UFC 113 Hangover and Impact.
The curtains have closed on another great night of fights. We now have a new champion at 205, a new breed of coaches for TUF, and the UFC handed walking papers to two well known fighters. Now that the event is in the books, it is time for us to take a look back and [...]
George Roop: Past, Present and Future
Tucson’s very own George Roop, better known as TUF season 8 semifinalist, recently went toe-to-toe with wrestler Diamond Dave Kaplan in the opening fight of UFC 98 and came out the victor.

Self Defense: Junie Pleads His Case
Admittedly, I’ve learned more about this season of the Ultimate Fighter from reading the delusional musings of Junie Browning on his blog.

Phillipe Nover: From the ER to the Octagon
Quite the paradox: Heal others by day, fight them by night. That is the motto of Ultimate Fighter Finalist, Phillipe Nover.
