UFC 125 Primer (ESPN)



For decades, boxing was criticized for devoting little time or resources to undercards. Events pushed two headlining fighters; fans -- especially celebrities, who need to devote time to important thoughts -- grew trained to not even show up for preliminary bouts.



The UFC has rarely had that problem: a major…

Brock Lesnar Leaving the UFC Would Be a Brutal Hit to MMA

You could be the most anti-Brock Lesnar fan in the world, and yet, you'd probably still be unable to deny what the man has done for MMA in the two years that he's been a pro.



UFC mainstays, including UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock, Dan "The Beast" Severn and early UFC standout Paul "The Polar Bear" Varelans, have made the crossover in the past from the UFC to Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment, but before Brock…

Belfort Recruits Mike Tyson to Prepare for Silva

With an impending title fight against MMA’s deadliest marksman just around the UFC 126 corner, many were curious why Vitor Belfort opted to part ways with striking coach Shawn Tompkins. Well, it appears the middleweight top contender was busy courting boxing legend Mike Tyson to help him hone his hands for Anderson Silva.



While the stable of studs Xtreme Couture houses is likely the primary reason Belfort jumped ship, it… Continue

It's not revenge that Edgar is seeking

Frankie Edgar has spent the better part of his mixed martial arts career fighting against the odds.



He’s supposedly not big enough to fight at lightweight. He’s not strong enough to deal with the power of the biggest 155-pounders in the world. He’s not in the same league as B.J. Penn and can’t be the champion.



Edgar has overcome all of those challenges during his time in the UFC, and now as the reigning and defending lightweight champion, the New Jersey native will look…

MMA Stories of 2010

1. UFC sells 10 percent share to Abu Dhabi-based Flash Entertainment. Despite several offers to go public or take on additional investors, the Ultimate Fighting Championship remained a private outfit since Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta purchased it in 2001. Amid explosive growth in the decade's second half, UFC president Dana White repeatedly said the promotion's parent company, Zuffa LLC, would never dilute its ownership. But in January, that's exactly what it did when it sold a 10 percent stake… Continue

WEC's emotional Ben Henderson returns to drawing board, readies for UFC move

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Believe it or not, former WEC lightweight champion Ben Henderson (12-2 MMA, 5-1 WEC) said he already had seen the gravity-defying cage-assisted flying kick that Anthony Pettis (13-1 MMA, 5-1 WEC) used to floor him in the fifth round of their WEC 53 main-event scrap.



"I saw it in Mortal Kombat once," Henderson joked.



It's that type of attitude that made "Smooth" an instant star during his tenure in the WEC. And while he'll now make the transition to the UFC…

WEC 53 to air tonight on Versus

WEC Henderson Pettis 53

 

The WEC’s swan song will feature a lightweight title scrap between champ Ben Henderson and Anthony Pettis. While going down in the record books as the company’s last 155-pound king is a solid bullet point on the resume, it’s not nearly as impressive as becoming co-UFC lightweight champion.

 

Henderson owns a dominant 12-1 professional record and has skyrocketed up the ranks over the last couple of years. His…
