MMA has heard some bad news in the past couple weeks and here comes some more.  Quite possibly MMA’s greatest fighter of all times, Anderson “The Spider” Silva, is already talking retirement.  In a recent quote, Silva said “I’ll retire next year, I already gave my all. I don’t need to prove anything for anyone and within one year I’ll put my gloves aside.” This is a huge bummer for the MMA world.  As a spectacular Muay-Thai and BJJ fighter, Anderson Silva has beaten some of the greatest fighters in today’s MMA including, James Irvin, Dan Henderson, Rich Franklin, Nate…

Fedor Mania is sweeping the globe. Why is Fedor Emelianenko such draw for today’s MMA fans? It’s because few fighters can take the punishment from opponents, maintain a never say die attitude and prevail with the type of strength and skill that Fedor delivers. He is almost impossible to hurt and seems to find a way to win every time. To display what I am talking about, check out this Fedor Emelianenko Highlight Video. What a tremendous competitor!

In a room full of expensive weight training equipment, the legendary Randy Couture chooses a simple barbell, with 25 lbs on each side, for his workout.

If you are a fighyer, or want to be a fighter, I suggest you take notes. In case you don’t already know, Randy Couture knows what it takes to be a legendary MMA world…

MMA is on its way to the top. Like football players, baseball players and Nascar drivers, MMA fighters are now endorsing products and dong commercials for some of the largest most successful mainstream companies in the world. Many have denied and still deny that MMA will ever be as large as the “All American” sports your grandfather grew up loving because of its raw nature and brutal showings. However it is becoming more and more obvious that MMA is loved by the world and has the capability to be just as popular or even more popular as all the other…

Wow, this is ridiculous news. KJ Noons, current…. well I guess former Elite XC Lightweight Title holder, refuses to fight Nick Diaz, a top contender from Stockton, CA and is stripped of his title. Apparently there has been some bad blood between Diaz and Noons in the past, but isn’t that even more of a reason to step in the ring together and squash it like men? It’s a true disappointment when a belt holder is not willing to take on all challengers. If you are going to wear the belt that says you are the best, then you’d better…

Striving for beautiful figure we spend a lot of time in the gym, go to aerobics classes or play tennis, but the next morning can hardly get out of the bed because of myalgia. Literally every inch of the body hurts. It is painful to walk, to sit down, even to hold a cup of tea. How can we win against the negative consequences of physical exercises? Active Warm-up Do not neglect the rule of doing some warm-up before going for the major exercises. The body needs some warm-up before any type of training. The warm-up should include running and…

I have to say I really enjoyed watching the 23 year old 209 phenomenon Nick Diaz take on Josh Neer. This was a great battle and a very close match. There was some good striking, some great judo throws and some amazing back and forth jiu-jitsu. This is what MMA is all about people. A battle of skill and will. Nate Diaz emerged from the match victorious from a split decision and gave props to Josh Neer as a very worth opponent. I was also really enjoyed the Alan Belcher V.S. Ed Herman fight. This fight was also very evenly…

Tonight, September 17th, from Omaha Nebraska it will go down as UFC Fight Night 15 takes place.

With a winning attitude and a similar work ethic to his brother Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz is a World Extreme Fighter…
