A breakdown of the fights on the main card of UFC 169 Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.:
The easy marketing line for Saturday’s Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight bout between Frank Mir and Alistair Overeem is that the two stars are fighting for their jobs. If it were an old-school pro wrestling match, it would be dubbed “Loser leaves town.”
The Las Vegas doctor who operated on the broken leg of Anderson Silva said the former middleweight champion asked him a question just before surgery that will have Silva fans dreaming of a return to the cage: “When can I train?”
MILWAUKEE — Anthony Pettis claimed the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title in his hometown Saturday night, beating champion Benson Henderson by armbar submission in the first round at UFC 146.
Anyone who has seen an Ultimate Fighting Championship highlight reel probably has seen the clip in which one fighter plants his foot on the fence and uses it as a springboard to launch himself across the cage to land a kick on his opponent’s chin with the same foot.
Ultimate Fighting Championship, the Las Vegas-based combat sport juggernaut, has launched a bold TV initiative in Latin America and Mexico with a joint-venture deal with Televisa Networks to air UFC programming in 20 Spanish-speaking countries while also launching a subscription UFC TV channel.
