UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun Preview
Overall, UFC 104 looks like a solid event. It features a few questionable main card fights, but also will feature some awesome undercard bouts that, we can only hope, will get broadcast with the rest of the event. Assuming a number of quick finishes on the main card (which is a distinct possibility), the overall [...]
Spike TV to Run Prelims for UFC 104
After airing the undercard for UFC 103 on Spike TV, it looks like the brass is going to make it happen for the next UFC pay-per-view.

Two Heavyweight Bouts to Appear on UFC 90 Card

Those two fighters: Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez. But they are not fighting each other. Velasquez will be fighting my fifth favorite (behind Mir [...]
