by Michael David SmithAlthough the Brock Lesnar-Randy Couture main event at UFC 91 is one of the biggest MMA fights in history, the undercard is lacking in star power.So in an attempt to boost the cache of the rest of the card, UFC President Dana White has announced that the winner of the fight between Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson will become the No. 1 lightweight contender and earn a title shot against champion B.J. Penn. For the most part, that's a good thing. Knowing these guys are...

Baseball Writers’ Association of America released the AL CY Young Award today. Cliff Lee was the most deserving and he won it by a landslide.

Martial Arts, MMA-UFC 3 day(s) ago
Whether they saw it live or on replay, or both, the entire world of MMA fans has seen Brock Lesnar knock down, and then brutally pound down, on Randy Couture at UFC 91 to become the new UFC heavyweight champion . In shape, experienced and savvy at age 45, Randy Couture came in as the underdog against Brock Lesnar. I personally picked Couture to win because I felt his lateral mobility, hands and dirty boxing could trump Lesnar's size and power advantage. But alas, Couture fell into...
