I was going to write some nice little intro on how Phil Baroni is gearing up for his fight against Murilo "Ninja" Rua on CBS but I think it would be wise to just get into our interview. Let me just quickly say that I have never conducted an interview ...

(FULL DISCLOSURE: I HAVE RECENTLY ACCEPTED A POSITION AS ONE OF THE POLLSTERS ON WAMMA’S RANKING COMMITTEE.)
The World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts was founded in November 2007. But, really now, what are they all about? What are they trying to accomplish?

It's a great time to be a heavyweight in the UFC as that particular division is as wide open as ever. Randy Couture? Gone. Tim Sylvia? Gone. Mirko Cro Cop? Gone. Andrei Arlovski? Maybe gone. Fedor Emelianenko? No Chance. Josh Barnett? You must be kidding.So, that pretty much leaves champion ...

The mark of a true fighter (and champion for that matter) is how they respond to adversity. All's well when the wins are piling up but once that fighter suffers his first devastating loss just how will he respond? That's the question that looms over the Chris Horodecki-Nate Lamotte fight ...

Jim Miller last fought on March 7th. Since then, he was rumored to be fighting on last night's Ultimate Fight Night show against Marcus Aurelio while also rumored to be making his International Fight League debut. Obviously, the IFL won out as Miller will be fighting on tomorrow night's card ...

You'll have to forgive Cung Le if he sounds a little tired during our interview. It's tough being the new king of San Jose especially after earning that moniker following a grueling three round war against the likes of Frank Shamrock. Le impressed the entire MMA world this past Saturday ...

Never heard of Mike Budnik? Well, obviously you aren't a fan of inline skating and don't have an eye for up-and-coming MMA talent. The former pro skater and X games veteran recently made the jump to MMA and, boy, was that a good decision as he is currently 6-0 and ...

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is probably being pulled in 800 different directions nowadays. He is arguably the most marketable MMA fighter around and he is also about to star on the seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV (season premiere is on 4/2 @ 10 pm).
Nevertheless, he was kind ...

Been out of the boxing loop lately? Don't fear because Large and I seemingly covered it all this week.
First, we talked a little Mayweather-WWE. Large watched this week's episode of RAW so I was curious as to what he thought about the product considering this was the first time he ...

It's very easy to ask some fighter, journalist or fellow fan their thoughts on the combat world but can you ask a model? That's the real test my friends.
So, on that note, today we go toe-to-toe with model Ashley Mull. She is one of the Platinum Agency's top talents. She ...

Not only is Matt Lindland a great fighter but, man, that guy can keep a secret.
I had the pleasure of talking to "The Law" at a time where his name was very much in the news. Needless to say, I was looking for some answers.
We knew he had signed with ...

They don't get much more legendary than Dan "The Beast" Severn (left). Seriously, I could have asked Severn eight hours worth of questions with regards to his MMA and pro wrestling careers but instead I settled on forty minutes. And, boy, did we cover a lot:
* Why he continues to ...

If Pacquaio-Marquez II isn't your thing and if you can't find any illegal ways of watching Dream 1, you have another option for Saturday night in the form of the Xtreme Fighting League on HDNet. The main reason to watch this card is this will probably be your first chance ...

On Monday we invited Elite XC's 160-pound champion, KJ Noons, to Jarry Park to discuss his upcoming title defense against Yves Edwards on 4/26.
And, as promised, here is our chat with Edwards as he nears one of the most important fights of his illustrious career. Important because it was less ...

First came Fight Network Radio, then The Howard Stern Show followed by HollyScoop.com. So, naturally, it only made sense for Tito Ortiz to hit the final stop of "the big four" and make his debut at JarryPark.com.
I tried my best not to ask him the usual stuff we've been hearing ...

Obviously, KJ Noons is our kind of fighter. While he has enjoyed considerable more success in MMA he does dabble in boxing and we dig that.
For the time being, though, his boxing career has been put on hold. Makes sense considering Noons shocked the MMA world in November by ...

What am I doing this weekend? Oh, just watching 15 hours of combat sports. I think I still might have girlfriend but I haven't been able to confirm that for the last two months or so.
Don't ge me wrong, though, I'm not complaining. It's certainly a great time to be ...

Time to put UFC 82 to bed and focus our attention on the promotion's 83rd pay-per-view offering - Serra-St.Pierre II from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. For obvious reasons, we'll have extensive coverage of the UFC's first foray into the great white north starting with today's featured interview.
It's been close to sixteen ...
