UFC on FX 2 Recap: Scoring issues mar Flyweight Tournament

Before the post-fight press conference for the UFC on FX 2 fight card began it appeared that the focus would most likely be on Martin Kampmann’s come from behind victory and the upcoming UFC Flyweight title bout between Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez. However that was not to be, as one of the first things that was announced was the fact that there had been a error in the Johnson versus Ian McCall bout and the fight should have been a majority draw, which would have necessitated a sudden

UFC on Fuel TV 1 Recap: Jake Ellenberger delivers in front of hometown crowd

After being promised a “dog fight” in the UFC 143 main event, UFC fans could not be blamed if they were somewhat skeptical when Diego Sanchez proclaimed that his UFC of Fuel TV main event bout against Jake Ellenberger was going to be the same.  
After 15 minutes, I’m not sure if you could construe what occurred between Sanchez and Ellenberger as a dog fight, but even if you don’t there’s no denying that it was one of the more entertaining fights that fans witnessed

Kajan Johnson: I’m the kind of guy that likes to push the pace and bring it every second (Exclusive Interview)

-Rodney Dangerfield, Comedian 1921-2004
In his nine-year career, UFC veteran and welterweight contender Jon Fitch just seems to not be able to catch a break despite being 13-1-1 in his UFC career with his only loss against current champion Georges St-Pierre. The division one NCAA wrestler from Purdue University may not have the most crowd pleasing style in MMA, but it works and it gets him the most important thing of all which of course are victories.

Five Middleweights who could beat Anderson Silva

Chael Sonnen’s comments in his recent interview with Ariel Helwani on MMAFighting.com got me thinking. The always animated and controversial UFC Middleweight made comments regarding pound for pound rankings. Now I know rankings are purely subjective, based on fans and writers personal opinions, backed up of course by statistics. But for these “fantasy” rankings, there is one thing that almost all writers, fans, and so called experts can agree with. Anderson Silva is on
