The fight that no one expected, and no one really asked for, is on its way in just over one month, and two former New York athletes are in the center of it all.
UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon "Bones" Jones will fight Daniel Cormier on September 29th for the belt, however they got into it a little early during the media shoot for the fight. Almost every one of these media events one guy gets in another guys face and it looks like they might throw hands...
As you have probably been able to gather in recent months, I have always been a big supporter of getting Mixed Martial Arts legalized in the state of New York. It has been a huge passion of mine and a fight I have brought to both this website and our airwaves at 104.5 "The Team." Well this past Saturday, I took my very public fight to legalize MMA to a whole new level.
Men and children of all ages (no, not much of a difference there) love wacky videos. And when they involve someone puking their guts out, well, that's a major score.
Throughout my 3 and a half years with 104.5 "The Team," it has been well-documented both on-air and online my love for Mixed Martial Arts. I have guests on a fairly regular basis to talk about big news stories within the sport, preview big fights and even hit on some testy issues like marijuana usage and TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). On top of that, I have been a consistent pro
The rise of UFC has had an impact on the American sports landscape, but it also might help fight crime. Need proof? Ask Shron Antoine Jones, an alleged carjacker in Stockton, Caliornia who wound up in a guillotine choke hold when he tried to steal the SUV of UFC fan Abel Simmons.
Every Saturday morning on 104.5 "The Team," you can check out my show "Cady's Corner," a local 1-hour sports talk show which covers anything and everything in the sports world - local and national alike. Once in a while, I have had the privilege of interviewing some noteworthy athletes of the past and present - and this one is right near the top of that list.
For almost a year, Renan Barao has been "the talk" of the UFC Bantamweight division, becoming the interim champion while the real champion has been recovering from ACL surgery. And now, Dominick Cruz is looking to reclaim his throne completely, as he continues his recovery from the December surgery.
Ronda Rousey, arguably UFC's fastest rising star, will serve as one of the coaches on the next season of 'The Ultimate Fighter,' the reality-based competition show, UFC president Dana White said at UFC 158 in Montreal on Saturday night.
The Ultimate Fighter is a pretty cool reality show that allows aspiring UFC fighters the opportunity to fight their way up the ladder of professional mixed martial arts. This season's heavy favorite is Uriah Hall, who showed the world why with a brutal knockout in yesterday's episode...
There are several athletes currently in the midst of their playing careers who have come from the Capital Region: Casper Wells, John Lannan, Dion Lewis and Mark Lyons just to name a few. However, one of the true original "sports ambassadors" to come from the Albany area has left us far too early. Earlier today, Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School varsity wrestling coach Jeff Blatnick p
