It has been a busy week as the UFC looks to continue their trend of filling out the calender a season ahead. At the end of Winter we saw the summer cards announced, and now as spring comes to a close, the fall schedule is settling into place. Another five fights have been announced in the past 48hrs (or so) with Ovince St. Preux facing Cody Donovan and Diego Brandao fighting Daniel Pineda, Brando...

Nearly two years since making his UFC debut against Tony Ferguson in the Ultimate Fighter season 13 finale, Ramsey Nijem is 3-1 in the Octagon with a big fight against unbeaten Myles Jury coming up this Saturday in San Jose.

If he wanted to, Seth Baczynski could go around telling people that he just doesn't have time for 15-minute fights, and that's why he tends to finish them quicker than that. And really, he wouldn't be lying.

Baczynski (17-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC) is a utilities worker by day, often clocking 60 hours a week at that job. And when he's not working, he's got five kids at home under the age of 10 to cert...

Mike Pierce doesn’t have a nickname.He doesn’t have any tattoos, dyed hair, a chiseled physique or a walkout song that makes you think, “Here comes Mike Pierce” when it kicks in over the sound system. He’s never been featured in ESPN’s Top 10 Plays of the Day. There are no clips of him in the UFC’s pre-main card introduction video set to The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” that gives everyone in the arena c...

These guys are pretty low on the totem pole of 170 lbs, and their current status as unranked in the SB Nation MMA Consensus Rankings isn't going to change any time soon.

Neither guy is known for their s...
