Longtime heavyweight Cheick Kongo has parted ways with ZUFFA following his knockout loss to Roy Nelson at UFC 159 last weekend (April 27, 2013) in Newark, New Jersey. Get the details, inside.
Despite turning down a fight against Daniel Cormier in the past, Matt Mitrione proactively requested a fight against Roy Nelson at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 16 Finale, replacing Shane Carwin and demonstrating that he is indeed a team player.
A heavyweight battle pitting a returning Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira against Cheick Kongo has been booked for UFC 149 on July 21, 2012, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
On Sat., Dec. 10, MMA fans in Toronto Canada were treated to a night full of thrilling fights as UFC 140 overtook the Air Canada Centre. MMAmania.com takes a look at who emerged at the big winners and lowliest of losers from Saturday night's event.
The ratings are in for the UFC 137 "Prelims" special that aired on Spike TV this past Oct. 29 and, for the second straight event, the numbers don't look good.
Just in case you missed anything from the major weekend in MMA, we've got a comprehensive guide to the UFC 137: "Penn vs. Diaz" pay-per-view event that took place on Oct. 29, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
