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. Refining one’s skills is a daunting task on local circuits, to be forced to learn on the job while tangling with the world’s elite crop of fighters is a borderline crime, but it certainly [...]
