This is Captain Obvious speaking. The UFC needs to ban alcohol consumption prior to and during post fight press conferences.

Luke Rockhold wasn't upset at the UFC 199 post-fight press conference just because he lost. The former UFC middleweight champion said on social media Tuesday that he was miffed by Michael Bisping's actions in the Octagon after the bout concluded.

Legendary street fighter and YouTube sensation turned mixed martial arts (MMA) phenomenon Kimbo Slice passed away at the age of 42 on Monday night. But really, who was he? A pop culture sensation? A family man? In this video, we try to answer that question.

One of the saddest aspects of one of the weirdest and most newsworthy weekends in UFC history is that Michael Bisping, a fighter who seemed destined to never even get a championship match, ended up reminding Luke Rockhold, and everyone who follows MMA, of a valuable lesson.

Hello fight fans, i just want to say something small about the ban.

I think fight fans should remember this victory, yes i said victory. This just shows that if and when we stand together we can make change. I dont know how many people iv seen trying to discourage people from using the FreeHelwani hashtag. Them people should be ashamed. It makes me sick that people would try and derail the FreeHelwani movement. The people who think Helwani is not worth fighting for are the people who dont follow the sport that much...

It's the rivalry rematch that just can't come together.

Josh Koscheck is injured and out of his fight with Paul Daley at Bellator 158 on July 16 in London, MMA Fighting confirmed with Bellator officials Monday. Daley will now face former Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima instead. ESPN was the first to report the news.

Koscheck and Daley were supposed to fight on the same card in January in Koscheck's adopted hometown of Fresno, Calif., to set up a future bout. Koscheck... Читать дальше...

The UFC has announced a pair of new match-up for its return to Germany on Sept. 3, and Emil Meek is one of the names added to the card. Meek is scheduled to make his UFC debut against fellow UFC newcomer Jessin Ayari. Also in the welterweight division, Peter Sobotta takes on Nicolas Dalby.

The saddest thing about all this is there are no surprises here. Let me start by saying that I am a massive UFC fan and have been extolling the virtues of the UFC for more than a decade, since UFC 35 or thereabouts. I am a UFC fan before I am an MMA fan. I think Zuffa have single handedly created the behemoth that the UFC now is & it has been a truly remarkable meteoric rise. They will deserve their multi billions when they eventually sell. Now to the nitty gritty. Zuffa have achieved this by being control freaks... Читать дальше...

UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt plans to knock Lesnar's face off at UFC 200 and send him back to the WWE.

After a conversation with UFC officials Monday night, a credential ban on reporter Ariel Helwani, photo journalist Esther Lin and video journalist E. Casey Leydon has been lifted.

MMAFighting.com is appreciative of the fact that the UFC was willing to rethink its stance, however, we respectfully disagree with the UFC's claim that "recurring tactics used by [Ariel Helwani] extended beyond the purpose of journalism."

Kimbo Slice, one of the most recognizable faces in the history of MMA, died Monday at the age of 42.

It's been a rough night because of Kimbo passing. But, Ariel got his credentials back. I'm glad the UFC backed off because of all the coverage this story was getting. I just wish they didn't do something so stupid in the first place. Nice to see that the people actually won against them this time. Good job by the fans and media members for making this an issue that the UFC had to mend asap.

The martial arts community lost one of its own on Monday. Kimbo Slice, the legendary street brawler responsible for several of the most-watched moments in MMA history, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 42.

Kimbo Slice, one of the most popular figures in the history of mixed martial arts, died Monday at the age of 42 years old. The cause of death is not yet known.

Kimbo Slice, a man who went from backyard fighting sensation to MMA ratings king, died Monday at the age of 42, sources confirmed with MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani. The cause of death was unclear.

A battle between top-ranked UFC strawweight contenders Rose Namajunas and Karolina Kowalkiewicz is the latest addition to the fight card of UFC 201. The UFC confirmed the match-up on Monday following an initial report by ESPN.

Like it or not, Michael Bisping is your new UFC middleweight champion after knocking out Luke Rockhold at UFC 199? Yet, he did it on short notice against an opponent who had already defeated him. How'd he do it and what was different this time? We take a look at the tape plus breakdown the rest of the fight card.

Please tell me this isn't true. If true, this is lower than I thought possible. This kind of stuff still happens these days? I know that Zuffa is a scumbag, slimeball, wanna-be gangster orgnaization but I thought this kind of stuff couldn't happen anymore with cell phones/social media exposure leading to ease of lawsuit.

Hector Lombard is going to be out of action for a while.

The UFC middleweight was knocked out by Dan Henderson at UFC 199 on Saturday in Los Angeles. The KO was severe enough that California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) doctors suspended Lombard medically for six months without exception, according to a document released to MMA Fighting on Monday via an open records request.

Typically, suspensions come with a caveat. A doctor can clear a fighter before the suspension is up. But not in the case. Читать дальше...

I just now, a second ago, finished my second listen-through of today's MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. The first time I listened to it (live) I was messing around with my iPad, writing e-mails, surfing the web and whatnot, so I didn't quite absorb every word like I wanted to. The second time, I listened to it as a captive audience and hung on every word he said.

i guarantee you , 1000 people tweeting this would make a far bigger impact than 10,000 people signing a petition.

Brock Lesnar never wanted to leave the UFC in the first place. But his health would not let him continue back in 2011.

There have been 11 title changes in the past 15 months, not including interim belts, which begs the only logical question, are people losing because they are wearing black shorts?
