UFC 106 Predictions

Jason Dent vs George Sotiropoulos -Sotiropoulos is more talented and a giant Lightweight. He also doesn't have a terrible nickname like Jason "Dynamite" Dent. I don't need anything else to make up my mind. -Sotiropoulos Wins by 1st Round TKO Luiz Cane vs Antonio...

Ufclesnar_eeec
According to WCCO-Minneapolis, Brock Lesnar has diverticulitis, which is a digestive disease involving the formation of pouches on the outside of the colon. From everything I've read, the usual course of treatment is "colon rest". The patient eats a low-fiber diet to...

Gomi Flirting With The UFC

Former Pride Lightweight Champion Takanori Gomi is in the United States and in talks with the UFC. I'd love to see him sign, but until it happens, I'm not getting my hopes up. Gomi thinks very highly of himself and expects a hefty contract. The UFC thinks even higher of themselves...

UFC 105 Recap

Brandon Vera has no one to blame but himself for losing the fight. He repeatedly put himself into poor position and allowed Couture to push him into the cage (Usually by swinging wildly following a break by the referee. A better idea might have been to circle towards the center...

UFC 105 Predictions

Denis Kang vs Michael Bisping -The only reason I'm taking Bisping is because I cannot stand Denis Kang fans. They act like he's Anderson Silva and we should all bow down to his greatness. I'm not sure why this false aura surrounds him. He's a good fighter who had a...

11/13 News

Mma_may_20_b419
Still not sure how I feel about the possibility of Matt Hughes facing Renzo Gracie at UFC 109. Hughes is one of my favorite fighters. His comeback wins amaze me on so many levels. There's part of me that feels like he could still be a somewhat viable contender in the Welterweight...

I'm Looking For An Intern

At the very least, I'm looking for someone to write daily MMA news round-ups. Literally 1-2 sentences for each item with a link to the story. If you do that well, there's a chance I might let you write longer pieces. You should know up front that I'm a complete psycho and...

Strikeforce Resolves Davis/Miller Situation

Mike Afromowitz of Strikeforce got back to me today and the promotion has made good on their promise to resolve the Davis/Miller situation. For anyone who does not know, Deray Davis and Mark Miller were scheduled to fight on Saturday night's preliminary card, however, due to time...

Fedor Out 4-6 Months

According to Scott Coker via the LA Times, Fedor's injured thumb will keep him out 4-6 months. The injury includes a fracture and tendon damage. This is pretty much to be expected after Fedor fights. He almost always sustains a hand injury from ramming his fist into his opponent...

Some Advice For Strikeforce

Ifl_chicago_weighin_6377
I'll continue saying it until they listen to me...Pat Miletich should be an announcer for all of Strikeforce's major events. The fact he is passed over for Frank Shamrock boggles my mind. Honestly, Frank Shamrock isn't even that well known. Most casual fans probably...

Strikeforce Recap

Fedor/Rogers Thoughts

-I'm very surprised by the amount of people who feel like Fedor did not look great last night. Ten minutes after the fight, I had three emails telling me how it's now obvious that Brock Lesnar would destroy him. I got a totally different feeling watching his victory over Brett...

Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers Picks

Werdum vs Silva-Werdum came in 14 lbs heavier than his last fight in August. This worries me. Silva is a bigger and can wear down Werdum, if he's not in the best condition. On pure skill, I'd give it to Werdum, but the conditioning thing swings it to Silva for me. -Silva Wins...

Fight Camp 360 Thoughts

Other than the horrible title, it was very well done. Definitely better than "UFC Primetime", which felt forced. "Fight Camp 360" did a solid job of promoting the fight without being melodramatic. The title, though, is about as bad as it gets. I think we all...

So Kimbo Lost

I don't blame Nelson for his approach. What a lot of fans do not understand is that competing on The Ultimate Fighter forces you to fight with little turnaround time. Nelson is a favorite to win the show and probably has to if he ever wants to be a UFC mainstay. He doesn't...

Rampage Jackson Retires From MMA

Rampage
"The UFC has done a lot for me but I think I have done more for them. The UFC bought WFA to get my contract & they saved my life, so I felt loyal to them. They pushed me into a fight with Chuck Liddel even when I clearly stated I wasn't ready to fight for the belt because...
