So Tito and Dana have made up and Brock Lesnar’s days of being the baddest villain in the UFC seem to be over. Now I don’t really understand how you can talk so much smack and then kiss and make up, but Dana and Tito seem to have done it. That still shouldn’t mean Tito [...]
Rashad may not be popular against the fans, but he certainly showed that what most of us have thought about him was certainly true. In his post Machida interview, Evans talked about how he felt uncomfortable as a champ and how he underestimated Machida. By listening to him, you may think that he is actually [...]
Urijah Faber is one of the most talented fighters in the world. He has dominated his weight class and has had everyone’s number except Mike Brown. Mike Brown was an underdog against Faber in their first fight, but he literally “smashed” Faber. And I have not seen anything seen to suggest that he won’t do [...]
Quentin Jackson certainly knows how to entertain. And he is still upset about Rashad Evan getting in his face after the fight with Jardine. Jackson took time to bash fans who call him scared of Machida. He also took a shot at Evans for talking during the fight with Machida. Jackson is not “scared of [...]
Dana White has become the center of an unwanted storm in the MMA world these days. The sharks are out to get him, and they pounced on a comment that he made about a reporter. While I don’t condone what Dana said (using slurs), I still don’t think it’s justified to blame the guy for [...]
Cung Le is still without a fight, but of course he is a busy man. He is filming his movies and waiting for Frank Shamrock to call him out. That fight is going to be exciting especially after what happened in their first fight. So let’s hope Frank can take care of Diaz.
Frank Mir is one of the cockiest fighters I have ever seen in the Octagon. He may look like a nice guy, but he does have his arrogant side. And the funny thing is, he never ceases to amaze me with his outrageous comments. He has talked about in the past about breaking people’s legs [...]
It seems I wasn’t the only one surprised by how easily Florian beat Joe Stevenson. Joe is a black belt but he does make a lot of mistakes for a black belt. But I wouldn’t dare call him a white belt. Diego Sanchez just has. Now, Diego is talking a lot of crap, but I [...]
Tim Sylvia was at the top of the world. He was with a puncher’s chance of upsetting Fedor. He was dubbed as the toughest guy Fedor had yet to face. But after that under one minute destruction by Fedor, he was off the 2nd Affliction card. Now, if Affliction 3 happens, Tim will probably get [...]
Talk about not knowing what you want. Michael Bisping seems to be unsure who he wants to face next. He talks about wanting to fight Rich Franklin but then talks about Henderson being his favorite fight. I do think that Dan Henderson would be a better match up for Bisping as Franklin would beat Bisping [...]
Frank Mir has been talking a whole lot of crapola after his win over Nog, and who could blame him. The guy was a heavy underdog against Nog, and he dominated the fight. But for him to come out and claim that Lesnar can’t get out of the first round (as he has in previous [...]
I don’t know what you think of Wanderlei Silva as a fighter, but he simply has an amazing spirit. After getting viciously knocked out by Rampage Jackson at UFC 92, he talked about how he wanted to get Jackson back, and how life moves on. I wish we all could learn from this man to [...]
Got to give it up for Andrei Arlovski. He seems to be more dedicated to making his fight with Fedor a success. But can he avoid a takedown by Fedor? I doubt it, and if he is taken down, he will get submitted. I hope Andrei wins. I like him, and it’s about time someone [...]
Randy Couture shows why he has a great future as a commentator in the MMA world. He breaks down the fights for the UFC 92. I still think Rashad will beat Griffin, and I pick Jackson over Silva. Can I go 0-2?
Forrest Griffin, the light heavyweight champ, is one of the coolest guys in the sport. He is honest about his will to fight and make money, and he doesn’t seem to have any hesitance to fight friends in the Octagon. Now, he claims that fighting is so much fun folks need to jump in if [...]
It seems Randy gets wiser as he ages. To tell you the truth, he is one of the wisest folks we have around in the MMA world.Randy gets the fact that a fourth fight with Chuck Liddel is not good for anyone. His interview with the “cage writer” is here.
Rampage does certainly get under Silva’s skin. This time Rampage has some tough works for Silva. He talks about how he means business, and Silva won’t be “lucky” this time around. He also talked about how Silva should celebrate Christmas and be happy with his family as he won’t be happy on December 28th. Rampage [...]
Forrest Griffin is loved by MMA fans around the world, but he is facing some bad dude in Sugar Evans. Sugar Evans is a guy who can’t seem to get a break from the fans, but he was certainly exciting in knocking out Chuck. Now, Forrest is preparing for Rashad, and while folks are giving [...]
Is Petruzelli gay? He says not! He has denied being gay for the upmteen’s time. Seth does cut a promo on Kimbo. He says he was confident he would beat Kimbo, and he is going to do it again, whether here in Miami or Japan. He shouldn’t be that confident though. He is an OK [...]
An interesting video in which the Fedor folks talk about how they want to meet Dana White, and the invitation is for him to go to Fedor’s hometown for talks. But the whole argument is very stupid. Why would Dana White want to hire Fedor and be stuck with M1 Global in the process. It’s [...]
Here is a recent interview with Bill Goldberg, one of the most popular pro wrestlers in history. Bill talks about his match against Brock Lesnar and how both of them felt dissed by the WWE. Now, I normally don’t pay too much attention to interviews by pro wrestlers, but Goldberg proves what we all have [...]
I am glad that Chuck Liddell is logical enough to know that a fight with Anderson Silva or Couture would not make sense. Nobody wants to see Randy go against Chuck for the millionth time. Anderson Silva is just too dangerous for Chuck, and is just a bad match up. I would give the Couture [...]
Dan Henderson’s interview on all UFC things is up. He again mentions Brock Lesnar and also talks about his fight with Rich Franklin, which should be a good one.
Dan Henderson was very clear about who he thought would win the fight between Lesnar and Couture. Now that his pick has lost, he has taken upon himself to rip into Lesnar and claim him to be diminishing the title. Here is a thought: why not have Dan fight Lesnar to see if he can [...]
BJ Penn talks about how he was rooting for GSP against Jon Fitch. Penn looks very focused as if he wants to fight GSP right now. He says, wrestlers should not get easy points for takedowns (!?). I still feel GSP is a better athlete and fighter than BJ, and him winning will make it [...]
A great interview on Canadian TV between BJ and GSP. GSP talks about his respect for BJ but he wants to be the best. I still don’t think it’s fair to both divisions for these guys to fight. I guess Florian could move up and fight Thiago Alves and be the number one contender on [...]
Couture still does not give Lesnar too much credit. He did explain that he was fighting his fight, and to some point I agree with that. I also felt bad for the guy losing a tooth. I mean you lose a fight, you get those hammer fists, you lose your title and $200,000 win bonus, [...]
So much for Couture actually being classy and gracious. He and his wife have attacked Brock at any chance, and he did yet again. First he called Brock lucky. Then he added that Fedor would rip Brock apart. While Fedor has a good chance of beating Brock these days, I think Brock would fare better [...]
Another great interview with both guys about their preparations and their expectations. Lesnar talks about how he has no pressure on him. Now, I am not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. This guy has a lot to lose but he says he’s got nothing to lose. So let’s hope he [...]
Dana is going to overdrive to push the Lesnar-Couture fight. Dana knows that the economy may have some effect on the buy rate but I guess he is optimistic about the chances of his company going over $1M buys.
Dana talked about Lesnar Couture match up but did take time to take shots at Tito [...]
Dana talks about about Lesnar with ESPN. He talks about Brock Lesnar’s mood and him walking out of that E:60 interview. Is it just me or has that gotten more attention from the media for this fight? Brock is an amazing promoter of his fights. He talks a lot of trash. And he does things [...]
Brock Lesnar and Couture were at hand for Mike & Mike show to discuss their UFC 91 fight. This fight can’t come up soon enough. Of course, the issue of deranged ears always come up with folks who are not really veteran MMA followers. Couture is as always the nice guy, but Brock doesn’t broadcast [...]
Randy has some tough words for Lesnar. He said in his latest interview that Lesnar has not done anything to worry Couture. Well, I am not sure if underestimating Lesnar is something Randy would want to do.
Randy also addresses rumors that Dana is trying to feed him to Lesnar. I have to agree with this [...]
Couture has been really talkative about his fight with Lesnar. Well, if you consider the fact that Lesnar doesn’t talk at all. Couture is a team player but Lesnar seems to be into himself, and I can respect that. Lesnar is his own man and I hope he doesn’t go Cote on us.
Now I don’t know if Cote was really drunk, but he sure as hell seemed like he was drunk. He basically claimed that he f***ed up Silva, which I am sure it’s true if you count Silva’s knees getting f’d up with Cote’s head. And he wants a rematch. I thought Silva would destroy him [...]
Now, I don’t want to make an argument that Lesnar is more polite than Fedor. That’s just not going to happen. But the guys at YouTube are cool enough to put together a segment that compares Lesnar’s attitude with Fedor’s. By the way, I like Lesnar’s much better as he shows he is hungry and [...]
Well. I think Dana is a bit overboard. I think Elite XC did some good things. But of course, the way Kimbo thing was handled was a joke, and Jared Shaw got to be the most unprofessional sports official anywhere.
So it’s true. Anderson Silva will not fight in MMA after his contract with the UFC is done. I am not sure if Roy Jones Jr. will hang round for another year for Anderson to retire so they can get on with their boxing match. I am not even sure if Zuffa will let that [...]
Goodrigde talked about how Kimbo has been great for the sport, but then called him a big pussy for losing to Seth. He did say that Seth was a great punch artist with the knock down of Bob Sapp. It’d be interesting to see Kimbo’s reaction. “Sounds like a challenge, dawg,” aint it?
Now this is one exciting fight. I think Thiago should be able to win it but you never know. I know Diego wants to fight BJ Penn but that wouldn’t happen even if BJ beat GSP. I personally want to see GSP or BJ vs. Anderson Silva before the mouthwatering Anderson vs. Wanderlei fight. Let’s [...]
Dana White is one sick guy. He certainly knows how to kick you in the gut when you are down. But he has some good points about Elite XC trying to fix that MMA match between Seth and Kimbo.
With John McCain hammering away at Barack Obama’s character this past week, it is Kim Couture who may have had the biggest character attack of the week by claiming that Jared Shaw tried to see Gina naked when she was trying to make weight! I am not sure what to think of this, but of [...]
If you are not familiar with Bobby Lashly, he is a former WWE champion and a decorated wrestler (just like Lesnar). He is also getting started in the MMA. He talks about his first fight with MMA Rated. I don’t know if this guy is the next Lesnar, but he’d be better than Kimbo!
Tito talks about how exciting Kimbo’s fight is going to be. And he also talks about Rosa who was supposed to fight the “modern day Rocky.” I bet even he couldn’t have guessed this outcome. Kimbo losing in 14 seconds to a lightheavyweight.
Frank Shamrock’s video after Kimbo loss is up. He confirms that he wanted to fight Kimbo, and he thought after the fight that Ken would’ve kicked Kimbo’s butt. But Frank did not say why CBS thought Frank Shamrock vs. Kimbo wasn’t a good idea. I tell you why: because Kimbo can’t beat Frank Shamrock even [...]
Man. These guys at Elite XC don’t know how to show a poker face. Everyone from top to bottom looked like they had lost their parents and loved ones once Kimbo lost. Jared Shaw even suggested that Kimbo camp may protest the result. Can they do that? Erase the loss?
A great interview with Ken Shamrock is up on Sherdog.com. He talks about how he hated the Ultimate Fighter, and how he is going to prove once and for all that he is not done. Very interesting indeed but I still give the edge to Kimbo.
Gina Carano’s appearance on Craig Ferguson show is up. Gina has some interesting things to say about MMA and how it’s similar to sex…
An interesting interview with Randy Couture on Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock. Randy Couture talks about how he thinks Kimbo is gifted and can be a top player in the game. He also talks about what it takes for Kimbo to get some credibility by beating Shamrock.
Randy Couture’s latest interview about his fight with Lesnar and potential fight with Fedor is up. I am glad that he calls Dana on his irrational comments as Dana keeps claiming that he didn’t say anything bad about Couture (he did call him “gay”).
Kimbo’s trainer talks about how Kimbo has 6 kids but is so dedicated to leave them behind for 8 to 10 weeks to train. He also talks about how Kimbo is good for the sport and how Randy Couture and Liddell didn’t fight people like Ken in their 4th fights. I don’t know. But fighting [...]
Interesting 20 second interview. Dana says that Ken is past his prime, which he is, and he may still beat Kimbo, that’s true as well. Can’t wait for the fight to actually happen.
Another interview with Mirko Cro Cop about his future. He talks about how he wants to get a shot at the title. I want to see him in the UFC again, but I am not sure if he has what it takes to make it there. He lost badly to Kongo and Gonzaga. But he [...]
Here is a little interview that I found on YouTube with Couture talking about his legal battles, and his fight with Brock Lesnar. He talks about Brock’s strengths and athleticism, but his main focus seems to be on fighting Fedor. That’s not going to make Brock happy.
P.S. If you haven’t got your UFC 91 tickets [...]
I got to give the props to the good folks at AOL Sports for digging up this gem, even though it’s a bit dated. Antonio, talks about how he doesn’t care about other fights and how he is the champ. He also picked Anderson Silva over Fedor (surprised?).
There is an interesting video on a Q&A session that was done with Matt Hughes. He talks about his antics with Tim Silvia, upcoming fight with Matt Serra, and some of his losses. Check it out.
The video of Couture, Lesnar on ESPN is finally up. I think a lot of people missed it as their ESPN appearance was really announced too late for most of us. Either way, here is the video. Lesnar is cocky like always. I hope it works out for him.
The fourth part of Randy Couture’s interview with fight magazine is up and he talks about various fighters in a quick fire fashion. Check it out. By the way, we have launched MMA Samurai, so check it out!
Third part of couture’s interview is now up. Very interesting interview and he talks about a variety of issues during this one to one interview.
Here is the second part of Randy Couture’s interview with Fightsport Magazine. Randy mentioned yesterday that he will be weighing about 230 for the fight night with Lesnar. That would be very interesting as Lesnar will be close to 300 pounds! This is going to an extremely interesting match up and one would think that [...]
I am sure you have heard the news today that Randy Couture is coming back to the UFC to fight Brock Lesnar with the possibility of a Fedor fight in the cards now. Here is an interview that Couture had with Fightsport Magazine and he talks about a variety of topics including his thoughts on [...]
I had personally not seen this interview with Fedor. He talks about the possibility of fighting Randy and also talks about Brock Lesnar! He says Brock would be a worthy opponent which is a big surprise as Brock is not in his league just yet. The good news is that both are young and maybe [...]
Poor Brock gets so much attention from the media that he can’t stay modest. I thought he fought a great fight for a guy in his 3rd ever MMA fight but the finish could’ve been better. He should have finished Heath in the first round but he’ll learn. Can’t do this mistake against a Gonzaga [...]
Brock Lesnar’s interview before his fight against Heath Herring is up. He talks about how he plans to win the fight and every fight is must win for him. Heath is a dangerous opponent for anyone but especially against Brock who is a little bit green at this point. It’s going to be exciting nevertheless.
Heath Herring talked about his match against Lesnar, and thought he had a good chance of beating a “green” Lesnar. He said he has been training with a new boxing coach and has practiced stand up defense. I think he has a good chance to beat Lesnar but it’s not like 70-30 kind of thing. [...]
Another Josh Barnett interview after affliction banned is up. Boy this guy does a lot of interviews and talks a lot of smack. He did win though as he promised. I can’t wait to see who he fights. He know Tito is in for the October Affliction event, so it’s going to be another great [...]
Another interesting interview with Tim Sylvia after he got beat by Fedor in 36 seconds. Tim was broken up, edgy, and was crying at the end of interview.
I know Tim wants to be the best really bad but he needs to realize that as long as he gives his best effort, he should have nothing [...]
Latest interview with Josh Barnett and his match against Pedro at Affliction “banned.” There have been rumors that Josh is not happy about being on the undercard but somebody has to. He addresses it in this video. He is by far my favorite fighting personality. He might get his shot at Fedor after all.
Rampage thought that he won the fight. I thought it was a draw at best. But Rampage must have been really upset about the decision as he has gone on road rage today and has been arrested. Is he doing this to get released from the UFC now that it seem Chuck will get the [...]
Now this is not a new video, but Kurt Angle, the former WWE and Olympics Champion, has stated several times that he could beat the tops guys in MMA easily. Chuck’s reaction to Kurt’s rant was really funny. Prediction? Chuck predicted at the time that he would hit Angle “a lot.” Your thoughts? Can Kurt [...]
Dana white went on the record after UFC 86 where Jackson was upset by Forrest Griffin. Dana explained that in his opinion Forrest won the fight. He also took shots at Affliction and EliteXC.
So Tito and Dana have made up and Brock Lesnar’s days of being the baddest villain in the UFC seem to be over. Now I don’t really understand how you can talk so much smack and then kiss and make up, but Dana and Tito seem to have done it. That still shouldn’t mean Tito is worthy of a UFC spot. Do I want to see Tito fight? Yes. But I don’t want him get his head smashed. And Tito’s badass reputation is going to take a big hit as he has kissed Dana’s butt at this point. Tito has realized that nobody can offer him anything close to what the UFC can, so that’s probably why he is come back. Too bad it all came out so pro-wrestlish.
