Poll: Was UFC 205 The Best MMA Event Of All Time?

With tonight’s (Sat., November 12, 2016) historic UFC 205 in the record books from Madison Square Garden in New York City, the collective MMA world can now bask in the glory of a so-called ‘super card’ that actually delivered to the point of legitimately being in the conversation for the best mixed martial arts event

The card featured UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor making history by stopping lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez to become the first concurrent two-weight champion in UFC history in the main event, yet it also featured so, so much more. New York City’s first major MMA event also showcased the absolutely insane back-and-forth war between Tyron Woodley Stephen Thompson in the co-main event in addition to Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s entertaining women’s strawweight title bout versus a very game Karolina Kowalkiewicz.

The main card had more drama still, with Yoel Romero knocking out former champ Chris Weidman with a picturesque flying knee and Miesha Tate’s shocking retirement after her decision loss to Raquel Pennington. Finally, the prelims were home to even more exciting fights, as Frankie Edgar once again showed his legendary heart by surviving a huge head kick from Jeremy Stephens to outlast the power-hitting “Lil’ Heathen,” while top lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov picked up his first win over a top competitor in two-and-a-half years when he submitted Michael Johnson after a dominant wrestling display.

All in all, it was a legendary event that made a strong case for the best MMA event ever. Do you think it earned that lofty title?

Poll: Will Tony Ferguson Be UFC Champ?

Top UFC lightweight Tony Ferguson solidified his case for a UFC title shot by beating former champ Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of last night’s (Sat., November 5, 2016) UFC Fight Night 98 from the Arena Ciudad de Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico. Pressuring dos Anjos with a heavy mix of unorthodox strikes coming from many

Pressuring dos Anjos with a heavy mix of unorthodox strikes coming from many various angles, Ferguson picked up his ninth straight win and solidified his chances at a coveted title shot. ‘RDA’ did look effective early on and appeared to fade after a mid-fight eye poke seemed to slow his momentum, but Ferguson still showed why many feel he is the next champion of the dangerous UFC lightweight division.

But fights against Eddie Alvarez, Conor McGregor, and/or his oft-scheduled nemesis Khabib Nurmagomedov. While those three contests would form quite a gauntlet, Ferguson has proven to be more than ready to take on anyone and everyone.

Do you believe ‘El Cucuy’ will be UFC champ in the near future?

Poll: Will Fedor Succeed In Bellator MMA?

Yesterday news arrived that legendary former PRIDE FC heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko was rumored to be making his Bellator MMA debut against Matt Mitrione early next year.

Yesterday news arrived that legendary former PRIDE FC heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko was rumored to be making his Bellator MMA debut against Matt Mitrione early next year.

The news was big for the world’s second biggest MMA promotion, as any fight featuring Fedor would essentially be their biggest bout ever by default. It will certainly draw eyes to Bellator, but there are also a large number of signs that Fedor’s tenure in Bellator could be painfully short-lived.

“The Last Emperor” was nearly knocked out by UFC reject Fabio Maldonado – and some would say he was knocked out, it just wasn’t called. That’s a far cry from the once-indestructible champion who ran through every challenger he faced for ten years in his heyday.

Mitrione is no slouch, either, as while he never rose to a lofty position amongst the UFC’s elite heavyweights, he was and still is a dangerous knockout artist who can shut out nearly anyone’s lights with one punch. That may not be the best match-up for Fedor’s obviously fading chin.

What do you think? Will Fedor flourish in Bellator, or will he fail?

Poll: Who Wins Bisping vs. ‘Hendo’ II?

The MMA world has its collective sights focused on this Saturday’s (October 8, 2016) UFC 204 from Manchester Arena in Manchester, England and its pivotal middleweight championship main event featuring native son Michael Bisping and longtime rival Dan Henderson. Their backstory is possibly one of MMA’s most legendary, as “Hendo” knocked out Bisping with probably the

Their backstory is possibly one of MMA’s most legendary, as “Hendo” knocked out Bisping with probably the most aired one-punch knockout in UFC history when he demolished “The Count” with his infamous overhand right at 2009’s historic UFC 100 following a long and heated stint as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).

A lot has happened since then, as the 46-year-old ‘Hendo,’ despite his recent amazing win over former Bellator champion Hector Lombard, has still lost six of his last nine bouts, including three by knockout. Bisping, on the other hand, is at the top of his game at 37 years old, having finally captured the elusive title belt with a shocking upset over a heavily favored Luke Rockhold at UFC 199.

It all makes for quite the interesting main event in Manchester. Who are you picking to win?

Poll: Did UFC Make The Right Decision With UFC 205?

The UFC revealed some big news late last night when word came that Conor McGregor would meet lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez in the main event of November’s massive UFC 205, the first major UFC pay-per-view from New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Following a week of misdirection and speculation featuring headlines detailing how McGregor would not fight at UFC 205, that Dana White wanted him to fight Jose Aldo, and how Alvarez would be fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov rather than ‘The Notorious,’ it’s clear it was all a ruse to hide their true intentions of booking the biggest fight possible for perhaps the biggest-ever card, one where McGregor attempts to become the first simultaneous two-weight class champion in UFC history.

Since the announcement, the discussion has raged on that McGregor should have been made to vacate his featherweight championship, which he’s never defended since winning the belt from Aldo at December 2015’s UFC 194, and there’s also talk that the UFC played Nurmagomedov by offering bout agreements – which he reportedly signed – to face Alvarez at both UFC 205 and UFC 206.

Regardless, it’s clear the UFC is about making the biggest splash for their long-awaited NYC debut, and from a numbers standpoint, it’s hard to argue with the booking regardless of your opinion of if it’s fair or not. McGregor can also have the fallback title and the rematch with Aldo in his back pocket should he lose to Alvarez, so the UFC would get two huge McGregor title bout-headlined cards instead of one with this decision.

What do you think? Was McGregor vs. Alvarez the fight to make, or should they have chose another option?

Poll: Who Should Georges St-Pierre Fight In His Rumored UFC Return?

Although there’s been a astronomical amount of speculation about former UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre’s return to MMA that has largely gone nowhere over the past few years, the fighting world got what could possibly be its most concrete and promising news about that subject today. When a report surfaced revealing that GSP was rumored

When a report surfaced revealing that GSP was rumored to be returning to the Octagon at December 10’s UFC 206 pay-per-view (PPV) from Toronto, the discussion about just whom the all-time legend should face was fired back up again in a big way.

After all, the longtime former champ has been linked to a plethora of high-profile bouts in recent months, and against everyone from middleweight champion Michael Bisping to his long-rumored super fight with former middleweight champ Anderson Silva. Welterweight champ Tyron Woodley and former heated rival Nick Diaz also threw their names into the mix. To top it all off, there’s always the big money (and it would be absolutely massive) fight with featherweight champ Conor McGregor.

St. Pierre’s recent return to the USADA drug testing pool only served to add gas to the fire of these rumors, and indeed it looks like a GSP comeback is finally becoming close to a reality. No matter whom he fights, it’s going to be a spectacle that no serious MMA will obviously want to miss.

Who do you think St. Pierre should face in his return?
