UFC 161: Evans Earns Split Decision Victory Over Henderson

Rashad Evans may not have been at his best, and was certainly not at his worst, in his UFC 161 main event bout with Dan Henderson.  Evans was rocked early in the fight and then played it safe for two rounds to get the split decision victory.

Burkman Taps Fitch at WSOF 3

Jon Fitch wanted to prove his critics wrong. He felt the UFC had no reason to release him earlier this year.

Will Rashad Get His Swagger Back?

It is the night before UFC 161 and there is only one question on my mind.  Will former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans regain his swagger on Saturday night?

Three Stars: UFC on FUEL TV 10

Wow, so the Brazilians proved Saturday night they enjoy tapping people out as much as we Canadians enjoy tapping kegs.  All kidding aside, UFC on FUEL TV 10 was a success.  Leo Santos became the newest winner of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil and Thiago Silva showed that he still has knockout power.  There...

UFC on FUEL TV 10 Review

Live from Brazil it was UFC on Fuel TV 10: Nogueira vs. Werdum and folks, it did NOT disappoint.  The only thing that Brazilians take as seriously as their Jiu Jitsu is their mixed martial arts.  With a card stacked full of hometown heroes, the Brazilians sent a message to all comers:  NO JUDGES...
