There’s nothing to be gained, nothing whatsoever, from asking MMA fighters if they can beat Floyd Mayweather. When all other things are equal, that’s a life rule you can set your watch to.

UFC 158: Bout Shake-Up Created an Interesting Opportunity for Carlos Condit

When Carlos Condit steps into the Octagon Saturday night in Montreal, it will be one day shy of four months since the last time he did so. While there will be no title on the line and no pound-for-pound great standing across from him, many of the outside factors surrounding his bout at UFC 158 […]
