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

Wanderlei Silva vs. Chris Leben set for UFC 132 in July

It appears Middleweights Chris Leben and Wanderei Silva will get what they’ve been asking for, as the two are now set to meet at UFC 132 in July. The match-up was announced Monday via UFC.com. Talks of the two sluggers meeting first began following Leben’s impressive submission victory over Yoshirio Akiyama at UFC 116. Afterward, “The Crippler” asked for a shot at Silva, whom he had stepped in for when an injury forced the Brazilian out of the bout with Akiyama just two weeks ahead of the match-up.

The Greatest Champions of the Sport.

The sport of Mixed Martial Arts has seen many great fighters and champions come and go, but only a few have cemented a legacy for the ages. I have selected five fighters, from their own respective divisions, that have not only claimed a title but shaped the sport as well. I did not add the Featherweight or the Bantamweight divisions due to the fact that most casual fans are not aware of their existence, and the divisions are relativity new compared to the five major weight divisions.

Fedor vs. Hendo: Nothing at stake but PRIDE

Both Dan Henderson and Fedor Emelianenko are two of the greatest Mixed Marital Artists to ever step into a ring or cage. Combined they have 11 MMA World Titles and we can’t forget the numerous medals in Wrestling, Sambo, and Judo. You can even argue that Hendo and Fedor are some of the most decorated Martial Artists to have ever lived. Both men have left their mark in the sport in a big way and are equally loved by hardcore fans. You know when Henderson and Emelianenko retire, those will be some big

Who’s to blame for Fedor’s downfall? Definitely not M-1 Global

Fedor Emelianenko’s dramatic defeat against Antonio Silva last weekend at the IZOD Center in New Jersey sparked a very heated, and I must admit quite one-sided, debate in Mixed Martial Arts community. Who’s to blame for Fedor Emelianenko’s two consecutive defeats? It looks like everyone has an automatic answer to this question – Fedor’s management, M-1 Global. People seem to forget that except of being Fedor’s management, M-1 Global is a fighting promotion which organizes events all around the world. And

MMA Power rankings: The Middle weights

 Terrible day. Have to take a detour on the way to work, then get a ticket because I rush the other way. The work day is fine, but when I go to submit the MW power rankings the whole computer shuts down. I really don’t feel like listing descriptions again (especially because I was really happy with the first ones, and I just think I’ll miss some points now), but the WW list will be done in full. So without further ado here’s who I believe are the most talented MW fighters in the world today:
