The decision to rescind Pat Healy's $130,000 bonuses sparked controversy across the MMA community, but on Thursday UFC President Dana White vehemently defended the way in which the situation was handled.
Jon Jones eyes two more fights in 2013, WMMA pioneer Tara LaRosa accuses manager Brett Atchley of foul play, Bryan Caraway responds to recent allegations, plus the latest promo from NickTheFace.
Nate Diaz responds to "fag" Tweet that resulted in $20,000 fine and 90-day suspension through Mike Kogan, his manager, who questioned UFC's Code of Conduct and revealed that neither him nor Diaz feel remorse for the loss of social media translation.
Bryan Caraway responds to Cat Zingano elbow with statement, denies backstage incident at TUF 17 Finale weigh-in and clarifies remarks that may have been misinterpreted about marijuana following Pat Healy's positive UFC 159 drug test.
According to the manager of Nate Diaz, there's no need to apologize for his controversial tweet because it wasn't meant in the way people are taking it.
Nate Diaz's manager Mike Kogan said on Monday's MMA Hour that Nate Diaz never meant to offend or target the gay community, and so has no remorse for the word he used to criticize Bryan Caraway.
John Cholish retired from MMA over the weekend, but not before kicking the door down and criticizing the low wage scale the UFC demands of its fighters.
Former lightweight title contender Nate Diaz is out $20,000 and suspended for three months due to usage of a gay slur apparently directed at fellow fighter Bryan Caraway.
UFC lightweight Nate Diaz has been fined $20,000 and suspended 90 days by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) for his offensive Twitter message directed at Bryan Caraway on Thursday (May 16, 2013).
Bellator's Michelle Ould became the latest fighter to take a jab at Bryan Caraway on Thursday, but the UFC bantamweight denied her allegation. He also regrets his strong anti-marijuana stance.
T.J. Grant noticed the people who criticized the decision to give the winner of his match with Gray Maynard a title shot. The Canadian lightweight says he'll go out and change people's minds.
Nate Diaz was suspended by UFC for using a slur against homosexuals, but his manager, Mike Kogan, insists it wasn't meant in that context. Where they roll, in northern Cali, "fag" means "punk" or "bitch." Turns out it's just a big misunderstanding!
Mike Kogan uses the standard weak defense that Nate Diaz's use of "fag" to describe Bryan Caraway isn't homophobic because that's "not what it means" to him.
