At 47-years-old, Randy “the Natural” Couture is still competing in mixed martial arts at the highest level possible in the UFC and is currently scheduled to take on professional boxer (mixed martial artist?), James “Lights Out” Toney. Think about that for a second. The man is 47-years-old and even though he gets very little credit [...]

MMA Q&A with Mr. James Ryan: Understanding Dana White’s Motivation

Dear Mr. Ryan, I used to be a big Dana White fan. No one can argue against the fact that he has done a lot to help the sport of mixed martial arts. He has brought MMA into the world spotlight, and not just in the US where he obviously did a lot to get [...]

MMA Q&A with Mr. James Ryan: Determining the World’s Best Heavyweight

Dear Mr. Ryan, I wanted to get your opinion on the Strikeforce guys. I watched their heavyweight champion, Alistair Overeem, against Brett Rogers. Do you ever think that we will get to see him take on Brock Lesnar, or Shane Carwin? My opinion is that to truly be the world champion and before you can [...]

“Rampage” Jackson Drops an Atomic Bomb on Both of His Careers

Get ready for one of the dumbest, short-sighted, and career-damaging statements EVER in the history of the UFC. Not to mention—insulting. But first, put your hand up if you are a huge fan of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (keeping in mind that it would have to include both his fighting and his acting careers). Now I [...]
