MMA Torch &bull Feb 25, 2010
Who are the two or three current UFC fighters you'd be most intrigued to see leave UFC for whatever reason (perhaps not being given a fair shake, already fought everyone, hit a ceiling, etc.) and be acquired by Strikeforce.

MMA has proven, without a shadow-of-a-doubt, the above assertion to be asinine. But, you can't cognitively digest what you don't see. To battle this obscurity I firmly believe MMA needs to dive head-first into the stream of… Full Story »
