Tyson Griffin right back in the saddle after recent setback

Chuck Mindenhall, UFC – Right after he fought Evan Dunham on June 12 at UFC 115, Tyson Griffin made the type of request that always plays like music to Dana White’s ears: Get me back in there as soon as possible. Having dropped a tough split decision to his Xtreme Couture training partner—yet coming out of the fight healthy—Griffin made the call and volunteered his services should anything open up for him.

Johny Hendricksthe happy beard guy goes mean

Chuck Mindenhall, UFC – Epiphanies can occur mid-bout for fighters, and thankfully for some the light bulb comes on before they’re lying supine on the canvas. Johny Hendricks had a little mid-fight epiphany in his last UFC bout with TJ Grant this past May, somewhere in the last round of a drag-em-out affair. The gist?

The Spider Says Quotables from The Pound for Pound King

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – In a war of words, soft-spoken middleweight champion Anderson Silva would likely be on the losing end to his August 7th challenger, the loquacious Chael Sonnen. But fights are won and lost in the Octagon, and not in the press, and that’s where Silva has reigned over the 185-pound division since late-2006.
Despite this, “The Spider” has had plenty to say over the years about his style, his upbringing, and his place in the MMA history books, and here’s a sampling from the pound for pound king.

James Toney: The Natural

Elliot Worsell, UFC – Think fighter, think James ‘Lights Out’ Toney. Although the specifics pigeonhole Toney as a professional boxer, Toney’s always been more of a fighter than anything or anyone else. While fighting peers train or learn tough, Toney just is. Some fake it, Toney does it. Fighting comes to Toney as naturally as a shoulder-roll followed by a counter right-cross and nobody, across the entire combat sports spectrum, appears at one with their sport like Toney and boxing. Some men are known as ‘The Natural’, but Toney truly is just that.
