I admit it, fans and friends… I was a fan of Elite XC. Don’t judge me, it was a different time. For all their many, many flaws, Elite XC put together some very interesting cards and some very big fights, and they put live events on national television. Of course, the promotion would burn up almost as quickly as it became a major player in the global MMA scene. But recently, it appears that ProElite, the parent company of Elite XC, will be completing their revival with a live event scheduled for Hawaii and headlined by former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski. Here are all the details. ...

The ufc is the largest, most diverse Mixed Martial Arts promotion in the world. They’re the unquestioned leader in MMA, to the point where some mainstream fans consider MMA a one-promotion sport. But with that level of prestige comes a high benchmark, and the UFC has proven now more than ever that no contract is safe. Recently, it was announced that the UFC decided to release both Chuck O’Neil and longtime Middleweight journeyman Kendall Grove. Here are all the details. ...

After spending a majority of his career in the light heavyweight division, Tim Boetsch will now be moving down to the middleweight class and he will be taking on "The Ultimate Fighter" season three winner, Kendall Grove. Boetsch entered the UFC in February of 2008 as a late replacement, taking on David Heath at UFC 81, where he earned an impressive first-round TKO over the then budding light heavyweight prospect. The win helped establish himself as an exciting fighter in the new organization, however his career in the UFC has been a roller coaster ride at that, much like Kendall Grove. And while both men remain fan favorites, they will both likely be fighting for their jobs come this May. ...

Another season of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter” has come and gone, another live special that traditionally ends the competition is once more in the history books.

Twelve seasons of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter” have now aired, twelve “Ultimate Finale” live events have come and gone. Last night was the latest “Ultimate Finale” event, and it certainly caused its fair share of controversy. In the main event, Jonathan Brookins defeated Michael Johnson to become the TUF 12 champion. But what does his future hold, and for that matter, the futures of all the men who competed at “The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale”? Here are my thoughts. ...

The live finale event to the twelfth season of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter” is now a thing of the past. A new champion has been crowned, and several stars looked great in their main-card attractions.

Here are the full results to “The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale”. ...

I feel great. I hope I'm ready, because there's no more time (left). Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Demian Maia looks for his third win in his last four fights when he takes on "The Ultimate Fighter" season three winner, Kendall Grove. Maia was last in action when he competed against the always tough Mario Miranda, who stands as only the second man to third man to go the distance with Demian inside the UFC. At the culmination of their August middleweight bout, Maia walked away with a clear-cut decision victory. Now, heading into his match up with the Hawaiian Grove, Demain switched things up a bit in the last week leading up to the fight in hopes to gain a competitive edge in this pivotal 185-pound fight. ...

UFC veteran Goran Reljic, made waves in the UFC in 2008 when he defeated then light heavyweight contender Wilson Gouveia, with second strikes. With an opening like that, which earned both him and Gouveia "Fight of the Night" honors, the sky appeared to be the limit for the Croatian sensation, who has trained alongside legend Mirko "Cro Cop". However, a 2-year lapse would follow where Goran had suffered from a serious back injury, putting him out of commission, and out of the minds and ears of the fans and media alike. ...

UFC Hall of Famer, and one of the most recognized fighter's in the sport today, Matt Hughes will step into the octagon for the 52nd time, against welterweight contender, Ricardo Almeida. A Renzo Gracie student, Almeida has made a successful transition to the 170 pound division after a well established career as a middleweight, which has seen him garner wins over the likes of Kendall Grove, Kazuo Misako, and perennial contender Nate Marquardt. Matt Hughes, has had a long and storied career in the UFC. After making his debut nearly 10 years ago, a 20 second submission loss to nemesis Dennis Hallman, Hughes would then go on to capture the welterweight title with a knockout slam over then champion Carlos Newton, and would then go on to set the precedent for 5 consecutive defenses--the most ever cemented in the welterweight division. ...

Three TUF champions highlighted the action in Las Vegas Saturday night: the original, the past, and the future. The future shines brilliantly for The Ultimate Fighter's newest blast into the mainstream consciousness, Amir Sadollah (1-0). In his professional debut, Sadollah tapped "Doberman" CB Dollaway (6-1) in an armbar at 3:02 of round one to win the seventh season of the popular SpikeTV reality show contest. "Nightmare" Diego Sanchez (19-2), one of the two original Ultimate Fighters, looked physically fitter than ever in his third-round TKO of American Top Team's Luigi Fioravanti (12-4) at 4:07. After back-to-back "embarrasing" losses, "Spyder" Kendall Grove (9-5), TUF 3 champion, recaptured past glory in a three-round split decision over former UFC titlist Evan Tanner (32-8). The likeable young TUF walk-on from Virginia, Sadollah, versus the cocky All-American favorite, Dollaway, was a rematch of an exhibition fight fought on the final episode of last season's The Ultimate Fighter. Saturday's finish was almost a replay of that fight's end. ...

Fighters.com's second-ranked heavyweight,current UFC co-Heavyweight Champion, and UFC Hall of Famer "The Natural" Randy Couture(16-8) spoke exclusively with Fighters.com from his Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas Monday afternoon. Couture graciously confronted and answered questions about his beef with the Zuffa, LLC and UFC President Dana White and third-ranked "Maine-iac" Tim Sylvia's (24-4) and his own prospective fight with sixth-ranked "Last Emperor" Fedor Emelianenko (27-1), shared opinions about fifth-ranked welterweight Matt Hughes (42-7), "Kimbo Slice" Kevin Ferguson (3-0), and Brock Lesnar (1-1), and made picks on future fights. Fighters.com: You've said you've accepted that you might get a bad court ruling and not fight again. Have you lost some competitiveness from being inactive for so long? The Natural: I still want to compete. I'm still in training as much as I can be with all this other stuff going on. I still seem to be able to hold my own, even with the lack of serious, hardcore training, with all the top guys that I have in the gym. I'm having fun being in the gym learning new tools, new skills and being there with a lot of the other guys that have been there for me, so I'm not too worried about that. The courts are going to do what the courts are going to do. We'll deal with it when it comes in. Fighters.com: Not many fighters have wives who also train. Does that give you both a different perspective and more understanding? ...

The match-up has not been confirmed by the UFC. Both fighters are coming off disappointing losses.
