Good Riddance: A hater’s post-mortem on 2019
With another year gone, everyone usually sets up their tallies for polls regarding fighter of the year, fight of the year, etc. It’s always good as it is to take time to celebrate the people and events that make combat sports memorable. But see, that’s just not what we’re going…

And boy howdy, did…

UFC Sao Paulo: Machida vs. Brunson – Winners and Losers
With what appears to be a near-interminable run of events to finish off the year, the UFC tucked another card while ramping up to what’s shaping up to be their PPV of the year. Last week we had a fun little action card from Europe, now it’s Brazil’s turn to…

UFC Japan: Saint Preux vs Okami – Winners and Losers
The one truly consistent thing that the UFC has done this year is rearrange and firmly establish the the hierarchy of their events. FS1 is clearly not where you’re going to find the absolute best cards. This event had some fun stylistic matchups and suffered from a weak main event,…
