    WWE's New Day: No Way In Hell We'd Fight In UFC ... We're Too Pretty!

    Brock Lesnar's done it. CM Punk's done it ... but the guys from The New Day say there's NO DAMN WAY they'd ever considering moving from the WWE to the UFC.  The tag team superstars -- who were just tapped to host WrestleMania 33 -- joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Monday night on FS1) ... and told us their feet are FIRMLY planted in the WWE. So, why not give the UFC a shot? Big E put it best ... "I gyrate for a living! I shake my hips for a living, that's what I do!...

    Previewing and Predicting Every Potential MMA Superfight

    The Superfight: it’s a term used so often these days that it’s become a novelty. In theory, it identifies a bout that is designed to bring two fantastic fighters together in a clash that speaks to the best aspects of their relative skills and styles. In boxing, it has often been used to identify bouts that could never happen: Muhammad Ali versus Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Robinson versus Floyd Mayweather Jr., Roberto Duran versus Manny Pacquiao. But in the sport of MMA, it is used to describe the...

    TJ Dillashaw on UFC 173 Win, Cruz, Faber and Return to the Octagon

    Last week, I followed TJ Dillashaw as he prepared for his UFC 173 bout against Renan Barao. He was one of the biggest underdogs ever to participate in a championship bout, and few gave him a chance of making it out of the first round, much less pulling off the historic upset. In my time spent with Dillashaw, I saw a man completely unfazed by the task ahead of him, as though he had no idea what the fans and oddsmakers were saying. He was relaxed, loose and absolutely confident that he’d be taking...

    UFC Live Discussion: The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale

    “History will be made tonight,” so sayeth our friends in the UFC, as Julianna Peña will face Jessica Rakoczy for the honor of becoming the first female to ever win The Ultimate Fighter. At the same time, Chris Holdsworth and David Grant will be fighting for the distinction of being this season’s male winner of TUF 18: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate, but we’re far more interested in seeing the talent in the women’s division expand with one of these great women stepping up and earning a shot at a long,...

    UFC 158 Preview: 5 Questions Surrounding the GSP/Diaz Fight Card

    If it feels like you've waited forever to see Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz face off, well, you're not alone. We've waited a long time for this fight. And there was a time, back when Diaz was suspended and retired and not coming back to the UFC, that I figured it was going to fall in that category of "dream fights that never came to fruition," right alongside Fedor Emelianenko vs. Randy Couture or Brock Lesnar. Diaz came to his senses and decided to continue fighting, and St-Pierre elected...

    Mark Hunt Steps In to Face Junior dos Santos at UFC 160

    Mark Hunt will face former UFC heavyweight champion Junior do Santos at UFC 160 on May 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. MMAFighting.com  first reported the news, and UFC officials later confirmed the match.

    UFC 152: Burning Questions Heading into Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort Fight Card

    There's no reason to rehash the sordid story that left us with the first event to ever be canceled in UFC history. All we need to know is that when the full history of the UFC is written, there will be an asterisk next to UFC 151, noting that the event never took place. All the fights on that ill-fated fight card have found a new home, which is a positive. The negative is that the main event between UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former Pride and Strikeforce champion Dan Henderson...

    UFC 153 Fight Card: Anderson Silva Headlines the Worst Main Event in UFC History

    There's a lot to admire about Stephan Bonnar. He's a competent television announcer and a good storyteller who helps fans understand what it takes to compete inside the cage. He was a pretty solid fighter, too, combining with Forrest Griffin in the finale of the first season of The Ultimate Fighter to let the world in on a little secret—MMA is awesome. I've seen Bonnar described over and over again as "tough as nails." That captures his essence, for good or ill. He will never back down, that much...

    UFC 153: Frankie Edgar In For Koch, Fights Aldo For Title

The nature of Koch's injury was not revealed. **Update: Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com reports Koch suffered a knee injury. After some epic battles with BJ Penn and Gray Maynard, Edgar has dropped his last two fights, both...

    The Five Rankings Upsets of UFC 144

    The thing I liked more than the great knockouts, the back and forth fights, and the incredible comebacks was that there were so many upsets on this card. I don't pay attention to upsets betting-wise, but in terms of rankings...there were a certainly more than usual. I personally love it when guys win and shake up the rankings, we can all have a look after the jump. Bantamweight - Unranked Chris Cariaso defeats #12 Takeya Mizugaki via Unanimous Decision. From what I understood, this was a decision...

    Dana White Says Anthony Pettis Will 'Likely' Get Next UFC Lightweight Title Shot UFC RESULT 144

    EX-WEC lightweights had a good night at UFC 144 in Japan, and it appears that the last WEC fight ever might be re-created in the UFC octagon. As we all know by now, Ben Henderson claimed the UFC lightweight title with a unanimous decision win over Frankie Edgar in the main event tonight. Anthony Pettis led off the card with a highlight-reel head kick knockout of Joe Lauzon, and made it clear that he thinks he deserves a title shot. And UFC president Dana White agreed with that when he spoke at the...
