    Cain Velasquez vs. Antonio Silva

    Tim Burke: Do I think it goes the same as the first one? No. Do I think Silva has a short here the second time? Hell no. Silva’s good, but not great. He uses his size well and hits hard, but he’s pretty plodding. Cain’s hands are fast, he’s technical, and that would win him the fight just on the feet. Throw in the gigantic wrestling advantage and it’s ...

    UFC 160 is just around the corner, and the betting lines for the fights are out. I've made a little bit of money back in the last two events, but still have a looong way to go to get back to level. It's going to happen though. I can feel it. The second half of 2013 is going to be akin to someone backing a truck up to my front door and dumping money onto my welcome mat. I'm thinking positive! Anyw...

    It's the heavyweight title defense that no one really asked for, but it's nevertheless still important and the headlining fight on a card that is rather excellent. Complaints about the main event are warranted, but that's about it.

    This card is filled with important fights for the heavyweight, lightweight, light heavyweight and other divisions as top contenders in position for a title shot (or n...

    Another week, another event. After doing these for a few months now, it's becoming easier for me to see how the UFC balances their cards. It should be a shock to approximately no one that PPV's and Fox shows feature the most talent, but I'm surprised at how much it translates to recent records. For instance, I had no one in the "likely to be cut" category for UFC on Fox 7, because almost everyone...
