There are a number of up-and-coming fighters making names for themselves these days. These fighters are all encroaching on title shots or just getting their feet under them in large promotions like the UFC.
As seen in every sport, the hungrier the athlete, the better the results. Hunger drives athletes to bring their best every time and prove they are better than their opponents.
Here are the hungriest fighters in each division.
Speculation is running wild as lightweights Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis continue to be linked together for their next respective fights. Both men figure to be a fight or two away from title contention, which makes a fight between the two an attra…
Speculation is running wild as lightweights Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis continue to be linked together for their next respective fights. Both men figure to be a fight or two away from title contention, which makes a fight between the two an attractive option.
Both WEC veterans have shown to be formidable in their UFC careers, despite the fact that Cerrone has fought seven times in just over a year since the merger. Pettis, meanwhile, has only fought three times.
Here is a head-to-toe breakdown of their eventual bout, whenever it should happen.

Saturday night’s Strikeforce card went incredibly well, providing fight fans with great action and surprising winners. Finishes were abundant and excitement was plenty, providing one of the best cards of the second half of 2012.
Out of the smoke, we got a new title challenger, solid prospect performances and kept the women’s bantamweight queen.
Here are some matches going forward that Strikeforce should consider.
Without a doubt Ronda Rousey is the face of women’s MMA at this day and age. She has inherited that honor from Gina Carano, who these days finds herself involved more in Hollywood than in the cage.Since winning the Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Cham…
Without a doubt Ronda Rousey is the face of women’s MMA at this day and age. She has inherited that honor from Gina Carano, who these days finds herself involved more in Hollywood than in the cage.
Since winning the Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Championship, Rousey has garnered all sorts of hype from fans, fighters and media alike. Her 5-0 record with five first-round armbars definitely proves that she is talented and dangerous.
Adding to her hype are her promotional abilities, stunning looks and acid tongue. She has been able to attract all sorts of media attention, from TMZ to ESPN.
But, has Rousey been overhyped to this point?
One could argue that she has been, considering that she has only five wins. The only fight which carries any weight on her record is the one with Miesha Tate.
Of course that is all arguable.
Also, some fans will argue that what is barring Rousey from being what she is hyped to be is a fight with Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos. Santos, who is currently serving a suspension for doping, was considered the top dog in the WMMA world.
Santos possesses a game that could rival that of Rousey. Her standup is lethal, and her grappling is game as well.
Until then, Rousey will be the top dog—that is, if she is able to defeat Sarah Kaufman tonight.
Getting to Rousey‘s being overhyped, I really do not believe she is. Women’s MMA, being as shallow in talent as it is, does not have many stars.
Rousey is the star of WMMA, and for good reason. She talks the talk and walks the walk.
Therefore, she has not been overhyped.

Miesha Tate has gone from headlining a Strikeforce card to a spot on Saturday’s undercard. Since her loss to Ronda Rousey in her latest bout and the loss of her championship belt, Tate has been enamored with the thought of a rematch with the submission ace.
Take, for instance, her thoughts on coaching an all-women’s Ultimate Fighter season across from Rousey:
I love it. I think that would be the fight to put on if they were going to do that. It doesn’t get any better than Ronda and I; two ladies who honestly have a rival between each other.”
I think it would be a huge selling point and a huge hit. Ronda knows how to talk trash, and hype things and whatnot, and I’d just be keeping it cool and have fun. I think we play well off of each other.
Out of any women’s mixed martial arts fight that’s happened before, we set the bar higher. I think there wouldn’t be two better females to host an Ultimate Fighting reality show.
Although this isn’t a big deal, it is just one of many examples of Miesha Tate having too much focus on Rousey.
Saturday night, Tate meets an underrated Julie Kedzie. A solid striker, Kedzie has a great chance of scoring an upset, especially if Tate is looking past her. Kedzie is a Greg Jackson-trained fighter, which means she is going to come into this fight prepared and with a good game plan.
From watching the weigh-ins, it looks like Tate is a little too relaxed for this fight. It is as if she thinks this fight is not a big deal and she is banking on a meeting with Rousey.
This is not the right mindset.
Obviously, the loss of her championship belt is something that understandably is going to divert her attention. But the best way for her to get a shot at closure is to be 100 percent focused on her opponent, who has more than a good chance of beating her.
Come fight night, if Tate comes in unprepared, over-relaxed and with her mind elsewhere, she is going to struggle.
Hopefully, her focus on Rousey is making her more prepared than ever. That way, we can see another fun fight between Tate and Rousey.

Strikeforce rolls in Saturday night headlined by a women’s title match between Olympic judoka Ronda Rousey, the popular champion, and Sarah Kaufman, the game challenger.
This may be the best current women’s matchup the sport has to offer currently. With Cris “Cyborg” Santos still serving suspension, Miesha Tate coming off the loss of her title and Gina Carano off doing other things, this bout serves to be a great contrast of styles.
Here are the full main card predictions for Saturday’s Strikeforce event.
