There are two ways to become popular in combat sports….with your mouth or with your fists. Fighters like Chael Sonnen and Floyd Mayweather have done it with their mouths (Mayweather has a few KO finishes but most are decisions). Fighters like Manny Pacquaio and Anderson Silva became famous because of exciting fights and knockouts. I’ve seen people have ... Read More

I was going to let this go. I really wasn't going to even talk about UFC 151 aka “The Jon Jones Debacle.” I planned to use this space solely to talk about this weekend’s fight between Andre Ward and Chad Dawson. So I woke up this morning, visited my Twitter page and noticed Ariel Helwani posted a 40-minute interview with Jones. I listened to it and I’ve honestly ... Read More

Numbers don’t lie: 32-4, 15-0 in the UFC, 10 straight title defenses. 13 finishes in the UFC alone. Six years undefeated. Has only lost 6 rounds in the UFC. The numbers alone show arguably the greatest fighter the world of MMA has ever seen.

We are finally here. One day away from the most anticipated rematch in UFC history. This isn’t hype. I’ve seen them all. Couture/Liddell 2 and 3, Liddell/Ortiz 2, Lesnar/Mir 2…none of them equal the anticipation and buzz Anderson Silva/Chael Sonnen 2 is drawing.
