Anthony “The Hippo” Perosh deserves lots of credit for stepping up on short notice but the Australian didn’t have enough to pose any threat to Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic in the first fight of the PPV portion at UFC 110. The ringside doctor stopped the fight between the second and third round because of a [...]

Props: GracieFighter.com Quoteworthy: “It was embarrassing. I can tell you he wasn’t in that bad of shape. Fact is the nerves drained him of his energy. His stand up and ground work looked bad, nothing at all like he was doing in training leading up to the fight and it was if he couldn’t hear what I [...] Chael Sonnen is in the top five in MMA. That’s just with his ability to trash talk. Now he’s backing it up with his fighting. Sonnen, one of the best wrestling fighters in MMA, physically mauled the very powerful Nate Marquardt on his way to a huge upset in the co-main event at UFC 109. Sonnen [...]
Because the WEC had already run over their broadcast window last night, they couldn’t air the undercard fight that won its fighters the $10,000 Fight of the Night bonus. Will Campuzano and Coty “Ox” Wheeler put on a three-round battle chocked-full with submission attempts, flying knees, big kicks and a limitless gas tank from [...] It’s been a dicey road in the UFC for national champion wrestler Mark Munoz. The former Oklahoma State grappler was thrown into the Octagon with little experience. He had a rough time last March at UFC 96 when he got knocked unconscious by Matt Hamill with a head kick. His hard work and resilience paid [...] Props:MMA Fighting Quoteworthy: “He knows what’s coming. He knows there’s a left hook with his name on it and at some point in the 25 minutes I’ll land it. I’m expecting him to take me down. At some point in the fight I’ll end up on my back and I’ll fight from it. When you’re fighting GSP [...] Yowza! Strikeforce: “Evolution” has stopped evolving. And so, too, has the perfect mixed martial arts career of sensational San Shou striker, Cung Le. Scott Smith once again “pulled a rabbit out of his butt” to send Le packing for the Hollywood hills with a late third round knockout at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., tonight [...] Props: Sherdog.com Quoteworthy: “To be honest, that’s not something I am too concerned with, as strange as it sounds. I’ve accepted that, at some point, he’s going to take me down. I’ve accepted that I’m going to be fighting off my back for some of the fight and I’m just going to work to get back to [...] “I had a few opportunities [at UFC 105] and did not go after them. I handled (Swick) and hurt him several times. I have all the skills to cause (Georges St. Pierre) a lot of problems, and he is only human. He’s a great athlete very good at winning and putting together a gameplan; but [...] “The scouting report on Cain is that he is well rounded and has an unlimited gas tank. He is an aggressive fighter who posses a ton of skill. Cain is a legitimate contender and I hope that winner gets a shot.
