Jake Ellenberger vs. Martin Kampmann to headline TUF 15 finale

Today brought some bad news for MMA fans that were hoping for a Carlos Condit versus Jake Ellenberger rematch as the UFC announced that Ellenberger would be facing Martin Kampmann in the main event of “The Ultimate Fighter” 15 finale. Oddly, it was Kampmann who handed Condit his last defeat, beating the current interim Welterweight champion via split decision on April 1, 2009. Condit followed that loss by defeating Ellenberger via split decision in September of the same year.
Since that loss to

Donald Cerrone vs. Yves Edwards set for May 15 fight card

The May 15 UFC event, scheduled for the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA, has picked up another fight, Donald Cerrone versus Yves Edwards.  The fight was announced on Tuesday’s edition of “UFC Tonight,” which airs on Fuel TV.
Cerrone had a fantastic 2011, going 4-1 over the course of the year and earning four “Fight Night” bonuses in those five fights. Cerrone’s four wins came over Paul Kelly, Vagner Rocha, Charles Oliveira and Dennis Siver. His sole loss, the first in

A War of Words: Sonnen vs. Bisping Preview

This weekend’s UFC on FOX 2 card in Chicago, IL will showcase a high-profile bout between Chael Sonnen and Michael “The Count” Bisping as the co-main event.  After Mark Munoz was injured his elbow in training, Bisping moved in to take his place against Sonnen.  This short notice has made the anticipation suffer due to a lack of time to build up back-and –forth hype that would have most likely reached a fever pace considering the two combatants. Without a doubt, the fight

Strikeforce Rockhold vs. Jardine Recap: Luke Rockhold dominates on way to TKO victory

Heading into Saturday night most fans and pundits had Luke Rockhold as the favorite over Keith Jardine in Rockhold’s first defense of his Strikeforce Middleweight title.  With that being said, it’s doubtful that many had Rockhold breezing through the fight as easily as he did.
It seemed as if whenever Rockhold threw a strike it landed and the post-fight numbers reflected that as Rockhold connected on 75 percent of his strikes, especially those that ended the fight at the 4:26 mark of Round

Johny Hendricks: I understand you have to put on a show for the fans

Johny Hendricks will step into the Octagon on Friday December 30 in what will be the biggest fight of his 11-1 career. Hendricks, who last fought at UFC 133, defeating Mike Pierce via split decision; will face Jon Fitch on the pay per view card of UFC 141.
The one thing that many fans seem to be concerned about in this bout is the potential for it to be a “boring” wrestling match.  That concern is based around the fact that both Fitch and Hendricks were accomplished amateur wrestlers

Dan Hardy looking to smash Matt Hughes in the face

The last time Dan Hardy was in the Octagon he was submitted by Chris Lytle via guillotine choke during their main event fight at the August 14 UFC Live event. The loss was Hardy’s fourth straight defeat with the UFC. Prior to that extended losing streak Hardy had gone 12-1 in his previous 13 fights.
Even with four straight defeats, Hardy remains on the UFC roster, most likely due to the fact that he is a fighter that can be counted on to attempt to put on an entertaining fight, no matter who his

Kajan Johnson: I’m the kind of guy that likes to push the pace and bring it every second (Exclusive Interview)

The fight scene in my hometown of Vancouver is a very small world. Everyone seems to know everybody and we always seem to bump into someone we know all the time. I first met “Ragin” Kajan (pronounced Kay-Jaan) Johnson on my birthday at a popular night club last year. He was talking to my muay thai coach and they were discussing Kajan’s last fight from MFC 27 last November. I became a fan boy when I saw him at the club because he put on a hell of a performance against Ryan Healy and
