Vitor Belfort may have been brutally dispatched by Chris Weidman at UFC 187, but the Brazilian still feels like he has another title run left in him. Speaking with Brazil’s Sensei SporTV (h/t MMA Fighting‘s Guilherme Cruz for the translation and transcription), Belfort said he still has what it takes to be a UFC champion. “When […]

If the UFC matchmakers played baseball the way they arranged title fights, they’d be in the MLB Hall of Fame. They strike out sometimes, as they did Wednesday when they announced, via UFC Tonight, that Daniel Cormier would likely face Alexander Gustafsson—not Ryan Bader—for his first title light heavyweight title defense. But they also see a […]

It’s not that Woodley wasn’t impressed by Condit’s gritty performance in his win over Thiago Alves last Saturday night. Woodley has trained with Alves for […]

Charles Oliveira, the UFC featherweight division’s best-kept secret, is the ultimate anomaly to teething terms from casual fans. When “do Bronx” steps into the cage, the mere notion that grappling is anything but exciting always gets turned on its head. Juvenile terms such as lay-and-pray take a backseat.

Jessica Aguilar knew what her future held from the moment the UFC announced the addition of its strawweight division in early 2014. At the time, she was content in her deal with World Series of Fighting. She wanted to do her job there, but in the back of her mind, she knew the UFC would […]
