Predictions for UFC 129
The day has finally arrived as UFC 129 from the Rogers Centre takes place in Toronto this evening. I’ve waited all week long to give you my full breakdown of the three top fights. I may have hinted along the way who I thought was going to win, but I’ve held my tongue on how I think it gets done. Here are my official predictions for tonight’s fights with odds courtesy of Bodog Randy Couture...

Another Mess for Boxing at the Top of the... →
Great job by Dan Rafael from ESPN to break down a messy situation involving Amir Khan, Timothy Bradley, Devon Alexander and other top names at 140. Hate to say it as a massive boxing guy, but another example of why people are sick and tired of the sweet science and are moving onto what’s happening inside the octagon.

Welcome to the New Blog!
With my new focus on MMA and Boxing for the station, we figured that we might as well change the blog format as well. Thanks to Andy Smith for helping me out with the new look and feel of it and I’m looking forward to updating it as much as I can. I’ll start it all off with wall-to-wall coverage of UFC 129 in Toronto this weekend. I’ll be updating from the weigh-ins tomorrow...
