A season that I have criticized over and over again for boring fights really has turned that around in the past few weeks.  The season finale is no exception to this rule.  Spike TV aired the TUF finisher for free.  The fans got to experience why PPV viewers pay big bucks.
The first fight was between [...]

In late September, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson announced on his blog that he is going to retire from fighting.  This came after falling under much scrutiny from Dana White and after landing an acting job in a major movie role.  What does this mean for the fight against Rashad Evans?
To keep with the tradition of UFC’s [...]

I love watching MMA and most things involved with it.  This truly is going to be the next big sport, worldwide.  However, not every fighter is exciting to watch in the ring or even listen to them speak.  Rashad Evans is the ‘guy.’
In the ring, he has been beaten only once professionally.  I have watched [...]

The fall season has kicked off with many premiers.  The one I was looking forward to the most was the new season of the Ultimate Fighter.  A favorite fighter of mine is coaching, and there is a certain big name fighter making his UFC debut.

I have been told that golf, racing and (recently) MMA are not sports.  Have you ever had a similar argument with a friend over what actually makes an activity a sport?  It gets frustrating because for the most part it comes down to perspective.  I have done some looking into this and have come up with [...]

Martial art students learn self-control and discipline, and they get [...]

There are many key factors and choices to make when deciding what martial arts school to attend.  There are many different arts to choose from, such as Judo, Aikido or Taekwondo.  Then within each art there are traditional and modern schools.  Finally, out of those schools there are harder or softer disciplines.
There are many established [...]

Ever wonder when people would start moving from place to place like Spiderman?  Think it is fake how martial artists run up the sides of buildings in the movies?  They may be engaging in a very quickly growing art called Parkour.
This French art has been called Parkour, and the practitioners are called traceurs.  The movements [...]

In 1775, Paul Revere let the colonials know that the British were coming.  It marked the beginning of our fight for freedom.  Now we have another fight ahead of us.  The UK and USA face off once again in the realm of MMA.
The new season of The Ultimate Fighter will begin April first.  This year [...]
