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 »»
Hello everybody, Chris Roberts here bringing you live play by play action for the semi-final rounds of the Strikeforce World Heavyweight Grand Prix. Showtime has five high profile fights lined up for us tonight. Here is the card we will be witnessing tonight. Josh Barnett (261) vs. Sergei Kharito »»
Welterweight tournaments come and go but as the fifth (full) season of Bellator dawns on us the take away news story is the oh so obvious tip off of things to come as it was announced recently that all of their prelims will now be broadcast live on Spike.com. That is as clear of signal as we will ev »»
Minotauro Nogueira made a loud statement in his first ever fight in his home country at UFC Rio as he overcame his underdog status and beat rising prospect Brendan Schaub via first round TKO. Coming into the contest many gave Nogueira little chance to beat the up and comer despite the fact that »»
I know I criticize the UFC for the way they structure their hierarchy of matches but here is a case of them getting it very right. Originally it was to be Rousimar Palhares (12-3) taking on fellow Brazilian Alexandre Ferreira but fate intervened and Dan Miller (13-5) did what he does best, namely en »»
Inside Fights MMA Pound for Pound Rankings 1. Georges St. Pierre “Even though Jake Shields may have stolen a round or two from GSP in Toronto St. Pierre moves into the number one slot alone after being tied with Anderson Silva on our last poll. His current win streak is nine and the hit li »»
Amir Sadollah (5-2: 1 KO, 2 SUBs) seems to have more job security in the UFC than most others on the roster. He has the Ultimate Fighter title on his resume which usually helps people stick around longer than they should and he's very good at going out there and being the corporate face of the compa »»
I don't have the stats to back this fact up of course but I find it highly unlikely that the UFC could put together two other men on their roster that would even come close to the 122 fights that these two will bring to Philly with this weekend. Much was made about Brian Ebersole (47-14-1, 13 KO »»
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 »»
If only we could ignore for the evening the unfortunate fact that Saturday's Strikeforce card, no matter how awesome, is just another baby step in a methodical plan by our MMA overlords to cruise control a once great fight promotion straight off a cliff. But those thoughts will most likely be al »»
When the UFC announced months ago that they would return to Brazil for the first time in 13 years it was viewed as a bold if entirely obvious move. And, as expected, the card tonight, which was broadcast live from the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, was stacked with fighters who hail from that cou »»
The heavyweight division, being what it is (the polar opposite of the lightweight division), makes it a lot easier for a young prospect to catapult himself up the ladder. Take Matt Mitrione for instance, the laughing stock of The Ultimate Fighter 10 who is now, somehow, 5-0 with all of those wins co »»
A knee injury has forced Rick Hawn out of the upcoming Bellator welterweight tournament that was scheduled to begin September 10th in Atlantic City, NJ. Hawn broke the news through his Twitter account though Bellator has yet to confirm his withdrawal or name a replacement for him. Hawn was scheduled »»
There is no doubt in my mind that this fight will be awesome. Even if Chris Lytle (30-18-5) decides to go against everything he stands for, and is known for, and plays it safe there is no chance that this fight with Dan Hardy (23-9) will produce even one dull round. But it is another case of the UFC »»
Former UFC standout middleweight Gerald Harris is scheduled to make his debut with DREAM on September 24 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. He will face journeyman veteran Kazuhiro Nakamura who currently has a record of 15-10. The show, DREAM.17, has no US broadcast plans as of yet though »»
If there is one thing that we can all agree on when discussing UFC 133 it would be just how weak the card is as a whole, but nothing epitomizes just how terrible it is than this fight and its place on the main card of a PPV. There's very little at stake as both combatants look to bounce back fro »»
