Should Jon Jones and Jon Fitch fight their teammates?
It’s becoming a familiar refrain. A contender rising up the ranks says they won’t fight another contender because they are friends and training partners. Most recently, Dana White was pissed at Jon Jones’ statements that he wouldn’t fight Rashad Evans. There have been problems in the past with American Kickboxing Academy’s (AKA) welterweight trio of [...]
Does the UFC need new intro music?
It’s a familiar sight by now. As an orchestra plays and voices sing in Latin, a gladiator prepares for battle. The main event and co-main event fighters talk about their opponents. This is followed by a video montage of the main card fighters while Stemm’s ‘Face the pain’ plays. It’s a formula that’s been used [...]
Nostalgia: Wanderlei Silva and Mark Coleman shave each other
Wanderlei Silva and Mark Coleman were 2 of the top stars in Japan during the prime of their careers. Coleman was the 1st Pride Grand Prix winner, while Silva held the 205 pound title for nearly 6 years. It’s not surprising then, that these 2 would be featured in some Japanese commercials: At least they’re [...]
What if?: Vitor Belfort edition
It seems like ancient history now. Vitor Belfort burst onto the MMA scene as a teenager and was nicknamed “The Phenom.” His hand speed was like nothing ever seen before. Given his age, it looked like it was only a matter of time before he would go on to have successful title reigns. Unfortunately, in [...]
What can we expect from the WEC being absorbed by UFC?
On October 28, it was announced that the WEC would be merged into the UFC starting in 2011. It was bound to happen at some point. Zuffa purchased the WEC in 2006 to pre-empt the International Fight League (IFL) from getting a TV deal on Versus. The restructuring of the WEC hasn’t produced great results [...]
Looking ahead: Cain Velasquez vs Junior dos Santos
Junior dos Santos earned the right to face the winner of the Brock Lesnar-Cain Velasquez fight by beating up Roy Nelson for 15 minutes. Cain, of course, dethroned Lesnar this past weekend. The Cain-JDS fight is a very interesting one stylewise that could end up being a classic series of clashes. JDS is one of [...]
Brock Lesnar is not Bob Sapp
As with everything else associated with Brock Lesnar, the internet explodes in a frenzy whether he wins or loses. Now that he has been dealt a bad loss at the hands of Cain Velasquez, predictably the anti-Lesnar crowd is out in full force. One of the more hilarious pronouncements is that Lesnar is no more [...]
Bellator 34: Tonight!
Bellator 34 is on live tonight on Fox Sports Net and its local affiliates. Looks like another entertaining card! Will Megumi Fujii run her record to 23-0 and in the process become the women’s 115 pound champion? In the main event, Hector Lombard makes his 1st title defence. On the main card: 185 pound championship [...]
Lay and pray is a 2 way street- don’t hate the player, hate the playerS
People don’t like to be bored. If a TV show, movie, book, etc. is boring you, you’ll probably go do something else. You might even boycott the show/author/artist that produced the work. Mixed martial arts is no different; no one wants to watch a boring fight. Crowds are not shy about voicing their displeasure at [...]
Nostalgia: The IFL Anthem
The International Fight League may have failed in developing a credible alternative to the UFC, but at least they gave us a catchy theme song complete with music video. Featuring old school guys such as Bas Rutten, Carlos Newton, Renzo Gracie, Matt Lindland, Pat Miletich, and Igor Zinoviev, at least we’ll have something to remember [...]
