CagePotato Tribute: The Failure to Intimidate: CagePotato
"Hoping to gain the mental edge, Tito channeled his inner high school bully and made a lunge toward Liddell. While such tactics work wonders on members of the glee club, the mere suggestion of physical contact hardy registers a blink from dudes who get punched in the face on the regular. The Iceman was sick of Tito’s tough guy routine and primed to dole out the beating he’d dodged for so many years. He’d leave Ortiz crumpled in the fetal position in just over one round the following evening. Undaunted by his failure to intimidate, Ortiz continued to employ the same psyche-out strategy throughout his career with mixed results. Mental giant Ken Shamrock took the bait with hilarious results, while Ryan Bader could barely muster up a grin in response."
A Miserable Day in Vegas With Michael Bisping: MMAFighting
"He's not a bad guy; even "Mayhem" Miller says so. He is, if anything, a man who gets carried away sometimes. That's true of his emotional outbursts before, during, and after fights, and it's true of his generosity to fans and friends. He's been known to blubber over devoted fans, offering to fly them around the world with him. He gave Jacko a job in a field he had no experience or qualifications in. He was as surprised as anyone when Jacko turned out to be quite good at it. Bisping just can't stop himself sometimes, and so he plunges forward ever faster. Sometimes it results in a win for the whole team. Sometimes the car ends up upside-down."
Michael Bisping says loss to Dan Henderson was the best thing to ever happen to him: FiveOuncesofPain
“Against Dan Henderson, that was the best thing that ever happened to me. I learned a lot from that fight and I realized a lot of the mistakes I was making."
The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale Preview: MMAConvert
"As TUF finales go, what’s in store for us on Saturday night isn’t half bad. A TUF winner-turned-reviled coach is taking on a happy-go-lucky former “Bully Beatdown” host, a quartet of promising bantamweights and featherweights are vying for the coveted brass ring of “The Ultimate Fighter” status (which guarantees them a few somewhat easy fights as they’re eased into the Octagon proper), a TUF winner from last season gets to take on someone who was once the uncrowned UFC lightweight champ, and the baddest dude with green hair you’ll ever know gets another crack at glory."

MMAmania interview exclusive with Ultimate Fighter 14 finalist Dennis Bermudez: MMAMania
"Well I wrestled in college and a lot of times, guys were technically better than me but I never gave up. I would let my conditioning win me wrestling matches. Even though I was down and out, in my head I'm never down and out. When I used to play football, there'd be games where we were getting smoked like 45-7 but I would play as hard as I could until the last play even though there's no way to come back, I was still trying to make the big hit or make something happen. I'm never out of a fight."
Jon Jones admits he’s an Anderson Silva groupie: MiddleEasy
"There are very few things that exist on this earth that are worse than being ground and pounded by Jon Bones Jones and one of those things is to wake-up one morning only to discover that you drunkenly signed a contract to fight Anderson Silva. There would be absolutely no preparation nor training, you would just be thrown in a cage with the greatest fight on the planet—and hundreds of thousands of people would be watching your demise. If this same scenario happened to Bones Jones, he would most likely give Anderson a hug and ask for his autograph prior to fighting "The Spider." We caught up with Jon Jones this week to get his take on Anderson Silva, and here's what he said."
Anderson Silva: Nothing to say about Chael Sonnen: LowKick

Would a confidential drug testing program help out UFC fighters?: FightOpinion
"If an active fighter with UFC drops dead because of drug abuse, this is going to hurt them in the court of public opinion, with politicians they’ve been trying to curry favor with, and also with potential business partners/sponsors. The problem is that if leagues like the NFL, NHL, and WWE can’t figure out how to get a handle on painkiller usage, how can we expect the UFC to do any better?"
