Jose Aldo’s latest title defense at UFC 179 will have little impact on his legacy. Sure, Chad Mendes might be able to stamp his place in history by putting an end to Aldo’s 17-fight winning streak in front of what could be 11,000 of the champion’s countrymen. Perhaps Aldo runs through Mendes once more, ruining […]

He wasn’t always like this. Seventeen years ago, Dan Henderson made his MMA debut at the 1997 Brazil Open. He finished two opponents within six minutes before branding himself as one of the toughest dudes on the planet. He’d go on to make his UFC debut (no, not that UFC debut) six months later, capturing the […]

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that B.J. Penn is a future UFC Hall of Famer. His mixed martial arts career began inside the Octagon at UFC 31, and over the course of his career he elevated the lightweight division to its marquee status and is one of only two men to hold UFC […]

Until the very end, there were many who wanted to believe in Chael Sonnen. You’ve heard me say this before, but I will say it again: Sonnen is one of the nicest people you’ll meet in mixed martial arts. I mean genuinely nice. He looks you in the eye when he shakes your hand, and […]

Nate Diaz isn’t afraid of a fight. Any fight. Realistically, no one in MMA is. If you choose to be locked in a cage with an elite martial artist for cash, you’re probably tilted toward the fight end of your fight-or-flight response. Diaz is, however, considerate of whom he fights, when and why. If the […]
