The event featured a great [...]

The pay-per-view portion of UFC 109 will open with old dogs (Serra/Trigg) and close with older dogs (Couture/Coleman). Not surprisingly, the most interesting fights take place somewhere in between. It’s always a pleasure to see Nate Marquardt in action, and Miller vs Maia should be compelling, as well. And hey, at least it’s not UFC [...]

Ahhh, amateur MMA. God bless it. On January 23rd, for apparently the first time in the Lower Mainland, MMA went down in a cage. I kind of giggled when promoters made a big deal about the hexagon but it actually was kinda cool in the end. The amateurs were game and aggressive. Wendy Roy blew [...]
