In the sport of mixed martial arts, UFC is unquestionably the leading organization, and it's not even close. Other MMA promotions exist, but they haven't even come close to reaching the levels of popularity -- or the levels of fighting talent -- that UFC has achieved.But EliteXC has a chance of...
Affliction and UFC went head to head Saturday night, Dream finished up its Lightweight Grand Prix early this morning, and EliteXC has its second CBS show coming up this weekend. It's an exciting time to be a fan of mixed martial arts, and we'll be chatting about it all, live today at 1 p.m....
