In a short video courtesy of MMAWeekly.com, Light Heavyweights Tito Ortiz get involved in an intense staredown at today’s UFC 148 press conference. With the stakes high as Tito Ortiz looks to end his career on a high note. Both are former UFC champions at 205 lbs. With a spot in the UFC Hall of Fame locked up, Tito Ortiz summed up his final bout:
“When I almost won the middleweight title against Frank Shamrock, I threw everything out. I ain’t worried about the Hall of Fame. That’s a gimme, that’s a

In some incredibly hilarious pre-fight hype. Middlweight title contender Chael Sonnen sounds off on the why he was not afraid to go to Brazil as public enemy number one. That reason is his “rough” upbringing on the streets of West Linn, Oregon, where he was subject to such atrocites as littering and jaywalking. He even had to endure more than one year where his father barlely made $100,000, and was permanently scarred by his twin neighbors having to share a Mercedes. Describing the environment as “chaos”

Edson Barboza (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) is one of eight finalists in the 2012 ESPY Awards. An ESPY Award (short for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award) is an accolade presented by ESPN to recognize outstanding individual and team athletic achievement. Barboza has been nominated for his wheelhouse kick knock out of Terry Etim at UFC 142 in Brazil this past January.
To say Barboza is elated would be the understatement of the year. His kick earned him a pair of bonuses for both “Knockout of the Night”

Here we go ladies and gentlemen. Potentially the biggest rematch and fight in the UFC’s history happening this Saturday. It’s easy to pick your favorite, but not always easy to understand the strategy and thought process that goes into a fight. I took the time out to re-watch and analyze the first bout between these two, and found some information you might find interesting. As a little bit of a treat to whet your appetite for this weekend, let’s take a look back with a round by round

It is ironic that on the Fourth of July that an American and an Englishman are talking about fighting. That is exactly what happened today between American Brian Stann and British Michael Bisping, however.
Bisping’s recovery from recent knee surgery is going well and the Middleweight contender revealed on the UFC Tonight show that he has a couple of opponents in mind: “I was speaking to Joe Silva quite recently, and I’m hoping to fight at UFC 152 in Toronto. I suggested a couple of

Future UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz will fight his final battle against Forrest Griffin at UFC 148, ending their trilogy and marking the end of an extremely influential MMA career. While Ortiz may be retiring, he is still a fighter at heart and heads into the bout with a gameplan, hoping to go out on a high note. Both Ortiz and Griffin are no strangers to one another’s fighting styles, having fought a pair of close wars leading up to this grudge match. Recently, Ortiz spoke to MMAJunkie.com about his

UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion Jon “Bones” Jones appeared in Binghamton city court yesterday morning to request a delay in his sentencing for DWI, because he has not completed a two-day drug and alcohol evaluation at a facility in Tompkins County. The judge gave Jones three weeks to complete the evaluation and his new sentencing date is scheduled for July 31.Jones was arrested and charged with DWI after crashing his 2012 Bentley into a utility pole, no other vehicles were involved, but two of Jones’

UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre recently came out with some comments about Middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s heated tirade about Chael Sonnen. In his years as champion, St. Pierre has found himself the target of much smack talk, but has always chose to take the high road and remain quiet. GSP prefers to let his fighting skills do the talking in the Octagon. Silva has often been very similar during his long reign at 185 lbs., but it appears that the incessant trash talk and disrespect from

Sparks flew at Lagasse’s Stadium inside the Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada, which played host to the press conference for UFC 148 Silva vs. Sonnen II. Silva and Sonnen have been going back and forth with the normally reserved “Spider” getting into the verbal fray after hearing Sonnen’s trademark trash-talk lately.When asked why Silva did not initially want to fight a rematch against Sonnen, the champion responded: “I am here to fight whoever they put in front of me and sometimes my opinion doesn’t make much o

UFC Featherweight Chad Mendes was the last man to face class champion Jose Aldo, and while that fight did not go exactly how Mendes had planned, it has given a wealth of valuable MMA title fight experience. The KO loss to Aldo remains the only blemish on Mendes’ 11-1 record, and he seeks to rebound strongly at this Saturday’s UFC 148 in Las Vegas. Facing Cody Mackenzie in preliminary card action, many believe Mendes will find himself in another Featherweight title fight one day. Speaking to Fightline.com,
