The MMA Wrap-Up: UFC on FOX 2 Edition

Filed under:

The MMA Wrap-Up returns after a brief hiatus to turn its critical eye upon the UFC’s first full FOX event. It was a night of slow grinds and lackluster decisions in Chicago, but where does that leave the UFC in its quest to win over a network TV audience? Give us a few precious minutes, and the Wrap-Up will give you something resembling an answer. Maybe.

MMA Wrap-Up: UFC 140 Edition

Filed under: , , ,

UFC 140 was an arm-snapping, face-smashing good time for some, but the main event saw Jon Jones finish another former champ before finally turning the boos to cheers, at least for the moment. Now the MMA Wrap-Up returns to ask what it will take for fans to actually get behind the dominant light heavyweight champ. Trust me, it’s good fun. Even if it’s not, it’ll all be over in a couple minutes, so how bad could it be? Don’t answer that.

The MMA Wrap-Up: UFC 139 Edition

Filed under: , ,

UFC 139 might have been the event that flew under many people’s radar, but the main event delivered in a big, big way. Now the MMA Wrap-Up returns to examine the questions of Dan Henderson and “Shogun” Rua‘s greatness, and ask where it falls among the great achievements of our time. Or, you know, something like that.

The MMA Wrap-Up: UFC 137 Edition

Filed under:

The official word from Dana White was that welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre was enraged by Nick Diaz‘s post-fight comments at UFC 137, but could it be that GSP needs Diaz now even more than Diaz needs GSP? The MMA Wrap-Up examines the issue, and all it will cost you is several minutes of your life that you can never get back.

The MMA Wrap-Up: Post-UFC 136 Edition

Filed under:

Another big event is in the books, but this it’s not either of the two title fights from UFC 136 that has the MMA world buzzing. No, it’s what happened on the mic rather than in the cage that has us all wondering, is Chael Sonnen serious? And if so, is that a good thing? We don’t know, but we’re going to do our best to get to the bottom of what it all means. Whatcha gonna do when the MMA Wrap-Up runs wild on you, brother?!

The MMA Wrap-Up: Post-UFC 135 Edition

Filed under:

After a dominant victory by UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones in Denver at UFC 135, the MMA Wrap-Up returns to look at whether we’ve learned anything from the rise and fall of his would-be superstar predecessors. And yeah, we also pause to wonder how Steven Seagal keeps getting backstage to make smug remarks about fighters who wisely refuse him entry to their locker rooms. Just good clean fun, really.
