Urijah Faber vs Mike Brown
Urijah Faber will look to defend his title for a sixth time, against the number one contender Mike Brown.

The System Doesn't Like Rashad Evans
We’re having some technical difficulties with the home page and it’s prevented us from posting a bunch of the material we’ve prepared in advance of UFC 88. The one thing we have posted is the career TPR Report for Rashad Evans.
Rashad is precisely the type of fighter that the FightMetric scoring system undervalues. Specifically, a fighter that relies on takedowns and positioning without keeping active with strikes, submissions, and guard passes. Taking a look at the whole of Rashad’s career, his median TPR is 58.5, which is extremely low, considering that he is undefeated. Compare that to Chuck Liddell, who, despite five losses, has a median TPR of 79.
Stay tuned for more material over the next week or so. Once we get the technical glitches worked out, there’s plenty of stats to cover.

It's a Slow Week
Not much going on in the world of MMA at the moment. We’re getting ready for UFC 88 behind-the-scenes, and will be posting some Chuck Liddell and Rashad Evans fights later this month. In the meantime, we just posted Kenny Florian vs. Roger Huerta — apologies for the tardiness.
So what happens when there’s nothing else to do? We come up with something a little different. Last time it was our hugely-popular quiz. This time, it’s not nearly as interesting.
We really have to aplogize in advance. What you’ll find here is probably the best example of why nerds should not be allowed near the sport of MMA. And yet…
So we present to you The Worst Joke in MMA History.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Jason Lambert – The New and Improved ‘Punisher’
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – As a 5 foot 10 heavyweight, nothing was ever going to be easy for Jason Lambert. But as he began his pro mixed martial arts career in 2001 and started battling it out with the big boys, he found out that more often than not, he was able to not only hold his own, but win.
