With Creed set to release on Thanksgiving, I started thinking of my favorite Rocky films. I mean, I feel like Rocky should be dead and buried by now, yet he continues to live on. Judging by the trailer for the film, Creed will not feature a fight with Rocky Balboa, but rather, Adonis Creed, son […]

However, there is more to the sport of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) than just fighting. Like any sport, it takes talent and mental toughness. On Friday, June […]
By Juan Ramos Michael Chandler (12-3) has always embraced competition. The former Bellator light heavyweight champion began his wrestling career at Northwest High School.

This fight has been seven years in the making. Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock will finally square off Friday, June 19 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis. “This is a fight that should have happened many years ago,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “I know that it’s a fight that’s been under everybody’s skin for […]
