Henderson won convincingly but Edgar held his own, pushing Bendo to a five round barn-burner. While Henderson vs. Edgar is the main course, the entire UFC 150 card [...]

The young man wrangled the belt from the veteran in a dominant effort. Shogun believes he can regain the UFC light heavyweight belt. He’s confident in that fact. Rua [...]

Daniel Cormier needed a top 10 heavyweight to cement his position as a contender in his final Strikeforce bout. Tim Sylvia did not suffice that definition.
