Upon further review, perhaps Yoel Romero isn’t as big a jerk as first thought. Our initial collective reaction to Romero’s controversial win over Tim Kennedy at Saturday’s UFC 178 was to sharpen up the pitchforks and double-check our stock of torches.

There may be bigger things looming in the future for Alexander Gustafsson, but you’d never know it from talking to him. “The Mauler” is coming off a career-making performance where he took light heavyweight champion Jon Jones into deeper waters than the champion had previously experienced and came up just short of dethroning the 26-year-old […]
