Chris Tuchscherer -A Clean Slate for ‘The Crowbar’

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – You would have a tough time getting a bunch of writers to agree on anything regarding mixed martial arts, but last August 29th, an entire press section – at least the male part – groaned in unison when Chris Tuchscherer was dropped to the canvas by an inadvertent kick to the groin by Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 102 in Portland.

Paulo Thiago: Nothing to Prove, Much to Improve

Martins Denis, UFC – Paulo Thiago likes to say that in every one of his bouts, a new fighter emerges from Brasilia, Brazil. And these are not just words; it is a necessity when you have been competing at the highest levels since your first step in the Octagon.

Behind the Numbers: Couture vs. Coleman

Michael DiSanto, UFC – It is amazing how often sports come full circle.
UFC 109 won’t be the first time that Randy Couture and Mark Coleman have tested their athletic prowess against each other. They first clashed in a freestyle wrestling match at the 1989 Olympic Festival at Oklahoma State.

Phil Davis The Dinner Table King Seeks a New Conquest

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – The prized prospect. Current light heavyweight contender Brandon Vera has been one before – 4-0 as a pro and a rookie with plenty of expectations placed on his shoulders even before he stepped into the UFC’s Octagon for the first time. It’s a situation few can fathom, simply because few have been in those shoes.

Brian Stann: The Reluctant Hero

Mike Russell, UFC – One word that will never be used to describe Brian Stann is “selfish”.
In spite of every obstacle he has determinedly driven through in his life and every accolade he has earned in his decorated military and mixed martial arts careers, Stann’s arms remain too busy saluting and shaking the hands of the platoon of supporters who stand behind him to stop for a moment and pat himself on the back.

At Long Last, Ronys Torres Enters The Octagon

Martins Denis, UFC – More than one year has passed since Ronys Torres, a native of Manacapuru city in Amazonas, Brazil, signed his name on the dotted line of a UFC contract.
The expectations for the debut of this competitor with the 18-1 résumé (eight subs, eight TKOs / KOs and only two decisions) were high, because after being chosen as the best Brazilian fighter in 2008, Torres was going to show those outside Brazil what had made him so celebrated in his home country.
