Dana White Reacts To Anderson Silva Ranting About Him On Instagram
Share this: Anderson Silva is not happy with the UFC, and he has no problem talking about it. The Spider was supposed to fight Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 212, but his opponent was pulled following a positive marijuana test. Silva has since threatened retirement after questioning decisions made by the UFC. On Tuesday, the veteran fighter voiced his frustrations in a rant on an Instagram live stream. During the video, Silva, addressing UFC President Dana White as the ‘almighty one’, lamented the fact that fighters do the training while White “sits there and only books fights and stays there”. He explained it is the fighters who “make the show happen, not him”. White joined NESN.com’s Rachel Holt via Skype on Wednesday, and commented on Silva’s discontentment with the UFC. To hear

The fight nearly came to end at the round’s end Johnson mounted and piled on elbows but Reis survived the bell. Johnson’s full range of ability came on display in the third as he took Reis down, kept control and
Michael Bisping Blasts ‘Coward’ Vitor Belfort In Extremely Vulgar Rant
Share this: Michael Bisping just can’t stand Vitor Belfort. Belfort, who’s lost his last three fights via TKO, has only one fight remaining on his UFC contract and then plans to retire from mixed martial arts. For his farewell bout, Belfort would like to fight in his native Brazil, where UFC 212 is scheduled to take place June 3, and The Phenom’s suggestion for his final opponent sure rubbed Bisping the wrong way. Belfort recently said (jokingly) he’d like to fight former WWE superstar CM Punk, whose MMA record stands at 0-1 after being pummeled in September by Mickey Gall at UFC 203. The idea made Bisping, who lost to Belfort in January 2013, go nuts on the most recent episode of his

UFC 209 Tyron Woodley Vs. Stephen Thompson Live: Results, Highlights, Analysis
Share this: UFC 209 is down a pretty important fight, but Saturday still should be a fun night of mixed martial arts at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. The headliner is the welterweight championship rematch between title holder Tyron Woodley and challenger Stephen Thompson. The two faced off in an instant classic at UFC 205, although it unfortunately ended in a draw. But they’ll get a second chance to wow fight fans Saturday night, and hopefully we’ll get a decision this time. Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson were supposed to fight for the interim lightweight title and a probably future chance at Conor McGregor, but it was cancelled after Nurmagomedov was rushed to the hospital due to weight management problems. The (updated) main card will kick off at
