Some say that Tito Ortiz, the Ice Man, and Randy Couture are the whole reason the UFC is where it is now.  I disagree!!! Tito isn’t an All-Star, he’s a drama queen and should have traded Lesnar places with the WWE.  Either way Rashad, should take this fight.  Even w/the Drama from Jackson’s Gym here in Albuquerque – all BS aside Rashad Evans is a true Athelete.  SIT DOWN TITO ! ! ! !

Daley Thumps Smith in Strikeforce Debut

Posted In: Headline

With a vicious punch in the first round, Paul Daley knocked Scott Smith cold on Saturday night’s Strikeforce card.

There wasn’t anything fancy about this fight. They stood in front of each other and threw punches, and within the first minute there was the first knockdown, with Daley hitting Smith hard and sending him flying against the fence. As he so often does, Smith recovered quickly, however, and got back to his feet.

But it wasn’t long before Daley landed an absolutely brutal left hook to Smith’s head, putting Smith face-first on the canvas and unconscious.

“This ain’t no movie,” Daley said afterward.

He then added, referencing his explosive nickname, “Semtex is for real.”

Smith did get back up and walk out of the cage afterward, and he appeared to be OK. But that knockout loss was brutal.

For Daley, who was fired by the UFC after taking a sucker punch at Josh Koscheck following his loss to Koscheck this year, it was an emphatic return to the national stage. It was also one of the best wins of his pro MMA career, improving his record to 26-9-2.

Daley said that he’d next like to fight KJ Noons, and then after that he hopes to take on Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz.

“I’m here to be the champion,” Daley said. “And I’m going to be the champion.”

If he keeps fighting like he did on Saturday night, Daley can become a Strikeforce champion soon.

Miguel Torres UFC Debut at UFC 126 – DNFW!!!

Posted In: Headline, Miguel Torres

Heavy.com is reporting that former WEC champion Miguel Torres will make his UFC debut at UFC 126 in February against Antonio Banuelos. Both men are coming to the UFC in the coming merger between the world’s largest MMA promotion and it’s “little brother” promotion, the WEC. UFC 126 is to be main evented by a middleweight title fight between Vitor Belfort and long-time champion Anderson Silva.

Torres recently rebounded from back-to-back losses with a dominant win over Charlie Valencia. Prior to that he had lost his title to Brian Bowles and then lost the follow-up fight to Joseph Benavidez. Similarly, Banuelos recently reversed his fortunes as he followed up a loss to Scott Jorgensen with a win over Chad George on the same WEC 51 card where Torres found himself back on the winning track.

Both men are known as action fighters and both are more than capable of delivering fight of the night type stuff every time they enter the cage. This fight is a perfect example of how the UFC will use the lighter weight fighters to flesh out their cards. This card is filled with UFC stars but also will benefit from the excitement of the WEC fighters. The days of seeing bad fights between fledgling low-tier fighters make broadcasts are likely a thing of the past.

Careful:  Miguel Torres is voted one of the top ten pound for pound MMA fighters.  I welcome the former WEC Fighter and hope he does well.

UNBELIEVABLE UFC 117 Results Silva and Sonnen

by admin on August 8, 2010 at 12:55 am

I dont’ really care how you look at it.  Silva got his butt whooped by Chael Sonnen.  But, Chael left the Spider a golden opportunity in the last round… Chael slipped mentally to allow Anderson Silva the submittion.  Chael taps and Silva takes the W

Game over – But Chael did not let us down.  He fought a swell fight – and taught Anderson a lesson – “Chael doesn’t play around – You gotta earn it”

UFC 117 Silva Vs. Sonnen – A Fans Perspective

by admin on August 5, 2010 at 5:03 pm
Posted In: Headline

UFC 117 is in dire need of chaos. The main card, Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen just may do the trick. Silva is an excellent fighter but has never been challenged on the ground. A stand up fighter with a reach on his oppenents from hell, has held his social and fighter status as “TOP DOG” in the cage.

So here’s what needs to happen to stir the UFC pot. First, I must say that even though a Shane Carwin vs. Brock Lesnar is on the horizon – UFC fans can say the that the Lesnar drama is getting old and there is a need for a new commotion. Chael is a solid contender and with his tactical wrestling skills, he will challenge the Spider’s grappling abilities. Has anybody seen the Spider on the ground much at all? Well I haven’t seen much eaither. It may put a new perspective on things. If any fighter can get in close to Silva, then we gotta good match. If they stay out then they are going to catch the long reach in the jaw and the TKO goes to the Spider.

UFC 117 Main Card

So like Brock being humbled by Carwin (which never happend but I was personally tuned it to see it – God knows Brock is a baby) Chael has to lay down the law on Silva and give him a dose of “holla back biotch”. But on the flip side I like watching Silva fight. Hopefully the fight will not be one way and we will whitness the ground game from Silva that is rare to see and Sonnen surely will have favor in the given situation.

So Chael, make us proud – you’re the underdog taking on a top-notch fighter with a growing ego. Bust the bubble that we call a head and go to the top. We are all watching, listening and waiting for the results. Don’t let us down.
