The long-awaited grudge match between the two former teammates proved a lot less &#8220;grudgy&#8221; than expected. Evans, who gave up five inches in height and almost 10 inches [...]]]></description>

Fightville, which is not only the best MMA documentary I&#8217;ve ever seen but also one of the best sports documentaries, will finally hit Toronto theatres on April 6, making the date one very, very good Friday. I first saw the film at Hot Docs a year ago and was blown away:

Ronda Rousey is the new Brock Lesnar. In just five professional fights, the mouthy and arrogant Olympic judoka has a championship belt. Rousey needed just 4:27, or twice as long as her four previous fights combined, to back up her trash talking and submit Strikeforce women&#8217;s bantamweight champ Miesha Tate on Saturday night. It was [...]]]></description>

Frankie Edgar is begging for a rematch with Ben Henderson after losing a close unanimous decision at UFC 144. While a replay of the fight shows that Edgar has a good case for believing he won, that&#8217;s not how the judges saw it [...]]]></description>

Yesterday, welterweight Thiago Alves weighed in for today&#8217;s UFC on FX 2 bout with Martin Kampmann at 170.5 pounds. Three hours later he was 27 pounds heavier. By the time he steps into the cage he&#8217;ll probably tip past 200 pounds. That is an insane weight cut, an insane weight rebound (no matter how much [...]]]></description>

To be the champion, you have to beat the champion. Or so the adage goes. And that might have a lot to do with the Monday morning grumbling over Benson Henderson&#8217;s unanimous-decision win over lightweight champ Frankie Edgar at Saturday&#8217;s UFC 144 in Japan.

Sports Illustrated&#8217;s Loretta Hunt is one of the best journos on the MMA beat, but she&#8217;s off her rocker for suggesting Jake Ellenberger deserves a crack at Carlos Condit&#8217;s interim welterweight belt after his unconvincing win over Diego Sanchez on Wednesday.

Rolling and wrestling with Cornelius-level ape-men is gross. It&#8217;s that simple. It comes with the territory of you grapple, but it doesn&#8217;t make it any less unpleasant. Some judicious trimming, if not outright waxing or shaving, is really appreciated by your training partners and opponents. And it looks and feels cleaner.
