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 [...]
UFC 100 is in the books and what an event it was. A lot of good fights and a heck of a show from Brock Lesnar. I almost feel bad for all the other guys. As well as they may have performed, UFC 100 will be in the books with Brock as the major story. [...]
I know a lot of folks are excited about Mir – Lesnar II, but in reality the most exciting fights of the night will be the other two major fights on this card. GSP vs. Alves is going to be one heck of a fight, but I certainly look forward to Bisping vs. Henderson. It’s [...]
Brock Lesnar may be a big draw. He may be the World heavyweight champion of the UFC. But even Brock can’t stay relevant if he loses for the 2nd time to Frank Mir at UFC 100. It’s true that Brock had Mir hurt in the first fight and the ref made a big mistake, but [...]
Talk about an embarrassment. An overweight Tim Sylvia made Roy Mercer look like Fedor on steroids. He lost in less than 10 seconds, and now is firmly out of the elite MMA heavyweights group. In MMA, anyone has a punchers chance. But I still don’t understand why Tim took this fight. Now he has no [...]
It’s a shame that it took Arlovski a few fights to realize MMA is not boxing but better late than never. Andrei may have lost his shot at getting back at Fedor by getting knocked out by Brett Rogers, but thinks can change quickly in the world of MMA. Maybe a fight with the loser [...]
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 [...]
Machida proved he is the man to beat in the UFC by blowing away a game Rashad Evans. Poor Evans couldn’t touch Machida to save his life. He did land a couple of punches on Machida, and even that was surprising. But Evans was knocked down in the first round and knocked out cold in [...]
Time for predictions and my response to Mr. Cofield for picking Evans over Machida. The main event is going to be certainly exciting. You have someone who everyone love’s to hate and a guy who has bored people to death in a few of his fights just to come back and dish out a knock [...]
When you’ve got evidence like this, it’s hard to argue! Sorry Rashard, but it’d be tough to catch Machida and if you do, I suspect he has a good chin.
UFC 98 is finally here, and we are going to get to see the dream match-up between the guy who everyone loves to hate (Rashad Evans) and a Karate master who people want to see get more exciting. Nobody has been able to hit Machida, so it’d be interesting to see whether Rashad can hit [...]
Can it? Most people think so except Machida. Machida wants to entertain and if Evans comes to fight, we will be getting a nice fight. But I do think Evans will be careful with Machida which means we may need Machida to put it. I personally would love to see an entertaining fight but I [...]
Rashad Evans may be an undefeated MMA fighter, but he is certainly among the most classless individuals in the sport of MMA. His making fun of Liddell while he was knocked out will always haunt him, and it’s no wonder the crowd loves to hate this guy. And grabbing his private parts during his fight [...]
So I didn’t think much of Fedor’s victory over Aoki in their exhibition match, but Fedor showed some nifty moves and proved that he can be a handful for someone who’s not great in Jujitsu. For folks who think a Lesnar or Carwin can beat Fedor, they need to knock him out. One thing is [...]
UFC 97 started with so much promise but Anderson Silva managed to ruin the main event yet again. I am not sure what’s wrong with Silva, but he does look like someone who’s making a point to Dana White. As you know, Dana didn’t let Anderson fight with Roy Jones, and Anderson is maybe retaliating [...]
Don’t you love it when Anderson Silva lays the smack down on his opponents. Now he is getting good at selling fights too. At least he is starting to. Silva is one of the best fighters in the world but doesn’t have the star power of a Lesnar or Couture. But if he keeps this [...]
UFC 97 is upon us and we have some good match-ups on our hands. Silva should be the favorite to win against Leites. But Chuck Liddell vs. Rua is the one to watch for. The loser is probably done ever getting a title shot in the UFC, and Rua could actually be out of a [...]
Liddell vs. Rua is going to be the point of no return for both fighters. Liddell has lost 3 out his last 4 fights. And Rua couldn’t even put away Coleman until the veteran was too tired to stand up. The loser of this fight will probably have to settle for tomato cans in the [...]
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.
Talk about talking smack. Jason Guida pretty much questioned everything Bobby Lashley has done in their press conference to maybe get in his head. I don’t think it was a good idea. Bobby was close to snapping and maybe ripping his head off. I guess he’ll get his chance tomorrow.
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 [...]
Tonight, we are going to see Jackson go against Jardine, so I thought it’d be fun to show a trailer of them fighting inside UFC’s newest game. But unlike in the game, this fight shouldn’t last that long unless Jackson messes up badly. Jackon should win in the 2nd round.
Cung Le is one of the top MMA fighters in the world. It just happens that he managed to beat Frank Shamrock in a fight and made an even bigger name for himself. Now Cung Le has gone hollywood and is going to be on Tekken and a few other upcoming movies. Now, he wants [...]
I am not sure what to think of this upcoming fight. I do believe that Jackson deserved to get a title shot as he was the holder and defended it more than once. But he had to go through Silva and has to beat Jardine to get a shot at Rashad. Having said that, Jackson [...]
UFC 95 is finally over, and we can actually think about better, more exciting events. I wasn’t really impressed with the card, but Damien really put on a show by beating Sonnen so easily. And Josh losing was really surprising. I guess with Penn talking smack about GSP, we will have enough to keep us [...]
The latest episode of MMA Live is up on ESPN. Sanchez was on the show and he talked about how he is better off at 155. He thinks he is going to be bigger and faster. Now, I like Sanchez and he is the firm favorite over the overrated Joe Daddy. But he should not [...]
UFC 95 is going to be one great card. Sure. I would rather see Sanchez vs. Penn but Stevenson is a good fighter and should put up a good fight. Damien Maia’s fights are all a pleasure to watch, and this next one shouldn’t be any different. Here is the preview of this event. It’s [...]
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 [...]
James Thomspon, the guy who almost choked out Kimbo Slice before having his ear exploded, had a wild night in Canada. The guys at MMA FanHouse reported the crazy event that took place in Montreal. It seems Steve Bosse and James Thompson had decided before the fight to keep things stand up. Well, James decided [...]
I don’t usually like to post fan videos on UFC events, but UFC 98 has created so much buzz that folks are creating unofficial videos for it left and right. This one is on Mir – Lesnar II match-up, which is going to be very interesting. I thought Lesnar should’ve won the first fight. The [...]
What a fight. So much for Machida being boring. I know a lot of guys wanted to see BJ vs. GSP, but this was the fight I was most interested about, and what a finish. The video may be up for just a few moments so watch it as soon as you can.
Can anyone stop [...]
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 [...]
I’ve got to admit, Dana White has a great personality as a video-blogger. I am pretty sure this guy would’ve been a superstar in the blogging world if he was not the president of the UFC. Of course, he hates us bloggers but that doesn’t mean we don’t love him back
Dana is at [...]
What a fight by Fedor. I doubt Dana will find it easy to dismiss his knock out of Andrei Arlovski. I thought Arlovski was winning the fight but made the rookie mistake of getting overexcited. Fedor is not just anyone, and Andrei shouldn’t have tried to rub it in by trying to knock Fedor out [...]
MMA Live is back. This latest episode was more about UFC 93 and affiliction. The good news for ESPN is that they will do another UFC 91 event coverage for UFC 94. But Affliction is the show that everyone is talking about this week. Can Fedor really lose to Andrei? I really don’t think so, [...]
Rich Franklin is one of the top MMA artists in the world. At the same time, he has had too many heartbreaks in his career. His losses to Anderson Silva were devastating. Just as he was getting ready to commit to the 205 division, he loses a tough decision to Henderson. But perhaps his most [...]
Randy Couture’s pick for the UFC 94 mega fight is finally known. It’s GSP. Randy is one of the great guys in our sport, and he has done so much, but his picks often leave something to be desired. Now, I am not pulling for Penn, but I don’t think the choice is quite as [...]
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 [...]
The UFC hype machine is in action again, trying to hype up the highly anticipated Penn – GSP fight even more. BJ is talking a lot of crap before this fight, but I hope he can actually back it up and lose in a respectable fashion. I think GSP will probably knock him out but [...]
Heath Herring is one of those guys who is cursing his fortunes after he dropped his last fight to Brock Lesnar. Brock now gets to fight for the undisputed heavyweight title whereas Heath goes to the back of the line behind the likes of Kongo and Gonzaga. There are rumors that Heath may fight one [...]
Affliction 2 is finally upon us, and we are going to see some very good fights. I really don’t mind seeing Affliction succeed, but the product has a long way to go to get to the level of the UFC. My pick? Fedor. I haven’t seen anything from Arlovski that Fedor can’t nullify. They said [...]
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 [...]
What a night it was last night. I guess the happiest person in the world right now would be Brock Lesnar who wanted Frank Mir all along. But I was shocked to see Nog do nothing for the whole fight and get knocked out by Frank Mir. See the video for yourself. Can’t promise it [...]
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 [...]
Affliction press conference is up and Tito is certainly good on the microphone. Now, I got to say that Tito stumbled a couple of time with his lines, but I guess Tito is just a figher not a commentator. I wonder how much he is getting paid. Maybe he is getting more money for doing [...]
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 [...]
So much for Lashley struggling in his first MMA fight. He beat a guy who was making his debut also, but he really didn’t put the guy away. The guy must’ve been made of glass as he fell aport so easily. He is no Lesnar, but Lashley can be somebody in this sport if he [...]
MMA Live on ESPN was very interesting this week with the addition of, my pound for pound best, Miguel Torres. The dude is a beast, and he completely dominated his last opponent before knocking him out. The most interesting part of the show was the discussion of Sean Sherk and Kenny Florian being interested in [...]
What do Kimbo and Palin have in common? They both are iconic and they both have the IQ of a retarded rat. But the jury is still out on Palin as there is no real evidence on her. But Kimbo simply have no excuse for calling Japan a city. Now here is the thing. If [...]
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 [...]
Latest episode of MMA Live is now on ESPN.com. The guys talk about Couture and Chuck and their potential fourth fight. Folks, that won’t be happening. Also, Chuck won’t be moving up to heavyweight, though I think he would if Lesnar beats Nog/Mir. Couture’s best option at this point is to wait for the loser [...]
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 [...]
Latest episode of MMA live is in the books and we get to see an interesting discussion about Couture and Liddell fighting in Germany for UFC 99. I personally don’t see anything good about a 4th fight between these two legends. There are so many good match ups that can be put together, so why [...]
Dana White can certainly sell things, and it’s no different for his latest auction for the intrepid fallen heroes fund. Now, don’t be surprised if you can’t afford this item. It’s so hot it’s not even funny.
The year 2008 was a memorable year for the world of MMA. We have had great fights, great personalities, and traffic ends for a few promotions. So here is one of the favorite moments of 2008. I am a bit biased here as UFC 84 happened on my birthday, but still this was a top [...]
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 [...]
One of the not so good MMA Live’s in memory. The John Fitch controversy obviously was not covered in this episode. Also, we learn now that Carwin won’t be facing Gonzaga, which I think is ridiculous. Shane is getting tomato cans whereas Lesnar is getting former and current champs. But the good news is that [...]
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, [...]
I don’t know why this is still available, but catch it while you can. I do encourage you to pay for the full fight if you afford it. It’s always nice to support the UFC and the fighters. Awesome second round by Lesnar.
I thought the main event at UFC 91 was pretty good but it turned out fans had a more exciting fight after the fight was finished and Lesnar was announced as the new champ. Man! This fight among fans was really serious. I almost felt bad for the lady who got caught in the middle [...]
Dana’s lastest Blog entry is up. BJ Penn doesn’t hesitate to make fun of the “biggest fight in the history.” He duly notes that BJ vs. George is the biggest fight. I love Dana going to fighters and congratulating them on their fights. This guy is hands on.
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 [...]
Randy Couture and his wife belittled Brock before the fight. Randy talked about how he wanted to avoid “peeing” in his pants before his first big fight. Kim Couture called Lesnar “glory hungry” and a rookie who is going to get it from the veteran. But when it was all said and done, Lesnar was [...]
Another awesome video by Dana White. He really does pre-event coverages justice with his vlogs. The best question was asked when Kenny was asked about his potential role as Randy’s son in the next scorpion king. Priceless.
Foxnews had a roundtable on UFC 91 and the mega fight between Randy and Brock. But folks gave Lesnar a hard time for getting a title shot. Dana did his best to defend the fight. Having said that, I still think these folks didn’t give Lesnar much respect. I think Lesnar will win this fight [...]
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’s pre UFC 91 adventures continue with another episode of a day in life of Dana. OK. Maybe it’s not that dramatic, but Dana talks about the new UFC game and comments on the features of this new game.
Dana’s got started with his vlogging again for UFC 91. I really like his video blogs as it shows us fans some very interesting things about the business. His latest vlog is up.
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 [...]
Yet another count down video for the super fight at UFC 91. This Saturday can’t come fast enough. Let’s see if Brock has what it takes to become the next heavyweight champion.
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 [...]
Latest episode of MMA Live is on. It’s all about UFC 91 and getting ready for the biggest fight in the UFC history. Can’t wait for that fight.
Couture was on the show with the Inside MMA folks and as always he looked pretty confident about his chances of beating Lesnar. That kind of confidence can sometimes fool most people. I do give Randy a good chance to win this but it’s not a 60-40 fight. It’s more a 51-49 fight the way [...]
Sherdog.com has a video interview up with Chuck Liddell where he talks about his loss to Rashad Evans. He obviously wants to fight, and he doesn’t blame his coach. But he mentions he needs to get rid of his bad habits. Interesting interview.
I love the MMA Live show. It goes over the latest developments in the industry and manages to put you to sleep at the same time. While I have found MMA Live to be an overrated show, the Q&A section of the program is my favorite part, especially that episode when folks picked Lesnar to [...]
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.
I don’t know about you, but I actually like Dana’s videos a lot. I wish he did it everyday but I guess his life is not that interesting to have a video blog on everyday. Or maybe he just doesn’t care… I like how he applauded Santos for knocking out Werdum.
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 [...]
I personally don’t think MMA is too violent for children as they shouldn’t be watching it until at least they are somewhat old enough to understand the sport. But here is a video with Frank Shamrock and this issue obviously comes up.
I think Dana White did a great disservice for Elite XC by not having this video up sooner (before they went out of business). That’s how you pump up fighters before a fight not by telling them not to go the ground. “Don’t Suck” sounds motivating to me. But the main event did suck at [...]
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.
Here is an interesting video on Randy Couture when he talks about his defeats. It’s very strange video as Randy managed to lose me a couple of times in like 4 minutes. But it’s still worth hearing especially when he talks about Martin Luther King.
ESPN Live is one of the must watch shows if you are a MMA fan. Now, I think the commentary could be better but the fact that you get guys like Frank Mir talk about their fellow fighters. This episode is about UFC 90.
Dana White did look real happy with Elite XC’s downfall, and he had some tough words about the promotion. I still think that Elite XC helped the sport as well. But Jared Shaw and his antics may have turned off some folks. Kimbo will probably be back after going to Japan, so we will see [...]
It finally happened. Just like a magic show that gets irrevelant as soon as people know how the magician does his trick, Elite XC became unraveled as soon as Kimbo was exposed as someone who has some knockout power but very weak MMA game. Now folks like Jake Shield and Gina Carano are out of [...]
So much for Lesnar behaving with his ESPN appearances. He got upset when the interviewer suggested that he may be on steroids. I know it’s rude to end the interview like that but I thought he had to do it to defend all the hard work that he is putting in. We have seen the [...]
So Chuck Liddell went on TSN and decided to give his two cents on who would win the match up everyone is waiting for and he put his money on Couture. He picked the guy over Fedor and Lesnar. So in light of his comments, I have found this video that shows how ignorant Chuck [...]
So we finally are here: UFC 89, Leben vs. Bisping is tonight on SpikeTV (if you are in the U.S.). It’s going to be a good night. The fight I am looking forward to is Jardine Vera. But I think Leben will probably pull it off against Bisping. Vera should be able to survive Jardine, [...]
This is an old video, but the fight would be an interesting one for Chuck Liddell. This could be a big money fight for Chuck, and a win would make him advance in his comeback trail. Having said that, this fight will probably never happen. So what about it? You guys think Kurt Angel will [...]
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!
ESPN’s weekly show on MMA is finally up. I am personally waiting for Inside MMA on HDnet which you can catch online too. I want to see what Bus will have to say after he said Kimbo is better than Lesnar.
Another interview with Seth after the Kimbo win. He talks about wanting to fight Tito and also how he knew he had Kimbo beat. I don’t know who this guy think he is but I don’t think he is good enough to beat a past-prime Tito. Having said that, I think he may get his [...]
Randy watching Kimbo? Yup! The video is up. Randy was kind to Kimbo saying that the loss is going to prove what kind of man he is. But in general most of these guys looked shocked at first but pretty happy after the fight.
More crying from CBS and Elite XC. Wow! How can Kimbo become a world champion? If you mean beating Ken Shamrock for the Elite XC heavyweight belt, then Kimbo might do it, but I mean it just makes me want to puke when a guy gets a lot of money and doesn’t back it up.
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?
Here is the video from this fight. It won’t be up for much longer I assume. What an upset or was it? Is Elite XC in trouble already?
This video is a bit old but it’s funny how Kimbo and mommy Slice talk about filling hospital rooms with patients. Enjoy!
Not much to this video, but the guys talk about how MMA is getting famous and how Elite XC can be great in the future.
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.
Kimbo is still talking about David Blaine and how he gave him a good one. I hope that’s enough for his fight against Shamrock (based on Shamrock’s past fights he should go down easily). But we will see.
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.
Finally, this piece of video that aired during Fight Night is up. I like the teaser as it makes the fight seem like a very big deal. And I like the marketing aspect of it as well: Heavyweight Champ vs. NCAA heavyweight champ. It’d be very interesting. By the way, you may still be able [...]
What do Zuluzinho and Tim Sylvia have in common? They both lost to Fedor. They both did so in under 40 seconds, and they both didn’t mount any real offense. And did I say, they are both huge? Check out this little gem.
The first part of the fight is up on YouTube. Such a disappointing finish for Overeem. Like always watch it before these guys remove the videos.
Here is a preview of UFC 90. It maybe too early for that but you may have heard that Anderson Silva will be retiring next year. It’s tough to see him go, but If I had made all the money in the world and dominated my weight class like he has, there would be no [...]
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.
Mirko is one bad dude. God bless his soul. In this video, Mirko talks about Overseem and his trash talk, but it does seem as though he is planning to whoop some behind when it comes fight time. I wish Mirko could make a comback in the UFC, but that doesn’t seem to be on [...]
The finish by Rashad was absolutely vicious. I really felt bad for Liddell. I know he is a tough guy, and he is used to knocking people out like that but he was just devastated by that punch. Rashad’s showboating was much worse than Lesnar’s. I don’t know why he gets a free pass on [...]
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.
Dana White’s latest blog is not up. I do expect him to talk about Evan Tanner, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t. But the latest available vlog shows how much work goes behind the scenes of each and every UFC event. More importantly, is this Dana guy on some drug or what
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 [...]
You have probably heard the news conference that Dana White had with Lesnar and Couture. Now a video of that phone conference is up. Check it out as it has some very funny moments.
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 [...]
UFC 88 is almost upon us in a year that has been very exciting for the MMA fans to say the least. But with Affliction II, Jackson, Anderson, and Brock returning later this year, there is plenty of life left in this year as far as Mixed Martial Arts is concerned. UFC 88 previews are [...]
I first saw this video on best damn knockouts ever. The guy just gets dropped by the punch and I think he got a concussion or something for his troubles. I thought it was funny and sad at the same time to see him moan like that after the fight. It doesn’t look as if [...]
In a move that was a reminder of Gabriel Gonzaga’s head kick against Mirco, Angel Mentos, an Taekwondo contender at Beijing Olympics, kicked the referee for the match for being too harsh. Unfortunately for Mentos, he was banned for life immediately but one needs to wonder if he can look for a job in the [...]
The first promo for UFC 88 is up as Liddell will be facing Evans for possibly the right to face Forrest Griffin. I personally think Machida should get the first shot but I doubt Griffin can actually defend the title. He got extremely lucky with Jackson, and it’d be tough for him to hang with [...]
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 [...]
Finally got my hands on the final round of this amazing fight. I thought GSP shoud’ve finished Fitch in the first round, but the fact that he let it get to the final round added more drama to it. The fight was one-sided but you had the feeling that GSP may be denied with a [...]
Lesnar’s interview after the fight with Heath Herring is up. A little bit arrogant but I guess anyone who has this much success after only 3 fights should be proud.
Now this was a heck of a fight from Brock Lesnar. He should have finished Heath in the first but I give him credit for winning in only his 3rd MMA match. Is Kongo next?
Georges St-Pierre vs Jon Fitch’s Press Conference is up now. This is going to be one hell of a fight, and I wouldn’t put it past Fitch to somehow beat St-Pierre though I am still not sure how that scenario would work out.
UFC has posted the video of weigh-ins for the UFC 87: Seek and Destroy. It’s going to be very exciting today. Can’t wait!
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.
It’s finally up. I don’t think these guys are doing a good job hyping the fight but it’s good to hear that they believe it’s a dangerous fight for Lesnar. I think this is really the last chance saloon for Brock. If Brock loses, he is pretty much done in UFC. Probably a 1st knockout [...]
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 [...]
Josh Barnett post fight interview against Rezzo is up now. He basically says that he was not happy having knocked out Pedro because Pedro has a beautiful soul. He was also asked about fighting Fedor, but unfortunately for him, Arlovski will be taking the first crack at Fedor.
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 [...]
Fedor’s post fight after his Tim Sylvia beat down is finally up. He talks about celebration after the fight and Randy and a potential matchup with him.
The 2nd part of Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin post fight conference. Poor James Irvin though. He got the floor cleaned up with his back.
Maybe a little bit late, but here is the first interview after Silva’s win over Irvin.
UFC 87 is coming up and we have a bunch of good fights on our hands. There are basically three cards that I am looking forward.
GSP vs. Fitch: Fitch is good but GPS is better. It’s as simple as that. Fitch can definitely cause an upset if GSP underestimates him, but somehow I don’t think [...]
The video quality is not good but it’s good to hear that Tim realizes that he was over his head.
If you didn’t see the fight last night, just like Fedor’s fight, you didn’t miss much. I mean it was all great for the whole 1 minue that it lasted, but Irvin was overmatched and now his career is really in jeoprady. He took a big risk by taking this fight, and if he lost [...]
Similar to their first fight but this time Josh landed the devastating punch to knock out Pedro. Poor Pedro didn’t know where he was for a couple of minutes after. Josh Barnett is a good fighter, but I am not sure how he can trouble Fedor if Fedor fights like he did against Sylvia. Maybe [...]
Did you miss the Fedor Tim Silvia fight at Affliction banned? Well, you didn’t miss much. It was a great fight. The whole 36 seconds of it! Fedor just destroyed Tim Sylvia with punishing punches and then choked him out. Tim Silvia showed why he is so overrated, but if Fedor does what he did [...]
A summary of the video that was played last night on Spike TV about the fight night card. James Irvin seems to believe that he has a legitimate chance to upset Anderson Silva. Unless he throws a lucky punch or Anderson is not on his A-game, this fight should end with a win for Silva. [...]
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.
Now this is a gem of a video. Tim Sylvia on a blind date! Now I believe this video was taken after Tim Sylvia’s loss to Frank Mir when he broke his arm but nevertheless it was a funny video.
If anyone knows about fighting Anderson Silva, it’s Rich Franklin. Having lost twice to Anderson, Franklin knows that Irvin is a heavy underdog against Anderson Silva. Can Irvin surprise Silva? He might. But this is Anderson’s fight to lose. If he fights the best he can, I don’t think Irvin has much of a chance.
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 [...]
Donald Trump had a chance to talk about Affliction Banned and MMA in general. He did talk a lot about Mike Tyson and Tito, but overall he claimed that he has the money and he is a “rating machine.” Andrei Arlovski was also on the phone for a while talking about his excitement about the [...]
Similar to the NY conference with Tim Sylvia basically saying the same things about Fedor and his chances against him. I personally don’t give Sylvia much of a chance but he might surprise us all.
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 [...]
I have never seen get knocked out with this strange technique. I am not even sure if it’s doable 100% of the time. But nevertheless an Amazon backward flying kick!
Affliction banned press conference in NY was captured on YouTube. Tim Sylvia talked up his chances of beating Fedor though I am not sure how that’s possible unless Fedor is severely injured (rumors are that he is injured but shouldn’t be that bad).
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.
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 a chance to play a role, but if they go out of business he may want to beg Dana to take him back.
His latest interview is up, and he still is not sure about his next opponent. Funny how things don’t work out they way you expect them too…
