Training? Three times a day with the occasional Sunday rest. Nutrition? [...]

Unfortunately (or fortunately?), Shonie Carter is not among them.
According to UFC.com, these match ups will be featured on the November 11 card from The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in [...]

Prior to a catastrophic motorcycle accident in 2004, which nearly cost him his life and left leg, Frank Mir was at the top of his game.
The former UFC Heavyweight Champion has since returned to the Octagon, compiling an unimpressive 1-1 record so far this year.
It’s safe to say the he is no longer “The Baddest [...]

Victor “The Matrix” Valimaki (8-2) today confirmed that he will make his debut in the Octagon against David Heath (6-0) on Wednesday, December 13 at Ultimate Fight Night (UFN) 7, according to MMARingReport.com.
Here’s a snip from Valimaki:
