UFC on Fox 7 will air on free network television from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., Saturday night. In the main event, UFC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson will defend his title against the debuting #1 contender Gilbert Melendez, who was the final Strikeforce lightweight champion.
Winnipeg, hello. For the first time, UFC announced Tuesday, it will roll into the Canadian province of Manitoba, bringing all the makings of a quality card. On Wednesday ESPN.com reported that interim UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao will fight tough Eddie Wineland in the main event.
I'm not going to defend Matt Riddle, who seems intent on messing up a good thing after being popped a second time for pot in three fights. The massive welterweight will likely lose another hard-earned win to marijuana, meaning rather than riding a four-fight win streak and a record of 9-3 into the upper echelon of the division, the 27-year-old is 7-3 (2 NC) and a free agent after having his contract terminated by the UFC.
LAS VEGAS -- Prior to the inaugural flyweight championship bout at UFC 152 in Toronto in September 2012, Joseph Benavidez obviously envisioned himself winning -- but his imagination didn’t stop there.
CHICAGO -- Winning a UFC title is every fighter’s goal. For the few who are able to accomplish this feat, the celebration doesn’t truly begin until they make their first successful title defense.
The fight plan is finalized, and if John Dodson executes it to the fullest Saturday night, he'll take another step toward silencing his doubters by becoming the UFC flyweight champion. Dodson takes on titleholder Demetrious Johnson at the United Center in Chicago.
The flyweights are either the most exhilarating electrons to ever blur our field of vision, or something of a fight game hoax. Which is it? For those of you who think 125-pound grown men fighting is boring or anticlimactic, Dana White thinks you’re a “moron.
TORONTO -- If confidence should determine the outcome of Saturday night’s UFC flyweight title bout, then Joseph Benavidez has already won. The former top bantamweight contender didn’t skip a beat Wednesday when revealing the reason he'll defeat Demetrious Johnson at UFC 152.
Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson are so very similar that it just makes sense they'll meet this Saturday at UFC 152 in Toronto for the opportunity to become the organization's first flyweight champion.
The UFC will crown its first flyweight champion this week at UFC 152, making now the perfect time to rank who's who at 125. Top-ranked Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson likely need no introduction by now, as they're set for the UFC 152 co-main event on Saturday in Toronto, but the rest of the names on this list might.
