For the UFC, the stakes are fairly light tonight. The main event does carry important implications, particularly if Bisping wins, but they aren't world alterating. In addition, the UFC wants to put on a good show for their first event in Sao Paulo (Brazil's largest city) and it's been reported the ticket sales were a bit sluggish. But it's a marathon, not a race and while the first show in the th...

That’s right boys and girls, it’s time for another Brazilian version of the Downes Side. In the Midwest it’s getting as low as 8º F (-13ºC). In São Paulo Brazil it’s 79ºF (26ºC) and sunny. Good thing I’m in Brazil, er, that I have a warm jacket.

Vitor Belfort vs. Michael BispingBrent Brookhouse: I’ve always maintained that the "Bisping has a bad chin" thing is way overstated. He can be hurt, but we’re not talking about a guy who gets finished all the time. The only time someone actually finished him was the absolute bomb from Henderson that likely finishes any man on the planet. He’s been buzzed plenty, but he recovers well and doesn...

After upping the ante with a fiery staredown at Thursday's pre-fight press conference, all eyes were on Vitor Belfort and Michael Bisping at Friday's UFC on FX 7 weigh-ins in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Belfort, who was the clear crowd favorite, tipped the scales at a trim 185 pounds. Likewise, Bisping edged his mark at 186 pounds under a loud cascade of boos. The two jawed back and forth once again, tho...

Every UFC fighter says each of their UFC fights is important, but that's not often true. In the case of Bisping, there's no argument to the contrary.

C.B. Dollaway had his back against the wall in his last fight, and he never, ever wants to be there again.

Heading into his bout against Jason Miller at UFC 146, "The Doberman" was on a two-fight losing streak. Normally known for an exciting pressure-based style that attacks his opponents with wrestling, submissions and heavy strikes, he had to tone everything down and win a very conservative un...

January is not only a time to give the oxygen of publicity to...
