After running his professional record to 6-0 on the New Jersey circuit, Tim Boetsch caught his first big break when he earned a spot in the IFL promotion in 2007. Unfortunately, Boetsch was defeated in his only fight with the IFL by veteran Vladimir Matyushenko. Following the collapse of that promotion, Boetsch was invited to join the UFC, and earned respect from fans and media with a slam knockout of David Heath in his Octagon debut.
Boetsch, who has a solid base in high school wrestling, is known for his aggression and raw physical strength and tenacity. He has never been to a judges’ decision, and although he was cut from the UFC in 2009 after going 2-2 with the promotion, he has since battled his way back in for a new contract.

UFC 150 will go down on August 11th in Denver, and there was a bit of confusion about what would serve as the main event of the card for a while. Frankie Edgar would have liked to stage the rematch with Ben Henderson in September, but apparently he will not get his way and they'll meet on this card instead. Only three other bouts have been announced so far, the biggest being Jake Shields s...

(Chad's the dead guy in the background.)
After getting utterly demolished by the much-larger Travis Browne during his Octagon debut at UFC 145, heavyweight prospect Chad Griggs has decided to drop to 205 pounds for his follow-up UFC appearance. Griggs was only 228 pounds when he hit the scales before his UFC debut — about as heavy as Jon Jones's walking weight — making this a wise career choic...

When Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its way into a new market or city or province or country, even, it typically results in a sold out arena with a highly successful gate.
UFC 149: "Aldo vs. Koch," which will go down on Sat., July 21, 2012, at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is no different.
Indeed, tickets for the event have already sold out, just days after ...

Surprisingly absent from the conference was that of UFC ...
