Martins Denis, UFC - The fighting career of Brazil's Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares came to an abrupt halt when he terribly injured his left leg in May. The injury, a fracture of his tibia while wrestling, forced him to the sidelines for more than three months and was just another difficult hurdle to be added to the many that he has already face […]

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - In the days after Kenny Florian's first challenge for the UFC lightweight title - a losing effort against Sean Sherk in October of 2006 - the New Englander made it very clear that there would be no doubts about his title worthiness the second time he made it to the top, and he lived up to that commitment, winning six straight fight […]

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - For a relatively small venue, The Pearl at The Palms in Las Vegas generated an ear-splitting level of noise from fight fans as Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida went to war for 15 torrid minutes this past June. But above all the cheers, one voice was just a bit louder than the others, that of Debbie Guida, Clay's mother. […]

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - It was one of those awkward situations fairly unique to mixed martial arts. Lanky 6 foot 1 welterweight DaMarques Johnson was brought into the Arizona training camp of Efrain Escudero for a week this past September to help replicate lanky 6 foot 1 Cole Miller for the lightweight prospect's UFC 103 bout. Also in camp was Escudero […]

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - TJ Grant isn't one of those guys who carry around a bucket full of excuses anytime something doesn't go right in his fighting career.

Martins Denis, UFC - It seems that the US National soccer team lost a potential great talent as Brazilian born Ricardo "The Golden Boy" Funch - who is going to make his UFC debut against Johny Hendricks this weekend at UFC 107 - instead discovered MMA. […]

Las Vegas, NV (USA) - In 1998, two of the United States' greatest amateur wrestlers - Randy "The Natural" Couture and Mark "The Hammer" Coleman - were scheduled to meet in a relatively new proving ground called the Ultimate Fighting Championship. That mixed martial arts bout at UFC 17 never happened due to injury, but on Saturday, Fe […]

Michael DiSanto, UFC - Diego Sanchez has been telling the world that he is a future champion in wait since the days of the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter. Actually, he has also proclaimed on several occasions that he would go down as one of the greatest mixed martial artists in history when it is all said and done, but let's not get ahead of […]

Martins Denis, UFC - Down here in Brazil, practically every man in his 30's who is involved with fighting remembers the beginning of the NHB challenge between Brazilian jiu-jitsu and luta livre in the early 90's. That 'very personal challenge' served not only to prove the superiority of BJJ over luta livre (in that period), but to capture […]
