I'm praying to all the Saints for a double knockout, or for a light fixture to fall on both of them.
Viewers: Prepare for the first season of TUF where both coaches speak English, and the show still needs subtitles...
I buy a couple on "The Bachelor" before I buy Miller as a Coach. Ten bucks says that he brings Bisping a rose on the season finale.
Comment on Mayhem how? In terms of his coaching contract, or generally not being worth the gas that brings his $.50 hair dye from China?
Sergei Kharitonov fights for the 3rd time since his KO victory over Andrei Arlovski in the first round of the Strikeforce Heavweight Grand Prix.
Mighty Mo is his victim in this battle, falling to a vicious uppercut in the first round.
Don't sleep on him on folks, we could easily see him in the finals!
Bibiano added to Dream Bantamweight GP
"Before the event Bibiano has been called up to, Dream will have a sort of qualifiers, in May, where there’ll be six Japanese guys and three will guarantee their vacancy on the GP on September 25th, and that the finals should be in December."
Speaking to MMAWeekly.com on Saturday, M-1 Global’s Evgeni Kogan stated that Fedor is under contract, with Showtime, and they look forward to fulfilling that deal.
‘Fedor’s contract is with Showtime Networks Inc and we’re excited to be working with such a premium North American outlet," Kogan said.

Fusion: An Idea For JMMA

In the early part of the new millenium there was one place to go for mixed martial arts; Japan. PRIDE Fighting Championship was the top MMA promotion at the time, with a roster of fighters unparalleled elsewhere. Various areans across the country were packed with fans coming to watch the likes of Kazushi Sakuraba, Wanderlei Silva, and Fedor Emelianenko battle one another. Japanese MMA was at the top of its game, a phoenix flying over the rest of the competition, and setting it on fire.
Although PRIDE and JMMA were at the top for a majority of the decade, the flame slowly began to waste away. Financial problems, Yakuza influences, and the growth of the UFC all contributed to the demise of this superpower. Since the death of PRIDE, JMMA has been looking for a variety of promotions to fill its place. Many companies have come and gone, but the two with the most success are undoubtedly DREAM (run by FEG) and Sengoku (run by WVR). The future is dreary for these current JMMA super powers. Like PRIDE before it, the companies are seemingly on the way out thanks to Yakuza intervention and other financial woes. The companies have each experienced difficulties paying their fighters as of late, with the Sengoku even granting releases to fighters who request one. Needless to say, things aren't looking good in the land of the rising sun. In order to save mixed martial arts in Japan as we know it, something drastic must be done.

UCC 3: Renegades Preview

The third card in UCC's debut year is coming soon and MMA fans in NY should be excited. Not only are there some very exciting up and comers on the card, but this event is taking place mere minutes from the isle of Manhattan, just off the PATH. Sure we've had fight leagues come close to NY, but the UCC is aiming for the residents of Manhattan specifically! What does that mean? It means NY MMA fans don't have to travel that far to scratch that insatiable itch for a live MMA event. Plus, the more support we show for local venues in surrounding states, the better chance we have to get this great sport into Madison Square Garden.
With my little rant done with, we can now get into the whole entire point of this article: breaking down some of the fights on the up and coming UCC 3: Renegades card. Remember, this isn't the majors! Most of the fighters on the card are relatively new, most with records of under 5 fights. An excellent chance to bear witness to the future of MMA from the Tri-State Area.
We'll start discussion about two fights on the main card, followed by what is most likely going to be the main event of the evening!

A word I'm extremely familiar with.
I've gone a couple of months without it. My life has been fine. Then one day, I find myself reading about it. Shortly after that, i'm noticing it more on TV, even when i go onto the computer it somehow pops up. The next thing I know, i'm using again

The upcoming fight between Ronaldo "Jacaré" Souza and Tim Kennedy on Saturdays Strikeforce: Houston card will undoubtedly be a great one for the vacant Strikeforce Middleweight Championship. Both men in this contest are worthy of the title they're fighting for.
Regardless of whose hand is raised on the night of August 21st, one can almost be assured that the same person is going to being called out by either of the future champions.
