Dave Doyle and Mike Chiappetta debate what Anthony Pettis should do after his unfortunate injury, whether more free agents should follow Roy Nelson's lead, Bellator's "Fight Master" series, and the best of 2013 so far.
Despite a narrow window of creative room, Spike TV and Bellator are betting there's enough for one more addition to the reality fight show genre. Randy Couture and Greg Jackson explain why Fight Master is different and why it will connect with fans.
Fight Master aired tonight (Weds., June 19, 2013) at 10 p.m. ET immediately following the conclusion of the Bellator 96 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on Spike TV. Get full results and recap in our live discussion thread right here

Until this week, every fighter chosen for the UFC Hall of Fame was both a major champion, and dominant force in their eras. But after July, with the induction of Stephan Bonnar, that can never be said again.
Since Strikeforce was shut down earlier this year, a total of thirty fights featuring 'forced crossover' Strikeforce fighters have taken place. How have they done so far?
The cast of the new MMA reality show from Bellator & Spike has been announced. While it consists mostly of young prospects and journeymen, it contains a couple surprising names as well.

Now that Jon Jones has tied Tito Ortiz's record for light heavyweight title defenses, we take a closer look at their careers, how they are similar, and their impacts on the sport.
UFC lightweight contender Nate Diaz did something of a tell-all interview about his UFC on FOX 7 bout with Josh Thomson. Diaz insisted Thomson makes feminine sounds when he fights among other wild claims.
Spike TV President Kevin Kay looks back on Bellator's first season on Spike and is pleased with much of the results. Yet the television executive acknowledges there's more work to be done by both parties to push the partnership where it needs to be.
Phil Baroni is back with more interesting, and even controversial, thoughts on various topics such as Scott Coker, disdain for Frank Shamrock, & his upcoming ONE FC bout in Manila, the same city where he had the best fight week of his life.
One of the UFC's earliest stars, Mark Coleman looks back with some regret on the mistakes he made, but he also had a lot of major wins to look back on.

Gegard Mousasi would make his Hexagon debut in a light heavyweight title fight against Renato Sobral in the co-main event of Strikeforce: "Carano vs. Cyborg" in late 2009. "The Dreamcatcher" only needed a minute to defeat "Babalu."
