UFC!
Lots of big happenings this week in the world of UFC.
To start the week, Rampage Jackson retired to focus on his career as an actor. He has already landed his first major role as B.A. Baracus, the role made famous by Mr. T.
Jackson basically said no thanks to the life of luxury, as well as the complete trust of the organization. Dana White is not stupid and yet he trusted Jackson, bailing him out of jail and making him one of the coaches on the newest season of the Ultimate Fighter.
When he received news of Jackson's "retirement," he somewhat took the high road and didn't completely bash Jackson. However, there were a few snide comments and he seemed generally unhappy.
Later in the week, White announced that Kimbo Slice would become a member of the UFC, whether or not he wins the Ultimate Fighter. That's a huge swing, as Dana White once said that Slice would never fight in the UFC.
Is Dana White mellowing, or is he just doing what he can to keep his product in the limelight? Maybe he's gearing up for an acting career of his own..

Open Forum--UFC 101
UFC 101 took place on Saturday Night in Philadelphia. As expected, Anderson Silva won the light heavyweight match against Forest Griffin and BJ Penn beat Kenny Florian in the Lightweight Championship bout and Philadelphia fans once again made complete fools of themselves.
What did you think....Better than UFC 100? Worse? Should we never allow Philadelphia to hold another sporting event again?

Fedor signs with Strikeforce
According to reports, Fedor Emelianenko will sign with Strikeforce, after talks with the UFC broke down.
This is a huge signing for Strikeforce, which is one of the UFC's biggest competitors.
This is also favorable for Mixed Martial Arts fans, as Strikeforce airs it's events on Showtime, which is way more accesible to the American public than having to purchase individual fights on Pay-Per-View.
There is also the possibility that Strikeforce will be able to sign bigger names now that someone like Fedor is on the roster.
This move is a win-win for both Strikeforce and Fedor. The only loser is the UFC. Dana White was too full of himself to give in to Fedor's demands and ended up losing him to a competitor.
If Dana White is not careful, he just might end up losing his grip on the UFC. The UFC in turn just might lose it's grip on the MMA world.

Brock Lesnar's Pre and Post Fight Attitude
It seems the whole world wants to talk about UFC 100, and they do have a right to, as it was in my opinion one of the best UFC PPVs ever. It lived up the the hype, which I am glad to see something actually do so.
Quite Frankly, Brock Lesnar totally kicked... uh.....butt. Yeah, thats the word.
Ok, I admit I had Frank Mir winning the fight between the two, boy was I wrong. I figured that because Mir was a better technician, he would go in and get Lesnar locked up and make him submit, again. We all knew Lesnar would improve and not make a mistake like he did last time. But people forgot that Mir would do the same. He knew Lesnar could brawl, and he couldn't stand up against him, he needed to hit the mat. Yet, just like he did last time Mir went out and tried to brawl with Lesnar and it cost him. Lesnar won the fight, and proved he could hang with the best.
However, most people are not talking about the fight. Rather, they are talking about Lesnar pre and post fight behavior. People were upset that he flipped off the crowd, cursing, and talked about not liking certain beer(Bud which was sponsoring the event). By the way, wait until 21 to drink responsibly.
Anyway, people are talking about what Lesnar did, however they do not talk about what triggered it. For the people who watched the event, you saw the crowd cursing out Lesnar in the beginning. Lesnar didn't start that, the crowd did. All he did was get even, while I do not condone his actions, he didn't start it, just finished it. And for his comments to Mir, think of this. Mir has been talking up a big game for months now. He talked about how he beat Lesnar, how he would woop Lesnar, how Lesnar didn't match up with the likes of him, how "wrestlers" should go back where they came from.
Of course this infuriated Lesnar, therefore he took his feelings out on Mir in interviews and in the Octagon.
Now don't get me wrong, I feel Lesnar didn't handle things totally right. However, people do need to realize the actions that occurred before, rather than what happened at UFC 100.
Lesnar deserves respect for what he has done. He is UFC Heavyweight Champion afterall. He beat Herring, Couture, and even rival Mir along the way.
If you want to hate on someone, hate yourselves fans for causing this, and yourselves alone. Lesnar only reacted to what was caused by the you the fan.
Hate him if you will, but respect him you shall.

Hendo Knocks Bisping Out...
Dan "Hollywood" Henderson, or Hendo to you, knocked Bisping into space. What a face-smashing he gave him, clearly stiffing him up on the ground like a surfboard. But that wasn't good enough for Hendo, he just had to get one more leaping, mini superman punch in for good measure to "shut him up for good". Now, I'm a HUGE Dan Henderson fan, and even I thought that last punch was a little, um, lets just say 'not very nice'... But this is the UFC, right, not tennis?!? LOL!

Lesnar Destroys Mir...
...And that's putting it nicely. After a 2 round beating, Mir, who came into the ring looking as confident as ever, left looking like he just left a pinata party... and he was the pinata. He took a good 4-5 shots too many in my opinion, but I'm no professional ref. Lesnar wasn't exactly a gentleman after the fight, but he was so amped up, and hated Mir so much that he couldn't help himself. No matter, UFC 100 was an awesome night of fights, and Lesnar beating, er, I mean demolishing Mir, was well worth the money...

Lesnar vs. Mir: The Ultimate Showdown!!
Tomorrow night, July 11th 2009 has been marked on the calendars of every Mixed Martial Arts fan for months now.
UFC 100 will take place tomorrow night, and ever since it was announced earlier this year, it's been eagerly anticipated.
The storylines are abundant. Brock Lesnar, who is becoming very popular, very quickly, is taking on Frank Mir in a rematch two years in the making. In addition to all of the excitement of the rematch of Lesnar's first UFC fight, the Undisputed Heavyweight title is up for grabs.
The Heavyweight title is not the only title that is on the line tomorrow night. Also on the main card is a fight between Georges "Rush" St. Pierre who is defending his welterweight title against Thiago Alves.
Adding to the excitement is the fact that the proceedings are taking place in Las Vegas, NV. That will add an extra element to all that's happening, as you will have extra buzz.
Predictions:
Welterweight Championship Bout:
St. Pierre over Alves in 3rd.
Heavyweight Championship Bout:
Lesnar over Mir in 2nd.

Review: Round 5 World of MMA Champions Figures
By Bebs
WHO YOU CALLIN' A DOLL, PAL?
So how many points of articulation does an MMA fighter need to be called an action figure and not a doll? NONE! Unless you want to argue with Matt "The Terror" Serra about that. In which case, we'll go ahead and notify your next of kin.
But we recommend that you forget the fully articulated posers and go for what really matters - looks, style and attitude.
Round 5 captures the look and spirit of the best MMA fighters in this new line of action figures.
These artists capture each champion in a unique caricature-style figure with oversized fists, detailed clothing, and natural fighting stances. I was thrilled to see Mauricio "Shogun" Rua with details right down to his ripped, tatooed biceps!
These are a must-have for any collector or MMA/UFC fan.
And for any purists out there who say anything that doesn't bend at the elbows should technically be called a doll...a nice gentleman called "The Pit Bull" will be stopping by your house later to straighten things out.

Kimbo!!
So word has it that Kimbo Slice is going to be appearing on the upcoming season of the Ultimate Fighter, which is the UFC's reality show.
The season will feature all heavyweights, rather than different weight classes, as it has in the past.
Is this a good move for Kimbo Slice, the internet sensation that fizzled out late last year?
Does he have a chance to win the Ultimate Fighter?

Sean Sherk Vs. Frank Edgar
The first televised fight of the night at UFC 98 on Saturday will be Sean Sherk vs. Frank Edgar.
Sean Sherk has been one of the most maligned UFC fighters in recent memory. He's been around for quite a while, bursting into the mainstream in 2001.
Sherk is possibly best known for failing a drug test in 2007. Although there is some controversy over whether it was an actual positive test, Sherk was suspended for a year. After an appeal, Sherk was able to return after just a 6-month absence.
This fight will be entertaining simply because of the names involved. Frank Edgar was featured in the MTV show , True Life: I'm a Mixed Martial Artist. So, combined with the similar fighting styles of the two, it will be an intriguing fight.
I think that Sherk will follow up his last win, over Tyson Griffin and dispose of Frank Edgar early on. Should be an interesting bout, let's see what happens!

UFC 98
UFC 98 is coming up this weekend, and as usual, Dana White has put together a card that any MMA fan will enjoy.
White, though outspoken, does what every sport's commissioner should do. He listens to input from fans and he truly cares about the fights that he presents.
Saturday night will be no exception.
In addition to the Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida match, which will leave one of the competitors with their first career loss, there will be many other interesting match-ups.
The under card include match-ups of Sean Sherk vs. Frank Edgar, Dan Miller Vs. Chael Sonnen, Drew McFedries Vs. Xavier Foupa-Pokam and the one that just about everyone is looking forward to, Matt Hughes vs. Matt "The Terror" Serra.
I will be reviewing these fights in detail leading up to the event on Saturday night, with some interesting perspectives on each match-up, so be on the lookout.

Chuck Liddell Is Still Tougher Than You Or Me
There's more big news out of the UFC this week.
After multiple poor showings, rumblings of Chuck Liddell retiring is blowing up.
Liddell, along with Randy Couture and more recently Brock Lesnar, can easily be credited with bringing Mixed Martial Arts into the mainstream.
I remember the first time I heard of Chuck Liddell. It was about three years ago, and I couldn't tell you the first thing about MMA.
It was a Sunday night and I was watching "Entourage" (which probably deserves it's own retirement, but that's for another day.)
Out of nowhere, a menacing figure pops up in the show and a "star" is born.
Unfortunately for him, despite his popularity in the media, his career has been on the downturn. He most recently lost at UFC 93 in April to "Shogun" Rua , which caused Dana White to announce that Liddell is retiring, without waiting for input from the fighter.
In a very strong statement, White said, "At the end of the day, I care about these guys. I don't want to see anybody stick around too long. You're never going to see Chuck Liddell on the canvas again."
It's a big loss for the world of UFC and MMA if Liddell decides to officially announce his retirement. I'm only one man, but if you ask me, Chuck Liddell is going to pull a Brett Favre and make at least one comeback.

UFC
Some exciting news from the UFC this week.
On the heels of a disappointing fight between Anderson Silva and Thales Leites, Dana White, commissioner of the UFC announced that Silva will be taking on Forest Griffin in Philadelphia this summer.
This will be the UFC's first foray into Philadelphia and it is sure to be an exciting fight.
Unfortunately, Mixed Martial Arts is still not sanctioned in New York or New Jersey, so this may be the closest UFC will get to the Metropolitan area.
While the big money fight would really be Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva, this fight is not far off.
It will be an exciting summer for MMA, especially UFC.
