They take us through some of Wonderboy’s early career, from his introduction to MMA at UFC 3 to the karate scene’s reaction to the UFC when it first arrived in South Carolina. They also discuss some of Stephen’s biggest moments in the Octagon, from not giving up in his title fights against Tyron Woodley to
That approach has been a successful one, though. Primarily known as a striker, he showed off a well-rounded game against Fili, at times relying on his wrestling and grappling acumen to pull away on the judges’ scorecards. His ability to endure adversity over long periods of time is what Yusuff says is his biggest advantage.
The Ultimate Fighter season ten winner Roy Nelson quickly cut down Stefan “Skyscraper” Struve in the first round of their heavyweight bout. After a power outage in the arena stalled the opening of the bout, Nelson and Struve went right to work when the lights came back on, with Nelson aggressively closing the distance. Once
He didn’t stir the pot for his fight with Frank Camacho, for a matchup with Belal Muhammad or his PPV showdown with Niko Price. It’s just not who he is. “I’m not going to ever beg for a fight. You can put that in stone. You can guarantee that if a fight comes to me,

At 24, Ellenberger was told he would be lucky to make it to 30, and fighting for a living, well, that was an idea that was off the table as well. But fighters fight. And Ellenberger wore out all options in search of something that would save his career, but more importantly, his life. He
UFC 126 vs. Paul Kellyhttps://ufcfightpass.com/video/29037 Cerrone’s UFC debut closed out the preliminary portion of the pay-per-view card in Las Vegas and was surely an impressive performance, as “Cowboy” dominated and eventually submitted the durable, dangerous Brit midway through the second round.

Outlook: Aspen Ladd was on the fast track to a title shot when she took on Germaine de Randamie in Sacramento last July, but then she caught a straight-right that dropped her to the canvas just seconds into the first round and – though not without controversy – suffered her first professional loss. She bounced
As hard as it is to believe, Egli vs Ellenberger might even be more entertaining. While Ellenberger and Condit have history, in the form of a split decision win for Condit in 2009, it’s the future that might be on the line in Sunday’s new match. “[Egli] has been on the tip of Sean Shelby’s
Kattar, who is currently preparing for his UFC 249 bout against Jeremy Stephens next month, isn’t about to go as far as to buy a Tampa Bay jersey, and while he will still be rooting for Brady, he also believes his beloved Pats will be all right with a new face taking the snaps. “It’s
After a gutsy effort by Dan Hardy, England may still belong to him, but Georges St-Pierre had the rest of the world wrapped up as he defended his UFC welterweight championship for the fourth time with a shutout five round decision win. Scores were 50-43, 50-44, and 50-45. St-Pierre was all business, taking the Nottingham
Former basketball players fighting in the UFC is much shorter list. Most notably, though, there’s current 9th-ranked heavyweight Walt Harris. Harris stands 6-foot-5 and played D-I at Jacksonville State before focusing on MMA.

“This is a very underrated fight that nobody knows about, but also one of the most entertaining fights that I’ve ever seen in the UFC. I’m not going to say their skill set was the highest caliber, but holy s*** is it entertaining. You can’t even do it justice by giving a description, it’s just
Of course, the diehard fans know there is much more to it. Often, the early prelims – featuring fighters swinging for the fences who know this may be their only chance to make a name for themselves – are just as good of a show as the high-profile fights highlighting the main card. But aside
Matt and Jim start the show with a check-in on how COVID-19 is impacting their lives, and Matt asks Jim about how his training with UFC bantamweight Jimmie Rivera is going (not that Matt’s jealous or anything). Then, UFC lightweight and former interim champion Dustin Poirier joins the show. He details just how close he
