There is no such thing as consensus when discussing MMA history. It’s both fractured and fiercely contested, with fans separating into self-selected groups and arguing on message boards and Twitter. Dividing lines have been drawn and hyperbole reigns. If you want to see how bad it can get, simply ask any group of hardcore fans […]

The highs were high and the lows were low at UFC Fight Night 70. There were brutal knockouts and there were dreadful bores scattered throughout the night, but the card delivered on the whole. The biggest winner of the night was, clearly, main eventer Yoel Romero, who defeated Lyoto Machida via third-round knockout. The Olympic silver […]
