Blog isn't a huge priority, which is why you don't see it heavily-promoted on the site anymore. We're all about making the parent site as great as it can be, and filling it with new content every day. Think of the articles/interviews as a bonus.

I'm glad he didn't trash-talk Sakara. I'd have to hate on him then.

I've never really followed Rivera as a fighter before the Bisping fight. Was the trash talking he said towards Bisping a one time thing, because he sounds like a pretty level-headed guy.

I never heard Rivera speak an unkind word about anyone till Bisping. Even when he was on TUF, he never trashed anyone.
I guess Bisping brings out the worst in people.
