Irish Whip Fighting: UFC Main Card Updates

About The Name

Many of our readers wonder why our name doesn't have "UFC" or "MMA" in it. We think that too many sites begin or end with those acronyms (one of the main reasons we're such good pals with Martial Base). Truth be told, IWF started as a wrestling and MMA site, and the "Irish Whip" is one of wrestling's most hard-hitting moves. We also thought that a "whip" could be another name for biting, on-point commentary, the same commentary we hope to provide here. The name stuck, we couldn't change, and well...we just like being different than all the rest. Providing quality insights, no more or less news than you need to know, and the absolute best interviews on the web (seriously, how do we get all those guys? -- Liddell, Henderson, Ken Shamrock twice each), we like to think we're doing a pretty good job.
