Undefeated records travel to the world of MMA to die. Auras of invincibility routinely perish in this sport, disappearing in a flash of punches, kicks, elbows and submissions. Yesterday’s “best ever” is today’s “overrated” is tomorrow’s “forgotten relic,” and so it goes. At UFC 188 Saturday evening in Mexico City, Fabricio Werdum completed the circle […]

Eddie Alvarez and Gilbert Melendez both took the scenic route to the UFC. For better or worse, Alvarez and Melendez each spent the heart of their careers toiling in smaller organizations, where they both became lightweight champions and gained reputations as fearsome, all-action fighters. Had their UFC 188 co-main event gone down a few years […]

We all get old. It’s OK. It’s part of life. That’s pretty much all life is: A march from youth to old age, and a bunch of stuff happens in the interim. For a select collection of athletes, a portion of that stuff involves prizefighting in a cage for the joy of fans and the […]

Uriah Hall was supposed to be the next Anderson Silva of the middleweight division. His performance on The Ultimate Fighter season 17 was off the charts. It thrust him up the middleweight ranks. The spinning-hook kick KO over Adam Cella remains the greatest knockout in show history. He followed that up with KO/TKO performances over […]
