“I chose Bellator for a number of reasons. They offered me the best contract, I can get three fights done in three months, and on top of that I really think that they will do a good job of promoting me. I feel good about facing (Ryan) Thomas. I hear that he’s [...]
The six weeks of taping is complete. We get to see the drama begin to unfold at the end of the month. You don’t want to see Chuck Liddell face Tito Ortiz for a third time? Before you make a decision, wait until you see season 11 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” I haven’t seen or [...]

“I get doubted all the time. Regardless of what I do or who I beat, people always underestimate me. They’ve never given me the respect I deserve. Fighting GSP, if I can give him a good beating, people might start to change their mind.Josh Koscheck’s at the back of a long line [...]
