UFC Fight Night: Gustafsson Vs. Manuwa Play By Play
This has a chance to be a sleeper fight night card. With so much UFC on TV today, unless you’re the hardest of hardcores, a lot of these shows blend together. But this show that’s exclusively shown on Fight Pass has a chance to stand out a bit from UFC’s B and C shows. Follow…
Read MoreJon Jones’ Next Opponent
According to Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez from Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline, Jon Jones’ next opponent will not be Alexander Gustafsson, even after a photo of Jones and Gustafsson together in the hospital made them look like a modern day Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. Instead, it will be Glover Teixeira. Teixeira recently knocked out Ryan Bader…
Read MorePhoto – Jones Vs Gustafsson Is The New Creed And Balboa
At the end of the original Rocky, after Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed destroy each other for fifteen rounds, Creed tells Balboa, “Ain’t gonna be no rematch.” Balboa growls back, “Don’t want one.” After Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson beat each other up for five straight rounds, they both looked like they’d been in a…
Read MoreUFC 165 Preview – Jon Jones Vs. Alexander Gustafsson
Jon Jones is such a dominating champion that there isn’t much buzz for his fight this Saturday against Alexander Gustafsson.

I imagine Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, Rampage Jackson,…

We also had a pretty timely discussion about Ronda Rousey which is newsworthy because Dana White announced Rousey’s first UFC fight yesterday. Also, Jason (@dadrrtywhyteboi)…

Read MoreUFC 141 – Alistair Overeem Vs. Brock Lesnar Play By Play
As I said in the preview, I’m kind of surprised that this fight is happening. With all the injuries this year, the two biggest guys in the UFC made it through unscathed. It’s really a monster movie kind of fight. And, it’s also a your classic striker vs. wrestler match-up. The undercard was all decisions….
