A veteran of three tours of duty in Iraq as a Marine Sergeant, Mike Richman knows what it is like to be in a fight. He gave up his career in the Marines to take on MMA full time in 2008. He began fighting on the Minnesota circuit and quickly achieved an 11-1 record including 6 fights in the prolific Brutaal Fight Night promotion. In those wins, he racked up 7 submissions and 2 knockouts. He was tapped to join the TUF 12 cast in 2010. He lost his first fight against Aaron Wilkinson thus he did not make it into the house.
Richman made a big splash on the national MMA scene when he made his Bellator debut against WEC and Bellator vetran Chris Horodecki. He showed excellent striking and cage control in the 1 minute 23 second fight that ended with Horodecki out cold due to strikes. This featherweight fight landed him a spot in Bellator's up coming Season 7 Featherweight Tournament.

UFC on FX 8 may have been short on stars, but the few that were in the arena on Saturday night made their presence felt with style.
Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza put on an absolute clinic, lulling Chris Camozzi into unconsciousness within a matter of seconds after locking in a first-round arm triangle for his UFC debut. And then came Vitor Belfort. An underdog o...

I want you, as readers, to know that I understand the claims I'm making when I say that kicking is a new skill to MMA. In it's earliest days MMA emphasized the exoticism of techniques, taking often under-trained (in MMA) fighters and matching them against one another to see which of their martial skill sets was kin...

Bloody Elbow prides itself on being the best source for MMA rankings, and we've decided to try something new. In addition to the monthly Bloody Elbow Meta-Rankings, the SB Nation Rankings, and a bunch of us staffers contributing to the official UFC fighter rankings, we've recently added women's MMA rankings as well.
