Nate Diaz Accuses Conor McGregor Of Steroid Use At Impressively Ludicrous Press Conference
It’s late February and not much is going on in sports, so the press conference the UFC held today to promote Conor McGregor’s upcoming fight against Nate Diaz was the most entertaining happening of the day largely by default. Even so, it was really something, every bit as dumb as could be hoped....

UFC Golden Boy Sage Northcutt Loses By Submission
We’ve previously illustrated here how UFC has positioned weird robot Sage Northcutt as the future of the franchise, but the blond teenager’s rise up the MMA ranks appears to be retarded a bit after he lost by submission to Bryan Barberena—a fighter of whom you’ve probably never heard, and whose obsc...

Kenny Florian Plagiarizes For UFC Article; Fox Sports Calls It An "Oversight" [UPDATE: Florian Suspended]

Watch Both Corners React To Conor McGregor's One-Punch KO Of Jose Aldo
UFC’s army of lawyers doesn’t want you to see video of Conor McGregor’s one-punch knockout of Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, the shortest title fight in UFC history. (Though you can find it yourself without too much fuss.) But they can’t do anything about this footage of their corners’ respective reaction...

Dana White: I'm Voting For Donald Trump
I mean, look, as a fight fan and as an American I feel like I should question why anyone would care about who Dana White is voting for; go on about why Dana White shouldn’t be okay with a guy who’s been in the news for wanting to ban Muslims from the United States; muse on whether publishing an item...

The Jon Jones Redemption Tour Is Off With A Bang

Is Ronda Rousey A GLORY GIRL?
Hey, Ronda Rousey got her butt (and head and neck) kicked the other night. How did such a seemingly dominant athlete manage to end up losing so decisively? Was Rousey ill-prepared for Holly Holm’s cagey boxing style? Was she unnerved by Australia’s counter-clockwise toilet swirl? Did she take a dive...
How Ronda Rousey Lost
You’ve seen the kick. We’ve all seen the kick. Left shin meets jaw/neck, and Ronda Rousey is out. It was a brutal, iconic moment, but it’s almost beside the point: Holly Holm was already beating Rousey, and beating her badly. She wasn’t just edging her out; it was total domination from start to fini...
