It was March 3rd, 2011, when David Branch lost to Rousimar Palhares via 2nd round submission, and was subsequently cut from the UFC after going 2-2 in the promotion. Like many “UFC Vets” Branch had the goal of returning to the UFC one day, and began battling his way back to the eight sided cage. […]

A six fight win streak with a throwback style full of nostalgia for every self professed ‘Old School’ or ‘Hardcore’ Fan to a similarly weighed Brazilian who made grown men look like mere children on the ground. Demian Maia (24-6, 18-6 in the UFC) very much seems like a fighter lost in history with his […]

Parlay Leg 1 Joanna Jedrzejczyk defends her Strawweight Title against Jessica Andrade in the UFC 211 Co-Main Event. Andrade received the title shot after finishes and one sided fights from the moment she dropped from Women’s Bantamweight 20lbs to Strawweight.

Luke Sanders Wins via Decision (+200) This lightweight contest should go to the scorecards, more often than not, and in that case, I have to lean with Sanders. He’s a very talented fighter, and I truly believe he’ll look to outpoint Alcantara on the feet, and mix in some takedowns. At +200, this is a […]

Alistair Overeem (-130) I like Overeem in this fight against Mark Hunt, and i think he’ll win by a somewhat comfortable decision, or maybe even a late stoppage. Skill for skill, Overeem is the better overall fighter. He’s also more active, and believe or not, he’s the smarter fighter. I see Overeem staying on the […]

In Hidalgo, Texas; Dustin Poirer takes on Michael Johnson in the main event. The build up to this fight proves one thing, we have very short memories. It wasn’t so long ago Dustin was a fighter with a bad chin who’s destined to stay middle of the road. Now he’s a surging lightweight looking to break into […]
