World class athletes of all sports and disciplines are trying to break their way into MMA.  Some want to see if they can handle the conditioning and the challenge of the fight.  There are those trying to break into the sport to continue their quest as world class athletes and fighting for the championship belt.  [...]

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.’

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.

In my book, You Can’t Beat Me, I cover this concept.  I am going to [...]

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 [...]

Since the beginning of time people have longed to share their wisdom and knowledge with others.  The inventor of fire, the wheel and the written word all had legacies live on for thousands of years.  Now we share information and news much differently.

What is the number one submission over the past twenty UFCs?  The title should have given it away…the rear naked choke.
Currently, I have been involved in some research about strategy and game plans for an upcoming book, and this led me into looking at how fights have ended since UFC 76.  What I discovered is that 17 fighters [...]
