Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes and rockstars are fixtures at sporting events.
Whether it's Jerry Seinfeld donning a Mets cap at Shea Stadium or Jack Nicholson grimacing courtside at the Staples Center, the cameramen and booth announcers just love to point out the well-known fans in the stands.
The UFC has its share of famous faces in the […]

If your cable bill is through the roof — or you just don’t want to clean your friends’ crusty yellow piss from the bathroom floor come New Year’s Eve morning — there are tons of alternatives to check out the upcoming UFC 66 pay-per-view (PPV) event.
For the nearest sports bar in your area broadcasting the […]

One of our MySpace friends just sent over a nice highlight video of Chuck Liddell (19-3) and Tito Ortiz (15-4).
The two will face off for the second time in two years this upcoming Saturday at UFC 66 for the light heavyweight championship of the world.
Liddell knocked out Ortiz in round two at UFC 47 back […]

For me, longtime HBO boxing analyst Larry Merchant is one of the many reasons boxing has fallen by the wayside.
The only good interviews he ever did were with Bernard Hopkins, because B-Hop was so great at breaking his old and shriveled balls.
He’s one of those guys who you ask what time it is, and he […]

There are several fights on the UFC 66 card that I can’t wait to watch.
Who am I kidding, the heavyweight match up between Anthony Perosh and Christian Wellisch sounds interesting right about now.
The first post-The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) appearance of Michael Bisping (11-0), however, is number two (okay, maybe three) on my list for December […]

We told you what we wanted for Christmas this year.
Ultimate Grappling Magazine, however, recently caught up with some current and former UFC fighters such as Rich Franklin and Matt Lindland and asked them what was on their lists.
Better late than never.
Here’s what they had to say:

“My holiday wish is for my wife, kids and I […]

Ah, the great things one can find on MySpace.
Check out the gem below. Nearly lost it when I saw it. Think Keith Jardine is scared?

Go on … tell him he looks cute in a cape and red undies. Triple dog dare you!

Tim Sylvia is the most underappreciated champion in the UFC.
There’s lots of reasons fans don’t care for him, whether it’s his string of recent boring fights or his downright creepy obsession with the heavyweight belt.
Pick a reason, any reason.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan. But, I give the guy credit for beating whoever Joe Silva […]

It looks like Santa may grant one of my 2006 Christmas wishes.
UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre (13-1) might fight undefeated contender Diego Sanchez (17-0) at UFC 69 in Montreal, Canada, according to MMAWeekly.com.
Lately, the usually reliable Web site has been driving us nuts with its future match up rumors. But, on the heels of […]

I wasn’t planning on blogging tonite. After all, it is Christmas.
But, Santa was good to me this year, leaving a classic DVD in my stocking — “The Smashing Machine.”
The HBO “docudrama” follows former UFC fighters Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman through the early mixed martial arts (MMA) days — back when it truly was no […]
