This Friday, Bellator will hold their Bellator 138 event on Spike TV. However, I see many hardcore fans skipping this event because of the main event between Ken Shamrock and Kimbo Slice. I decided to write this article to explain that the event is worth seeing because there are some gems to look at.

Debunking the Rousey/Cyborg Talking Points and Looking At Why This Fight Hasn't Happened

Debunking the Rousey/Cyborg Talking Points and Looking At Why This Fight Hasn't Happened

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey vs. Cris "Cyborg" Justino is a superfight that fans have been looking forward to for years. It's also a fight that could potentially be the biggest fight in Women's MMA to date. Unfortunately, things have prevented the fight from happening. With most of blame going to Cyborg because she has not moved down to bantamweight, I've decided to write this article to debunk the talking points and show that while Cyborg is no saint, she's not to blame here. Also, I will take a look at who are really responsibile for the fight not happening and why they don't have much to gain from it happening. Before beginning, I want to make it perfectly clear that this isn't an anti-Rousey, anti-UFC, and pro-Cyborg article. It's me trying to clear the air on ridiculous talking points and who the fans should really be calling out if they want this fight.

Out With The Old, In With The New

Out With The Old and In With The New

Ever since the recent wrestling boom ended in 2001, professional wrestling has been in a lull. Business and interest has declined and there have been many reasons why. One of the reasons many don't think of is the fact that the big companies can't seem to let go of talent. The big promotions in the WWE, TNA, and ROH have had the same problem where they either cling to aging talent long past their prime or talent that's been ridiculously stale for years. Because of this, the companies have had times when they've gotten stale and boring because we've been watching the same talents that been around forever. We'll take a look at the benefits of cycling talent out every now and then.
