Remember the last time we featured an interview with UFC Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste? Well, her presence generated the most amount of traffic to Jarry Park...EVER. Seriously, it did. Kurt Angle, Bas Rutten, DDP, GSP - they should all bow down to the queen of the Octagon. It didn't take me ...

We're just a couple of days away from UFC Fight Night 12 and if this one's half as good as UFC 80 then, well, it will be great! And you know what? Top to bottom this card (on paper) looks like it should be better. It's a safe bet that ...

Anthony Johnson Gets Ready To Rumble

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Anthony "Rumble" Johnson is responsible for one of the best knockouts of 2007. His disposal of Chad Reiner in just 13 seconds at Ultimate Fight Night 10 in June was as solid a UFC debut a fighter can hope for. At UFC 76, it appeared as though the 23-year-old Johnson ...

Travis Lutter Patiently Awaits His Second Chance

Friday, January 11th, 2008

On my last Fight Network Radio appearance, I mentioned that I was anxiously looking forward to Travis Lutter's return to the Octagon. Sure, he messed up by failing to make weight before his title bout against Anderson Silva at UFC 67 but that just makes me want to see him ...

Arianny Celeste Is The Queen Of The Octagon

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

For the last hour or so, I've tried to find the history of the ring card girl but to no avail. For most of us (except maybe my 90-year-old great uncle who checks out the site from time-to-time), ring card girls have been a part of the combat sports world ...
