  27-03-2016 18:54
  
  https://youtu.be/GZ3YpMJGUDwFor years MMA fans have wanted to see what would happen if the legendary Fedor Emelianenko had competed against the heavyweight contenders in the UFC. When the former PRIDE Heavyweight king signed with upstart Japanese promotion Rizin FF in late 2015, it seemed like that door was shut forever. However, according to "The Last Emporer" himself, the possibility still exists, and is something he would like to see happen.Fedor spoke with EPIC MMA recently and claimed that

• Junior dos Santos on how much damage he took against Cain Velasquez: ‘I was looking worse than I really was’

  27-03-2016 18:00
  
  Junior dos Santos became the UFC heavyweight champion with a quick knockout win over Cain Velasquez in 2011, but a pair of losses to the American Kickboxing Academy product put him in a tough spot in the division.
  With Velasquez as champion, "Cigano" would hardly get a title shot anytime soon, but the scenario changed when Fabricio Werdum captured the gold in 2015. A rough loss to Alistair Overeem, a year after a hard-fought decision victory over Stipe Miocic, put the Brazilian down in the ranki

• T.J. Dillashaw will root for Urijah Faber, but believes Dominick Cruz will win 'for sure'

  27-03-2016 17:00
  
  Given everything that has gone down between T.J. Dillashaw and Urijah Faber in the aftermath of the former's split with Team Alpha Male, no one would blame you for guessing Dillashaw would root against Faber at every turn.
  But you'd be wrong.
  Dillashaw might not have a great relationship with Faber, but he straight up doesn't like Dominick Cruz, the man who beat him for the UFC bantamweight title in January.
  So when Cruz and Faber square off in their trilogy fight at UFC 199 at the Forum in Ingl

• Orlando's Magic

  27-03-2016 16:00
  
  At age 26, Orlando Sanchez was an overweight junkie. Seven years later, he is the No. 1 training partner for the UFC heavyweight king -- and ready to make a whole lot of noise inside the cage. The world met Orlando Sanchez in exactly the way it should have. On the mats. Scrambling. Overwhelming. Devouring another lamb led to slaughter. It was late 2014, and with the UFC Embedded cameras in tow, Fabricio Werdum surveyed the Mexican National BJJ Tournament from afar, barking out instructions

  It wasn't easy being an MMA fan in New York. For the last two decades or so, if you wanted to see live fights at a high level, you had to leave the state. You had to drive up to Boston or shoot across the river to New Jersey or schlep down the Turnpike to Philadelphia.
  Being a full-fledged MMA fan living in New York required a car or a plane ticket and enough money for a hotel room, in some cases. Sure, Prudential Center in Newark is just a few stops away from Manhattan on New Jersey Transit, bu

  In the broadcasting world, chemistry between the individuals sharing the booth or seated behind the desk is crucial, as the live-to-air interactions set the tone for the events about to unfold on the court, the field or inside the Octagon, and become the soundtrack for those watching at home.
