The term “gatekeeper” is so often used pejoratively. I beg to differ. How else do you know who is truly befitting of the VIP section without someone manning the velvet ropes? What is a bar without a bouncer? Just a bunch of drunken chaos is what. We can’t have the UFC being in chaos, so […]

Conor McGregor, the loquacious 26-year-old Irishman with a silver tongue, golden fists and cash-green dreams, had less than two minutes to style on poor Dustin Poirier at UFC 178. Then it was all over, a left hand just missing Poirier‘s head but the attached elbow doing no such thing, leaving the No. 5 featherweight in […]

The tide of public opinion is now more like a flash flood. If you get caught in it, grab on to something, anything at all, and hang on for dear life. It is powerful, but will abate shortly. That might explain the sounds of supplication wafting off Park Avenue Friday morning. You could almost hear […]

However, The Ultimate Fighter veteran has quietly won five in a row, landing him in the Top 15 lightweight rankings and giving him one of the longer winning streaks in the world’s top MMA promotion.

It’s a very rare occasion that Dana White and the UFC actively go against the fans’ wishes, but they did just that when they passed on former Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren.

As the quickest-growing mixed martial arts outpost in the world, the UFC is accustomed to weeding out the weak. They’ve been ridiculed in the past for pushing out well-rounded athletes who just can’t seem to finish fights, but for the most part, the promotion has been spot-on with their hiring and firing. However, there is […]
