If you are reading this, this is the first time I have ever blogged or really ever written anything other than an essay or term paper for school so bear with me. I just wanted to get some things out there concerning this last fight.
Man am I glad this fight is over! That is hard for me to say, because I LOVE to fight! Those of you who know me know I love this sport! I am glad it is over only because of the training camp leading up to the fight. I wonder if Randy Couture

Saturday, March 6th, the modest town of Lordsburg New Mexico will evolve into a town consumed by mixed martial arts. This transformation will happen when Shane Dunagan brings his brand of MMA event into the desert with him.
Xtreme Courage Fighting Championships is primarily an amateur event that brings together some of the finest up-and-coming fighters in the southwest. Shane hand picks and selects his fighters to ensure not only quality in his shows, but integrity within the event.…

It's not everyday that MMA gets promoted in a positive light. The sport has been mired in negative publicity and good old fashioned ignorant politics since its inception.
Anyone who has been paying attention remembers the human cock fighting tag, or Quinton Jackson's reckless driving tantrum. Take your pick of Dana White's vulgarity laden tirades, or most recently a former UFC Heavyweight Champion's debatable remarks about his dear friend Brock Lesnar.
Point being, those who have been paying a…

Las Vegas Nevada, aka Sin City, can be a very enticing place. With so much to offer locals and tourists from all over the world, it's hard to imagine a person not finding their place of zen somewhere on that strip.
For some it's entertainment, for others the night life, and for many it's just the euphoric atmosphere that comes along with all that is Vegas. While the sights and sounds are many, each person visits or stays there for his or her own unique reason.
The biggest attraction of course…

G'Day mates, let's talk UFC 110, one of the most exciting fight cards to hit the pay-per-view shelves in quite some time.
There is quite an electric feel surrounding the entire event.
Tickets sold out quicker than my prom date dropping her virtues.
Whether it's the fact that this is the first time a UFC event will be held Down Under, or that there are two seasoned living legends competing with young, hungry, next-generation fighters, UFC 110 is captivating at the very least.
One fight that m…

What do we mean when we say world class? What is the message that is conveyed by that term? Is it more a cliche or a description of the quality surrounding any particular topic described as such?
World class in reference to the sport of MMA really is as literal as it sounds. It is a type of competition that allows for any person to compete at the highest level of the sport, regardless of their nationality or beliefs.
The eclectic mosaic of competitors that compete in this sport could rival any…

For a sport riddled with uncertainty, with no odds that can determine outcomes indefinitely, many questions are posed.
Even when an individual seems unstoppable, it turns out all it takes is a determined Matt Serra to get the job done. That is in reference of a historical upset, an upset that saw heavy underdog Matt Serra dismantle Georges St. Pierre for the UFC welterweight title.
GSP rebounded quite nicely from his loss to Serra regaining his belt in the process. The UFC is proud to still ca…

With time, all things come to pass. Few things are forever.
Of the few things that truly can withstand the test of time, greatness is one of them. It lives on through the legend that tells a story of success and historical impact on any given subject.
The importance of the series of events that lead an individual to become legendary is paramount when looking back at the time in which a legacy was forged.
Legends can be considered legendary even in the present though. Before the prime of a gre…

Roaming New Mexico is an amateur fighter with deep potential for MMA. Jesus Padron, known as "Zeus" amongst his peers, is the light heavyweight and heavyweight champion of Shane Dunagan's XCFC.
In his amateur career, Padron is 10-0. Over 10 fights, only one of his opponents has made it past the first round, and that one ended with a brutal shoulder throw that knocked his opponent senseless in the second. Jesus Padron is the real deal; there are no two ways about it.
When you watch Padron fight…

There is not one ounce of doubt that lingers from the days when the MMA community was questioning if Brock Lesnar belonged. Many people loathed the idea of a professional wrestler crossing over and bringing his bag of tricks with him to make a mockery of MMA.
As it turned out, even the most pure of fans were proven wrong as the MMA career of Lesnar began to take shape. What were once questions about his place in the sport, his rapid ascent to the front of the line, and his level of talent vs. h…

With UFC 109 barreling down on fight fans, the hype surrounding the event has begun to grow. This card provides the fan the rare opportunity to see two active and current UFC Hall of Famers square off in the Octagon for the first time ever.
While the allure of this card can be elusive to some, the selling point in the eyes of the UFC is the Hall of Fame credentials of both men. And like it or not, that is a rare honor indeed. To see two Hall of Famers fight is quite unique, and it may never hap…

Tulsa, Oklahoma, was the place to be this past Saturday night if you're a fight fan. Big names, big fights, big action, all for a regional gate fee. New Year's Revolution paid dividends to its investors on a grand scale.
Oklahoma fight fans in attendance were treated to a great night of fights. For those who could not sit cage side, gofightlive.tv had their backs too.
At gofightlive.tv fight fans were able to tune in via live pay per view stream for a modest $10. Most fight fans spent that muc…

It is no secret throughout the sport of MMA that enthusiasts, competitors, analysts, and reporters alike all see B.J. "The Prodigy" Penn as an immovable obstacle atop the UFC lightweight division.
The conversation is usually a short one when speaking about clear and apparent challengers to Penn's throne. It starts with a question of who can and will challenge the champ and usually ends with a simple and abundant answer of nobody.
The consensus is that Penn is just too strong on paper at 155 lb…

The plains of Tulsa, Okla., are about to erupt into an MMA inferno Saturday night. 5150 Combat and Xtreme Fighting League are putting on an event stacked with high-profile and elite mixed martial artists.
At the New Year's Revolution card, the promotion is going all in, showcasing more than 20 fights, multiple title bouts, and plenty of star power.
Maybe the biggest name in attendance will not be competing in the cage. Ultimate Fighter Season One winner and MMA superstar Forrest Griffin will b…
