We all know Fedor Emelianenko, he is arguably the number one heavyweight in the world and is the current WAMMA undisputed heavyweight champion. But aside from that, Fedor at all times seems to be emotionless. In all of his fights Fedor never shows fatigue, anger, or signs of being hurt. ...

It was very generous for the COO of WAMMA, Michael Lynch, to take his time and answer some questions about his organization.  Overall, I found the interview to very intriguing and it did indeed answer a couple of the questions that everyone has about WAMMA in general.  Consider this to be my ...

Kevin Iole first broke this yesterday and Mat talked about it earlier but I'm so excited I had to post since I have to wait until October to see the fight.  Fedor Emelianenko will face Andrei Arlovski in Affliction's next show in Vegas on October 11th.  This wouldn't have been nearly as good ...

Heard a great interview from Couture today. We all remember the great exchange at the end of the Affliction Banned Fights where both fighters agreed they wanted eachother.

As I try to calm down from the greatest night in MMA History it is clear how far we have come. Could anyone have predicted that all of our wishes would have come true? From the Free to Paid Fights we saw it all. If you chose to only watch one, you made a HUGE mistake. Correct it Now by Reading Mat's Blog and watching the videos. The fights were amazing, and we still have Dream 5 where we should see some amazing lightweight clashes. Unlike events and cards of recent, most of the fights ended in the Ring/Cage NOT by a Judge Decision.

As Tim Sylvia gears up for the biggest fight of his life, he took the opportunity to sit down with Mark Chalifoux of the Baltimore Sun. In the Q&A he made some really interesting comments including: MMA Stomping Grounds: Can Affliction compete with the UFC? Sylvia: I don’t think Affliction is even considering competing with the UFC. They are just looking to put on quality shows, pay the fighters well and have a good time doing it because they can. MMA Stomping Grounds: Do you have friends in the UFC who are coming to you with complaints now that you’re currently out of the organization? Sylvia: I was with the UFC for five years. I have a lot of friends in the UFC, eh, you know what, no comment. I eventually want to fight back there some day and I left on good terms. MMA Stomping Grounds: What appealed to you about Affliction? Sylvia:They are friends of mine, they had six of the top 10 heavyweights in the world, and with me they have seven. That’s the best place for me to be to fight all the best fighters out there, so I have to be there.
