Mauricio “Shogun” Rua had a snoozefest with Mark Coleman back at UFC 94 in Ireland. The former PRIDE standout had a few pennies in the gas tank, at best, and took nearly all three rounds to put away an aging Coleman. The bout had all the makings of a furious grudge match, but fell a mile short.
I said after the fight that if Shogun were to show up in such condition again in his next fight, it could very well be his last in the UFC. It sounds like Rua …

In a candid interview with UFC Toronto, current Welterweight Champion George St. Pierre has admitted to cheating in his bout against current Lightweight champion BJ Penn.
But his admission may just leave a more bitter taste in BJ’s mouth. Take a look and see if you feel as though GSP did in fact have the upper hand in their fight at UFC 94.

Can’t we all just get along? No, no we haven’t been able to with the amount of complaining UFC lightweight champ B.J. Penn has done regarding his January welterweight loss to 170 lbs. champ Georges St. Pierre.

Stats like this further prove that even in these rough economic times, the UFC’s quality product is valued by fans. Valued so much that, the Zuffa-owned promotion is steadily growing while …

As I’ve been saying for some time now, B.J. Penn has shown multiple signs of lacking the desire to continue on in professional MMA fighting. Training at the championship level is not something the man sees as worthwhile or enjoyable, and thus you have the evidence right in front of you in the form of last Saturday night’s fight (if you could call it that).
