    Hope you jerks are having a better Father's Day than some of us.

    Yesterday didn't just provide us with depressing fights from former contenders. We also got to witness a fight from former champion Tim Sylvia and Jong Dae Kim attempt to win The Bob Sapp Challenge™. Okay, so it was still somewhat depressing. But at least you won't feel guilty for pointing and laughing at anyone involved, so what...

    Remember that "big announcement" former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia was teasing for April 14?

    Could it be?

    With the possibility that Alistair Overeem is no longer eligible to compete for Ultimate Fighting Championship's (UFC) heavyweight title on May 26 in Las Vegas, any "big announcement" coming from a 265-pound fighter is worth paying attention to.

    Even if it's from Tim Sylvia.

    "The Maine-iac," who in recent weeks has resorted to begging his old boss for another crack at fame and for...

    With 13 finishes in 13 career wins, Andreas Kraniotakes is all about the stoppage win.

    With all four of his career losses coming by way of decision, Mike Hayes isn't exactly familiar with stopping short of the final bell.

    "I have 13 wins in my career, and all of those wins came by way of

    submission or knockout," Kraniotakes told MMAjunkie.com Radio. "He's a guy that refuses to get finished.
