Back in the 1990’s, Mark Coleman took on the moniker of “The Godfather of Ground and Pound”. His relentless assault on his fallen foes often resulted in bloody bodies and quick stoppages.

Dan Henderson is not only the modern day equivalent to the Running Man, he’s also as tough as any human being on the face of earth. This man can take a trouncing like no other, and often manages to rebound and snag impressive victories. Given his low-key demeanor, and I’d-share-a-beer-with-you-anytime attitude, Dan has painted himself [...]

We thought we had heard the last of BJ Penn's cheating accusations, until he started digging in on Nick Diaz the other day. BJ must have figured out his password to his twitter account and started accusing Nick of cheating in their last fight in UFC 137 which was a few months ago.

Nate Diaz is one of very few fighters who have successfully honed their craft while competing on the largest stage possible.

Over the last few decades we’ve seen some very polarizing personalities emerge in this sport. Some men choose to express themselves precisely as they would behind closed doors; some men opt to project specific images in the hopes of drawing more fan interest. The protagonist personality surfaces just as often as the antagonistic, but it [...]
