Just under two years ago, Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic was riding high on a wave of euphoria. He had gained his first major MMA title by winning the Pride FC Open Weight Grand Prix and all he had to do was beat a bulked up Wanderlei Silva (who at that point still had the aura of an unstoppable wrecking machine, and was still Pride's 205lbs champion) and the ever dangerous and consistent Top 5

<!--google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore)-->One of the most famous quotes attributed to Alexander The Great, one of world history's most famous and successful military leaders, spoke of how after surveying the extent of his empire he wept at the prospect of having no more worlds to conquer. Alexander had done all this before the time of his death at just 32 years old.<!--google_ad_section_end-->

So apparently Matt Hughes was at UFC 87 this past Saturday in Minneapolis Minnesota, presumably as a VIP guest to watch the fights and interact with the fans.Anyway, Matt Hughes likes to keep a blog on his website and his comments on the main event between Georges St. Pierre Vs Jon Fitch for the Welterweight title caught my interest:"The last fight of the night was Georges and Fitch. Georges didn

This is something I like to do on a couple of messageboards. Obviously there's the usual disclaimer of 'Don't try this at home' (or school, or work, or on the bus ...)This is a cool little video from the MMA section of ESPN.com that they allow to be embedded.

Just reading the Sherdog MMA message-boards has been hilarious (and at times a headache) with regard to UFC attraction Brock Lesnar and his antics that began toward the end of the fight.For those that don't know, Brock Lesnar, a former WWE pro-wrestling household name with a legitimate NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight championship accolade in collegiate amateur wrestling, scored his first win in the
