Middle of the Pack: What’s at stake in Bisping vs. Stann at UFC 152
Posted on 6 Sep 2012 by Erik Schmidt.
After Anderson Silva, the talent in the middleweight division is, for lack of a better word, middling.

UFC 137: Nick Diaz Removed From Main Event
Posted on 7 Sep 2011 by Jason Comack.
Nick Diaz has always been a little bit of a loose cannon. He loathes media appearances, he says things that are often incoherent and there was that one time he started a brawl in Strikeforce. When the UFC signed Nick Diaz they know the inherent risks that came with signing him. That one day he may just go off the deep end. Today was that day. If Major League Baseball has “Manny bein...
