What an interesting journey it’s been for Jacob Volkmann. Volkmann debuted in the ufc at an impressive 9-0, but went on to lose back-to-back fights. With his job most likely on the line, Volkmann’s third UFC fight saw him debut at Lightweight and finally get the all-important W inside the Octagon. Volkmann is currently on a three-fight win-streak, but nowadays he’s far more known for the post-fight interview he gave where he said he wanted to fight President Barack Obama. After an avalanche of controversy and media appearances, Volkmann recently gave some interesting comments on the situation. Here’s the latest. ...

Another ufc event is in the history books, and another string of releases have been made because of it. The UFC continues to have some of the best MMA fights in the world, but they also continue to set a somewhat-dangerous precedent that anyone is expendable and no contract is safe. No matter how big of a star you are, if you fizzle in your debut or lose three in a row, you’re on the shortlist of fighters that can expect an incoming pink-slip. And that’s just what happened to both Brandon Vera and Antonio McKee, who are now free agents. Here are all the details. ...

As the worlds largest mixed martial art's organization tries to ring in the new year, additional bouts have been added to a stacked card. Next New Year's, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the UFC will return to Nevada with a lightweight title fight pitting current champion Frankie Edgar, who is riding on a 5-fight win streak (which included two back-to-back victories over former champion BJ Penn) will look to exact revenge when he defends his title against the only man to defeat him, undefeated UFC lightweight title challenger Gray Maynard. Also in action, former Interim heavyweight champion Shane Carwin is coming back to action after succumbing to his first defeat as a professional at UFC 116 when he tangles with the former IFL heavyweight champion and season 10 winner of "The Ultimate Fighter", Roy Nelson. ...

Antonio McKee, if anything else, is a dominant fighter. He hasn't put together the most exciting fights in his career, which is made evident by his 18 decision victories in his 25 wins as a professional, but his wrestling base has been something that has carried him through a 13-fight win streak (with 1 draw in the 14 fight stretch). However, since turning a corner in his career, finally at the ripe old age of 40, McKee is now on the heels of a two-fight finishing streak, most recently dispatching notable veteran Luiz Azevedo in defense of his MFC lightweight title. The 7 years Azevedo has competed as a professional mixed martial artist, he has defeated some of the sports best, including Rodrigo Damm, Din Thomas, and currently holds a victory over WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo--the Novia Uniao product's only career defeat. Making a promise to himself in an effort to finish fights as a last "hoorah" to the big time, McKee has finally reached the pinnacle of his career when he was recently acquired by the worlds largest organization: the UFC. ...

While Gomi may have picked up his biggest win in recent memory, he also picked up the biggest pay-day of the "ufc Live on Versus 2" card, held on August 1, last Sunday, in San Diego, Cali. ...
