The oil can was in full effect for Carlos Condit Saturday night. A knee injury kept him out for more than a year, but rust was not a major factor in the main event of UFC Fight Night 67, where Condit scored a TKO of a tough Thiago Alves. Though Condit was tentative at the […]

After Chris Weidman’s smashing defeat of Vitor Belfort on Saturday night, only one fight makes sense. Luke Rockhold, the former Strikeforce middleweight champion, is in the middle of a four-fight winning streak. After losing to Belfort (the old TRT-fueled version, not the mortal one) in May 2013, Rockhold has scored wins over Costas Philippou, Tim […]

Win or lose, Anthony “Rumble” Johnson was going to leave UFC 187 on Saturday as a winner. His admirable journey back to MMA prominence didn’t need to be validated by a UFC light heavyweight championship. Sure, it would have splattered his growing resume with a gigantic exclamation mark, but Johnson’s return to stardom is all anyone […]

A couple of opponents make sense as the next challenger to Chris Weidman‘s UFC middleweight title. The champ isn’t expressing a preference on who he fights. The “where,” however, is another matter. Following his title defense Saturday against Vitor Belfort at UFC 187, the fighter born and raised in Long Island, New York, said he […]

Jessica Aguilar, one of the best strawweight fighters in the world, is now on the free-agent market. Appearing on The MMA Hour, the former WSOF women’s strawweight champ announced that World Series of Fighting had released her on Monday, freeing up an opportunity to finally sign with the UFC and compete against the best 115-pound fighters […]

One should probably be careful about declaring that Mark Hunt’s best days are behind him, but perhaps it’s finally true. His one-sided loss to Stipe Miocic at UFC Fight Night 65 on Saturday was sobering for those of us still high on the Hunto-laced Kool-Aid. Most expected Miocic to win, of course. What we didn’t […]
