WWE Roadblock Recap & Review

With WrestleMania just under three weeks away Dean Ambrose was a man on a mission. Out to derail The Authority’s plans for the year’s biggest show by capturing Triple H’s WWE World Heavyweight crown was the ‘Lunatic Fringe’ successful in reshaping not only the Road to WrestleMania, but the entire landscape of the promotion? Also, what else went down as the WWE hit a Roadblock in Toronto, Canada?

UFC: Who Should Conor McGregor Fight Next?

It’s amazing just how quickly things can change in the crazy sport of MMA. In a matter of minutes Conor McGregor went from a seemingly unstoppable promotional juggernaught to a fighter with much to prove when he surrendered to Nate Diaz’s rear naked choke in the main event of UFC 196. With his back now against the wall the UFC’s first Irish champion has an incredibly tough decision to make when he chooses his next opponent. No one is an easy out at this point. Who should McGregor fight next?

UFC 196 Recap & Results

Mere months after a 14-second knockout which saw him claim the UFC featherweight title, Conor McGregor returned to the Octagon seeking a newer, heavier challenge. Moving up 25 pounds to take on late replacement fighter Nate Diaz, could the Irish sensation continue his dominance, this time as a welterweight? Also, could Holly Holm continue her reign and remain perfect as a professional as she defended her newly acquired women’s bantamweight title against perennial contender Miesha Tate?

Predicting UFC 196

No longer tasked with making history by becoming the first UFC fighter to simultaneously hold gold in two weight classes Conor McGregor will instead have another opportunity to showcase his skills and further hone his growing blockbuster appeal. Hoping to wreck the party is late notice newcomer Nate Diaz, a fearsome and fearless warrior who has more of a chance than most are giving him. Also on the card is the anticipated first title defense of the woman who beat the unbeatable. Will Holly Holm remain perfect, or can Miesha Tate finally capture UFC gold with another upset? What else can we expect to happen at UFC 196?

UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Bisping Recap & Results

One of the UFC’s most tenured fighters Michael Bisping has been competing at the highest level of the sport for the better part of a decade, yet he has never been able to secure a title shot, let alone register a signature victory over a top contender. Returning to fight in his home country for the first time in five years, could one of Britain’s greatest mixed martial artists finally shake his ‘nearly man’ image with a upset victory over the decorated and revered former champion Anderson Silva?

UFC Fight Night: Predicting Silva vs. Bisping

Legacy and reputation as opposed to belts and title shots will be the prizes up for grabs as the UFC returns to London for a hotly anticipated showdown between Michael Bisping and the legendary Anderson Silva. Fighting in his home country for the first time in over five years, can the Manchester-born Bisping finally claim a victory over a member of the middleweight elite, or will the returning ‘Spider’ kick off what will surely be a final run with a strong reminder of why so many consider him to be one of the finest fighters the world has ever seen?

WWE Fastlane Recap & Review

With a WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at WrestleMania 32 on the line Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar collided in the main event of the second-ever WWE Fastlane. With ‘The Beast’ the overwhelming favourite on paper, could the former Shield teammates and longtime ‘brothers’ Reigns and Ambrose stay on the same page long enough to remove their dangerous adversary from the equation? Who confirmed their spot in main event of the year’s biggest show, and what else happened as the Road to WrestleMania made its latest stop?

WWE: Matches That Need To Happen At WrestleMania 32

This year’s WrestleMania, potentially the biggest instalment in the event’s history, is less than 50 days away. With the ‘Road to WrestleMania’ well underway the stories and their players are slowly moving into place as the WWE aims to deliver a card that could sell out the enormous AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Injuries might have blighted the promotion since late last year, but that shouldn’t prevent the show from being another excellent spectacle.

Taking into consideration the superstars available along with a number of developing angles and character changes, this post looks at five matches that need to happen at WrestleMania 32.

WWE: Daniel Bryan's Greatest Matches

He might have been labelled a B+ player on television, but in reality Daniel Bryan was a once in a generation superstar whose hard work and determination endeared him to fans like only a handful had done before. Joining the WWE in 2010, Bryan’s popularity soared almost instantly as the former indy sensation delivered a string of memorable moments and unforgettable matches. A torrid eighteen month spell on the sidelines has sadly forced Bryan prematurely retire, but he’ll always be remembered for his brief but brilliant stint as the industry's hottest star. To celebrate his career this post looks back at Daniel Bryan’s greatest matches with the WWE.

Top 10: Greatest WWE Crowd Reactions

Live crowds have always played a pivotal part in professional wrestling. Whether it be wild celebration, gasps of awe or stunned silence almost every famous moment in the WWE’s illustrious history has been met with a suitable reaction. With AJ Styles’ Royal Rumble debut last month still fresh in memory, and potentially the biggest WrestleMania of all time just around the corner, this post looks at ten of the very best crowd reactions in WWE history.

UFC: Greatest Fights That We'll Probably Never See

MMA can be a real heartbreaker sometimes. Last-minute injury withdrawals, shocking defeats, early retirements, business complications or even just a flat refusal to compete have all at some point conspired to rob us of some of the greatest matches of all time. The collapse of Werdum and Velasquez’s Super Bowl weekend rematch was both disappointing and unfortunate, but at least we still have a chance to see them throw down again in the future. The same cannot be said for these five bouts however; mouthwatering fights that rank among the greatest that we’ll probably never see come to fruition.

UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Bader Recap & Results

With Jon Jones supposedly clean and cleared to return to action soon the light heavyweight title picture is essentially closed for the time being. Hoping to book a long-sought shot against the winner of that inevitable clash Ryan Bader put his 5-fight winning streak on the line against one of the UFC’s most dangerous strikers, Anthony Johnson. Could Bader finally put the ghosts of previous disappointments behind him, or did ‘Rumble’ add the veteran contender to his long list of victims?

UFC on Fox: Predicting Johnson vs. Bader

It’s been a turbulent month for the UFC in terms of card organisation, but thankfully for them and us fans their return to New Jersey has remained largely intact. Meeting in the main event are two light heavyweights making their final approach on a shot at the title. Anthony Johnson has been there before, but Ryan Bader has yet to reach the pinnacle despite a long tenure with the promotion. Can Bader finally secure a crack at the gold, or will the dangerous ‘Rumble’ book a tantalising rematch with the champion?

WWE Royal Rumble Recap & Review

Never has a champion faced such a challenge. Forced to defend his WWE World Heavyweight title in the Royal Rumble match as its number one entrant, Roman Reigns’ odds of leaving with the belt were astronomically slim. Was the defiant champion able to pull off the unthinkable and successfully defend the gold, or did the devious McMahon family finally get their way and strip Reigns of his recently acquired prize? What else went down on one of the WWE’s most unpredictable nights of the year?

Predicting WWE Royal Rumble

For the first time since 1992 the WWE’s top title will be on the line in the Royal Rumble match. Vowing to make Roman Reigns’ life miserable following his World Heavyweight title triumph last month, the vengeful McMahon family have stacked the odds against the champion who’ll be guaranteed a long and tough night as he defends against 29 hungry challengers. Will Reigns pull off the unthinkable and leave Orlando still the champion? What else can we expect from the latest instalment of the WWE’s first show of the year?

Royal Rumble: 5 Dream Rumble Match Entrants

The Royal Rumble has always been one of the WWE’s most exciting matches but in recent years the potential for a shocking return has added new layers of unpredictability and intrigue. With potentially the biggest WrestleMania in history just around the corner, and following two underwhelming previous instalments, delivering an unforgettable Rumble match will be imperative. This post looks at five superstars whose unlikely involvement would undoubtedly help elevate the match to the level of quality we’ve come to expect from the January classic.

UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs. Cruz Recap & Results

It was the fight the UFC’s bantamweight division had been waiting for. Finally returning to contention following a torrid 4-year spell on the sidelines, former champion Dominick Cruz hoped to complete an incredible comeback by recapturing the belt he never lost. The current champion, T.J. Dillashaw, however had looked superb since claiming the title two years prior. Could Cruz join the elite group of two-time UFC champions, or did Dillashaw prove himself once and for all as the undisputed king of the 135-pound division?

UFC Fight Night: Predicting Dillashaw vs. Cruz

Finally meeting after months of verbal sparring, T.J. Dillashaw will defend his bantamweight gold against a former champion whose style many feel the champion imitated in his star-making title victory. Speed and movement were key to Dillashaw’s capture and subsequent defence of the belt he won two years ago, but the very same traits were being used by Dominick Cruz long before the current champion made his shocking ascent to the top. Will the champion prove himself as more than just a pale imitation of his challenger, or will Cruz complete his long road to recovery by regaining the belt he never officially lost?

UFC: 5 Great Multi-Weight Class Fighters

Weight class changes in combat sports are a big deal. Dropping, or even going up a weight class can rejuvenate a struggling fighter or conversely bring new challenges to dominant ones. With news of newly minted featherweight champion Conor McGregor’s potential move to face the lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 197, this post looks at 5 other UFC fighters who have found success in more than one weight division.

Royal Rumble: Top WWE World Heavyweight Championship Contenders

WWE fans desperately needed something fresh following a disappointing 2015, and that’s exactly what we got with Vince McMahon’s huge announcement on Raw: For the first time ever the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will be defended in the Royal Rumble match. While all the signs may point to another triumph for the current title holder, Roman Reigns, there are a number of other potential contenders who could capture the gold. This post looks at six of the best candidates to win this year’s unique Royal Rumble match.

UFC 195 Recap & Results

Returning for the first time since his stunning first title defense over Rory MacDonald at UFC 189, welterweight champion Robbie Lawler hoped to continue his incredible late career form with another violent masterpiece. Defending the gold this time against fellow savage warrior, former interim champion Carlos Condit, could the ‘Ruthless’ kingpin keep hold of his title, or did ‘The Natural Born Killer’ usher in a new era for the 170-pound division?

Predicting UFC 195

Locked, cocked and set to continue the New Year’s fireworks, UFC 195 might be a little light on star power following the promotion’s epic shows last month but its five main card duels each have the potential to be excellent encounters nonetheless. Headlined by a spectacular welterweight title battle pitting two of the division’s most violent and tenured warriors, what can we expect to happen at the UFC’s first event of what should be yet another history-making year?
