Heading into UFC on Fox 8’s main event from Seattle on Saturday night, we heard about the punching power and wrestling of John Moraga. By the time the fight came to its conclusion we hadn’t seen much of either of those things, but we did get to witness a dominating performance by UFC flyweight champion […]

We all know the story of Roy Nelson’s unbreakable chin. Forged by Biggoron high in the alcoves of Death Mountain and crafted with only the finest of bomb flowers, the Petra mandibulo is capable of withstanding a Mark 3 blast and doubles as a cardboard baler on weekends. Fact: After selecting one of his bastard offspring for sacrifice each night, Jay Leno prays to Roy Nelson for strength before tucking himself into bed. The dude’s got a solid jaw, is what we’re saying.
As we are also aware, “Big Country” set a career record for strikes absorbed in the UFC (clocking in at a ridiculously ridiculous 437) without being knocked out during his three round drubbing at the hands of Stipe Miocic last month. While it’s a damn respectable honor to hold in one regard, it’s also a sign that maybe, just maybe, he should consider turning down that 4th helping of DiaBeef Jerky every now and again.
But if Nelson is able to successfully negotiate a new contract, it looks like he will be the next man to face off with former Strikeforce heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 166 in October. If that ends up being the case, we’ll surely be in for a lot more of what’s depicted above. Mainly, Roy Nelson eating shots like they are pork rinds dipped in Sriracha. The above video, entitled “Clubbed to Death,” highlights Nelson’s positively Bruce Willian chin in his performances against Miocic, Junior Dos Santos and Fabricio Werdum and is truly something to behold. For the sake of fairness, his handful of overhand deathball KO’s are sprinkled in as well, so enjoy.

In the end it wasn’t age that caught up with Anderson Silva, it was hubris. Silva has made a career out of clowning his opponents when he felt that they didn’t deserve to be in the Octagon with him. We saw that in his last fight when he moved up to light heavyweight to take […]

For the most part, UFC weigh-ins go down without a hitch. A bunch of almost naked fighters step on the scale, flex, mean mug each other during the staredown, and then walk off the stage. Sometimes there is pushing and shoving and brief trash-talk and gesticulating. It’s rare that the truly bizarre happens. Friday’s UFC […]

It was a closely contested battle, and odds are that if the decision had gone the other way, no one would have argued it. As it was, UFC 161 ended with Rashad Evans having his hand raised in a split-decision victory over Dan Henderson on Saturday night. The victory ended a two-fight losing streak for […]
