LowKick.com Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum Community Predictions

This weekend we get the second straight week of two top ten killers going at it in a heavyweight, main event fight. Only this time it’s guys who are the best grappler, and striker, currently competing in the hw division of mixed martial arts. Overeem is currently riding a tidal wave of momentum. He holds belts in three promotions, and two different sports. While not always going up against the best competition “the reem” has been nothing short of destructive against the fighters unfortunate enough to share

Mirko Cro Cop: A Retrospective on Career of MMA Legend

I assume fellow Cro Cop fans like me are in their basement drying tears with their Croatian flags with Wild Boys playing in the background. While yes mourning is expected in a time like this, we need to keep our heads high because this is a time to have a look back at the legend that is Mirko Cro Cop.

UFC 128: Mirko Cro Cop’s Last Chance

There is no doubt among hardcore fans and experts that Mirko Filipovic aka “Cro Cop” is a legend in the game and has left a huge imprint in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.

You can always train hard, but without competing it will only have a negative effect during the fight.  I had four fights during the recent months. I’m always in shape, and always ready to fight, both physically and mentally. So I think in this case more is better. And I would advise the same thing to Fedor

MMA power rankings

Rankings have become a mess in MMA. Some folks like myslef want to use wins over quality competition as the main means to judge fighters at the top of the game (rankings wise). Some others want to judge rankings on more of a “whom would beat whom” basis.
