Upcoming Fights | Fight Results No list of top Canadian fighters is complete without mentioning Georges St-Pierre. In fact, you might as well dismiss any such list that doesn’t feature GSP at the top. He has a professional record of 20-2 with 15 of those wins coming in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), which is recognized as the predominant mma organization in the world. He has won 30 consecutive rounds – a UFC record – and outstruck his opponents 1067 to 367 (an almost 3 to 1 ratio). He’s sitting on an eight-fight win streak (the second longest in UFC history) with five successful defenses of his welterweight title, tying the UFC record set by Matt Hughes. There is currently … Read more »

I will be 26 in a few months and I’m already feeling ancient. You see, “back in my day”, when you participated in a sport you didn’t get to choose your opponents, nor could you back out of a matchup against your friends. Rashad Evans initially refused to fight his friend Jon Jones, but recently reversed his decision when confronted with Jones’ professionalism. Now from Strikeforce, welterweight champion Nick Diaz and lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez both say they won’t fight their friends. Why not? Refusing to fight people they like is detrimental to mma being taken seriously by the general public as a legitimate sport. It makes it look like a bunch of neanderthals settling grudges. (Michael Bisping’s recent antics … Read more »

The Super Fight Anderson Silva retained his Middleweight Championship at UFC 126, fanning the fires of anticipation over the possibility of a “super fight” between himself and Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre. UFC president Dana White confirmed that if St-Pierre should successfully defend his belt against challenger Jake Shields on April 30, the UFC would indeed set up a match between the two dominant fighters. The UFC later confirmed that the super fight will not happen if Shields wins the title. The whole point of the super fight is that it would pit two virtually undefeated champions against each other – two fighters who are interchangeable at the top of most people’s pound for pound rankings. If Shields wins, GSP would … Read more »

Soooooo … Josh Barnett withdrew his licencing appeal from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) this week. All they want from him is a clean drug test. Hmmm…. Other states are saying they won’t licence him if he doesn’t get licenced in California, which means he cannot fight in the United States. In order to get around this, the word on the street is that his bout in the Strikeforce heavyweight tournament will be held at an event in Japan. That’s all fine and good if Strikeforce is counting on him to get defeated, but what do they do if he wins his fight? Schedule another event in Japan? And doesn’t it strain an organization’s relationship with the state athletic … Read more »

Upcoming Fights | Recent Results Over the past few years, the smaller weight classes in mixed martial arts fighting have been aspiring to be on level ground with the heavier weight classes. For years, these guys have been putting on spectacular fights that many casual fans have not witnessed. There is a variety of circumstances as to why this is the case. As with any sport, there has to be depth in talent, a forum to display that talent, and a marketing train that will lead to exposure for the sport. Up until recently, the major promotions in mma have largely ignored the smaller weight classes, mainly due to a shortage of quality talent. But the new year brings with … Read more »

Strikeforce is a rising mma organization without a known face. Everybody knows when they see Dana White that they are going to hear about the UFC. But who is out there talking about Strikeforce?

We do not want to compare Strikeforce and the UFC. There is no comparison. One is dominant and the other is up and coming. And there is nothing wrong with either. The fact of the matter is, even UFC president Dana White has praised Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker in the past. “He puts on a good show and I think if you talked to his fighters about him, they’d all … Read more »
