Georges St-Pierre vs. BJ Penn I WATCH ON UFC FIGHT PASS Two of the top young fighters in the game putting it all on the line? After years of covering boxing, the idea of that happening in the sweet science is a pipe dream at best, as rare as a Halley’s Comet sighting. But in

Dariush came back from Abu Dhabi with the win and a spot as one of the clear-cut top lightweights on the planet. He’s since turned his attention toward training for a new opponent and will have his eyes on what happens between Makhachev and Volkanovski at UFC 284. “I believe Makhachev will win, but Volkanovski

After Barboza kicked off the main card in Rio with a bang, Aldo closed it out with a celebration amongst the crowd. On a collision course since their days in the WEC, Aldo and Mendes finally crossed paths inside the Octagon, with the challenger going on the road in his quest to claim championship gold.

“The Assassin Baby” switched up his flow with a takedown in the second round and showcased that he was happy to outgrapple Figueiredo. In the third round he went back to the well, submitting Figueiredo with a rear-naked choke to become the UFC flyweight champion. It was a surreal moment for Moreno, who sat quietly

The narrative around Solomon Renfro’s LFA debut was that he was one win away from the UFC,  and Cage Fury let him claim the last win of his regional career in front of his home crowd. Unfortunately for Renfro, that’s not what happened. In less than a minute, Fugitt had Renfro on the canvas. It

Despite the defeat, Bustamante had done enough to move down to the middleweight division and challenge Menne for the 185-pound title, which he did in definitive fashion via second-round TKO at UFC 35. He would follow that performance with a successful title defense four months later at UFC 37, where he submitted Matt Lindland via

As the years went on, the sport evolved to include judges’ decisions, weight classes, and the addition of gloves. Controversy would follow, though, with the marketing of the time drawing the ire of politicians and dumping the UFC off pay-per-view. “We were losing money on every show,” Meyrowitz said. “We were banned on cable, and

Although assessing your breathing pattern and being aware of diaphragm-driven breaths can take time, eventually it can become your default breathing pattern without having to think about it. Addressing posture and upper body tightness through percussive massage (HI wording and link), mobility exercises, and focusing on breathing through the nose can go a long way

The injury process takes a toll on the body physically and biologically; a well-designed rehabilitation plan will combine external physical treatments, such as massage, compression, and cooling therapies, with internal biological strategies to ensure the body is meeting its caloric and nutrient needs to promote recovery and repair. The teams at Hyperice  and Thorne have

“I wasn’t getting a fight for a while. I had a little surgery, but the recovery was so smooth and so good that I was ready in September. So that’s when I started asking for a fight. I thought I was going to fight before Brazil but when I saw the schedule had Brazil, I

In last year’s edition of this two-part series, I included Mokaev despite the fact that he had yet to step into the Octagon. One of the most decorated amateur competitors in MMA history and unbeaten as a pro, he profiled as a can’t-miss prospect who was destined to make waves in the UFC. A year

“It was interesting to see the dynamic of the older kids and the younger kids,” Osbourne said. “The younger kids go for toys and candy, but the older kids looked for pants and shirts.” In addition to toys, kids spent the time to buy essential goods like clothes. The biggest thing the athletes and Sgt.

Griffin won the fight and the contract that night, with the bout being so good that White and the Fertittas decided to give Bonnar a contract too.  “It was a good fight,” Griffin said in typical understatement. “I don’t try to fix anything or think about what I should have done when I watch it.

In only his first fight of his career, Anthony Cassar has already gotten the full regional MMA experience. The packed arenas during Big Ten Championships and National Title matches bring an environment few others can duplicate. Being the visiting team at Carver-Hawkeye Arena can come with hostility few others can duplicate. Cassar can now attest,

While the arrival of his daughter in November has kept him busy at home as of late — and added a new wrinkle to iron out when it comes to his training routine — Simon has been champing at the bit to get busy in a fight camp and make his return to the Octagon. And

Over the years, NCAA’s grittiest team has sat back and watched Cowboys, Nittany Lions and others plant their flags in MMA soil – a sport that seems tailor-made for a post NCAA career. Historically speaking, NCAA wrestlers have arguably had more immediate success in MMA than any other discipline. BJJ practitioners do well on the

Every round was a back-and-forth affair that featured wild scrambles, big combinations, and plenty of grit. Finally, Procházka broke through in the fifth and final round. He was able to win a scramble and submit Texeira just before the final bell. If the fight had gone the distance, Texeira would have likely been granted the
