After Holly Holm’s astounding victory over Ronda Rousey in UFC 193 - which I’m proud to say I predicted - there are clamors for an immediate rematch. Dana White’s close relationship with Ronda makes it nearly impossible for him to accept the emphati...

The answer is simple, and while most people believe that it doesn't matter, and that it depends on how hungry the person is, there is a trend.
Imagine this, you are born in a lower class family, nothing ha...
Read more...There are so many words that come to mind when I think of Holly Holm, but undoubtedly the most appropriate is “classy.” I was one of the few who predicted an upset in her November 14th UFC fight with super star Ronda Rousey. When I posted Team Holm’s...
