This Saturday, the UFC returns to Los Angeles for the first time in over three years for UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun. The card includes a light heavyweight title fight, a heavyweight fight that may determine the number one contender, two intriguing lightweight fights and a welterweight battle featuring one of the divisions top young talents. The card is far from flawless though. Dana White and company have once again burried middleweight contender Yushin Okami on the undercard despite the fact that he has won seven of eight fights since joining the UFC, including three in a row with his lone loss coming against Rich…

There’s alot more going on behind the caged scenes and events of the MMA, UFC and WEC than meets the public eye. Darrill Schoonover and other members of Team Rashad and Team Rampage are having a behind-the-scenes dispute about (believe it or not)…BREASTS! Yes, not just any breasts, but their own. Apparently, what started as just a casual joke, has now turned into a hypertensive, adrenaline spiking, testosterone increasing verbal battle. According to a scene from a recent episode….Darrill Schoonover told another member of Team Rashad, that their breasts were larger than another team member’s breasts. The argument, nearly, became…

Welcome back to this two part series! In case you didn’t read the last article, here’s a brief introduction. This series is about different methods the modern man could apply to his life to cut down on his fat intake. It requires no massive changes in your daily behaviour, but rather, just modifying a few things that you do.

There’s fat in everything nowadays. In order to cut down, I’d recommend you to follow some of these techniques. -Instead of frying your food, try different ways of cooking. These include: Grilling, Boiling, Poaching, Baking and Steaming. This is a very good tip, as it cuts down hugely in fat. -If it is essential that you fry your food, make sure that you use a non-stick pan. The reason for this?

It depends mainly on your body composition and the date of the competition. It’s best to have your body fat checked by an experienced practitioner. Water-immersion gets the most accurate results, but still fat-calipers work just fine if done correctly. On the average bodybuilders begin dieting 8 to 12 weeks out from the competition date while some find 4 to 6 weeks to be sufficient. As long as you monitor your progress daily, specifically in the final weeks, you’ll do fine. If you are not losing fat at a suitable pace then increase your cardio. According to the Ultimate Competition…

Boxing is wonderful, if not tough. Sparring, jabs, uppercuts, press-ups, sit-ups, and running, over time will transform your fitness as well as the shape of your body. If you attend any boxing gym, there will usually be a keep fit session which includes half an hour to an hour of press-ups of various sorts, nose to the ground and hold it press-ups, clap press-ups, wide press-ups to work the triceps, diamond press-ups, and normal press-ups. These will usually start off in bouts of ten, but often a timed minute of press-ups will incur. Then there are the sit-ups, which are…

This is a page out of The General’s Sports Diary… Dear Diary, As I sit here and contemplate the apparent demise (in one season) of an incredibly strong franchise like the Tennessee Titans, I’m left to wonder how they got on this road and how they got on it so quickly. Albert Haynesworthtook $100 Million to go to the Redskins (can you blame him?), Kyle Vanden Boschgot a year older, Chris Johnson and LenDale White don’t run in a “Triple Option”, Kerry Collinsgot a year older, Steve McNair died unexpectedly, the Music City Miracle is nearly 10 years old, Vince…

It is very common to feel stressed and run-down during the season where everyone is celebrating the holidays. With Halloween coming up, it is time to start thinking about the holiday season and regulating your lifestyle to keep your body in top shape throughout the season. Because there is so much stress during the holidays, your immune system can get weaken and the overall power of your body becomes weaker. You may even end up sick if you don’t take the time to take care of yourself. Here are some simple rules to follow to help you make it through…

There are a little over 30 days until the holidays begin. Of course, you want to feel healthier during the holidays, and you want to make a serious effort to add healthful food items to your diet even though it may seem impossible between the pumpkin pie and chocolate fudge.  If you start now, 30 days out from Turkey day, you can avoid starting your diet during the holidays. The holidays are a time of year that can be too overwhelming to start a diet.  Instead, gradually make dietary additions, now, by planning ahead. Add new items to your shopping…

The Trade Deadline is Tuesday and I want to speculate on some people who need to be included in “last minute” trades.  I’m not going to embarrass myself by pretending to know where these guys should go…I just know they need to go.  NOW! TRADE BAIT 2009: Let’s start with Turrull.  Buffalo picked him up because they thought he would be a nice addition to their offense.  Another big target for Trent Edwards.  Here’s the problem…the Bills stink, they’re probably moving to Toronto, and Turrull is not the same player he was just a few years ago.  Since Buffalo is…
