For love or money, Sin City always takes the latter when it comes to the fight game. MMAjunkie.com has learned that training partners Evan Dunham (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Tyson Griffin (14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) have agreed to meet at UFC 115 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, according to multiple sources close to the situation. Bout [...] Props:Las Vegas Sun Quoteworthy: “I’ve used the same training partners for 11 or 12 years, and I haven’t brought any of them back for this fight. What ended up happening was — I wasn’t getting cocky, they got cocky. They would say, ‘Oh, you’re going to kill this guy. He’s only got seven fights. The guys I [...] Some media outlets called it the upset of the year. It was shocking to see Brian Bowles take out Miguel Torres at WEC 42 and it did upset the former bantamweight champ. Torres realized he had gotten into a comfort zone, was surrounded by yes men and was fighting with the wrong approach. “I’ve used the [...] Brock Lesnar is back and guys like Chris Tuchscherer and Cole Konrad are feeling the effects of the big guy being out of action for three months. The heavyweight prospects are training partners of the UFC’s heavyweight champ. So more than anyone they can tell you what it’s like to be in the monster’s clutches. [...] Props: TheMMANews Quoteworthy: “If I fight (Anderson Silva) again I think I am going to do the same thing, I think I learned that if you’re not scared of him right away you have a good chance to win and that’s what I did. I was there in the first second of the fight, I took the [...] If there was any question as to who BJ Penn was likely to face on April 10 at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi, then Gray Maynard probably gave us “The Answer” during his main event against Nick Diaz at UFC Fight Night 20 in Fairfax. “The Bully” was one fight away from emerging as the clear-cut [...] Props:MMA Weekly Quoteworthy: “I think (Shinya Aoki’s) tough. I think I have the proper game plan for him. I’ve got the proper training partners for him, and I think he knows I’d be a tough match for him. I’d love to fight that guy. If they could really make that happen in Strikeforce, I’m all over it. [...] “My body definitely has changed. I definitely am at my biggest and at my leanest…. I feel very, very strong. I feel I’m at my quickest, and I’m in tremendous shape right now…. We’ve really gone back to the basics. I feel like it’s been a total rebirth, a total upgrade of what I’ve been [...] UFC Quick Quote: A ‘horrified’ Shane Carwin feels bad for the 500 people stiffed by Lesnar’s illness“I was just kind of horrified that (Brock Lesnar) would even get in the face of the opponent he had just beaten (at UFC 100). It was totally disrespectful to Frank, and that’s the part that just started it all off. You know, one of the first things you learn when you walk into any [...] “The hardest part has been having someone (camera persons) on the mat during training that I CAN’T hit. Normally, the rule is, if you’re on the mat, you’re fair game to get some. It’s been fun to share my story. I feel that I am living the American success story. And I hope that others [...] |
