The past ten days have seen two marquee MMA matchups in both Strikeforce and UFC. Strikeforce featured Fedor Emelianenko vs Fabricio Werdum while UFC featured Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin.

Compared to the gigantic releases from EA (EA Sports MMA) and THQ (UFC Undisputed 2010), 505 Games’ entry into the MMA arena with Supremacy MMA is relatively small. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Supremacy will be drowned out by its massively sponsored and promoted brethren. I got a chance to preview all three games [...]

Lolohea Mahe gets ready to take on Lavar “Big” Johnson Andre Galvao stares down Luke Stewart You could probably go out to dinner with that special someone, maybe catch a movie (we hear The Bounty Hunter is just adorable) and maybe sip on some wine for a nightcap. Or you could leave work, induce a [...]

Man, oh Man. I spoke to the formidable Randy Couture the other day, and if one thing’s clear it’s that Randy didn’t become a five-time belt champion by conforming to everyone’s expectations. The fights he’s most proud of are the ones that everyone thought he would lose, and the thing that most excites him about [...]
