MMA Favorite

With the latest developments surrounding Alistair Overeem and Fedor
Emelianenko (not to mention Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz), the past week
has given MMA fans and pundits alike a plethora of discussion points.

In this week’s edition of “The Sunday Junkie,” our weekly
reader-feedback feature, our readers touch on those subjects and more,
taking both sides of the key arguments.

But this week’s winner, New Jersey’s Doc Brown, takes a surprising
stance in support of a man often painted as public enemy No. 1: Chael
Sonnen, who once again held court at an outrageous Q&A session this
past weekend.

The UFC’s return to England and a recently announced bantamweight title fight on a free Versus card were hot topics in this week’s edition of The Sunday Junkie.

In our weekly reader-feedback feature, fans discusses both those shows, UFC 138 and UFC on Versus 6, and voiced both praise and criticism for each.

But this week’s winner, California reader “JenB,” instead focused on Liz Carmouche and how – despite a recent loss – the fighter’s fearlessness had made her a fan for life.

Did Tito Ortiz just become a fan-favorite?

In this week’s edition of The Sunday Junkie, our readers discuss a
variety of topics ranging from the ever-present hormone therapy issue to
Lyoto Machida’s reluctance to fight on short notice to the role referees
play in controversial judging decisions.

But this week’s winner, Derick Lyngholm, makes an argument he admits he
never thought he’d stand behind. Ortiz, sometimes considered one of the
most hated men in the sport, is quickly becoming one of his cheering
interests.

Outspoken and sometimes controversial middleweight Chael Sonnen is back.

UFC officials this week announced that Sonnen will return this fall
against surging contender and war hero Brian Stann, and fan reaction was
mixed, to say the least.

In this week’s edition of The Sunday Junkie, our readers discuss all
things Sonnen (not to mention PEDs), as well as a number of other
relevant topics. But our winning entry came from Matthew Goldstein, who
believes Sonnen’s words continue to prove more of an asset than a
liability.

Dominick Cruz cemented his champion status, Tito Ortiz shocked the world, and Melvin Guillard and Carlos Condit made convincing cases for title-shot consideration.

In this week’s edition of The Sunday Junkie, our readers discuss those UFC 132 bouts, as well as Nate Marquardt’s release from the UFC, the status of Chael Sonnen, and how MMA rules and judging need to be changed.

However, our winning entry came from Virginia’s Richard Chong, who
celebrates what may be the end of Wanderlei Silva’s MMA career.
