Roop Delivers at Rage In the Cage
This past Saturday was particularly bittersweet for me, since this is the last RITC event I’ll be covering, at least for a while, as I move away from sunny Arizona to the freezing tundra of Wisconsin in just a few short weeks. The Arizona fight scene is thriving, with three promotions going strong and more in the works. Here’s the results from Saturday’s Rage in the Cage #137: Dell vs. Roop which took place at the Desert Diamond Casino. Local fan favorite George Roop, who has been training… (Full Story)

Live MMA in Costa Rica: A Travel Story
Costa Rica has a lot of mysteries. Why do people pay good money to have their luggage wrapped in Saran wrap? How can a country exist without an army? Why are the streets so narrow that two cars can’t fit without driving in the middle of the street and negotiating for space if another car shows up? (Driving around huge potholes makes this even more challenging.) Why do five zillion people swarm you at the airport insisting that you need a taxi and refusing to go away? Why are there so many… (Full Story)

4/19 Warrior Challenge Live Results
I’m live at the building in York, PA for the event. Brandt DeLorenzo is shooting photography from the balcony. I’ve made a makeshift press section up there as well so hopefully we can do round-by-round coverage if the Internet connection holds. A very full ballroom for this debut MMA card, probably 500 or more. Looks like all but two of the fights will be amateur contests and fought with 3 two minute rounds. I’ll post the line up below and see you at 2pm for the show. Joshua Aarons Vs. Brent… (Full Story)
The road to “Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz” – Day 2

“Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz” weigh-in results
Josh and I attended today’s “Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz” weigh-ins at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. Fans and media tightly packed into “The Grill” restaurant in anticipation of the event. Issues of fighter medicals and some organizational hang-ups slowed the start time of the weigh-ins. The restlessness of the fans and media, however, was quelled by the appearances of star MMA fighters such as Josh Barnett, Alastair Overeem, and Robbie Lawler. Event headliners Frank Shamrock and… (Full Story)
UWC – East Coast MMA is back!
I don’t need to tell you about the most important MMA event this weekend. I also don’t need to tell you that the event will feature a former WEC champ, 2 TUF participants, and fighters from huge camps. What I do need to tell you is that this event is not taking place in the UFC. One more thing you need to know is that East Coast MMA is back thanks to the team at UWC. The UWC is providing MMA fans of the East something to cheer for. This is not just a random amateur or pro event, this… (Full Story)
