Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in.

Georges St-Pierre officially tipped the scales at 170 pounds at the UFC 158 weigh-ins last month. Except, he didn't really. Or, at least, St-Pierre doesn't think he did.

The UFC welterweight champion mostly stayed silent on the controversy surrounding the Quebec athletic commission and its peculiar, last-second, "off the record" round-d...

Pat Curran's road to Bellator champion was the perfect paradigm of the promotion's goal.

He went from unheralded competitor to one of the top ranked featherweights in the world, and it all happened because of his performances in the tournament format and his run to the title.

The Team Curran fighter competed against stiff competition and proved himself against the likes of Roger Huerta, Mike Ri...

We don't want to over-do the whole 'Frodo' moniker of Magomedrasul Khasbulaev, but when you have to type out (or even copy and paste) Magomedrasul Khasbulaev, it kind of wears on you. Personally, I've been trying to type out Frodo's full name over and over to commit it to memory, but I'm just about ready to give up and call him Frodo Khasbulaev forever. Who wouldn't want to be called Frodo eith...

The entire audio of the call can below found below in the Stew, and believe me, it's gold. Though I've also transcribed several of the more entertaining secti...

On a Thursday night when the semifinals of the season 8 middleweight and featherweight tournaments were being staged, the Brazilians on the main card would face a disappointing night while the Russians and Americans would find reasons to smile.
