Light heavyweight Reese Andy cut from the UFC

Light heavyweight Reese Andy cut from the UFC

With a roster over 200 fighters, the UFC has made it a priority to trim its roster in hopes of pairing it down close to 150 contracted fighters on its roster. Just this week alone FiveOuncesOfPain.com has learned that Rich Clementi, Luigi Fioravanti, Derek Downey, Christian Wellisch, and Eddie Sanchez have all been cut within the past week and past month. Five Ounces of Pain has also confirmed that... [Read More...]

Faber vs. Pulver: Get Amped

Faber vs. Pulver: Get Amped

This really is a fight that’s being slept on because it’s been wedged between UFC 84, EliteXC on CBS, and UFC 85 but it could end up being one of the best fights of the entire summer.

Jens Pulver: “If I have my way, it ain’t going past 20 seconds”

Jens Pulver talks about what it’s going to take to beat Urijah Faber on June 1 in Sacramento, California when these two featherweights clash for Faber’s WEC title. This should be a great scrap, but I don’t see how Pulver beats Faber. If Pulver can keep it standing and utilize his great striking skills, he has a chance. If this fight ends up on the ground, however, Pulver is in some... [Read More...]
