In MMA, we’re constantly being reminded that one of the many things that makes our sport great is the mutual respect and admiration between the athletes. As fans, there’s something inspiring about seeing two guys pound each other for 15 minutes and then smile and shake hands afterward. It’s also fun to see guys fight when it seems like they’re really enjoying themselves. The sportsmanship, the camaraderie, the brotherhood; that stuff is great. But last night at UFC 115, all the smoking-and-joking and gripping-and-grinning might well have cost Pat Barry a win.

UFC 115 Aftermath: Everybody in the World Wants Chuck to Retire; Will he Listen?

Regardless of how you think of Chuck Liddell on a personal level, it was hard not to feel bad for the guy last night. Liddell seemed just seconds away from heading back to his corner up 1-0 during his UFC 115 main event fight against Rich Franklin, after showing off a surprisingly diverse striking attack and even a takedown during the opening stanza. Then Franklin clipped him with a short right square on the jaw and as soon as Liddell’s rigid body hit the canvas, you could almost hear the entire MMA world sigh and say: Well, that’s the end of that.

And it was. Hopefully for good this time. In the above video with Ariel Helwani, UFC President Dana White guaran-damn-tees that we’ve really, absolutely seen the end of “The Iceman” in the Octagon. Liddell was taken to the hospital immediately following the fight, so he and White had not yet spoken at the time of filming, but there’s no arguing with the decision. At this point in his career – after three consecutive ugly KO losses – it’s starting to look like a solid gust of wind has to potential to knock Liddell stiff. It’s time to pull the plug on this thing while he still has most of his faculties.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — MMA Fighting spoke to Matt Wiman following his controversial UFC 115 win over Mac Danzig Saturday night.

Wiman talked about why he thought the fight was stopped too early, his thought process during the entire sequence and whether he thinks Danzig deserves an immediate rematch.

Check out the video interview below.

UFC 115 Post-Fight Presser

Some decent fights tonight. I’m guessing we’ve seen the last of "The Crow" and "The Iceman" and we’ll be seeing a lot more of Rich Franklin (once his arm heals) Rory MacDonald, Martin Kampmann, Carlos Condit and Claude Patrick.
I’…

I’m thinking Cro Cop UFC career may be close to its expiry date considering he is on the last fight of his contract and he carries an exorbitant price tag, but you never know.

Check out the post-fight presser after the jump. It should start around 1:30am ET.

Carlos Condit Wrecks MacDonald’s Face

Carlos Condit came out for the first two rounds playing a soft game. Rory MacDonald had some great trips, takedowns, and overall standup game. He was able to control Condit for the first two rounds. It wasn’t looking good for Condit. He had to get a stoppage to win the fight. Carlos Condit’s coach Greg […]

Carlos Condit’s coach Greg Jackson was yelling at him on the stool, saying something like “Its time for war, make it a war.”

And a war, Condit made it.

Carlos got MacDonald on the ground early, and dropped elbow after elbow, Evan Tanner style. Condit maintained top control the whole third round. The referee stopped the fight with 9 seconds left on the clock. MacDonald admitted it was a good stoppage. I think it was as well. Just one more shot was more than unnecessary. When MacDonald stood for the decision he looked like Slough from The Goonies. Both eyes were jacked up, his nose was 3x the normal size, and his face was more than bloodied. It would’ve been a 10-8 round had the referee not stopped the fight.

I was glad to have seen more of Rory MacDonald in this fight. He has a lot of potential. He manhandled Condit in those first rounds and I expect good things from him in the future.

Evan Dunham Defeats Tyson Griffin

We called this one. Dunham had the reach and submission game to cause problems for Griffin. Griffin landed a few huge leg kicks throughout the 3 rounds, but Dunham made Griffin pay with punches.
Dunham for two rounds had Griffin’s back while trying to cinch the rear naked choke. It wasn’t going to happen though. Nobody […]

Dunham for two rounds had Griffin’s back while trying to cinch the rear naked choke. It wasn’t going to happen though. Nobody submits Tyson. Griffin head dumped Dunham one time, but he was ok.

An awesome fight, but Dunham was able to control all three rounds and take the win.
