I'm around gyms all the time. ...

Josh Koscheck is a promoter's dream. He'll fight anyone, anytime, even with less than eight weeks to prepare for a fight. When the UFC needed a major fight to fill the gap left by Brock Lesnar at UFC 106, matchmaker Joe Silva brainstormed and came up with an excellent fight featuring Koscheck ...

At this point, the UFC probably just want to gets through UFC 106 without anymore drama or disasters. It's good hardcore fight fans card but certainly lacks the pizzazz it appeared to have when Brock Lesnar versus Shane Carwin was the headliner. Tito Ortiz-Forrest Griffin has been bumped up to ...

Shock was the word of the night at WEC 44. Jose Aldo Jr. came in with a lofty reputation and plenty of quick knockouts but the way he ripped the WEC featherweight belt from Mike Brown's clutches was shocking. Even Brown looked a bit shellshocked during the postfight press conference. The ...

Kendall Grove likes being above the fray in the life but it's not the
easiest thing to deal with in the Octagon. At 6-foot-6, he's got to be

Anthony Johnson has the gift of gab. He can trash talk with the best of them but he doesn't come across as a jerk. Even better he doesn't mind on the receiving end of criticism. The 25-year-old welterweight was skewered by fans and media at UFC 104 last month when he missed weight by six ...

Jose Aldo Jr. was the star of the night at WEC 44. He entered the cage with a calm demeanor and took apart Mike Brown in a one-sided battle. It wasn't so easy for Shane Roller in his lightweight fight against Danny Castillo. Roller was likely trailing going into the final two and a half ...
