtein and Dana White can come to some sort of agreement.
Personally I feel that there is no other organization that would be suitable for Fedor and with the rising stock …

Now that season nine of the TUF is in the history books, it is time for the money making machined known as Zuffa to crank out yet another 12 plus episodes of reality TV. As much as I hate reality TV I have to admit TUF has its moments. The upcoming season 10 promises to be the….

Ok so thanks to our good friends at the CSAC it is mandatory to disclose fight purses to the public. With rival promotions popping up such as Affliction one has to wonder what is going on in the minds of fighters. Andrei Arlovski the number 2 ranked heavy weight in MMA took home a reported 1.5 Million dollars for…

The Stage is set to kick off 2009. On January 31 George St Pierre looks to defend his title against Bj Penn. Mark your calendar, clear your schedule do whatever you need to, but do not miss this fight. The last time these two champions met in UFC 58 2006 the result was a controversial split decision going to GSP. This left many fans including myself confused over who the real 170 pound king is.

With EliteXC down the toilet and being knocked out in 14 seconds by Seth Petruzelli (UFC reject) Dana White jokes that we will see him fighting next to a BBQ (possibly mixing it up for a chicken wing?). Although all signs point to this fighters 15 minutes of fame being up, there maybe some hope for him still. Kimbo is…

Well its no news that Randy Couture will be fighting Brock Lesnar at UFC 91 November 15 2008. But there are a few things that stick out. How much sense does this fight make? Granted Lesnar is coming off a unanimous win decision from the Herring fight. He is still a long way from being a contender for the belt. Call me old school but I believe that title shots are earned and not given. Now its no secret…

According to Jeremy Lappen, Head of Fight Operations for EliteXC CBS has turned down the offer to purchase this mma franchise. Although no one knows for sure if CBS or Showtime will be planning their own fight label, one thing is for sure. The pay for mma fighters looks to take another step backwards. Although this does not come as a surprise to most people inside the mma circle, it has caused..
