Joe Rogan nailed it in the Octagon saying, “to be a legend, you have to beat a legend.” Cain Velasquez is now on the fast track towards a title shot after taking out Antonio Nogueira in less than three minutes. Even more impressive was the way the former Arizona State wrestler did it. The 27-year-old [...]

One punch can derail a career. It’s exactly what happened to hotshot prospect George Sotiropoulos during Season 6 of “The Ultimate Fighter” when the Aussie was upset by Tommy Speer. That punch didn’t stop things completely for Sotiropoulos. He officially sent word to the MMA world, that he is a quick riser to be reckoned [...] 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 [...] In the battle of the old guys — Randy Couture and Mark Coleman — the older dude was better. Couture looked faster, more crisp and full of more energy as the 46-year-old set the tone early, bouncing jabs off of the 45-year-old’s face. Then Couture employed his bread and butter, using the
The guy has a star quality. You may think Kimbo Slice stinks as a fighter but he is a marketing machine. TapouT has clearly hitched its wagon to the street fighting legend.

He did it on this night sticking to a gameplan that included closing space and scoring takedowns against Thiago Silva. Down 2-0, Silva finally broke through by landing a huge right with less than three minutes in the fight. The Brazilian poured [...] Dustin Hazelett didn’t say a whole lot before his fight against Paul Daley but someone in his camp did. As if Daley, didn’t have enough motivation to score a win at UFC 108, the trash talk from Camp Hazelett, increased his hunger to land a highlight reel knockout. Boy did he ever. Daley floored Hazelett [...] … Yours truly, Lyoto Machida. “I thought it was a very even and tough fight. I had the opportunity to see the fight again and I thought I won four rounds and Shogun took the last one. Some people say he won the fourth and fifth round, but for sure I won at least the first [...] UFC heavyweight Frank Mir doesn’t have much good to say about Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira these days. Mir has taken exception to the numerous “excuses” – such as a severe staph infection that hospitalized the Brazilian, as well as torn meniscus – laid out by UFC president Dana White, UFC announcer Joe Rogan and “Minotauro” himself as [...] |
