Forgive Stefan Struve, but all he wants to do is continue growing. While that seems strange for a man that stands 6’11 tall, Struve knows he is still developing every time he steps inside the Octagon.
Read all about how Struve feels he has done so far during his UFC career, and how he matches up with Dave Herman on Wednesday at UFC on Fuel TV 1.

(Everyone head over to Gary's Twitter and wish him the best of luck.)  Some really sad news today, Potato Nation. It is being reported that none other than MMA/kickboxing legend and regular CP columnist Gary Goodridge has been diagnosed with early onset CTE/pugilistic dementia at the age of 46. Goodridge, who built a reputation for his hard hitting style and aggressive attack, has fought an incredible 84 times since beginning his professional career in 1996. CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is brain damage that stems from repeated blows to the head, and is a common occurrence amongst boxers, football players, and hockey players for obvious reasons. Though the outlook is grim for "Big Daddy," Goodrige says he wouldn't change a thing in hindsight. But perhaps a little surprising is the fact that he places most of the blame on his K1 career.

You get the news you just have to deal with it, live with it. There’s no treatment that goes along with it. There’s pills to make it slow down the process, but it’s inevitable. I have no regrets. I love the way I live my life, I mean I would like to make little changes, but no, I have no regrets. I loved the way my life was, I lived a good life, and I'm happy with what I did.

Embattled MMA promotion Strikeforce suffered another cruel blow this week when it was revealed a light heavyweight co-headliner featuring former champ Gegard Mousasi mixing it up with heavy-handed Mike Kyle had been scrapped from a March 3 Strikeforce event. Kyle was apparently injured while training for the fight and unable to compete. The timing of [...]

In what may be the best match-up of names thus far in our Hockey Fight of the Day series, this entry features a nice bout between the Minnesota Wild’s Cal Clutterbuck and Vancouver Canucks’ Maxim Lapierre where Clutterbuck apparently bites off a little more than he can chew in facing the veteran scrapper.

Public opinion seems to be split down the middle in terms of whether Nick Diaz was more deserving of a decision victory last night at UFC 143 than actual winner, Carlos Condit. Both battled for twenty-five minutes with Condit taking an aesthetically unpleasing, counter-striking style rather than engaging Diaz in stand-up exchanges for any extended [...]

Dana White hasn’t ever been known by the public as have much hair.

Because Nick Diaz can’t answer the bell for an immediate rematch with interim welterweight champ Carlos Condit (Pictured) courtesy of a flunked UFC 143 drug test, Condit has decided he’ll ride the pine until 170-pound king Georges St-Pierre returns from injury. “We don’t know when Georges is coming back yet,” White told MMAJunkie. “But Carlos [...]

(Yeah MMA made her a household name, but Hollywood magic made her a size 4.) According to The Hollywood Reporter, female fighter and thespian Gina Carano has signed on for her second leading film role for the upcoming John Stockwell-directed thriller, "In the Blood," which will likely mean that a return to MMA is not in the cards for the 29-year-old Strikeforce and EliteXC veteran. "In The Blood" will begin production in Puerto Rico in the spring. The film is scripted by Dumb and Dumber’s Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston. Actor-turned-director Stockwell is best known for his work on Cheaters, Crazy/Beautiful, Blue Crush, Into the Blue, Turistas, and Heart.
