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 ...

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 ...

Joey Sports Fan: Yo, Chuck, what do you think about Shogun's injury?
Chuck Liddell: It's sucks man...Really sucks.
Joey Sports Fan: Yeah.
Chuck Liddell: Ya.
Joey Sports Fan: You know what? You should go to this cool-ass site called JarryPark.com and talk about having no opponent for UFC 85 and who you want to ...

It's a question that has been on the minds of MMA fans for several months: Will Andrei Arlovski re-sign with the UFC or choose to fight elsewhere?
Obviously, "the Pitbull" has kept his lips sealed so I decided to bypass him and go straight for the person closest to the former ...

I'm sure most of the residents of Jarry Park have attended at least one UFC event at some point in their lives.
Not so for our weekly ranter, John Pollock. The producer of Fight Network Radio and Live Audio Wrestling popped his UFC cherry this weekend when he made a last-minute ...

Remember our last fireside chat with the lovely Ms. Arianny Celeste? Well, of course you do because it just reeked of awesomeness! Team ECK 4 Life.
Ahem, anyhow, one of the highlights of the interview was when Arianny promised she would show the millions upon millions of the Jarry Park faithful ...

It's a busy weekend at the Jarry Park headquarters. Not only did we have the IFL season opener and Bute-Joppy last night, UFC 82 and Marquez-Vazquez III tonight, we're also putting the finishing touches on our brand-spankin' new website.
Remember those promises about a newer website? Dreams do come true my ...

Quite the day for the sport of mixed martial arts.
First, we hear about Elite XC striking a multi-year deal with CBS to air events starting in April and then the UFC lands its first mainstream sponsor in Bud Light. So, who had the better day? Well, right now I would ...

There's another loaded weekend of combat sports on the horizon so we're going to get a head start and hit you with a preview of the big one first: The 82nd Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-view.
I've been looking forward to this card since the Dan Henderson vs. Anderson Silva main event ...

A year ago, most of us had heard very little (if not nothing) of Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou. Obviously, all that quickly changed once he knocked out Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Ricardo Arona in a span of two months.
Then, everything really changed for The African Assassin. Pride FC was purchased by ...

I touched on this in our UFC 81 preview with John Chandler (found below) but, again, I really do get the feeling that MMA purists are hoping Brock Lesnar loses to Frank Mir tonight and quietly goes back to the "fake stuff." I have even read some people contemplating whether ...

The very talented and knowledgeable John Chandler of MMAontap.com stopped by The Park to break down the UFC 81 card. Some of the topics we discussed included:
* Why this is the most expensive PPV in UFC history
* The reasons behind the price increase

Marvin "The Beastman" Eastman's last fight in the UFC was at UFC 67 against then-newcomer Quinton Jackson. Twelve months later, Jackson holds the Light Heavyweight title while Eastman prepares to make his Middleweight debut this Saturday night against Terry Martin. Needless to say, he is in desperate need of a ...

Forget about the Super Bowl, it's time to focus our attention on this weekend's UFC 81 and, needless to say, I am really looking forward to this one.
Basically, whenever a former WWE champion makes his UFC debut it's cause for excitement in my world. Of course, I am talking about ...

Remember the last time we featured an interview with UFC Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste? Well, her presence generated the most amount of traffic to Jarry Park...EVER. Seriously, it did. Kurt Angle, Bas Rutten, DDP, GSP - they should all bow down to the queen of the Octagon.
It didn't take me ...

Leading up to The Ultimate Fighter 3, all the hype seemed to surround a fighter from Vancouver, WA, named Ed Herman (left). He would eventually make it to the finals of the show only to lose to Maui's Kendall Grove but, as we all know, both men were rewarded with ...

The oh-so knowledgeable Jesse Holland of MMAMania.com stopped by JarryPark to help sort out the influx of UFC news from the last few days. No shortage of interesting topics to discuss but here are some of the ones we touched on:
* BJ Penn's victory over Joe Stevenson
* What to ...

We're just a couple of days away from UFC Fight Night 12 and if this one's half as good as UFC 80 then, well, it will be great! And you know what? Top to bottom this card (on paper) looks like it should be better. It's a safe bet that ...

Anthony "Rumble" Johnson is responsible for one of the best knockouts of 2007. His disposal of Chad Reiner in just 13 seconds at Ultimate Fight Night 10 in June was as solid a UFC debut a fighter can hope for. At UFC 76, it appeared as though the 23-year-old Johnson ...
