The UFC is shipping off to Boston this Saturday, headline by a rematch between Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn for the lightweight title. Edgar shocked everyone by defeating the champ in the first place? Can he do it again? More importantly, can I break at least .500 with predictions this time? PRELIMINARY CARD I like [...]

POLL: Who Should Shane Carwin Fight Next?

There seems to be a lot of interest in what’s next for Shane Carwin.  Vote for who you think he should fight next…

I swear, Brock Lesnar can beat God and Mike Ditka at the same time, and the net nerds would still be complaining aboot how much he sucks. Dominating Randy Couture was a fluke. Dominating Frank Mir was a fluke. And while hardly dominating, beating Shane Carwin was a fluke too. In the last case, he [...]

Click here to vote for who Shane Carwin should fight next Let’s give credit to Shane Carwin, it looked like he was going to stop Brock Lesnar in the first round. He clipped him early on and proceeded to beat the living hell out of him. Brock however survived and tapped out Carwin in the [...]

He’s lucky to be alive, and after a tap out in the second round, Brock Lesnar is the UNDISPUTED heavyweight champion of the world. What’s funny here is that my buddy Mark called a Brock submission in the 3rd around and I called him an ignorant slut because “Brock doesn’t have submissions.” His next fight [...]

If there is a God, Paul Heyman will walk Brock Lesnar to the Octagon this weekend…

We’re a week away from UFC 116: Lesnar vs. Carwin, and I think I’m ready to make my predictions. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me how much I suck and that I know nothing aboot the mixed martial arts. I love it when people do that! PRELIMINARY I like Brendan Schaub over [...]

Brock Lesnar to Fedor: You Suck

The big question is how Fedor Emelianenko would do in the UFC, and if he’s really as good as the hype. We might never know, since last week he said he wasn’t a fan of the UFC…and this week he’s rumoured to be at least thinking of retiring. Current UFC Heavyweight Champion Brook Lesnar isn’t [...]

Okay, so I’m torn and I have a week to make my prediction. On one hand, I am a HUGE Brock Lesnar fan and think the “real” MMA fans who sleep on him or whine that hes not a real fighter…whatever. Shut up. The way he wrecked Frank Mir and Randy Couture looked pretty real [...]

It’s over. It might even be officially over by the time you read this. Last word is that Chuck Liddell was taken to the hospital, and I’m sure when Dana takes the microphone he’s going to say that as far as he’s concerned, Chuck Liddell fought his last fight. He’s lost five out of his [...]

That might be a bigger win for Rich Franklin than when he won the middleweight title. He really hasn’t gotten to do much at 205, mainly because his last three fights were either at 185 or a 195 catchweight. A win over Chuck Liddell that was not only decisive, but also possibly the fight that [...]

Look Out 205, Here Comes Anderson Silva

Originally the plan was that Anderson Silva had to get past Chael Sonnen AND Vitor Belfort before vacating the title. According to UFC President Dana White, he will have cleaned out the division and it would be time for him to move up to the 205 division. It would appear that Dana changed his mind, [...]

It was originally supposed to be Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz. Instead, we have Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin after Ortiz had to leave “The Ultimate Fighter.” There are a bunch more matches on the card. Let’s get it on! PRELIMS I’ll take Evan Dunham because he’s undefeated, and Matt Wiman just because I really [...]

Apparently being off for over a year affected Rampage Jackson. The same fighter who dominated Wanderlai Silva and Keith Jardine didn’t seem to know how to deal with Rashad Evans. He scored those big shots in third round and the fight looked like it was going to be stopped. But the rest of the fight, [...]
