- James Irvin -Still StandingThomas Gerbasi, UFC - For years before they even made it to the big shows, my buddy and colleague Jason Probst always told me about James Irvin, Scott Smith, and Urijah Faber - a trio of friends and training partners from Northern California that he insisted had the right stuff to make it big in the still growing sport of mixed martial arts. Irvin, now a UFC […]
- Paul Buentello The Headhunter Sharpens His ToolsThomas Gerbasi, UFC - Paul Buentello is old-school, in the Octagon and in life. So the idea of uprooting himself and retooling his game after 36 fights and nearly 13 years in the pro game wasn't exactly embraced with open arms. […]
- Reinventing Eliot Marshall, a Fight at a TimeThomas Gerbasi, UFC - It may have been the greatest compliment a fighter could receive.

[…]

- Brendan Schaub Chapter TwoThomas Gerbasi, UFC - Things couldn't have been going better for Brendan Schaub on December 5, 2009. The unbeaten heavyweight prospect was boxing well, tagging his veteran opponent Roy Nelson with shots and even showing off some good ground defense as he escaped the veteran's side control position with ease. He even ate a couple flush shots from […]
- Daniel Roberts Jumping into the Welterweight Fray this SundayThomas Gerbasi, UFC - The walk into the Octagon. For some, the trek up those final four steps presents ample time to panic; for others, it's a signal that it's time to perform. For Daniel 'Ninja' Roberts, it's when he flips the switch from nice guy to fighter, and by the time he steps through the doorway, he's not walking into c […]
- Wherever the Fight goes, Junior Dos Santos is ready for itMartins Denis, UFC - Despite being in a whirlwind since his UFC debut, Brazilian knockout artist Junior "Cigano" dos Santos still has an amazing recall of all the dates and important happenings in his life that he can pull out at a moment's notice.
