I wasn’t able to live blog the first World Series Of Fighting show, but I did get a chance to check it out and I have some thoughts on the show: The opening left a lot to be desired. You could hear Todd Harris’ and Bas Rutten’s voices, but long shots of the cage while…
Read MoreAll the talking is done. It’s fight time. 1. John Alessio vs. Mark Bocek Bocek got a trip near the cage and Alessio grabbed to cage, but still went down.

Read MoreIt seems like forever since New Year’s Day when we saw UFC 125. Even though there weren’t a ton of people who bought that fight, there seems to be a buzz for the UFC again, though not like they’ve lost their roll or anything. But in the last few days, the hype for this event…
