Henderson could fight in December
Bubba the Love Sponge mentioned on his Sirius Satellite Radio show today that he ran into PRIDE welterweight champion Dan Henderson during a weekend trip to Las Vegas. According to Bubba, Henderson indicated that he could be fighting in the UFC again as early as December. While Henderson did not say whether it was possible he’d be fighting at UFC 79 on Dec. 29, the only other UFC show scheduled... [Read More...]
Airing out some dirty laundry
I didn’t want to have to do this publicly but this method is my only recourse. Last spring I was approached by an editor for the UK MMA magazine “Fighters.” There’s at least one other major MMA magazine in the UK with a similar title so to make sure there is no confusion, the editor of “Fighters” is a guy by the name of Paul Clifton. Paul recruited me and made all... [Read More...]
Bisping vs. Evans: Title Implications?
In the preview for UFC 78 on UFC.com, Dana White states that the main event between Michael Bisping and Rashad Evans will move the winner into the top 5 light heavyweights. How? Who has Bisping or Evans beat to gain them this position and a potential title shot? “The Count” has had four UFC fights against the bloated Josh Haynes, the inept Eric Schafer, Elvis Sinosic and Matt Hamill. Surely... [Read More...]

Site News: Quick Update
I will be gone for most of the day at the South Jersey Grappling Championships (by the way, Wilson Reis won the no Gi pro division yesterday) to see my head instructor from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu United, Jared Weiner, compete in a Superfight. Hopefully they’ll be enough female competitors for my wife to compete as well. I will have access to e-mail so I will try and keep up with them today but will... [Read More...]
Interesting thought…
This is probably a pointless article, but I just thought it seemed pretty interesting. We all know Fedor has a near faultless 27-1 record. Fewer people know that the lone blemish on Emeliankeno’s record was against an ex-UFC and Pride veteran named Tsuyoshi Kohsaka. Fedor was stopped due to a pretty severe cut at 17 seconds of the first round. The cut was opened by a standing elbow delivered... [Read More...]
Edgar vs. Griffin @ UFC 67 on UFC WiRED Sat. 10/27
Tonight’s UFC WiRED is a must watch. On the show tonight: Fight of the year candidate from UFC 67: Frankie Edgar vs. Tyson Griffin. You’re now seeing both of these 155-ers on pay per views and this fight is a major reason. Back and forth wrestling and punching throughout, and at the very end of the 3rd round, Griffin almost snaps Edgar’s knee in half, but Frankie refuses to tap.... [Read More...]

ShoXC 10/26 Thoughts
By Adam Morgan Where was Mauro? We got Al Bernstein? Are you kidding me? This guy wouldn’t know an armbar from a kneebar if he was looking at the two side by side. He’s a boxing guy and it showed. Quadros carried the broadcast tonight. Did Mauro have better things to do? We he reprimanded by EliteXC for his “25 centimeter pole” comment on the last card? We want Mauro back,... [Read More...]
Mini-Preview of tonight’s ShoXC and other thoughts
I think I agree with Dann Stupp’s sentiments that yesterday’s dueling press conferences have left my head spinning. I’m still going over the finer points of what Dana White and Randy Couture both had to say. I think hardcore fight fans are a little burned out by the drama and are looking to get back to watching some fights. I’m fortunate in that I’ll be spending a lot... [Read More...]

Fedor Emelianenko’s first M-1 fight vs. Jeff Monson?
According to Sherdog.com, negotiations may be well underway for the match-up: “The ‘Snowman’ Jeff Monson, full of praise during in an interview with Roguemag.com, cited the ‘very good possibility of fighting the Russian’ and also said he is ‘in the process of working through things with M-1.” Monson? I don’t think it will garner much more interest than... [Read More...]
Does Fedor Suck?
Towards the end of the press conference yesterday, a frustrated Dana White uttered the following: “Fedor sucks. He’s not even a top 5 heavyweight.” Really? The consensus number one pound for pound fighter in the world sucks? Sounds strange to hear, but o.k., let’s say that every man is entitled to their opinion (this is the U.S. after all). Then we should look at the following: -... [Read More...]

Impressions of Randy Couture’s presser
While we heard nothing really new today at Randy Couture’s press conference, he did address the contract numbers reported by Yahoo! Sports a couple of weeks ago. Not only did he address them, he brought his UFC bout agreements to the press conference and passed them around for the reporters to see. Along with the $250,000 that he got for each fight, he said he usually receives around $500,000... [Read More...]
