With a Lightweight title shot at stake for Nate Diaz this evening, many had considered his opponent Jim Miller the favorite. Diaz brought his trademark boxing to the cage to keep the talented grappler Miller at bay, who could never seem to find his

Earlier today the UFC on Fox 3 pre-fight press conference had some entertaining statements by the fighters on Saturday night’s card from New Jersey. Any UFC card that has Nate Diaz and Josh Koscheck on it is bound to have a good amount of trash talk. Much speculation has been made as to the true title implications of the May 5 card, with White earlier insinuating that Nate Diaz would earn a title shot with a win, however his opponent Jim Miller may not. When asked about this situation and if he would wait

UFC President Dana White confirmed yesterday that the former UFC Heavyweight title contender Shane “The Enigneer” Carwin will make his Octagon return against no other than the Golden Glory fighter and UFC newcomer John Olav Einemo. Carwin will square off against the 35-year old Einemo at the main card of Lesnar-JDS headlined UFC 131 on June 11th.

There is no doubt among hardcore fans and experts that Mirko Filipovic aka “Cro Cop” is a legend in the game and has left a huge imprint in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.

What exactly is an elite striker and who should be considered an elite striker? I’ve thought about this for a long time prior to last Saturday’s UFC event. You hear this phrase thrown around so loosely in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. Now, I’m not comparing the sport of Mixed Martial Arts to other Combat Sports like Boxing or Muay Thai / K

UFC Fight Night 23 Fight for the Troops 2 will take place this Saturday January 22nd at Fort Hood, Texas. It will be the third UFC event to take place at a military post.
