OTH: Ring Of Truth 3: Old Skool Review
by Joe Reilly on 9 July 2005
With the UFC on Bravo TV in Ireland and the UK, MMA is getting constant exposure to the masses. The top UK events like Cage Rage are starting to flourish with TV deals and great stars to boot. Ireland is following their neighbours, as interest for the sport is growing, but we still have very few MMA events to speak of.

OTH: Bushido Rings: Ireland vs. England Review
by Joe Reilly on 26 March 2005
A couple of weeks ago Ireland’s biggest MMA event to date took place in the Point Depot in Dublin, Ireland. The new promotion Bushido Rings could be compared to Shooto in Japan. The bouts are contested in a ring, no headshots are allowed on the ground and when a knockdown occurs the referee issues a ten count similar to boxing. This show had many interesting moments. Plenty of new stars were born in this part of the world and the planned main event was surrounded in controversy. So, how did this ambitious show come off when all was said and done? Read on and find out.

OTH: UFC 51 Super Saturday Preview
by Joe Reilly on 2 February 2005
With all the misfortunes UFC owners, Zuffa, had with the line up for the previous UFC, it appears that business is back to normal again. The upcoming UFC card looks stacked and as promising as any MMA card could be. Even if you engross yourself into all the unpleasantries that led to UFC 50 being constantly re-shaped, it actually turned out to be a solid show with the exception of there being only seven fights compared to the usual eight, and the main event falling short after an action packed undercard...

| | FPU: UFC 74 - Respect Review
By Seabass on 28 August 2007 |
| In most sports respect is earned, but in the UFC it is taken. Just ask Gabriel Gonzaga, who got some by knocking the F out of Mirko Cro Cop and at UFC 74, Gonzaga looks to try and gain more respect with no better way then taking out UFC?s own hall of famer and comeback [...] |

| Somebody is gonna get knocked the f*** out!
On one side you have got the man who is considered to be the face of UFC - the franchise if you will - the ultra-popular, ultra-tough light heavyweight champion, Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell. Then you have got the man who should be Pride middleweight champ (if not [...] |
