Battling With the UFC

The pageantry and exotic nature of Pride FC was on full display as we got to see what it looks like when a 168 pound man fights a 600 pound man. We also get to see an epic showdown between Kazushi Sakuraba and Carlos Newton fresh off of Newton's losing effort in the Middleweight tournament in the UFC.

In what feels like the most stacked card I have seen doing the MMA Archive, Dan Henderson, Carlos Newton, Chuck Liddel all make their UFC debuts. Mark Coleman returns after losing his title to face Pete Williams and Frank Shamrock defends his middleweight title against Jeremy Horn

5 months after securing a heavyweight tournament win, Mark Kerr takes his talents to Japan to fight a kickboxing legend. In the co-main event Marco Ruas also made his way to Japan to face the rising star of Gary Goodridge. 

The UFC makes it's way to Louisiana to host the first Lightweight (170lbs) Tournament in UFC history. Frank Shamrock also tries to defend his title for the first time as he crosses paths with Igor Zinoviev.

For the first time the octagon is outside of the United States and has made its way to Japan! Yokohama to be exact, there's another heavyweight tournament set up as well as Heavyweight champion Maurice Smith defending his title against Randy Couture in the main event. 

Chris is joined by WizzBets to break down the action from UFC Vegas 57 and look ahead to what should be a historic PPV in UFC 276.

UFC 15 included one of the most significant matchups in UFC history between Randy Couture and Vitor Belfort AKA Viktor Belfort. The winner of this fight gets a shot at Heavyweight Champion Maurice Smith if he can take care of business in the main event against Tank Abbot. 

The MMA Archive is not just the UFC archive anymore! Chris is joined by Arwin to break down the first ever Pride event in the Tokyo Dome in Japan. 50,000 people were in attendance to witness history and it turned out to be a damn good card too. 

Chris is joined by Dale Lipan from Punchlist MMA to break down all the action from UFC 14. Between the new rules changes, the Middleweight and Heavyweight tournaments, and the Heavyweight title fight headliner between Mark Coleman and UFC newcomer Maurice Smith, there was a ton to cover!

Chris is joined by Wizzbets to talk about all the wild moments from UFC 274. They breakdown the co main and what made it so bad... and the main event and why it was so damn exciting. They also look forward to UFC Vegas 54 where a former champ has his chance to shine again.
