UFC Fight Night Head-to-Head Preview Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

CBS Sportsline’s Head-to-Head Preview is now available for those of you looking for previews and predictions of tonight’s UFC Fight Night event on Spike TV.  If you scroll down on the page you’ll see the rankings for all the CBS MMA writers, and guess who’s still holding on to a slim first-place lead?  I’ll give […]

Roy Nelson Punches Me in the Face Monday, March 17th, 2008

It seemed like a good idea at the time.  During our pre-fight interviews before the IFL’s show in Las Vegas, we asked some fighters to demonstrate their favorite moves.  After a brief discussion, it was decided that I would the demonstration dummy for these.  It made for an interesting day, especially when Matt Horwich put […]

IFL Recap, UFC 82 Liveblogging Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

I’m finally home from Las Vegas and ready to gear up for UFC 82.  My flight was actually on time, and I sat behind comedian Dave Attell, who spent the five hours trying to be nice to two nosy old women who refused to let him watch his mini-Jet Blue television in peace.  Just witnessing […]

“Sometimes You Have to Hit People” Friday, February 29th, 2008

My first IFL diary is now online at Cage Potato, featuring some behind-the-scenes commentary from Las Vegas.  Here’s an excerpt:
Covering the IFL for the past year and a half, here’s one lesson I’ve learned: during any interview with Matt Lindland, he’s going to get mad at me at least once. I can never tell what […]

Mayweather Revisited Thursday, January 10th, 2008

After recently ordering HBO solely to watch the new season of The Wire, I’ve finally gotten a chance to see the 24/7 documentary/hype series they did in advance of the Mayweather-Hatton fight. Though the fight itself seemed less than exciting, what with Mayweather throwing one punch at a time and then diving into the […]

What A Weekend For MMA Monday, December 31st, 2007

It’s been a long weekend in our sport, and I’m pretty exhausted.  After the IFL Grand Prix and UFC 79, it’s enough to make you wonder how we got to this point from the days of tiny shows in civic center arenas that went straight to VHS tapes.  How far we’ve come.  Anyway, it’s Monday […]

Blogging the IFL Grand Prix Finals Saturday, December 29th, 2007

It’s been a busy couple of days in lovely Groton, Connecticut.  Yesterday we spent about twelve hours interviewing fighters for web footage, and it was a journey, to say the least.
We started out with big dreams about the array of topics we’d get the fighters to talk about.  That lasted about ten minutes.  It’s harder […]
