  1. The Great Cochrane

    Ray Longo says Vitor Belfort is "living in a different universe".

    Stylistically, Weidman would destroy him. The reason Jacare, Rockhold and Belfort are top threats is because they have kryptonite for Weidman's greatest strength - his wrestling.

    John Dodson out for a year following torn ACL/Meniscus

    That seems to make the most sense, although I think it's a little ridiculous for Ian McCall to be ranked number 3 being that he's 1-3 inside the octagon and his lone win isn't even over a guy who's officially ranked. But nobody really makes sense other than Joe Bi Wan who needs a while to climb...

    Jose Aldo fires off at Mendes, calls him a "PED using Pussy"

    There's definitely no love lost between UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo and his UFC 176 opponent Chad Mendes. "Money" told Ariel Helwani that he believed Aldo was using the injury to duck him which angered the featherweight champion. In retaliation, Aldo fired back on combate.com which...

    Chad Mendes fed up with Aldo: "He can't run forever"

    Chad Mendes had to be pretty upset with the recent cancellation of UFC 176. He was set to challenge Jose Aldo a second time for the UFC Featherweight Championship before Aldo pulled out the fight citing a foot injury and the card altogether was scrapped. But apparently according to Mendes...

    Chris Lytle replaces Chael Sonnen as UFC on Fox Analyst.

    Former longtime UFC Welterweight Chris Lytle will finally be making his return to the UFC, but not to he octagon. In light of the recent failed drug tests from Chael Sonnen which involved his hefty $250,000 fine from the NSAC; "Lights Out" will look to replace The American Gangster at the...

    Cris Cyborg Justino set to fight at 135 lbs for Invicta FC.

    Cited source: BJPenn.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Well well, Swinny If Cyborg makes the cut you can't say shit about making that fight happen either. I still think Cyborg is less of a threat then Holly Holm. She may be tougher, but unlike Holly...

    Ray Longo says Vitor Belfort is "living in a different universe".

    One of the man behind Chris Weidman's recent success as champion is his striking coach Ray Longo, and he's helped Weidman achieve some incredible success. On top of beating Anderson Silva who's highly regarded as the greatest fighter of all time, the All American also proved he's for real when...

    John Dodson out for a year following torn ACL/Meniscus

    After John Dodson defeated John Moraga at UFC Fight Night 42, spectators pretty much presumed that he'd be next in line for a title shot. But much like many fighters before him, injury has caught up to the entertaining flyweight and will keep him out of action for a quite some time. The...

    This needs to be retitled to UFC Fight Night 50. UFC Fight Night 47's main event is Ryan Bader vs Ovince St-Preux.

    Bobby Green Faces Josh Thomson, Abel Trujillo Now Awaits New Matchup

    Wait... Johnson out of the bout? What the fuck?!

    UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    That still doesn't answer my question, I asked why you think Cat has a better chance at beating Ronda. Not why Ronda would win a fight between the two. And Judo is not an offensive style, the reason people fall into Ronda's trap is because they get too agressive and try to rush right in, and...

    UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    Well explain to me how a sloppy aggressive stand up fighter who strikes in a straight line (who is pretty much bait for a Judo fighter) has more of a chance at beating a Judo fighter more than an academic striker who has 30 plus boxing/kickboxing matches to her credit.

    UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    Cat's a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, her strength is on the ground. The only fight we saw her in the UFC was the Tate fight and she fought Tate in a rather sloppy slugfest in which she narrowly came out on top. If she does that to Ronda she'll get tied up and throw down so quickly it's...

    UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    Cat Zingano definitely does NOT have the style to defeat Ronda Rousey. She comes close but doesn't possess the style to do so. She'll rush right in for a takedown and go right into Ronda's world desperate for a takedown, hence forth playing right into Ronda's game. It's not the fact that she...

    UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    Then name somebody else who's a bigger threat to Rousey on the roster.

    Jim Miller: "Defeating Donald Cerrone keeps my career moving forward"

    If he does win I'd like to see him get a shot for a rematch against Benson Henderson or Khabib Nurmagomedov. Khabib is riding a 6 fight win streak in the UFC and overall is 21-0, where as Benson is ranked number 1. So I'd say going through one of these would be a gate keeper bout for Miller...

    UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    Perhaps against Cat Zingano (who was supposed to be Rousey's second challenger before she tore her ACL). But other then that I don't really see any other competition for her. She's 7-0 in her Pro MMA career and so far presents the most skills on paper to beat Rousey. I explained my reasoning for...

    What countries have you visited?

    United States, Mexico, and Dominican Republic (x2) pretty much sums it up for this guy.

    UFC 178 books Tim Kennedy vs Yoel Romero.

    Romero's power won't have any kind of difference if Kennedy strikes with angles. And even if he does plant his feet long enough, he could take him down. That's the only way it'll happen, a takedown will always get a power puncher down no matter how big they are. But fence holding is definitely...
