In the realm of mixed martial arts, there is one show, one name, one leader that truly sets the bar for the rest of the sport.  Very few choose a career as a cage-fighter without the ultimate goal of reaching this pinnacle. Rodney “Sho Nuff” Wallace has earned his chance to dance on the biggest [...]

This is the last episode of the season as the tournament winds down to the final two fighters. The finale will be this Saturday night on Spike TV where the TUF 10 winner will be awarded a UFC contract. We begin with Dana giving his speech from last episode. Dana wasn’t happy that no one [...]

Team Rashad comes in for their training session. Rashad continues to talk about how much he likes and cares for his fighters. This seems like the perfect time for a Matt Mittrione moment. Matt tells the coaches that the doctors recommended light work, but he has nothing in writing to prove it. Matt says he [...]

Rashad is wondering just how to coach and train his team when they represent seven of the remaining eight fighters. He doesn’t want to play favorites. I think this is what you would call a good problem to have, Rashad. Rashad decides that he isn’t going to coach as much. He is going to separate [...]

The episode begins with a recap of last week’s Junk vs. Mitrione fight, won by Matt Mitrione. The decision leads to Rampage taking his rage out on a door. Dana jokes that it shows just how cheap their doors are. Rashad thinks Rampage is acting like a fool. Rampage is embarrassed and offers a posthumous [...]

Rashad Evans has always been an impressive component to the UFC.  He has always been in the mix since his debut.  His heart and desire led him to win the first heavyweight TUF show in a division he was clearly not built for.  His nearly unblemished record speaks for itself, and if your only loss came at the [...]

Frank Edgar announced via Twitter today that his fight with Kurt Pellegrino is off. The two were supposed to meet at “The Ultimate Fight 10 Finale on Dec. 5. The message was short, but the news is clear. “Pelligrino pulled. Stay tuned to see replacement”

1.  That was a pretty good imitation Rampage did of Rashad’s loss to Machida. 2. Matt “Meathead” Mitrione is picked by Rashad to fight Scott Junk.  I actually think Rashad doesn’t want to win this fight. I’ve seen nothing impressive from Mitrione so far.   Wow, the last fight will be Big Baby vs Tiny [...]

Rashad opens the show clowning on Rampage’s performance in his first loss to Wanderlei Silva in Pride. Rampage jokes on Rashad’s knockout loss against Machida. It’s safe to say these guys won’t be exchanging Christmas cards this year. Fight Selection Matt Mitrione vs. Scott Junk is set for tonight. Junk has UFC experience. Matt Mitrione [...]

1. Like Brad Paisley, Darrill Schoonover likes his alcohol.  But before 8 am?  Even country songs don’t go there. 2. This just in. One of George St. Pierre’s trainers is an elf!  And he is helping train Team Rashad. 3. I feel slightly violated every time Rampage calls Schoonover “Titties.”  It just puts the wrong [...]

James comes down for breakfast and Darrill has already started drinking beer. Apparently it’s a daily ritual of his. Phil Nurse joins Team Rashad. Nurse works with GSP, and that’s all Rashad has to say to his team. Darrill looked sloppy during training. Rashad wonders what the problem is and James lets him know that [...]

1. There is nothing better than when Rashad says… “I don’t want to brag…” Oh silly Rashad. Trix are for kids and bragging is for you. 2. Matt Mitrione wants a Cortisone shot.  Rashad thinks he’s crazy.  He’s right. You don’t get a cortisone shot for a really, really sore shoulder.  You just rub Ben [...]

The episode begins with Rashad not wanting to brag about starting 4-0. He then proceeds to brag about going 4-0. Matt Mitrione hurts his shoulder during training. He wants a cortisone shot for his shoulder. Rashad thinks he just needs a massage and some ice. Marcus Jones wants to fight next for Team Rashad. He [...]

It strikes me as funny during the intro that they show Roy Nelson as the lyrcis “bare witness to the fitness of the modern warrior” are being sung. This episode begins with fighter reactions to Kimbo/Big Country. Most guys in the house seem to be impressed with Kimbo’s performance. Rampage, however, hates his cockiness. Kimbo [...]

1. Will Kimbo ever rest?…. the inner me is the enemy? Kimbo just blew my mind. I think. 2. I just looked up family man in the dictionary and surprisingly there is a picture of Kimbo Slice there! 3. Thanks to Roy Nelson, we all have to be a little bit weary about talking smack [...]

This is the episode we’ve been waiting for ever since Kimbo Slice was announced as a participant on this season of The Ultimate Fighter. Roy Nelson will battle Kimbo Slice on tonight’s show.

In recognition of UFC 100, Inside Fights recently did a three part series outlining the history of modern MMA.  The articles pointed to  the significant events that contributed to the ascent of this sport, from cage fighting to a true art form, and beyond. One extremely significant aspect behind the rapid increase in mainstream acceptance was the resounding [...]

1. I see Kimbo Slice as many things…a fighter, scary man, philosopher. But the most obvious? SPONGE! Okay, perhaps not the most obvious, though his beard has to have amazing sponge-like qualities. 2. Rashad…Roy Nelson doesn’t listen to you when he is on the ground, because he knows he would own you on the ground. [...]
