Now that 2014 has officially begun, our eyes look forward with no small amount of anticipation to the future and the fights that could continue the pace that the tail end of 2013 provided. Jon Jones had his excellent fight with Alexander Gustafsson, Diego Sanchez had his brawl with Gilbert Melendez and Antonio “Big Foot” […]

In the end, it was fitting that Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre left the party together. The Octagon’s two biggest stars began their respective title reigns a little more than a month apart in 2006 and—though St-Pierre’s was briefly interrupted by Matt Serra—they’ll likely always be linked in our minds. But if 2013 is remembered […]

2014 is nearly here, and the UFC champions will be looking to retain their titles for 12 more months. Currently, seven champions have secured their belts through the end of the year, and UFC 168 will see two more up for grabs. The 10th championship is not active yet, but the inaugural UFC strawweight champion […]

The past two years have been interesting for Brad Tavares. In addition to winning all four of his showings inside the Octagon over that stretch, the 25-year-old Hawaiian has steadily made his way up the ladder in the middleweight division. While the Ray Sefo protege is his own worst critic when it comes to his […]

Looking into our collective crystal balls can be a fun experience. I’ve never been all that great at long-term predictions, and anyone who tells you they are—especially in a volatile sport such as mixed martial arts—is probably a liar. So I’ll just skip straight past that pretense and tell you that today, I’m going to […]

It would be a slight understatement to say the UFC’s 2013 has been an improvement over the organisation’s disastrous 2012. Injuries and withdrawals were so common last year that one could have been forgiven for thinking the Culinary Union had been sticking pins in a roster’s worth of voodoo dolls. In particular, the last few […]
