Yoel Romero Gets Chance to Shine at UFC 178, but Is Smart Money on Tim Kennedy?

Lyoto Gets One More Chance to Jumpstart ‘Machida Era’ at UFC 175

At this point, it’s one of our sport’s most persistent jokes. Five years after the UFC broadcast team prematurely bellowed the dawn of a new day in the light heavyweight division, the “Lyoto Machida Era” has become the “Rickson by arm bar” of squandered potential. When Machida meets Chris Weidman on Saturday at UFC 175, […]
