Like anyone, there are things that UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey isn’t good at, and there are things that she is. Apparently, being fake is something she’s not good at. Winning fights is. Being civil with rival Miesha Tate outside of the cage, apparently, is something she’s not good at either. Finishing fights by armbar is. The trend […]

With a win over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165, current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will do more than simply retain his title. Not only would he score a win over the one foe everyone expects to challenge him, but he would also top the records of former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes and UFC […]

Quick, name the only UFC champion that hasn’t headlined a pay-per-view. If you said Demetrious Johnson, congratulations. The headline may have been a strong hint, but you got it. It’s true. The promotion’s lightest champion has yet to be the main attraction for a pay-per-view—partially due to the fact that fighters from the smaller weight […]

Transcendent athletes are few and far between, sometimes arriving once per generation. By all measures, they’re mere mortals—ostensibly no different than any of us. They, too, are made of flesh and blood. But that doesn’t explain why they’re capable of such feats of athleticism, does it? They breathe a rarified air. They know there are […]

After Cain Velasquez‘s first-round TKO victory over Antonio Silva in their UFC 160 rematch, there should be no question that Velasquez is the most dominant heavyweight in MMA. Silva’s credentials to enter into such a fight were dubious at best. Just two fights removed from a one-sided beatdown at the hands of Velasquez, there wasn’t […]

Ryan Bader has never looked better than he did on Saturday night in Chicago. On the preliminary portion of UFC on Fox 6, the Ultimate Fighter winner met veteran fighter Vladimir Matyushenko in a record-breaking performance. After sending “The Janitor” crashing down with a right hand, Bader latched on to the head and arm of his […]
