UFC Releases Official Statement Regarding Rousimar Palhares? Firing

It appears the Ultimate Fighting Championship is just like baseball – three strikes and you’re out (in most cases). Unlike some fighters who are granted a reprieve with the UFC after three consecutive losses, Rousimar Palhares (pictured) was promptly punted from the promotion after his third offense against the UFC Fighter Code of Conduct. UFC [...]

UFC Fight Night 29 Was Very Upsetting

“UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. Shields” didn’t garner much hoopla on Wednesday night, but it wasn’t because the show didn’t offer its fair share of surprises. In fact, half of the results were downright upsetting. No, I’m not referring to Jake Shields going into hostile territory to take a controversial split decision win over Demian [...]

Urijah Faber wants to know about that time you got into a fight

Urijah Faber would like to know about that time you got into a fight because that guy looked at you funny at the bar. Or maybe you were at a wedding, and the best man's girlfriend was talking smack about the bride. Though Faber, who beat Yuri Alcantara over the weekend, does not want people to go out looking for fights, he knows that they happen. When they do, he wants you to share them for a web comic with Fox Sports.

The first installment has very not safe for work language, but still ends up as pretty hilarious. A black belt in knitting adds to the overall effect.

A Win Is Not a Win for Jake Shields

“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the ONLY thing.” You can walk into any locker room across the globe and you’ll hear a coach preaching that mantra to his players. Athletes are saying it to each other before taking the field. Mixed martial arts, however, is starting to make its own twist to the old adage – [...]

Five questions that will be answered by the UFC?s first fight on Fox Sports 1

The UFC will make its debut on Fox Sports 1 on Saturday with a really fun card. What will we learn from these fights? Read on.

Does Chael Sonnen have any business fighting at light heavyweight? Though all of his previous UFC fights were at middleweight, Sonnen talked his way into a title shot at light heavyweight. After losing to Jon Jones, he's trying another bout at 205 lbs. with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. He can show if he belongs fighting at this weight or if he should go back down to middleweight.

Has Alistair Overeem recovered from being knocked out by Antonio Silva? When "Big Foot" knocked out Overeem in February, it was the first time he had suffered a knockout since 2007. Returning from a shocking loss like that is no small feat. He can show if he's resilient in a bout with Travis Browne.

Does Matt Brown deserve a title shot? He's been under the radar, but he is on a five-fight winning streak, with the last three wins coming by second round knockouts. With an impressive win over Mike Pyle, he could get the next welterweight title shot.

Can Conor McGregor live up to the hype? For a guy with one UFC win, McGregor has generated an awful lot of buzz. He will get a chance to show what he's capable of against Max Holloway, who is coming off of a loss to Dennis Bermudez.

Is Uriah Hall just a TUF star? Everyone was blown away with the raw power Hall showed during "The Ultimate Fighter," but he fizzled at the TUF finale and lost to Kelvin Gastelum. Against John Howard, Hall can show if he's just a TUF flash in the pan or a real prospect.

The UFC kicks off a busy, two-event fight week with a look back at their last big event. Check out Dana White's video blog to see behind the scenes from Ultimate Fight Night 26 in Boston. Watch out for:

-- A before and after of Joe Lauzon's face when he fought Michael Johnson.

-- Brad Pickett and McGregor talking, probably about the Royal Baby. OK, probably not.

Rehabbing Cat Zingano watched TUF 18 debut with mixed emotions

The 18th season of the UFC's reality series, "The Ultimate Fighter," debuted on Fox Sports 1 with one very interested, though disappointed, viewer.

Women's bantamweight contender Cat Zingano should have been watching herself. But because she injured a knee during training on May 16, she was forced to pull out of the show, which began filming on May 28, and was replaced by Miesha Tate.

Zingano had stopped Tate in the third round of their April 13 fight in Las Vegas to earn the coaching slot, and the title shot that goes with it, opposite UFC champion Ronda Rousey. But then the injury, which required surgery, forced her to step aside.

That was all a part of Episode 1 on Wednesday, and Zingano watched with a heavy heart.

"I watched some of the girl fights, as well as some of the guy fights, that I had a feeling would make it onto the show, and I was interested in seeing how well they did and how I would have coached them," Zingano told Cagewriter. "I wasn't planning to go onto the show looking to change anyone or to tell them, 'Look, this isn't good; change this about yourself.' I really wanted to see what their strengths were and help them to build on them and sharpen them.

"And watching, that realization hit me that I won't get the chance to give that to them. I was really excited to see what I could do to help these fighters and it kind of came over me as I was watching what I had lost [by getting injured]. Now, they're going to get that from the alternate."

The alternate, of course, is Tate. And like Rousey, Zingano is no fan of either Tate or Tate's boyfriend, UFC featherweight Bryan Caraway.

There was no beef between Zingano and Tate until after their bout, when Tate complained about referee Kim Winslow's stoppage. Tate, Zingano said, didn't want to seem to let it go.

That irritated Zingano to no end.

"She is so ungrateful," Zingano said. " ... She was such a poor sport. I read that article where she said Kim Winslow ruined her life. Ruined her life? Was she serious? She got a brand new Range Rover [for coaching TUF]. She got to coach the team I was supposed to coach. She made it into ESPN the Magazine. And she says Winslow ruined her life? That's pretty bad."

Tate did an interview on the SiriusXM "Fight Club" in which she blasted Winslow's decision to stop their fight. Tate said she was fine and could easily have continued.

She was like a yippy Chihuahua the whole time that I was on the bottom. ?Miesha, you gotta do something. You gotta move.' I'm like, ?Why? She's not doing anything to me, she's in my half-guard. Nobody finishes fights in half-guard.' But the referee, I thought she was going to stop it. She was over-coaching, over-refereeing.

It's something that is very frustrating when you have other people who have never fought a day in their life, like Kim. She doesn't do anything. I don't think she deserves to be a referee. And if she is, she should go to the amateur levels where it doesn't matter as much, and there's not as much on the line, because she's literally ruining people's lives.

Zingano said the season would have been different had she coached against Rousey rather than Tate. Rousey has an intense dislike for both Tate and Caraway -- "Ronda hates Miesha way more than Miesha hates her," UFC president Dana White said -- and that has colored how she coached.

Rousey has said numerous times she had nothing against Zingano. But Zingano said she wouldn't let a feud fester.

"Ronda has a disrespect for Miesha that goes much deeper than just athletes competing against each other," Zingano said. "Me on the other hand, I don't take criticism, I don't take [expletive] from people. I don't sit back and allow someone to talk crap to me and take little jabs at me.

"It would have been squashed pretty quickly if Ronda was trying to do something like that. I'm ... not going to allow someone to walk on me and I think we would have solved that fairly quickly."

Her rehabilitation, though, is different. She said it will take a while before she's healthy, and hopes to fight somewhere in the February to April time frame. She's just begun training but said she's frustrated that she is unable to go 100 percent the way she likes.
