    Even novice mixed martial arts fans will recognize that the Ultimate Fighting Championship is the No. 1 MMA promotion in the United States and on the planet.
    What makes businesses better is when there is competition. In the case of MMA in North America, there have been contenders such as the International Fight League, BoDog Fights, Affliction and Elite XC since the explosion in popularity of MMA in 2005 with the introduction of the UFC’s reality show “The Ultimate Fighter.”

    Phil Mickelson has beaten Tiger Woods the last five times they have played together in the final round.
    But never like this.
    This was a pounding at Pebble Beach. Mickelson shot a 64 on a day when no one else could do better than 67. Woods had a 75 on a day when only four players — none of whom were in contention — shot worse.

  • George Bremer.jpg George Bremer: Dunham tied to Arabians

    Pendleton Heights senior Kellen Dunham is one of three players widely considered to be the front-runners for this season’s Indiana Mr. Basketball award. The other two — Hamilton Southeastern’s Gary Harris and Park Tudor’s Yogi Ferrell — were named last week as participants in this spring’s McDonald’s All-American Game. Dunham was left out. That doesn’t kill his chances to win the state’s most coveted individual honor, but it does inextricably tie those hopes to the Arabians’ postseason fortunes.
