Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine News

A promotion comprised of tournaments kicked off its second season on Spike TV as Bellator 96 went down on national television Wednesday night.

Although Hector Lombard 's UFC career hasn't exactly gotten off to the start he probably hoped it would, it appears that the former Bellator middleweight kingpin will join the likes of Brian Stann and Tim Boetsch when he attempts to drop a weight class to save his career .

While knockouts generally get most of the proverbial ink in the UFC, there is something to be said for a truly great submission.

The future is bright for the UFC. In the past, it has combined home-grown talent with outside stars and created one of the most prolific, showstopping spectacles in the Milky Way.

UFC 161 is becoming more distant by the day. If you look into the not-too-distant future, you'll see that UFC 162 is just over the horizon and getting closer by the second.

Yes, he's already royalty in the kingdom of nicknames. And sure, the mixed martial artist called "King Mo" did once wear a crown -- briefly -- in the Strikeforce light heavyweight division.

No. 2 ranked Sarah Kaufman will meet No. 4 ranked Sara McMann in a highly anticipated women's bantamweight scrap at UFC on Fox Sports 1 #2 in Indianapolis.

Evans did battle for 15 closely contested minutes. At the end of the bout, it was anyone's guess whose arm would be raised.

Evans picked up an important win over Dan Henderson at UFC 161 , avoiding a third consecutive loss in the process.

In rare cases like that of gargantuan former heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar , the hype surrounding fighters who made their UFC debut was merited.

Dan Henderson won't be competing for an UFC title at 205 pounds any time soon. Or likely any time at all.

UFC welterweight Jake Shields says he would like to fight someone ranked in the top-five of his weight class following a split decision victory over Tyron Woodley at UFC 161.

Let's be honest here: The only thing that was really exciting at UFC 161 this weekend was when it was all over.

Tyron Woodley lost his second career fight at UFC 161 , but thankfully for him, many fans will choose to forget the bout.

Rashad Evans still has his foot in the door at 205 pounds. The onetime Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight titleholder rebounded from the first two-fight losing streak of his career with a split decision over Dan Henderson in the UFC 161 headliner on Saturday at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Looking to rebound from back-to-back losses, Evans earned a much-needed win Saturday, edging Dan Henderson by split decision at UFC 161 inside MTS Centre.

His fight against Stipe Miocic would be the final fight on his contract. He and UFC President Dana White never really seemed to click.

What Josh Burkman accomplished Friday night submitting Jon Fitch 41 seconds into their World Series of Fighting 3 main event, was far better than what he planned.

The latest season of the series, pitting two teams against each other as they compete for the crown of The Ultimate Fighter, will feature team captains Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate, two of the breakout stars in the world of women's mixed martial arts.
