Like a desert mirage, these big-time UFC pay-per-views have a way of looking different from up close. Take UFC 187 for example. We once thought Jon Jones would be there, defending his light heavyweight championship for the ninth time. For a while, we even thought Khabib Nurmagomedov was coming to Las Vegas to claim the […]

We haven’t even seen the fights yet, and UFC 186 is already among the UFC’s wildest events of the year. What was originally meant to be a championship doubleheader is now reduced to one. An injury to bantamweight titlist T.J. Dillashaw swept a proposed rematch with Renan Barao off the table until July, leaving Demetrious […]

Even as it limps down the home stretch, UFC on Fox 15 remains the best MMA card of the month. Yoel Romero is out, owing to a knee injury, but the UFC’s second foray of the year into network television still promises to be a rollicking good time. Luke Rockhold and Lyoto Machida fight for presumed […]

This is Anthony Pettis‘ chance to really get his reign on a roll. After his early UFC days were afflicted by injury and unforeseen circumstances, Pettis has been sublime during the last 18 months or so. If he can jet past Rafael dos Anjos on Saturday at UFC 185, it could go a long way […]

UFC 184 may be limping and exhausted, but at least the finish line is in sight. At this point, Ronda Rousey’s women’s bantamweight title defense against Cat Zingano will do nicely as Saturday night’s main event. The much-ballyhooed debut of Holly Holm in the co-main won’t be anything to sneeze at, either. It’ll all be […]

Funny thing about these mixed weight “superfights.” They always sound great in theory. Maybe when you’re just spitballing ideas over a couple cold ones at the local watering hole, weight classes seem negotiable. Perhaps when you’re trying to dream up a bestselling pay-per-view event on the whiteboard at Zuffa LLC world headquarters, the rules feel […]
