Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – I once asked then-super middleweight boxing champion Jeff Lacy what a knockout felt like. He described it as playing a video game, but that he was controlling his opponent. When I posed the same question to UFC heavyweight contender Junior Dos Santos, he replied, “It’s what I train to do; it’s great when I accomplish my goal in a fight.”

Michael DiSanto, UFC – Anderson Silva is the most dominant fighter in UFC history—period.
He is currently riding an 11-fight Octagon winning streak, which is the longest in UFC history, and it is three clear of second place in all-time wins, which is a gigantic difference in the “anything can happen on any given day” world of mixed martial arts.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – In pre-fight interviews, Brian Stann said he wasn’t worried about going to the mat against Mike Massenzio.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – Before he was Bones Jones, NBT (Next Big Thing), Jon Jones was a 21-year old armed with talent, desire, and the dreams of every young fighter in mixed martial arts – to be in the UFC.
And despite a spotless 6-0 record, when he set foot inside the Octagon for the first time to face Andre Gusmao at UFC 87 in August of 2008, it was more than just another fight.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – Here’s a for instance – let’s say you show up to work as scheduled, the boss pulls you to the side and says you don’t have to work today, but here’s your check. Go enjoy yourself in the greatest city in the world, which is only 30 minutes away, come back, and then watch some fights on Saturday night.
Pretty cool, eh?
