Roy Jones-Anderson Silva Still Not On, Even in UFC
We already know that Roy Jones and Anderson Silva are not going to meet up in a boxing ring anytime soon. But how about the Octagon?
UFC chief Dana White nixed a potential boxing match between the superstar MMA-er and the past-his-prime boxer, refusing to allow Silva to risk himself in a boxing ring while [...]
Silva, Liddell and the UFC 97 Nightmare
So what will it take to derail the high speed train that is the UFC? How about a night when your biggest star gets knocked out once again and put into forced retirement, chased by the pound-for-pound king of the sport getting booed for 25 minutes of boredom?
Chuck Liddell was knocked out — again [...]
White’s Apology Completely Misses Mark
Dana White issued an “apology” for his ridiculous Internet rant about Sherdog.com writer Loretta Hunt, but seemed to be completely unaware of what he should be apologizing for.
In the 53 seconds that White allotted to his most recent video blog to the apology, White apologized only to the gay community, apparently for using the word [...]
Dana White is All Class
Perhaps you heard by now that the biggest asshole in all of sports, Dana White, finally put his foot so far in his mouth that people may not be willing to let it go as simply “Dana being Dana.” It’s about time.
No one in sports runs their business so unprofessionally, and instead of counting [...]
Roy Jones Card Stirs Up Boxing/MMA Debate
Roy Jones Jr. returns to the ring this week, and the talk of the combat world is about the first major boxing/mixed martial arts crossover event that it will headline.

Rampage Jackson, Rashad Evans Say Stuff
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson beat Keith Jardine Saturday night in a relatively lackluster main event at UFC 96, but things picked up after the fight was over when Jackson’s next opponent, Rashad Evans, had some words with Rampage.
Sometimes the talk is just better than the fight. This is the closest I’ve seen Rampage to being [...]
MMA World Debating Early Stoppages
Over on BloodyElbow.com and Sherdog.com, there is quite a bit of talk going on calling this weekend’s stoppage in UFC 95’s fight between Paulo Thiago and Josh Koscheck premature. There is some split over the idea of stoppages getting too premature, and the defense of referees doing the right thing. However you see [...]
Cotto-Pavlik PPV to Compete With Free UFC
UFC 95 may be over by the time that it airs, but it’s still on free television tonight. Boxing has two great fighters in bad matchups and is putting it on pay-per-view. You wonder why people are sure that MMA will overtake boxing soon?
The truth is, as we all know, that neither is [...]
Top Boxer to Take On UFC?
While the eternally asinine and mythical MMA vs. boxing argument rages on in dorm rooms around the nation, another top boxer is willing to try his hand in the Octagon, only to likely be turned down by the UFC powers.
Enzo Maccarinelli, one of the world’s top cruiserweights, has said he is interested in fighting British [...]
UFC 90 Preview Roundup: Silva vs. Cote
It seems like I previewed UFC 89 just a week ago. Oh, wait, it was just a week ago. Well, now the UFC returns to the Colonies with their marquee fighter, Anderson Silva, headlining the card.
Silva may be the best mixed-martial arts fighter in the world. He’s certainly the best in the [...]
