The World Champion you’ve never heard of – Alexandra Toncheva.

Posted on June 11, 2019June 25, 2019 by MMA Insider

UFC 238: UFC salaries in ESPN era vs Fox Sports Era.

Posted on June 9, 2019June 12, 2019 by MMA Insider

Dana White appeared at last night’s post UFC 238 press conference in Chicago looking pretty pleased with himself. Good event and good fights.

Posted on June 8, 2019June 8, 2019 by MMA Insider

Donald Cerrone and Tony Ferguson face off tonight in a 3 round contest at UFC 238. Many UFC fight fans are quietly grumbling that this is not a 5 round fight.

Wimp 2 Warrior: Natasha the girl who wouldn’t cry Wolfe

Posted on May 18, 2019July 29, 2019 by MMA Insider

I seem to spend a good portion of my time asking amateur martial artists to speak about dark, difficult subjects. Often deeply personal issues. It is hard to admit you can’t cope. It is hard to admit you can’t trust your own thoughts. It’s hard for loved one to watch this. It’s probably difficult for…

Posted on May 16, 2019May 16, 2019 by MMA Insider

A curious footnote to the Bellator Birmingham event in the UK on May 4th last crossed my path this evening.

Mr Neto tested positive for the metabolites of steroids methyltestosterone and nandrolone. Thankfully his…

Posted on May 15, 2019May 15, 2019 by MMA Insider

This has been my second time to interview Bellator featherweight Leah McCourt and the same thought popped into my head at the end of both conversations. ” You need to start getting more out of your life amigo” was the PG version of the ramblings of my mind. Out of all the winners from the…

We compare UFC 237 salaries with Bellator salaries and notice a few things….

Posted on May 12, 2019December 29, 2019 by MMA Insider

I thought it would be interesting to do a comparison between UFC and Bellator salaries and see if we can learn anything from the stats.
