Judo Chump: Bryce Harper’s swing and a miss edition
I’ve said for years that at some point in his life every man thinks he can rap, and every man thinks he can fight. The usual result is the cold and horrible realization that neither are true and that everything we have been taught since birth is a vile and…

UFC 211: Miocic vs dos Santos – Winners and Losers
This card had some major expectations, largely due to the venue and the names associated with it. The UFC needed a big win here, with their offerings being mostly underwhelming this year to most fans, and the financial pressures they reportedly have to deal with. What we expected was fireworks.…

UFC on Fox: Johnson vs Reis – Winners and Losers
The UFC’s approach towards packing the free Fox cards with matchups geared towards excitement was always a great idea. Having title eliminator fights or just fights that are of direct consequence in a title picture also helped, but putting a title fight on should feel like a treat. But while…

Invicta FC 22 – Evinger vs Kunitskaya 2 preview
This Saturday, Invicta FC has another must-watch event with what perhaps their most well-matched card in the organization’s existence. Perhaps that sounds like hyperbole, but the stylistic matchups should ensure that there are plenty of action bouts, especially in the more divisionally consequential fights near the top of the card.…

UFC 209: Woodley vs Thompson 2 – Winners and Losers
As far as the hierarchy for events goes, the numbered pay-per-view events have historically been the pinnacle of prestige. In theory, they’re what fans have been conditioned to expect to be the very best. Yet despite everyone’s best intentions, we’ve learned that unpredictability can ruin any and all good plans…

UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Browne – Winners and Losers
Canada has been a long-suffering market that in recent years has really had to endure what could be considered subpar cards on paper (and turned out to be just fine or not good at all in practice). When the announcement was made that Lewis vs Browne would be moved to…

UFC Houston: Korean Zombie vs Dennis Bermudez – Winners and Losers
Another event down, and another set of changes for the UFC when it comes to doing business. We’ve expected events on Super Bowl weekend to be PPV affairs, often with bigger names. This year an event was staged in the same city as the Super Bowl but for an FS1…

UFC 206: Holloway vs Pettis – Winners and Losers
When you lose a fight as anticipated as Daniel Cormier vs Anthony Johnson, fans are going to be justifiably upset. Losing a marquee fight to be left with a series of fights that had potential for excitement, but not much major buzz? That’s going to lower expectations tremendously. So in…

Opinion – Another UFC fight for CM Punk makes sense
UFC 203 is done and over with, and while there was plenty of strange items to take away from the event, the biggest questions continue to surround one man: CM Punk. Prior to the event, there was an increasing degree of anticipation for his debut, as well as a fair…
