Bloody Elbow (www.bloodyelbow.com) has great Randy Couture news, photos, videos and more
The over the top "are you up the challenge, recruit?" tough guy shtick from Couture (likely included because Sports Illustrated asked for it) is wholly unnecessary, but the one-arm Australian pull-ups Randy does alone make the video worth watching.

Awesome cameo by Norifumi Yamamoto.
I'm eager to see a "new" Vitor -- a fighter who can sprawl and evade takedowns, a fighter with a strong enough guard to not just survive but be a threat off his back, and most of all a fighter with the heart to go into the championship rounds hurt and still be a formidable offensive force.
Fedor Emelianenko, the greatest mixed martial artist to ever live, is set to fight tomorrow night once again. I've had a good time today just going back and rewatching a number of his old fights just to see what makes him so great. I fully expect him to win tomorrow night in dominant fashion,...

Dana White's UFC 93 Vlog: Episode 3 - 1/13/09
By Joanne of MMAGirls. Check out Mark Coleman, Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson after the jump.
Steroids in the sport, we go one step beyond in the Wolfslair. Pre-fight, our guys, we in-house test. Not for the fact that we think they're using or whatever, just for our own reputation with the UFC. We never want to get tarred with that brush. So we do a lot of in-house testing on ourselves. Out th...

IMO Randy losing to Brock gives us the best chance of seeing Fedor in the UFC. As is ,i know there is next to ZERO chance that Dana ever lets the :"Krazy Russians" compete, but the only way there is even a remote chance is if Fedor signs a minimum three fight deal. Like wise, Fedor's motivation can...

I don’t think it would be shocking for us to hear that CBS has also been in talks with various other promotions in the last few weeks, the UFC and Strikeforce included. Whoever lands the CBS deal, and I do believe it will be one of these three, will have a substantial leg up in acquiring or increa...

Big John on the origins of the UFC, spreading modern day MMA, promoting legality of MMA in New York and other states, and his thoughts on Couture vs. Lesnar (Pre.UFC 91)
I don’t see how anybody can think Fedor is the best “pound-for-pound”—heavyweight, maybe, but not pound-for-pound. The dude weighs a ton, and his skill is nowhere near the level of Anderson Silva. Dropkick101 takes issue with my ruling out Fedor:
MMAJunkie gets the answers to the questions we've all been asking - namely, why the hell Greg Jackson's guys have been pinching their nipples before fights and why Rashad Evans was sporting a t-shirt with nothing but Bill Gates' mugshot during his entrance at UFC 88.
