Yeah, that's right - we've been around a month and have already decided to create our own award ceremonies. We begin with The First Annual Jarry Park MMA Awards (catchy title, eh?)... What a year it's been in the world of Mixed-Martial-Arts. Huge upsets, great fights, dream match-ups, contract disputes...definitely one ...

Kimbo & Bas: A Match Made In MMA Heaven

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Bas Rutten is no spring chicken. The former UFC Heavyweight champion and three-time King of Pancrase has been arould the world of Mixed-Martial-Arts longer than most. So it made perfect sense when I first heard that Rutten (aka El Guapo) would be training Kimbo Slice as he enters the world ...

Bas Is Coming and He Might Bring Kimbo, As Well

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Who knew that putting up a Kimbo Slice video would illicit such excitement. I received more mail about that video than any interview posted on this site thus far. That said, I am working diligently in getting an exclusive interview with Kimbo before his Elite XC debut this Saturday night but ...

Jake Shields Simply Wants To Fight The Best

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Jake Shields has fought, and defeated, some of the best MMA fighters in the world. He holds victories over the likes of Carlos Condit, Yushin Okami, Hayato Sakurai and Jeremy Jackson. It's a wonder his name doesn't come up more often when discussing the top Welterweights. That's all starting to ...

Benji Radach Is A Man On A Mission

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

What a year its been for IFL Middleweight fighter Benji Radach. After suffering a devastating jaw injury in a loss to Chris Leben in 2004, Radach disappeared from the world of MMA for almost three years. Then, just nine months ago, he reappeared in the International Fight League and proceeded ...

Gideon Ray Is The Replacement Fighter

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

The IFL's Gideon Ray is no stranger to fighting on short notice. As a member of the UFC, he accepted to fight David Loiseau when Joe Riggs backed out just days prior to their fight and also fought Mike Swick on four days notice. Fast forward to the present...Welterweight fighter Brad Blackburn pulls out ...

Jared Rollins Doesn’t Want To Eat Breakfast With George Sotiropoulos Anymore

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Last night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter was, by far, my favorite of this particular season. Finally, we had two dynamic characters butting heads in the form of Jared Rollins and George Sotiropoulos. Throw in the fact that we got a glimpse of what Matt Hughes is like when he ...

Will Kimbo Slice Be The First Ever Boxing & MMA Heavyweight Champ?

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Elite XC held a press conference yesterday to hype their next 11/10 show "Renegade." Gary Shaw and his team deserve some credit for this one because the card is pretty stacked. Some of the main fights to look out for are Nick Diaz vs. KJ Noons for the new 160 ...

The IFL’s Brent Beauparlant Is No One’s Stepping Stone

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

A look at HDNet's Inside MMA rankings shows the IFL's Benji Radach (16-3-0, 1 NC) slotted as the tenth best Middleweight in the world. No surprises there as 2007 has been very kind to the Washington state native. Radach has won all four of his IFL fights this year and ...
