Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – In the first year of Kris McCray’s professional mixed martial arts career, he fought five times, winning all of them, with each bout ending in the first round. Three were finished in less than a minute.

Frank Curreri, WEC – Punching Yves Jabouin in the face has been on Mark Hominick’s mind for an exceptionally long time. And vice-versa.
“This fight was supposed to be booked for about eight years now,” Jabouin said.
“It was a fight that was always talked about,” Hominick said, “but never became reality.”

Frank Curreri, WEC – Musician Paul Simon famously lamented in one of his songs, “Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?”
WEC fans may be wondering the same about finisher extraordinaire Josh Grispi. The distant relative of boxing icon Rocky Marciano has been M.I.A. from the Octagon for more than a year. Now healed from ankle surgery and an alarming neck injury, the dynamic Bostonian returns to the cage this Sunday against L.C. Davis in a matchup that could have title shot implications.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – News Flash – despite what you may think, Jamie Yager’s really not a bad guy. Yeah, he talks a lot and could be seen as abrasive at times, but those of us who grew up on the east or west coasts of the United States see and do that kind of stuff a lot, so it’s really not that big of a deal.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – One of Keith Jardine’s most admirable traits is that he doesn’t get rattled by too much. ‘Been there, done that’ could be the motto of the ‘Dean of Mean’, a guy who doesn’t get too high or too low, and who can let most things slide without a second glance.

Frank Curreri, WEC – Dan Downes is an unbeaten pro fighter, but it’s his whole “Renaissance Man” resume that most distinguishes him from many of his pugilistic peers and could make the rest of us feel like one-dimensional slackers.
