Props: Fight Hype Quoteoworthy: “My thing with Randy Couture is he is a legend in his sport. He seems like a good person. I don’t know him personally, but from when I met him, he seems like he’s a great dude, man. And if he is a real man, come put the gloves on. I did it his [...] There’s confidence, trash talk and fight hype and then there’s what James Toney does. Toney is pulling out all the big guns for his MMA debut at UFC 118. The heavyweight boxer sounds like he’s got Floyd Mayweather’s career behind him. Toney (72-6, 44 KOs) told Heavy.com that he’s the undisputed heavyweight boxing king, he’s a [...] He may get mocked on for being “The Decisionator” but no one can deny the fact that Dominick Cruz is a tough riddle to solve. Joe Benavidez got a second chance, this time with the WEC‘s bantamweight title on the line, and just fell short of avenging his loss from their first meeting. He crushed Cruz’s [...] Props: Gracie Mag Quoteworthy: “I’m a Nogueira brothers black belt, and I’d give my life for them. I say that and I don’t need to patronize them nor them me. Rodrigo is my master and Rogério is a brother and teacher to me. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here today. I decided to put on [...] UFC 117: “Silva vs. Sonnen” took place tonight (Aug. 7, 2010) from the the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. From a pure promotional stand point, it was perhaps the most anticipated pay-per-view (PPV) event of the 2010 fight season behind the behemoth box office draw that is Brock Lesnar (UFC 116). And that was due in large part [...] If tonight’s UFC 117 event proves a pay-per-view blockbuster and rakes in additional millions of dollars for the world’s top mixed-martial-arts promotion, Chael Sonnen surely will give himself a pat on the back. The one-man marketing machine produced one of the most controversial but effective PR campaigns in MMA history as he heads into tonight’s main-event title [...] Props: Sherdog.com Quoteworthy: “I’m not in this to become famous or anything. I don’t like all the hype and I hate talking smack. I just do this because I enjoy competing in martial arts. A lot of guys trash talk just to hype the fight and stuff like that, but I got into this because of martial arts [...] Props: Yahoo! Quoteworthy: “I saw some weaknesses in him and I definitely plan to use that against him. I think he knows he has his hands full with me. Well, I don’t know, maybe he doesn’t. Maybe he doesn’t believe I’m a better fighter than I was in 2007 and if he doesn’t, it’s his mistake. If he feels [...] “When you screw up, you have to own it. That stuff really gets under my skin. Take Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong did a number of things and he gave himself cancer. He cheated, he did drugs, and he gave himself cancer.
