Around this time last year, Constantinos Philippou was on fire in the UFC’s middleweight division. The Cypriot fighter entered 2013 on a five-fight winning streak and was fresh off an impressive TKO finish over top-ranked Tim Boetsch at UFC 155. By all indications, “Costas” looked like he was on the verge of entering the title hunt […]

Cat Zingano was scheduled to be Ronda Rousey‘s next title challenger. Zingano defeated Miesha Tate at the season 17 finale of The Ultimate Fighter by TKO to earn that right.

I woke up this fine Monday morning with the realization that we’ve just begun another Ultimate Fighting Championship fight week.

Anthony Pettis seems to, more or less, have dodged a bullet. Dana White, speaking with Fox Sports, confirmed on Saturday night that the newly crowned lightweight champion has suffered a knee injury.
