- The UFC is Afraid of GSP
by MMATraining.com's Matt Seen
So there I was at UFC91 in Las Vegas.
A break in the action so I make a dash to grab some peanuts, beer and a sausage (seriously, can’t the MGM stock some pizza or something other than peanuts and giant pretzels?).
As I walk up the stairs the cameras are flashing, the crowd is rising to their feet and I think, wow, finally I am getting some recognition for my work in the publishing field of mixed martial arts. Continue »
- UFC Heavyweight Division Lacks Depth
by MMATraining.com's Matt Seen
Brock Lesnar is the UFC Heavyweight champion along with Antonio “Big Nog” Nogueira.
Lesnar holds the UFC heavyweight belt – does that make sense?

- Top 5 Rematches We Need to See
by MMATraining.com's Kage Phan
With UFC 90’s unfulfilling main event in the books, fans and media have been arguing whether Patrick Cote and Anderson Silva should one day rematch.

In the meantime, here our picks for the top five rematches that we need to see on the near term horizon. Continue »
- Cote Would Have Won Over The Spider
by MMATraining.com's Matt Seen
Ok, now that I have your attention let’s debate Cote vs. Silva going the distance.
I have heard all of speculation that what we witnessed last night was Anderson Silva jogging on the treadmill at a “5″ instead of a “10″ and simply don’t buy it. Silva is a professional that has worked his entire life to be at the pinnacle of his sport and had everything to lose last night with little to gain – he is too smart to mail in any of his fights and risk an upset.
