No one likes being cut, but, it’s all part of the cream rising to the top. Although they reached the pinnacle of mixed martial arts, the fighters within had their contracts terminated by the UFC for one reason or another. It’s not all bad, though. Often, the UFC will invite back terminated fighters if they string together a few solid wins in other organizations.
Never mind the money, fame, and glory. We know the real reason that most become fighters… the women, of course! Within, you’ll find some of the hottest wives and girlfriends of MMA fighters. Sure, we know some of these relationships have long been over, but, a little eye candy never hurts. As if anyone needed another reason to be envious.
There’s been a saying in MMA circles for years, “everyone has a plan… until they get hit in the face.” Quite simply, getting hit in the face hurts and feeling that pain can change the course of a fight.

Wow, Dream puts together some great promotional posters, don’t they? While most organizations slap a few fighters and a date on their event posters, Dream
What a rogue’s gallery of hardcore criminals! Well, not really. In general, MMA fighters get a bad rap because the mainstream media still doesn’t understand the sport. Any slip up and they plaster that fighter’s mugshot everywhere. Drinking and driving, drugs, fighting – the usual shenanigans here. Well, we gathered the mugshots, but only ‘cuz you asked.
Tournament champions. Superfight winners. Multiple weight class champions. No doubt about it – the UFC Hall of Fame is stacked with some of the most accomplished fighters of our generation. And, unlike “Hall of Famers” in other sports, the will of these warriors is so intense that some are still fighting. Will Randy Couture ever hang ’em up?
