It’s been a fairly unpredictable season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” thus far, but no result was more unexpected (in my mind at least) than Amir Sadollah’s victory over Gerald Harris on last night’s episode of the show.
Sadollah seemed to be lacking confidence going into the bout while Harris, well, he ...

It wasn't quite Gabe Ruedieger-esque but Jeremy May's behavior on last week's episode TUF 7 was quite the controversial one. Actually, maybe controversial isn't the right word...annoying might be more accurate.So, why did he pour lime juice in Matt Brown's dip anyways? And why did the rest of the cast ...

Luke Zachrich is coming off a disappointing, yet spirited, loss to Dan Cramer on last night's edition of "The Ultimate Fighter" and I can't help but feel a little bad for him a day later.
You see, Zachrich's fight was nudged right after the whole Matt Brown-Jeremy May battle with little ...

When I first saw Matthew "Chipper" Riddle crush Dan Simmler's jaw on in the second episode of TUF 7, I quickly thought to myself: "That kid's going far in this tournament." I think it was a mix between the smug smile on his face and the excessive TV time he ...

It's tough keeping up with Monte Cox these days. He's with M-1 Global. He's without M-1 Global. He's starting Adrenaline MMA. He's hooking up Affliction with Tim Sylvia to fight Fedor. He's friends with everyone. He's calling Ken Pavia, for all intents and purposes, a midget (more on that in ...

Did you hear? Charles McCarthy isn't impressed with Michael Bisping. Also, Bisping thinks McCarthy runs his mouth too much. Oh, and McCarthy wants to put Bisping to sleep...Give these two credit, though, as they've definitely surpassed Lutter-Franklin in the hype department for UFC 83. Solid trash-talking between two combatants can ...

Has it really been seven months since we saw Gina Carano fight for Elite XC? It certainly has, but it may not seem as long if you're a fan of "American Gladiators" on NBC. Sure, her performance on that show is all well and good but true Carano fans have ...
