It's common knowledge to those of us who follow the sport that UFC matchmakers don't like to repeat themselves if at all possible. It bores the average fan or so they tell us and I'm not even saying that I disagree with it as a general premise to follow. It only becomes a problem when somebody a »»
While Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard basically stalled out the UFC Lightweight title chase for most of last year thanks to their UFC 125 draw and then dueling injuries, two of the more prominent characters who had to deal with the fallout were Jim Miller (20-3) and Melvin Guillard (29-9-2). Both »»
Brock Lesnar returns to the Octagon tonight as the UFC presents their last show of 2011 to face UFC newcomer/most recent Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem. The rest of the card, which will come to you live tonight starting at 7pm EST from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, is stac »»
It was only a few short months ago that the UFC made their debut in Toronto at 129, and while this card lacked the sizzle of the previous one it delivered the goods for a second time. Let's dig a little deeper and discuss what made this card so darn successful. 1. I still am reluctant to go a »»
Nothing speaks louder to the disposable nature of this card than this fight and what it is surrounded by. On Saturday night the UFC, now focused on their blossoming relationship with the FOX family of networks, will give their jilted lover Spike TV one last go round but they certainly aren't going t »»
Now that the event itself is over we know the answer to most of the questions that have hung in the air since it was announced that the UFC and Fox had gone in to business together. Things, to me at least, looked pretty much the same except for where Fox Sports predictably shoehorned itself in. We g »»
Sure, there were those heading into this weekend who found it to be their duty to defend the UFC 138 card even though we all know there was really nothing to defend. The UFC couldn't even both to tell people on their website where on the dial this show could be found as they are obviously so over th »»
Stop me if you've heard this one before; highly touted Japanese MMA star arrives on western shores and steps directly into the Octagon. We all know he's awesome, we've saw the way he showed the Far East what was up and now we know that with one, maybe two UFC wins he will be in line for a title shot »»
Hello and welcome to Inside Fights live coverage of UFC 136 which is coming to us live from Houston, Texas tonight. We will begin match by match coverage with the Spike TV portion of the card which starts at 8pm EST. Lightweight Bout Anthony Pettis (13-2) vs. Jeremy Stephens (20-6) Round »»
While the conversations surrounding Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva have been hijacked by a obnoxiously vocal minority who have declared them simply too boring to satisfy the blood lust that is apparently inherent in this sport, current UFC Light Heavyweight champ Jon Jones can do no wrong »»
Without placing blame on any one elbow I think we can agree that Mark Munoz did take a bit of steam out of the UFC of Fox 2 card that will be broadcast live from Chicago this Saturday night. But the entire card, from the Facebook prelims on up, is stacked so harping on his injury hardly seems wo »»
There are two highly questionable main card attractions on the UFC 142 slate that are bringing lopsided betting lines to those fans willing to shell out the big bucks for the pay portion of the show. First up we have the always crazy Rousimar Palhares coming in as a stunning -600 favorite and wh »»
No disrespect to Johny Hendricks, a really good fighter given a really good shot to boost his career here which he won't cash in, but the real suspense will be derived after this fight is over. Nobody would seem to be better positioned to capitalize on the recent injury to UFC welterweight champ Geo »»
I know that it is a fact that was quickly lost to history and irrelevant at this point but it is hard not to think back to the lead up to UFC Fight Night 24 when these two were originally scheduled to meet and reflect on what has changed in the interim. For Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (19-5) all is pre »»
Sitting around and finding flaws in The Ultimate Fighter is so easy it almost becomes sad and pathetic after a few moments. We know that we can't take a show like that seriously but we hardcore fans are kind of cornered into watching Tony Ferguson's drunken antics and Dana White's ridiculous, insult »»
In going back and watching the way Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos have manhandled their recent opponents I was struck by how similar, stylistically, these two appeared. Not necessarily that similar at all the two men who will meet for the UFC heavyweight championship on the inaugural UFC on Fo »»
Hello and welcome to Inside Fights live coverage of UFC 137 which finds Dana White and company once again scrambling to put together a card after one of their marquee stars went down with an injury. Lucky for them their co-main event of Nick Diaz vs. BJ Penn is a more than apt main event as two of t »»
Word on the street was that heading into this event general fan interest was down and likely to result in a low buy rate. But here at Inside Fights we were rather stoked on the card, how did it turn out and did those who turned their nose up at the event really get left behind? 1. I gave out hear »»
How ironically cruel it must feel for Anthony Pettis to find himself "Spike TVing" on the undercard of the rematch from January 1st between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. It was that fight afterall that took his projected superstar making year and turned it into a downward spiral. Pettis entere »»
Like so many fights on this card the betting line that is currently live (MacDonald +235) is far more lopsided, in my opinion, than it deserves to be. I get that people like Alan Belcher (16-6) and view him as an actual, well, talent who, despite his 16 month stint on the bench, can still make a »»
