Holdsworth, Mir, Couture, and Tuff-N-Uff Give Back to Vegas Community

It's not everyday that MMA gets promoted in a positive light. The sport has been mired in negative publicity and good old fashioned ignorant politics since its inception.

Anyone who has been paying attention remembers the human cock fighting tag, or Quinton Jackson's reckless driving tantrum. Take your pick of Dana White's vulgarity laden tirades, or most recently a former UFC Heavyweight Champion's debatable remarks about his dear friend Brock Lesnar.

Larry Mir, Cobra Kai Prospect Holdsworth Competing At Tuff-N-Uff 02/26

Las Vegas Nevada, aka Sin City, can be a very enticing place. With so much to offer locals and tourists from all over the world, it's hard to imagine a person not finding their place of zen somewhere on that strip.

For some it's entertainment, for others the night life, and for many it's just the euphoric atmosphere that comes along with all that is Vegas. While the sights and sounds are many, each person visits or stays there for his or her own unique reason.

The biggest… Continue

MMA Is Not A Crime, It's World Class

What do we mean when we say world class? What is the message that is conveyed by that term? Is it more a cliche or a description of the quality surrounding any particular topic described as such?

World class in reference to the sport of MMA really is as literal as it sounds. It is a type of competition that allows for any person to compete at the highest level of the sport, regardless of their nationality or beliefs.

The eclectic mosaic of competitors that compete in this… Continue

A Fight Fan's Prayer: WW Champs Collide, Diaz vs. St. Pierre

For a sport riddled with uncertainty, with no odds that can determine outcomes indefinitely, many questions are posed.
