Junior dos Santos lost his coveted UFC heavyweight title to Cain Velasquez in December, but it seems that he won't have to wait around long for an opportunity to get it back. Dos Santos meets Mark Hunt in the co-main event of UFC 160 and according to UFC president Dana White, JDS will get a shot at the title against the winner of the main-event fight between Velasquez and Antonio Silva the same e...

It’s a night of heavy hands and heavy stakes, as Cain Velasquez, Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva, Junior dos Santos and Mark Hunt invade Las Vegas for UFC 160.

Another weekend of fisticuffs has come and gone as UFC 159 blew the roof off the Prudential Center last Saturday night (April 27, 2013) in Newark, New Jersey.

Many combatants were left licking their wounds after a wild night of fights including Cheick Kongo, who was knocked out cold in less than two minutes by the heavy-handed Roy Nelson (read about it here). And Alan Belcher, who failed to walk...

MR. JONESGuess we’ll be dealing with this Jon Jones guy at the top for a while, eh? Fresh from another dominant performance, one that tied him with Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz for most UFC title defenses at 205 pounds, Mr. Jones is starting to hear that All-Time great talk once again. To his credit, he’s taking it all in with grace and saying the right things, but man, it’s hard not to see that the ...

UFC 159: "Jones vs. Sonnen" took place Saturday night (April 27, 2013) in Newark, N.J., with Jon Jones defeating Chael Sonnen by first-round technical knockout in the main event for his fifth Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight title defence.

With an event that saw six of the 11 bouts on the card end by (technical) knockout or submission, there were plenty of facts to come out...

UFC 159: "Jones vs. Sonnen" is in the books and in one of the most anticipated pay-per-view (PPV) cards of the year; the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) produced one of the oddest shows in history as questionable fight tactics, eye pokes and broken appendages were a theme throughout the evening.

Jon Jones, Michael Bisping, Roy Nelson, Phil Davis and Pat Healy were the big winners Saturday (...

Going into Saturday night, April was looking to be one of the best months when it came to quality of shows in UFC history.

It opened on April 6 with the show in Stockholm, Sweden, that didn't look good on paper, but greatly overachieved. There were mostly entertaining fights, several good finishes, and the debut of a potential star in Ireland's Conor McGregor. The Ultimate Fighter finals t...

Junior dos Santos is just one win away from a chance to regain the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight title, according to company president Dana White.

At Saturday's UFC 159 post-fight press conference (watch it here) in Newark, N.J., White confirmed that a victory for "Cigano" over Mark Hunt at UFC 160 next month would put him in the No. 1 contenders spot in the weight class, desp...

UFC 159 is in the books, and quite frankly it was not one of the UFC's better shows. If last week's UFC on Fox 7 was enthralling from start to finish, UFC 159 consisted of fouls interspersed with entertainment. The exciting moments were buried underneath an avalanche of both eye pokes and Joe Rogan ranting about how a new style of gloves will magically reduce the number of eye pokes we see. The o...

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White hinted at the post-UFC 159 press conference (watch replay here) that Roy Nelson -- fresh off a crushing first round knockout of Cheick Kongo at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. -- could get Daniel Cormier or Mark Hunt next.

The vote here is for Cormier, who seemingly thinks it's a good idea, too.

Nelson and Cormier would be perfect for ...

In an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) main event that was as clear-cut as it was brief, Jon Jones concluded UFC 159, which took place at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., with a technical kmockout win over Chael Sonnen with 30 seconds to spare in round one last night (April 27, 2013).

After some opening moments where an aggressive Sonnen came out forcing exchanges, Jones -- content to work...

White said he and matchmaker Joe Silva had huddled and hatched the plan shortly ...

It's well known that 'Big Country' has had his eye on the winner of the upcoming fight between Junior dos Santos and Mark Hunt at UFC 160 next month. But a new name has been thrown into the air, and it appears that it may be fight to get made quickly. When questioned on the idea of Roy Nelson facing Daniel Cormier next, everyone seemed a little caught off guard, and a lot intrigued.

The question...

UFC 159's main card rolls on with a fight between heavyweight sluggers Cheick Kongo (18-7-2 MMA, 11-5-1 UFC) and Roy Nelson (18-7 MMA, 5-3 UFC).

Kongo is looking to once again form a winning streak while Nelson is again looking to position himself for a big fight. UFC 159's main card airs starting at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on pay-per-view.

How do these two stack up?

Kongo: 37 years old | 6'4" ...

Even though he has a difficult test ahead of him in the form of Cheick Kongo at UFC 159 Saturday night (April 27, 2013) in Newark, N.J., Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight Roy Nelson already has the name of his next opponent in mind.

"Big Country" is slated to face Kongo on the pay-per-view (PPV) portion of the UFC 159 fight card at the Prudential Center, and once he dispatches of ...

Back at UFC 155, Heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez reclaimed his title from Junior dos Santos in an incredibly dominant decision victory. It wasn't long after that before Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury took to Twitter to call out the mixed martial artist. Cain resopnded with a short and sweet invitation for Tyson to stop talking about it and "go ahead and do it."

At Wednesday's Fan Q&A in New York,...

Two very potent pugilists will square off this Saturday night (April 27, 2013) as heavyweights Roy Nelson and Cheick Kongo wage war on the UFC 159 main card in Newark, New Jersey.

Nelson has been on fire, crushing two straight opponents inside the first round with his signature right hand to put himself back in the heavyweight mix. He's hoping to avoid being stifled against the lifelong heavywei...

Sounds like Georges St. Pierre isn't the only one taking a wait-and-see approach to their next fight.

Strikeforce import Daniel Cormier -- who made his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut inside the Octagon with a unanimous decision win over Frank Mir at UFC on FOX 7 last weekend in San Jose (see it here) -- hasn't decided what weight division he plans to compete in for his next fight.
