On Saturday Feb. 21st, '09 the UFC brought their 95th numbered event to Spike TV. As is becoming the pattern for these free Spike shows, the live event was in England and there were no title fights or even top contender play offs. But Hey -- there was no pay per view bill either and the contestants were recognizable, so it was a pretty good deal anyway.The main event pitted two former "The

UFC 94 featured the Lightweight Champion challenging the Welterweight Champion for the Welterweight Title. On paper this match up looked to be a war for the ages as Lightweight Champ Baby Jake Penn was a former Welterweight Champion and had battled Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre to a close fought split decision loss in their one previous meeting. B. J. Penn had even publicly stated his

The UFC's big end of the year show, "ULTIMATE '08" turned out to be a shining example of THE NEW FACE OF MMA. Gone are the days when the Gracie family members could pull guard, hold on tight, wait for their opponent to tire out from struggling against their weight .......... and then slip an arm bar or choke through their weary opponent's now sloppy defense. For a few years now MMA promoters in

On the evening of Saturday, Dec. 13th, the wrestlers reigned supreme at The Ultimate Fighter Reality Show Season #8 Finale. The most anticipated match of the evening was the lightweight final between Dana White and pretty much everyone else's favorite, the fighting Flipino nurse from Brooklyn, Phillipe Nover and the macho Mexican conqueror of The Lunitic Junnie Browning, an act which in itself

Wednesday December 10th the UFC took their show to North Carolina and put their wares on display for a crowd that was primarily made up of troops and dependants from Fort Bragg. The theme of the evening was the collection of donations for the "FALLEN HERO'S FUND", which is working to establish a Traumatic Brain Injury treatment center for veterans of the recent wars in the middle east.

On Saturday December 6th boxing's biggest star entered the ring for what turned out to be his last performance at the top of his game. Oscar De La Hoya has won ten world titles at six different weight classes and has consistently commanded more money for his performances than any other boxer on the planet. If a boxer wanted to make the most money for a single fight in his entire career --- he had

November '08 will be remembered as a big month for British boxers. At the beginning of the month Bernard Hopkins conqueror Joe Calzaghe stormed The Garden and overwhelmed the legend that was Roy Jones Jr. Then at the end of the month The Manchester Masher Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton descended on Sin City and destroyed Brooklyn speedster Paulie Malignaggi.Hatton was returning to the site of his only

Raw power and sheer athleticism overcame a wealth of MMA experience and knowledge last Saturday evening, when Big Brock Lesnar TKO'd Randy "The Natural" Couture to become the New UFC Heavyweight Champion. The big question coming into the fight was if a powerful, but very inexperienced fighter could defeat a much older, but also much wiser and vastly more experienced cage warrior ........... who

The Heavyweight Champion of the UFC will finally return to the eight sided cage known as the Octagon on Saturday Evening November 15th. Randy "The Natural" Couture has been out of action for well over a year due to contractual disputes, but with that now behind him the ageless 45 year old warrior is ready to face the untested, yet still feared gargantuan wrestling monster Brock Lesnar.

Excitement is always high when big time Boxing returns to the Mecca of the sport, Madison Square Garden and Saturday night's main event lived up to all expectations. Joe Calzaghe arrived ready to remain undefeated and talking of retiring after defeating the best of his class. His calm and relaxed demeanor radiated the confidence of a fighter who couldn't even imagine defeat. Many thought that Roy

The World Extreme Cagefighting organization's last venue of this year looked to be a showcase of veteran stars and an affirmation of the rankings. The stellar event had been postponed from September due to the threat of Hurricane Ike, but hadn't lost any of its star power in the interim.

Everyone who works at anything can have an off day ... or night .... and boy did Anderson Silva have one of those this past Saturday. The UFC middleweight champion and supposed best fighter on the planet appeared to have arrived on the wrong set and seemed to think that evening he was competing on Dancing With The Stars. The first two rounds saw "The Spider" dance around the cage like a Brazilian

Saturday night (Oct. 25th) the reputed Best Pound 4 Pound Fighter In The World, Anderson "The Spider" Silva will headline Ultimate Fighting Championship #90, when he defends his middleweight crown from the Crunching Canuck, Patrick "The Predator" Cote. I guess one might debate whether or not Anderson Silva is the very best pound 4 pound fighter of any kind in the entire world ..... but there is

Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins was at the twilight of his illustrious career. Hopkins had amassed twenty successful title defenses along the way to becoming the longest reigning middleweight champion of all boxing history. He had defeated other legendary middleweights and stunned Antonio Tarver and relived the Floridian of his light heavyweight strap. Bernard's position in Boxing's hall of

Seventeen days ago on a huge venue in front of millions of fans on network television Elite Xtreme Combat's premier heavyweight contestant and most popular fan attraction was knocked silly with one quick, off balance punch, by a lightheavy weight last minute substitute; and KO'd in just 14 seconds of the first round. Now, seventeen days later, the EXC is dead, gone, never to be seen again!Yep,

England's Native son Michael "The Count" Bisping made The Queen's Country proud this past Saturday evening when he completely out fought his note worthy and doggedly tough opponent Chris "The Crippler" Leben. Bisping was simply one step ahead and two beats faster all night long. The Crippler landed a couple good counter shots and one powerful take down, but mostly he demonstrated his new found,

Saturday evening Showtime Network presented the best and the worst aspects of the Boxing game. While Chad Dawson and Antonio Tarver exhibited the skills expected in a classic boxing passing of the torch match, defending WBC heavyweight champion Sam Peter proved that some amateur boxers never quite understand what it means to be a professional prize fighter, no matter how exulted their

Today we will get to experience one of those now rare evenings in which Two major Boxing title matches will be on display -- and even on subscription cable TV. Here in the twenty first century, fights such as those presented this evening are usually viewed at the top of a pay per view card and below them would be two or three fights featuring near nobodies and complete nobodies.

The main event for CBS's Saturday Fight Night was a comedy of errors. Four point three million viewers tuned in to see the main event spectacle of internet street fighting sensation Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson dissecting ancient MMA legend Ken Shamrock. But ---- the first thing they heard was that the Kimbo vs. Ken match wasn't going to happen because Shamrock had managed to sustain a six stitch

Tonight at nine o'clock Elite Xtreme Combat will once again bring their Mixed Martial Arts show to network television. Unfortunately they have again decided to headline the CBS venue with a spectacle fight instead of a high level sporting match. The EXC promoters and CBS suits are convinced that internet street fighting sensation Kimbo Slice is a bigger draw than the established stars of MMA.
