Todd “Hard Work” Duffee
After running across a UFC.com article titled “Silva (95 Seconds) and Marquardt (21 Seconds) are UFC 102′s Knockout Kings,” I had a few questions. The first is: Why did the UFC hired someone who doesn’t know that 7 is less than 95 to write their articles? The second is: Will Todd Duffee (5-0 MMA, 1-0 [...]
Inside Irvin vs. McFedries: UFC 98
You don’t have to be the best fighters on the card to bring the best fight, and I think that the Irvin vs. McFedries matchup is going to be an excellent case study in what makes matchups between middle of the pack fighters so damn exciting. Irvin is dropping down to 185 for this matchup, [...]

Fedor’s 36 second tapout victory over Tim Sylva proved that he’s the best, not just by winning, but by completely and utterly destroying [...]
Best and Worst of Affliction and UFN 14
This is just as far as fights go, not the announcing or the production value as a whole. Affliction had a HD stream which provided better picture quality, but the UFC still has a better overall production value. Megadeth wasn’t too bad for Affliction as they didn’t go overboard with live music and allowed the [...]

Lose Lose Situation
Remember when Dan Henderson shocked the world by beating Wanderlei Silva? If not, then you certainly remember the two belts he held when he fought Anderson Silva in the unification fight at 185. Hendo was not supposed to have both the 185 and 205 belts. He was supposed to lose to Wand in a big [...]
