The UFC is back on the road, this time to the land down under in Perth, Australia. The main card isn’t half bad with a great main event and some solid offerings leading up to it. Of course, it’s always a good day when Marwan Rahiki fights, so there’s that to look forward to. Can’t say the Tuivasa vs. Sutherland is one we’ll be anxiously awaiting, but ov…

The UFC is back in the warm embrace of their chosen arena, the META APEX. Where normally I would sling all sorts of insults at the talent level of the card, this week, I’m going to try to focus on the positives. Like the main and co-main events both being ranked fights. Like the fact that only nine fighters are coming off losses. And like the fact that …

The UFC is back on the road to Canada, and boy, oh boy, the fine folks in Winnipeg are really getting the short end of the stick with this miserable offering from the promotion. Sure, they get some local favorites on the card, but not only is star power lacking, ranked fights and quality are, as well. We have several fighters on multi-fight losing strea…

UFC 327 was a really solid card on paper and it delivered some solid moments in practice, too. Vicente Luque defied oddsmakers when he not only defeated Kelvin Gastelum, he stopped him in the second with a pretty gnarly D’arce choke. Tatiana Suarez kept her streak alive when she choked out Loopy Godinez in the second round, and Mateusz Gamrot put an early end to Esteban Ribovis’ night with an arm triangle to wrap up the best moments of the prelims.

The main card opened with Cub Swanson stopping Nate Landwehr in the first round—a picture perfect ending to a great career. Josh Hokit and Curtis Blaydes didn’t end in a finish, but it was a decent enough fight with plenty of action that saw Hokit scrape by on the score cards. Paulo Costa defeated Azamat Murzakanov via headkick TKO in the third round after looking like he’d exhausted himself shortly before was absolutely not on my Bingo card.

Finally, in the main event, a hobbled Carlos Ulberg knocked out Jiri Prochazka in the first round, a testament to willpower and resolve. Jiri, after seeing that Ulberg’s right knee was injured, started pointing to the mat ala Max Holloway, but he didn’t follow through, instead leaping away when the going got tough. It was like the fight gods were sick to death of being invoked with such casual disregard and ruled in Ulberg’s favor. Now that we’ve reviewed the highlights, let’s check out the results and bonuses while we’re here.

The main card features plenty of fun fights bound for action and probable highlight reel finishes. Finally, a worthwhile and impactful event. HUZZAH! Now, le…

The UFC is back at the Apex and does it ever show. Our boys behind the mic dubbed it “Not even good enough to be an LFA card”. Hearing Zane—the most optimistic fight analyst alive—say that was the first nail in the casket for this event. Looking at the stats and the actual matchmaking, then seeing how many losing skids are gracing the bout sheet hammers…

The UFC is keeping the show on the road, this time traveling back to the United States with their Seattle event. While it’s not the on-the-road show we used to get treated to years ago, it’s a pretty good offering nonetheless. And the hope that Israel Adesanya doesn’t follow in the footsteps of Tony Ferguson is ever present with fans and pundits alike. …

The UFC is back at the O2 Arena in London to give fans a heaping helping of local talent. The card is absolutely nothing to write home about, though. Outside the main event and a match here and there, Londoners won’t be getting their money’s worth with this offering from the multi-billion-dollar promotion. That MVP-Patterson bout does look mighty intrig…
