Caplan vs. Harkness. 5 oz. of Pain vs. FightLinker. The Battle of the Bloggers is nearing, my friends.

I have no problem saying that I absolutely love watching Kenny Florian fight. I think it has something to do with the fact that he doesn't look like your normal MMA fighter (and that's a compliment) yet he is so talented. Or maybe its just because he looks like a ...

Sean Salmon has fought nine times in 2007 with five of those fights coming in the last two and a half months. If he wasn't medically suspended for 45 days I'm sure he would have been thrilled to make it ten.

Once heralded as the future of the UFC's 185-pound division, "the Crow" followed that loss with another ...

One has to wonder how last night's quarter-final matchup on The Ultimate Fighter 6 between Tommy Speer and Ben Saunders would have turned out had Saunders not been so sick. Such is the life of a fighter - especially one on TUF. Come hell or high water, if you are ...

Forget about GSP-Hughes III, the announcement that really rocked the MMA world this week* was Ryan Harkness (FightLinker.com) challenging Sam Caplan (fiveouncesofpain.com, proelite.com and cbssports.com) to a REAL MMA fight. No, really he did. And, yes, they are going to fight.
I had heard some rumblings that Ryan was going to ...

Apparently, Mike Whitehead can't get enough of competing for team-based MMA promotions. First, the International Fight League and now the new Ring of Fire (not to be confused with the promotion in Denver).
Before we get to Ring of Fire, in my interview with Whitehead (found below) he officially cleared up ...
