Ben Askren may feel like the kid that is always picked last for kick ball back in elementary school. The undefeated, two-time collegiate national champion has the resume that should be more than enough to have landed him a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Instead, the Wisconsin native is still competing outside of the […]

Following UFC Fight Night 48, it didn’t look like the UFC rankings would be shaken up too much. Middleweight contender Michael Bisping disposed of unranked former Strikeforce champion Cung Le in the main attraction.

We’ve already taken a look at the state of the UFC’s welterweight and lightweight divisions. Today, we turn our eyes to the big boys in the heavyweight division.
