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…

UFC Albany: Lewis vs Abdurakhimov – Winners and Losers
There’s not really a nice but honest way to put it, but this event was not great. When it comes to practicality, it certainly served its purpose. This was mostly lower-ranked fighters trying to develop and move up with a few ranked talents attempting to make big waves in their…

TUF 24 Finale: Johnson vs Elliott – Winners and Losers
I’ll just come right out and say it – the UFC’s frantic run to end 2016 is exhausting. Weeks upon weeks of one event after the other is one way to burn out fans is a very risky thing for the UFC, as fans have been consistently unimpressed with each…

UFC Melbourne: Winners and Losers
Another Fight Night event, another series of fights designed to move divisions along and separate the wheat from the chaff. As expected, this card came with low fan expectation since the cancellation of a very anticipated main event between Jacare Souza and Luke Rockhold, yet the event had some bright…

UFC Fight Night 99 & 100 – Winners and Losers
And so, it became a familiar cliché – a tale of two cards. UFN Belfast was a decent affair. An event with plenty of mid-carders and some fighters near the bottom of their respective divisions attempting to scale their way up the rankings. And ultimately, that’s what both of these…

UFC 205: McGregor vs Alvarez – Winners and Losers
Even though we didn’t get to see Rashad Evans fight Tim Kennedy or Donald Cerrone fight Kelvin Gastelum, this card was stacked and arguably what the UFC intended for UFC 200 to be. We got a little bit of everything here, with a monumental event that avoided the dreaded “three…

UFC: Cyborg vs Lansberg – Winners and Losers
Winners Cris Cyborg – There’s something that’s become more and more disturbing with each Cyborg fight since joining Invicta, and it’s the fact that she’s still fighting similarly-sized opponents with a degree of experience that isn’t really comparable to hers, or on her skill level. This leads to people assuming…

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…

Opinion: CM Punk simply cannot win
Remember UFC 181? Way back in early December of 2014, the UFC announced the latest and boldest of signings, former Ring of Honor and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar CM Punk (government name Phillip Jack Brooks). The move turned heads in quick fashion, as the straight-edge star was coming off…

UFC 202: McGregor vs Diaz 2 – Winners and Losers
How often do we as fans get an hotly anticipated event that is headlined by a fight that has no true divisional relevance and serves for little more than bragging rights in the end? We truly are spoiled, and that’s a great thing. In fact, a fair amount of these…
