Best Quote of the Night for: UFC Fight For The Troops 2

The best quote of the night goes to........Darmaques Johnson after his win against Mike Guymon.

After Guymon tapped out due to the pressure from the body triangle Johnson had on him. This was said:

"who likes foreplay with no orgasm, i mean i didn't finish, my bad."

I was dying this was too funny.

Chael Sonnen Black Belt

On January 3, 2011, the man named Chael Sonnen was awarded a black belt in Money Laundering.

He also was spotted at McDonald's also trying to get a black belt under the Nogueria brothers. Unfortunately, in his happy meal he didn't get the black belt. Good Luck Chael maybe next time.

Kimbo Slice Quits Boxing!! Make Money Somewhere Else?

Kim


Reports have said that former street fighter/MMA fighter, Kimbo Slice will quit his aspiration to pursue a career in boxing.  After his loss to Matt Mitrione and getting cut from the UFC stable, he decided he would put mixed martial arts in the backseat and pursue boxing.  According to his fight promoter, Jared Shaw, he has also put his boxing career to rest.  Shaw said that due to injuries and the intensity of the work that was put into boxing, Kimbo could not do it. 

It was said that after Kimbo had finished filming the Scorpion King, Kimbo had lost interest in boxing.  But wait.....Kimbo will go to pro wrestling.  He's going to head to Japan and entering the 8 man tournament on February 5th. 

For all the Kimbo Slice haters, why hate the guy.  If you watched The Ultimate Fighter or seen interviews, Kimbo's a humble and nice guy.  If you didn't like him because he got so much hype, its not his fault.  Blame the internet and all the people who hyped him up.  He came up making little money to six figures.  Aye, he makes that money and that's all that matters.  At least he's still going to be in entertainment, lol even though its not real.  Go Team Kimbo LOL

Alistar Overeem LOL

So today I was on a forum and was trolling around and I wanted to put some fun in the forum.  I seen Alistar Overeem's name and I wanted to make a thread of him. 

Honestly, in my opinion, I always thought Alistar Overeem has been juicing or taking some substances that makes him super huge.

 So I asked this dumb question on the forum asking "  Where do you think Alistar Overeem gets his roids?"









This one guy says that he gets it from the horse stables.

Another guy says that he gets it from eating drugged horse meat.

Another guy actually replys with a picture of this.

I was dying cuz of the picture of the horse.

What I learned from the lastest MMA Hourshosted by Ariel Helwani

So today, it was probably longest edition of the MMA hour with Ariel Helwani. It took around 3 hours and consisted of 9 guests. There really wasn't any breaking news from it but learned a little more detail into the fights and things that are going on.

WHAT I LEARNED:

Josh Barrnett actually contemplated to stop competing in mixed martial arts. And he didn't like what Dana White says. I guess you can say they're not close friends.

Fabricio Werdum hates cocky people. He said Overeem and Barnett were a little to cocky.

Scott Coker gave a little insight into the Strikeforce tournament. It will consist of 8 heavyweights. The details about the championship bouts are not final and he said it will be announced soon.

Hershal Walker wants a MMA union. Too bad this isn't football, its most likely not going to happen.

Anthony Pettis will be getting a fight instead of waiting for the title shot. Hopefully, he wins or he'll pull off a Josh Grispi 2.0.

The best part was the Mitrione Minute segment. Due to technical difficulties, Mitrione could not get on the computer and had to call in. He didn't even have material and was funny to listen to improvise.

THATS WHAT I LEARNED TODAY.

Fights Targeted for UFC 130

A couple fights are being targeted for UFC 130. It's not official but here are some of the fights that are targeted to be on the May 28th card.




Rampage Jackson vs Thiago Silva

The fight will most likely be that the winner will be catapulted into the light heavyweight contention. Thiago just came off a one year layoff to rehabilitate his injuries. Coming off UFC 125, Thiago dominated and smashed his opponent Brandon Vera.

Rampage also won his last fight against Lyoto Machida. Therefore the winner will be taking a huge step up in the light heavyweight ladder.

Frank Mir vs Roy Nelson

This match looks to be a very exciting match up in my opinion especially, both being Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts.

Frank Mir's job will also be on the chopping block, after Dana White ripped his performance against Mirko Cro Cop.

I'm guessing the whole contract issue with Roy Nelson is resolved. He just came off a gutsy performance against Junior Dos Santos. He took a massive beating and showed a ton of heart.

Also, there is a rumor that Frankie Edgar and Grey Maynard will have their rematch on this card. Its only a rumor, besides Frankie needs to be medically cleared due to the fracture in his nose.

George St. Pierre vs Jake Shields= Not exciting?

GSP just got off his one sided jabfest of Koscheck's right eye. He shut him down so easily, that Koscheck couldn't even see or even react to GSP's jab. That one sided domination, brings an argument for St. Pierre for cleaning out everyone in that division. The only relevant person for him to fight is Jake Shields. After that, its a clean sweep. Personally, that fight could potentially be the most boring fight in MMA history. It would be a takedown marathon I would think for Jake Shields, maybe that might be St. Pierre's weakness, fighting someone who can bore him to death more than he bores other people to death.

I'm not trying to diss them, they are amazing fighters but they give very lackluster performances. GSP doesn't take any risk and makes sure he gets the win and doesn't take the risk to go all in and finish the fight. He used to finish fights when he was younger, but he'd rather take the safe approach and win. Which doesn't always translate into an exciting fight for the fans.

Jake Shields, don't get me wrong hes a good fighter but, I never seen him in an exciting fight. He comes to wrestle and grapple. He puts the fight into his greatest strength which is a smart game plan. But he also does the lay and pray technique at times. Which many people labeled him to a boring fighter. The most exciting moment I've ever seen him in a fight is when Hendo almost knocked him out. That was the best.

Do you guys think this will be an exciting fight?

The Best MMA kick landed EVER!!!

Although I was wrong on my prediction with the Benson Henderson and Anthony Pettis fight last night, Pettis showed a real set of skills and a no fear attitude to commit to this kick. Its probably the best kick i ever seen landed, it was flashy as hell. To bad Henderson didn't get KO'd from it. Enjoy.






Highlight

Final WEC Fight Card

Tonight, the last the world will ever see the WEC banner producing fights. This will be the final fight card due to the merger with the UFC. Two titles will be on the line, the WEC Lightweight Championship and the WEC Bantamweight Championship. This will be a showcase for these WEC fighters, to show the UFC what kind of talent they had there. Here are my predictions for the fights of the main card.

First on the main card is :


Bart Palaszewski Vs. Kamal Shalorus

Kamal Shalorus is a very decorated international wrestler. But he uses it to keep the fight standing and use his stand up to keep the fight in his element. He loves to throw all his power into his punches and if it lands, your going to be in huge trouble. But, I'm going to give his fight to Bard Palaszewski. Hes a crafty veteran and has much more experience than his opponent. He also pulls out a lot of crafty wins. He can finish you with his stand up or pull a crafty submission, but I see a 2nd round submission by Palaszewski.

Donald Cerrone Vs. Chris Horodecki

Honestly, I don't see where Horodecki is better than Cerrone. They got stand and bang. But with Cerrone's experiences with top flight guys in their division, I think he'll pull out a Horodecki leg battering decision. Expect Horodecki to be hobbling after the fight.

Dominick Cruz Vs. Scott Jorgensen

As much as I hate saying this because I consider Jorgensen one of my favorite Bantamweight fighters, Dominick Cruz pulls another decision. Hes going to have to stay on the outside and use his long reach to keep Jorgensen on the outside. Expect a GSP jabfest to Jorgensen's face. Jorgensen's straight forward pressure may go against him in this fight running into the punches. Cruz by 5 round decision.

Ben Henderson Vs. Anthony Pettis

The winner of this fight will face the winner of Edgar/Maynard bout in January. This fight has a lot on the line for these to, this will show who will be the last WEC Lightweight Champion before going to the UFC. Anthony Pettis has amazing stand up, very dynamic. He also has amazing triangles off his back. But, Henderson has a threshold that nobody ever seen. He doesn't tap, its like trying to choke out a zombie, it won't work. Henderson finishes this in 3 rounds by TKO . Ground and Pound, nobody ever seen Pettis really get rocked so this will test if he can eat Henderson's ground and pound assault.

The Ultimate Fighter Season 13 Coaches

Although there is no coaches set for the next installment of the Ultimate Fighter, there has been various options of who will coach this season. Dana White has thrown around the idea of a Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir. This would set up a rubber match between the two to finish the trilogy. Personally, I would probably like to watch the animosity towards each other. Trash talking would be the amusement factor. Everyone knows they hate each other, why not have great footage. But who knows. Other speculations would be a Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva season. This would be an interesting match up but who knows if Chael Sonnen will be the same person, will he be humbled after his incident or will he be the trash talker he is. Having Wanderlei in the season means that there will be subtitles for sure. Who knows though, we'll just have to see what the UFC has in store. Personally, ill go with the Lesnar vs Mir just so these gigantic dudes will have some anger towards each other, which will lead to a great fight in the cage. What do you guys think?

Alistar Overeem Debate

On Sherdog.com Heavyweight kickboxer Alistar Overeem is rated the number 8 heavyweight in MMA. Is he a legit heavyweight that should be in the top 10. Some people say yes and others no. Recently Overeem had just won the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Final. He used his strength to bully the competition he had. But is he really a legit top 10 guy, this is my opinion.

Honestly, Overeem is a great fighter. No disrespect to him, but hes win streak right now, with his last MMA fight being Brett Rogers, isn't really too impressive. Rogers, Fujita, James Thompson, Tony Sylvester, and Gary Goodridge are not even top guys or even remotely close from being top flight competition. Yet to mention, he has barely even defended his Strikeforce belt. He needs to actually fight a guy that is in the top 10 or even a bigger name to even have him considered to be up there. Nobody is really testing him, he needs to fight a tougher opponent to actually be up there. Good fighter but not a top 10 material type of fighter just yet.

UFC 124 Main Card

It was a good night for the UFC with its much anticipated event in Montreal, Canada. The poster boy of the welterweight division, champion, George St. Pierre's defended his title against the American Kickboxing Academy product Josh Koscheck. The event drew many fans of the champion and many Koscheck haters.

The first fight of the main card was a stand up battle between Muay Thai strikers John Howard and Thiago Alves. This match up was a stand up battle. Alves looked very good in this bout and made weight unlike prior events. He had been working with Mike Dolche on his diet. The battle was the classic battle of power vs technique. Alves technical approach, kept Howard guessing with the occasional leg kick to his lead leg. Howard could not land the 1 shot knock out on Alves, due to Alves's high guard with his hands and in and out approach. Alves battered Howards lead leg and at the end of it , Alves won the decision.

The next fight was a lightweight affair between Ultimate Fighter Winners Joe Stevenson and Mac Danzig. The fight was only seen standing and did not hit the floor until Joe Stevenson fell face first. They were exchanging punches and kicks until Joe Stevenson mounted an attack. While backing up, Danzig throws a perfect left hook and floors Stevenson immediately. The hammerfists at the end were just an added bonus to keep him down. Danzig pockete the $100k knockout of the night bonus.

The next fight was a lightweight battle between underrated Jim Miller and up and coming Charles Olivera. As soon as the fight hit the ground the prospect Olivera was already working his active guard to catch Miller in a submissions. Miller avoided all the submission attempts by the young Olivera. Miller tried his own submission of his own, he attempted attack his opponents leg with a what it seemed to be a straight ankle lock and quickly changed it to a kneebar. Olivera tried to fight through it with punches to Miller's body but gave up. Miller pocketed the $100k Submission of the Night Bonus.

The co-main event tilt between heavyweight prospects Stefan Struve and Sean McCorkle. There was a lot of animosity between the 2 fighters due to McCorkle's rants about Struve. It ended very quick. Struve worked a kimura sweep from guard and ended up pounding out McCorkle till it was stopped.

The main event was very anticipate by the hometown fans. The roar of the crowd when the champion George St. Pierre came out, must have gave GSP some advantage. But, on to the fight. Basically to save you from watching 25mins of your time, I can summarize it pretty easily. St. Pierre basically jabs Koscheck to death. And every now and then he would throw a superman punch/leg kick combo in succession. Koscheck ate many, many jabs. Due to that, Koscheck's eye swelled up closed and he was very tentative about letting his hands go. It let GSP dominate him easily with his precision striking. GSP retains the title with a 25min decision.

Fights I Hope to See

GSP vs Jake Shields

Only because Shields should be the contender but this should be an easy picking for the champ, because honestly i think GSP would pick Shields part on the feet, just like against Koscheck.

Stefan Struve vs Jon Madsen

This would be a test for Struve due to Madsen's wrestling pedigree.

Jim Miller vs any top 10 ranked lighweight

He needs to prove hes able to compete against the upper tier fighters.

Thiago Alves vs Another Striker (Anthony Rumble Johnson or Dan Hardy)

I think this fight would make fireworks
