Jim Miller believes he has something to prove at UFC on Fox 15. The UFC’s lightweight division is arguably the deepest pool of talent under the promotional banner, and for the past five years, the New Jersey native has consistently stepped in against the best fighters the 155-pound collective has to offer. Over that stretch, […]

It’s a struggle. Blood on the canvas, smears of sweat. Panting, heaving, straining every muscle to its very limit and then beyond. Weeks and months spent in the gym, pressed against cages and mats in live fire drills, trying to get that last edge, searching to find that little wrinkle that will be the difference […]

Rustam Khabilov was a good start. Last we saw Benson Henderson, the former lightweight champion snapped his streak of eight consecutive decision victories at June’s UFC Fight Night 42, earning—wait for it—the first stoppage win of his UFC career via fourth-round submission over Khabilov.

Over the last few months, former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans has been flirting with the idea of dropping down to 185 pounds. The discussion started some time ago when he teased about the possibility of facing off against former UFC middleweight king Anderson Silva. Since that time, Evans has bounced back and forth on […]

Fighters all have something in common that goes much deeper than some cliché about brotherhood among martial artists, or all of them growing up watching The Karate Kid and old Bruce Lee movies before strapping on a set of gloves for the first time.
