My overall MMA prediction record stands at 130-75 (63.4%) and 16-5 (76.2%) in main events. I felt that after having a fairly successful night at UFC 107, where I went 10-1 (90.9%), I should get one more card in for 2009. Of course, that meant choosing between WEC 45 and Strikeforce: Evolution, both of which […]

Former longtime UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes (43-7) has made good on his promise to fight exclusively in interesting matches, agreeing to a match with BJJ legend Renzo Gracie (13-6-1) at UFC 112 (April 10th, 2010). The fight will take place in the opulent, futuristic city of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. There […]

MMA remains unsanctioned in Vancouver and Victoria, but that hasn’t stopped a growing number of B.C. fighters from competing. This Saturday’s King Of The Cage: Catalyst (Nov. 28th), scheduled for Vernon’s Westbild Centre, provides these determined professional and amateur athletes with an opportunity to shine. In fact, in most cases, both fighters in any given […]

Citizens of Vernon have another great reason to arrive on time for King Of The Cage: Catalyst this Saturday– his name is Tyson Veitch.  Veitch is a local high school student and he will be appearing in his second amateur fight at the top of the under card. Competing in such an established and respected […]

After going 3-1 with my predictions for last week’s Strikeforce card, including correctly picking Fedor Emelianenko to finish Brett Rogers, my overall MMA prediction record now stands at 109-60 (64.5%) and 13-4 (76.5%) in main events. Anyone interested in a complete record of my prediction history can email a request anytime to bcmmafan@gmail.com. Not that […]
