Matt watches “the biggest heavyweight fight of all time” and writes about it, an exercise in self-flagellation given the results of yesterday’s predictions. It was the UFC’s big summer card with their most recognizable star, and I’ve got a $50 birthday check from Grandma that sure as hell wasn’t gonna go toward bills, rent or … Continue reading UFC 116: The Review

Matt and Bruce make our picks for tomorrow night's blockbuster UFC event. Because we are experts. Or maybe just because we like making predictions. (If it's not obvious enough, all photos come from the folks at Heavy.com) MAIN EVENT: Heavyweight Title Match Brock Lesnar v. Shane Carwin BRUCE: Let's see, Lesnar won the title by overwhelming … Continue reading Clash of the Titans – UFC 116: Lesnar vs. Carwin Predictions
We're down to four. In a special two hour show, we are scheduled to get the two semi-final fights. You know what that means? That's right we'll find out who our finalists are. You know what else it means? Right again. Lots and lots of filler. The show opens with new coach, Rich Franklin, taking … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode11
With only one fight left, this week's show featured the guy we love to hate, Jamie Yager, taking on Josh Bryant. Yager has talked trash for the entire series. Unfortunately for his opponents, he has backed it up with some sick knockouts. Tonight he takes on the guy the housemates called Spongebob Squareback. Yager has … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 10
The first thing we see when the show opens is Tito Ortiz telling his fighters he needs surgery on a slipped disc. Sounds more like he's trying to duck Liddell to me. I'm just saying. Tonight we were scheduled for two fights. The first one was Kris McCray and Kyle Noke. The two guys took … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 9
When last we checked in with our Ultimate Fighters, several personnel moves led us to the precipice of the quarter finals. Before we can get there we've got to go through the wild card fight. New to this season, the wild card fight gives a pair of fighters a second chance to advance. Last week, … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 8
Well, May sucked. Let's just leave it at that. I got behind on everything, including these. I plan to make up for that tonight. I'm forgoing a live viewing of tonight's 2 hour finale in order to write my reviews of the four episodes of TUF Season 11 I missed. When last we convened, there … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 7
We're back again, and so is Chuck Lidell. Having retaken control in our last episode, Lidell is in charge of setting the penultimate first round fight. In doing so, he chooses Nick Ring (Team Ortiz) to take on Court McGee (Team Liddell). Ring was Ortiz' first overall selection and Tito feels pretty good about the … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 6
When last we left our merry band of MMA fighters, Team Ortiz had taken control after Jamie Yager nearly crushed the skull of Charles Blanchard. With a couple of the wildcard contenders down with post fight injuries, speculation is rampant in the house as to how the powers that be will choose the wildcards. Hammortree … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 5
This week's episode promised two fights. What does that mean? It means more of the fighting we tune in to see with the UFC and less of the reality show filler. We got the filler up front with footage from last week of Jamie Yager cheering on Brad Tavares. The problem? Yager is Team Ortiz … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 4
