According to reports, the initial UFC® fight on FOX Sports® garnered a whopping 4.6 million people. Think that’s a lot? Maybe not – as that’s almost 2 million people LESS than what CBS garnered for the Kimbo Slice vs James Thomspon fight with their live broadcast: 6.5 million. So what’s the reason for such a [...]

I don’t know about you, but I always look forward to hearing more from Nick Diaz, especially when he’s not in the ring, ’cause he never wants to answer Rogan’s questions. It also gives one pause: stoned or not stoned? Might be what the difference is here from how he is during his normal interviews, [...]

Filed under: UFCI don’t know if it was the tape-delay or the lack of big names on the card, but UFC 138 hardly felt like a genuine numbered event by the time it hit Spike TV on Saturday night.

It was more like a really good Fight Night event, complet…

When we mentioned earlier that Mark Munoz had perhaps jumped the gun when he called out Anderson Silva in his post-fight interview, we had no idea how much the execs at Spike TV agreed with us. Turns out, most of you probably never even knew this had happened, because despite the amount of time Spike had to compose the event following it’s actual occurrence, Munoz’s call out of “The Spider” was cut off before we even had the time to process how ridiculous it was. Perhaps this is one of the many reasons that Dana White & Co. are no longer putting up with Spike TV’s bullshit.

But where the geniuses behind such programs as Manswers, 1000 Ways to Die, and Blue Mountain State *shudder* failed, ZombieProphet and our buddies over at IronForgesIron succeeded.

In the above video, Munoz states that “I’ve paid my dues in this weight class” and that “I consider [Anderson] a friend, but right now I’d love to get a title shot.” Apparently Munoz believes that if threatening the champ’s wife with sexual harassment and calling him a coward doesn’t work, then maybe a little ass kissing will. And at this point, it’s hard telling what you have to do to get a fight with A. Silva.

So what do you guys think? Is Munoz drinking the wrong Kool-Aid or does he have a point here?

Speaking of Munoz, join us after the jump to see how Leben congratulated “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” on his victory:

Demetrius Andrade Is Following A Plan

Undefeated 2008 U.S. Olympian Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade believes his February 10 main-event fight against former USBA junior middleweight champion Derek “Pooh” Ennis, for the vacant North American Boxing Organization (“NABO”) junior middleweight title, is a continuation of a well designed plan, eventually landing him a world title fight later this year or in early 2013.   With [...]

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez

Put your Money on Mayweather vs. Alvarez for Cinco de Mayo

It has become clear as day that negotiations for the much anticipated superfight between WBO Welterweight champion and Ring magazine’s #1 pound for pound boxer Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2 with 38 KO’s) and WBC Welterweight champion and Ring magazine’s #2 pound for pound boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0 with 26 KO’s) have once again fallen apart.

Women’s Boxing — will it ever Catch On?

I can recall that many UFC fans told me ten years ago that it would be run so much more smoothly than boxing. Having one promoter and a numbered amount of regulated fight cards, it would even feature fewer divisions, and talent would be built up locally, then regionally, and nationally… rather than based on fame and [...]

Hopkins May Not Be Ready To Pass The Torch Yet, But Will Dawson Rip It Out Of His Hands?

It’s really hard to not be impressed with the forty seven year old WBC Light Heavyweight Champion Bernard Hopkins. They say records are made to be broken, but Hopkins’ record of being the oldest champion in boxing history will be very hard to break, and it looks like it will be secure for years to [...]
