Maybe it’ll be a short stay in the minors for Jake Rosholt. Only Dana White and Joe Silva know. In a division short on top level young prospects, Rosholt was booted by the UFC after just three fights.

Strikeforce has finally locked in a date for their next CBS “Saturday Night Fights” event as Scott Coker and Co. travel to Nashville, Tennessee for a televised brouhaha from the Sommet Center on April 17. Just don’t plan on seeing Fedor Emelianenko strutting his stuff on free TV. “The Last Emperor” is currently negotiating for a spot [...] You’ll excuse Strikeforce’s Trevor Prangley (22-5 MMA, 3-1 SF) if he’s not buying into the hype. Prangley’s opponent at tonight’s “Strikeforce Challengers VI: Kaufman vs. Hashi” event in San Jose, Calif., Karl Amoussou (11-2-1 MMA, 0-0 SF), enters the contest as a much ballyhooed prospect. But Prangley, a nine-year veteran, has dealt with his share of [...] Yoshihiro Akiyama is in limbo for at least another week. The Japanese star was due to take on Wanderlei Silva at UFC 110 on Feb. 21 before the promotion replaced him with Michael Bisping with assurances he would eventually face the winner of the Australian card’s co-main event.

His confidence [...] LAS VEGAS – The winner of Saturday’s UFC 109 co-main-event fight between Nate Marquardt (29-8-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) and Chael Sonnen (24-10-1 MMA, 3-3 UFC) will earn a middleweight title shot. At today’s UFC 109 pre-event press conference, UFC president Dana White confirmed the recent speculation and guaranteed the winner a shot at the belt. White, who [...] The long rumored match up between Strikeforce heavyweights Fabricio Werdum and Fedor Emelianenko looks to be inching closer to a done deal. In an interview with TATAME.com, Werdum confirmed what we’ve all been thinking for the last couple months. Fabrício Werdum revealed to TATAME.com that the rumored fight against Fedor Emelianenko will probably take place in April [...] “It’s just style match ups. He is definitely more technical than I am, and I think I have the punching power over him. There’s a couple things, not to give away any gameplan, that I see that I could capitalize on. You know, every fight’s match ups. If I’m gonna fight a tough guy, [...] |
