Since the beginning, the only real constants in the UFC heavyweight division have been disorder and delay. Even in a sport that so often thrives on chaos, the 265-pound class has always been an abject mess. It stumbles from one calamity to the next, stuck in perpetual rebuilding mode, as one champion after another proves […]

Chris Weidman is the UFC middleweight champion of the world, and he will defend that title for the third time this weekend at UFC 187 against Vitor Belfort. Yet, we seem to be forgetting how good Weidman actually is. Weidman saw a quick rise in this sport. The Serra-Longo fighter was much hyped when he […]

Saturday’s news that Phil “CM Punk” Brooks signed a multifight contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship sent the mixed martial arts world into a frenzy. It is understandable.
