Despite another weekend without the UFC, last week was filled with MMA news and capped off with a busy weekend of fights. News dropped of two UFC 153 fighters testing positive following the event last week and the World Series of Fighting held its first event.
The MMA Rankings haven’t changed much over the last few months but as we enter the final two months of 2012 there are several fights slated that are sure to shake up the ranks. Last month only saw one ranked fighter enter the cage and that fight wasn’t even at his normal weight class. There was one fighter that did jump into the top five when he earned a flyweight title shot at UFC on FX 5.
Saturday’s UFC 153 event in Brazil was one of the years best that had several great fights. With only six more events (free and PPV) this year for the Ultimate fighting Championship, UFC 153 re-kindled the notion that the Welterweight is most likely the toughest division the UFC has. Despite being stagnate at the top for most of the year, the welterweight division is heating up and two fighters at UFC 153 made huge statements.
This week’s MMA Link Club continues where we left off last week, recapping some of last week’s events as well as hitting on the action from this past weekend. These past couple weeks have been wall to wall Mixed Martial Arts, but we got you covered.
