Chris Leben: ‘UFC Left Me Broken with Nothing’

Fighters are truly a particular breed. To understand how they think and operate, it would take a whole team of underground scientists conducting “secret” research somewhere in New Mexico. But as private as that sort of research would be, sports is arguably the most public format in the world today.  Athletes rarely separate themselves from […]

Dominick Cruz: Urijah Faber Will Always Be a No. 1 Contender and Nothing More

Have We Learned Nothing from Watching Chael Sonnen’s Schtick?

In my dreams, there will come a day when MMA fans and media around the world stop taking the things that Chael Sonnen says when he’s quite obviously building up a fight at face value. This is not that day. And from the looks of it, that day isn’t coming anytime soon.  On Sunday night’s […]
