Thomas Gerbasi, WEC - The messages on Jamie Varner's Twitter and Facebook accounts come frequently enough that they're pretty noticeable:

Prince Of Persia Brings His Fury To Edmonton

Fri, 06/18/2010 - 17:30
Frank Curreri, WEC - Kamal Shalorus' dogged pursuit of "The American Dream" runs through Canada and former WEC champion Jamie Varner. And the Iranian-born globetrotter, who now resides in Austin, Tex., is playing mind tricks on himself right before Sunday night's main event in Edmonton, Alberta.

Court McGee -Alive

Fri, 06/18/2010 - 08:01
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - The signing of an autograph is usually just an afterthought for a professional athlete. Sign your name, smile, take a picture or shake a hand, and on to the next one. But it was a bit more than that recently for Court McGee when approached by a young fan.

Kris McCray TUFs Toughest Ever

Fri, 06/18/2010 - 05:01
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - In the first year of Kris McCray's professional mixed martial arts career, he fought five times, winning all of them, with each bout ending in the first round. Three were finished in less than a minute.

Canadas Two Top Featherweights Set to Collide

Fri, 06/18/2010 - 04:57
Frank Curreri, WEC - Punching Yves Jabouin in the face has been on Mark Hominick's mind for an exceptionally long time. And vice-versa. "This fight was supposed to be booked for about eight years now," Jabouin said. "It was a fight that was always talked about," Hominick said, "but never became reality."

Josh Grispi Returns, L.C. Davis Predicts A War

Thu, 06/17/2010 - 22:59
Frank Curreri, WEC - Musician Paul Simon famously lamented in one of his songs, "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?" WEC fans may be wondering the same about finisher extraordinaire Josh Grispi. The distant relative of boxing icon Rocky Marciano has been M.I.A. from the Octagon for more than a year. Now healed from ankle surgery and an alarming neck injury, the dynamic Bostonian returns to the cage this Sunday against L.C. Davis in a matchup that could have title shot implications.

UFC goes to Boston for first time with UFC 118: Penn vs. Edgar 2

Thu, 06/17/2010 - 17:56
For a city that has developed many Ultimate Fighting Championship® fighters and that is steeped in sports history, finally Boston will get to witness world-class mixed martial arts in its own backyard. After a back-and-forth instant classic at UFC® 112 in April, which saw Frankie Edgar shock the mixed martial arts world and take the UFC lightweight strap from around BJ Penn's waist, the two will square off again on Saturday, August 28 at UFC 118: EDGAR VS. PENN 2, which is live from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts and presented by TapouT®. Also featured on this stacked card, UFC legend Randy Couture takes on boxing legend James Toney in a true grappler vs. striker matchup as Toney makes his highly anticipated mixed martial arts debut. It will be a matchup of two impressive Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts as dangerous foot-lock specialist Rousimar Palhares takes on the well-rounded Nate Marquardt, and in a battle for the next top lightweight contender spot, Gray Maynard will be swimming in shark-infested waters as he fights Boston-product Kenny Florian.

Jamie Yager More than Meets the Eye

Thu, 06/17/2010 - 15:01
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - News Flash - despite what you may think, Jamie Yager's really not a bad guy. Yeah, he talks a lot and could be seen as abrasive at times, but those of us who grew up on the east or west coasts of the United States see and do that kind of stuff a lot, so it's really not that big of a deal.

Keith Jardine Recharged and Ready for Hamill

Thu, 06/17/2010 - 07:01
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - One of Keith Jardine's most admirable traits is that he doesn't get rattled by too much. 'Been there, done that' could be the motto of the 'Dean of Mean', a guy who doesn't get too high or too low, and who can let most things slide without a second glance.

Horodecki Stoked For Homecoming against Renaissance Man Downes

Thu, 06/17/2010 - 06:59
Frank Curreri, WEC - Dan Downes is an unbeaten pro fighter, but it's his whole "Renaissance Man" resume that most distinguishes him from many of his pugilistic peers and could make the rest of us feel like one-dimensional slackers.
