[[tmz:video id="0_2au9tqfu"]] Not everyone believes Ronda Rousey's fighting career is over -- in fact, Ufc bad ass Neil Magny thinks she still has a real shot for a comeback ... if she comes and trains with his team in Colorado. Magny fought before Ronda on the Ufc 207 card -- beating Johny Hendricks -- and looked pretty solid. He's been training with the Elevation Fight Team out of Denver.

For years one of the most passionate debates among mixed martial arts centered around who would win should top pound-for-pound fighters and future hall of famers Anderson Silva and George St. Pierre ever step into the octagon against one another. At the height of the discussion both men were champions, decisively cleaning out their respective divisions and Dana White was much less open to the idea of a superfight between two of his top draws.
But times have changed. St. Pierre is currently retired, vacating the welterweight championship he held for a record combined 2,204 days after his final fight against Johny Hendricks and has only recently begun publicly flirting with the prospect of a comeback. Silva has struggled since losing his middleweight title to Chris Weidman via knockout and dropping the rematch when he shattered his leg throwing a kick. He has a record of 1-2 since being uncrowned,...

Ufc fans have seen this kind of thing before: A great Pay-Per-View headline bout gets scrapped due to injury and the top undercard fight just doesn’t have the luster for PPV. That’s the case for what was originally scheduled to be the Feb. 6 Ufc 196: Fabricio Werdum vs. Cain Velasquez heavyweight title fight on PPV. Instead, the Feb. 6 date will feature Johny Hendricks vs. Stephen Thompson in a heavyweight matchup as part of FS1 Ufc Fight Night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Ufc 196 has been rescheduled for March 6 on PPV headlined by Rafael dos Anjos … Continue reading →

Once upon a time, the first weekend of February 2016 was playing host to Ufc 196, with a headliner of Werdum vs. Velasquez 2 for the Ufc heavyweight championship. Then, former champ Cain Velasquez pulled out due to injury last week. In his place, Ufc announced that top contender Stipe Miocic would fight, and fans rejoiced – many preferred this match-up to Velasquez fighting, as he hadn’t won a fight since losing his title to Werdum last Summer.
Of course, the story didn’t end there. Fabricio Werdum, the current champ, then announced that he was pulling out of the fight due to injury – but added a twist when he said that had Velasquez stayed in the fight, he would have fought through the injury. Just not for Miocic, apparently. It’s the type of thing a fighter almost never admits to, and it caused a huge uproar in the fanbase.

The hardcore Mma fanbase is up in arms over the Ufc signing of Cm Punk. Visit the comments section of many of the major Mma sites and you’ll see some pretty passionate fans questioning the signing of a fighter with no pro experience and limited mixed martial arts training by the world’s premier Mma promotion. At a time when they’re trying to be taken seriously as a sport, Ufc have perhaps blundered with Punk.
So, as a disclaimer, yes, the signing of Punk is for spectacle, not sport. However, as much as it’s important for the sport of mixed martial arts to be taken seriously, the company – Zuffa and all its holdings – needs to make money. And with Cm Punk comes money, thanks to his legion of WWE fans.
That’s not a condemnation of Cm Punk or the Ufc either. In Punk’s...

Ufc 181 was the promotion’s biggest, and most successful, card since Ufc 175 back in the summer, which coincidentally also featured two title fights (Chris Weidman taking on Lyoto Machida, and Ronda Rousey meeting Alexis Davis). With welterweight champion Johny Hendricks vs. Robbie Lawler II as the main event, and lightweight champion Anthony Pettis vs. Gilbert Melendez as the co-main event, you already had serious star power.
Add in Travis Browne vs. Brendan Schaub, a returning Todd Duffee, and Urijah Faber on the preliminary card, and you had enough big names to generate some serious interest.
Without question, top to bottom, Ufc 181 was a success, and the Ufc can breathe easy: entering into their key end-of-the-year events (the Tuf 20 finale, Ufc on Fox 13, and Ufc 182 in early January), they’ve building momentum.

Ufc 181 boasted a tremendous lineup on paper, but the odds were that this card was going to change dramatically due to the injury curse that has plagued the promotion. Besides some minor changes, the meat and potatoes of the card were left on the plate which was a refreshing change of pace.
Because of two sensational title fights, along with several results that hold divisional significance, and the signing of a free agent that no one saw coming this show was worth the price of admission.
Of course, what would be a Ufc event be without a judging controversy in the main event? Those who scored the fight for Johny Hendricks were stunned to hear Bruce Buffer utter the words “And New” as Dana White placed the welterweight strap around the waist of Robbie Lawler.

wikipedia / Ufc 167 Promotional Poster
Ufc Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks has discussed the possibility of rematching with Mma legend Georges St-Pierre. Speaking at a media luncheon this week, Hendricks stated “It could be dangerous for him to come back [and fight me].”
The first time the two men fought, at Ufc 167 in November 2013, St-Pierre won a very close decision. Many fans booed the result, as they felt that Hendriks had done enough to win over five rounds. The old saying “never leave it in the hands of the judges” comes to mind.
St-Pierre then disappeared from the sport, vacating the Welterweight title. As a result, Hendricks was able to fight for the vacant title against Robbie Lawler at Ufc 171 in March of this year. Hendricks won that fight, becoming the champion in a decision victory.
Hendricks and Lawler will rematch this weekend at Ufc 181, and then the spectre of Gsp could end up revealing itself.

December’s first event in Ufc land marks the start of an exciting string of events for the promotion. After suffering through several cards decimated due to injury, the Ufc has a number of stacked events ready to go, and the first of those, Ufc 181 (taking place Saturday, December 6th in North America – the promo shot above is for the Australian market), has managed to avoid any major losses to the injury bug with just a week to go before the event.
That’s great news for some simple reason: fight week generally sees fighters scaling back in their training. Fight camps are wrapped up. There’s still the matter of weight cuts, and fluke illness, but for the most part, we should see the majority of fighters make it to the octagon Saturday night. And yes, before you ask, we are looking for a large chunk of wood to knock on right now,...

After over a year out of the cage and a highly publicized quarrel with the Ufc, Nick Diaz has signed a new three-fight extension with the Ufc, and plans on returning in 2015.
Diaz had been previously inconsistent as it pertained to his fighting future, saying that he’d only return for a title shot, or for a much larger contract. Earlier this year Diaz was seen taunting eventual Ufc welterweight champion Johny Hendricks as he attempted to make weight.
“I’ve been doing a whole lot of not getting punched around-type stuff,” Diaz told Ufc.com Thursday. “I’ve been staying in shape pretty good, doing a lot of running. It’s been a good experience having this much time off.”

Live from San Jose, California, Ufc on Fox 12 (though it’s still being called Fight Night by the Ufc, it’s a Ufc on Fox event) features the billed main event of Robbie Lawler vs. Matt “The Immortal” Brown, a welterweight title eliminator which will determine who meets champion Johny Hendricks in the octagon later this year.
In a co-main event that also holds possible title implications, recently returned light heavyweight Anthony “Rumble” Johnson meets “Lil Nog” – Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. It’s new breed against old guard in this bout, and it might not last long.
Rounding out the four-fight main card are matches between the popular Clay Guida against Dennis Bermudez, and Josh Thompson versus Bobby Green, in his first fight back since the murder of his younger brother. Whether Green can keep his focus in the cage remains to be seen, but it will no doubt be an...

Matt Hughes (45-9) is easily one of the greatest welterweight champions to have ever graced the Octagon and was rightly inducted into the Ufc hall of fame in 2010. With his bullish strength, exceptional wrestling skills and heavy hands, the farm boy from Illinois is one of the most fearsome 170-lb men to have fought in Mma and – in his prime – would give men like Johny Hendricks, Hector Lombard and Rory Macdonald a run for their money.
Since his retirement from the sport of Mma, Matt Hughes has been made the Ufc Vice President of Athlete Development and Government Relations. Aside from it being a very important role at the company, Hughes is also shown attending practically all of the Ufc’s North American events to observe the talent he is responsible for maintaining – indeed just last weekend we saw him in the crowd at Ufc 174 in Vancouver,...

The punches were flying at Ufc Fight Night 36 on Feb. 15, and after the dust settled, Lyoto had outfoxed his opponent and given himself a potential shot at the middleweight title belt.
Though Lyoto Machida couldn’t knock out his opponent Gerard Mousasi at Ufc Fight Night 36 on Feb. 15, he clearly dominated the five-round match, and went home with an unanimous decision victory.
Lyoto Machida Defeats Gerard Mousasi On Ufc Fight Night 36
Judges awarded the middleweight contender with scores of 50-45, 50-45, and 49-46 after he controlled the bout and landed fierce blows on Mousasi with several left head kicks.
Now after dominating on Fight Night, Machida has his sights set on the middleweight title, and he very well may get a shot at whoever wins the Ufc title fight between Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort in May.
“I obviously would like to get the champ,” Machida told Espn after the match.

Remember Kevin Ware’s broken leg last basketball season? This may be worse. The Ufc fighter’s bid for the championship belt against Chris Weidman on Dec. 28 came to a gruesome end when he horrifically broke his leg. Read on to watch the video, but be warned — it’s not a pretty sight.
Former Ufc champion Anderson Silva, 38, lost his middleweight title fight to Chris Weidman in the second round on Dec. 28, but it’s how he lost that’s quickly become an internet sensation. The brawler suffered a grotesque lower leg injury after attempting a kick, and now the future of his career is in doubt.

Anderson Silva sustained a match-ending leg injury in his Ufc Middleweight title fight against reigning champion Chris Weidman this weekend.
Anderson Silva Breaks Leg
Ufc 168 ended in the second round when Silva shattered his left leg during a kick aimed at Weidman. His shin visibly bent and left the fighter writhing in pain on the octagon floor. Weidman claimed his victory as medics rushed to care for Silva and his leg.
Although the way in which Silva went out was more than unfortunate, Weidman had taken an early lead in the first round and looked poised to defeat him for the second time in a row. Weidman first claimed the title over Silva back in July, upsetting the reigning middleweight champ who’d held on to the belt for seven years.
"I did work on checking kicks," Weidman said after the match. "I figured if I [caught] him on my knee,...
