UFC 187, on paper, was one of the very best combat sports cards of the year. With two title fights on top and exciting fighters sprinkled throughout, I had every hope that this event would deliver a solid night’s entertainment. Best card of the year, it turns out, was faint praise. By the time Anthony […]

UFC on Fox 15, a card that lived up to every bit of its promise, was all about renewal. From time to time the combat sports world must refresh itself with young challengers emerging from the battered remains of their predecessors. This was one of those nights. The Machida era, well and truly, has finally […]

UFC Fight Night: Mark Hunt vs. Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva is an event just begging to be treated boldly. With an eclectic mix of slumping veterans and Octagon newcomers—not to mention its unconventional Friday night start time—no one is likely to emerge from this card riding a bullet train to the top.

One of the best things about mixed martial arts is the sport’s stubborn refusal to fit in a box. To steal a line from Roddy Piper, every time you think you have all the answers, MMA goes and changes the questions. Think jiu-jitsu is going to dominate the cage forever and ever, amen? Here comes […]
