On Tuesday’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on NBC, UFC star Ronda Rousey appeared to discuss her new book “My Fight/Your Fight,” which is being released May 12, when host Jimmy Fallon asked her if people wanted her to

Royce Gracie, the Babe Ruth and Abner Doubleday of mixed-martial arts (MMA), talked to Breitbart Sports about the sport’s origins and future on Wednesday.

UFC women’s champion Ronda Rousey got rowdy with Breitbart Sports.

UFC 135-pound women’s champion Ronda Rousey decried a double-standard inherent within a Breitbart Sports question about whether male fans accept women fighting. But Rousey’s point that we wouldn’t dare ask lighter-weight male fighters about the popularity of their divisions with the fans just doesn’t mesh with the facts.

“I would 100 percent fight him,” UFC middleweight Cathal Pendred tells Breitbart Sports about a rumored matchup with CM Punk.

“I didn’t walk around beating people up because karate taught me discipline,” Uriah Hall told Breitbart Sports. “It made me more assertive and less aggressive. But I taught kids. The greatest gift you can give any kid is confidence. I taught kids confidence—to believe in themselves, to stand up for what’s right and for others.”

A stoic Jose Aldo appears indifferent to the antics of upcoming opponent Conor McGregor. Fight fans, on the other hand, are anything but indifferent.

Irishman Conor McGregor tells Breitbart Sports that relying on welfare “can drain a man’s mind.” He knows firsthand.

“I own almost 55 weapons,” Cowboy Cerrone divulged to Breitbart Sports.

Donald Cerrone tells Breitbart Sports he would fight “as many times as they’d let me.”

“Tell Jose I want that belt spit-shined when he comes to Ireland,” featherweight Conor McGregor shouted at his open-workout on Thursday.

As the FBI looks to pressure the New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to tap out in a corruption investigation, the UFC sees an opportunity for its sport to finally receive approval and regulation from the last holdout against mixed-martial arts (MMA) in America.

Donald Cerrone says that he accepted a fight with former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson scheduled two weeks and a day removed from his UFC 182 victory because he thinks he can win and, more importantly, because he’s a “s#!+-bat loon.”

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, fresh off accepting a fight with Benson Henderson that will occur just 15 days after his victory over Myles Jury, tells Breitbart Sports that the UFC’s agreement with Reebok that removes all other sponsors from fighter gear in the octagon actually helps bottom-card mixed-martial artists.

“My real dream is not to headline in a stadium but to headline at Madison Square Garden,” light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones divulged on the conference call promoting UFC 182. “I’ve been saying it before I was champion. I do believe it will happen one day.” But that day won’t be today.

Jon Jones lied three months ago. He told the truth last night. We should applaud the latter rather than bellyache over the former.

The UFC 182 conference call, if devoid of the fireworks of this summer’s presser-turned-brawl, highlighted the hatred between the odd couple in begrudging praise and passive-aggressive backhanded compliments.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones tells Breitbart Sports that the widely-reported story that Nike dropped him as a product endorser because of a press-conference brawl was a lie.

The biggest fight in UFC history comes at the best time for the promotion.
