Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (+155, Sportsbook) vs Randy Couture (-170, 5Dimes)  These two fighters should have met years ago.  Now we get to see these two legends go at when they are both past their prime.  That doesn’t mean there isn’t an opportunity to make some money though. Let’s start with the age defying former champion Randy Couture.  Since his return to the heavyweight division and retirement, he has looked amazing.  His fight with Tim Silvia to take the belt was one of the most exciting fights I’ve ever seen in the octagon.  Randy out boxed, out worked, and simply out…

First, I have to give props to Scott Coker for giving the fighters and their managers a voice on who they want to fight. As he mentioned in an interview with Cage Potato, the Brett Rogers camp asked to fight Fedor Emelianenko and Fedor’s camp asked to fight Rogers. Scott said everyone wanted to do the fight including Showtime, so they put it together. That definitely sounds rosy and all, but is this the best move for Strikeforce? Is Brett Rogers the best First opponent for Fedor at the Stirkeforce Promotion? Strikeforce just spent a heck of a lot of…

About 6 months ago I decided to do my own personal project, to further prove my point less is more. I took twins, both of who I have guided through their first cycle of test 400 mgs a week for 12 weeks , and a basic 22 day pct.  Twin A gained 14 pounds, Twin B gained 14.5 pounds, so they are right there as far as the gains. Here is what I did: With permission from both I designed two different cycles, one cycle was very conservative and the second not so conservative but not crazy. They work together…

Two popular fighters who have been out for quite some time are making their way back into the Octagon at UFC 106 to test their skills.  Karo Parisyan (18-5) was suspended for nine months after his defeat of Dong Hyun and fined $36,000 for testing positive for pain killers.  His win over Hyun was later ruled a no contest, due to the drug test results. Dustin Hazelett (12-4) on the other hand has been out since November 28th after he tore his ACL while training to fight Ben Saunders at UFC 96.  Hazelett had undergone surgery to fix the tear…

Fedor Emelianenko has caught a lot of heat in recent weeks since he signed with Strikeforce. Many people tout Fedor as the best pound for pound fighter in the world, however the folks in the UFC are constantly denying that claim. Frank Mir recently weighed in on this discussion during the DAM Radio Show and he didn’t have much to say that would support Fedor’s role as the best fighter in the world. “I think it’s an excuse to dodge the top-level competition,” Mir said. “As long as he never proves it, he can keep the No. 1 ranking. If…

So we have MLB showing what happens when they promise secrecy and somehow names leak out one by one ( funny how the majority of the names released are prominent stars , not the bums that never made it ) , and now we have senators and congressman feeling like it is their place to step in and save the sport ( funny because steroids and the juiced ball era brought baseball back to life ). Why do politicians feel the need to step in to situations where they have little to no knowledge ( like my buddy Taylor Hooten),…

Brock Lesnar has shocked the world by beating some of MMA’s best heavyweight fighters. No one can argue that a huge part of Brock Lesnar’s success has been pure strength and quickness. Few fighters in today’s world of MMA are as massive and muscular with as much flexibility and agility as Brock Lesnar. While some Mixed Martial Artists may say that it is not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog, others will tell you that physical shape and fitness does make a big difference. So what does a man…

Georges St. Pierre is arguably one of the most well conditioned athletes in the world and is said by many to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world today.  His amazing strength, speed and skill has propelled him to one of MMA’s most coveted positions as the UFC welterweight champion.  What does GSP do to prepare for the war in the Octagon?  He trains with the best training partners, he maintains a consistent and intense workout schedule and he focuses on maintaining a proper diet. GSP Trains With the Best: “I always train with better wrestlers than me, better…

Anyone wondering what time Usain Bolt may have achieved if he had not jogged the last ten metres at Beijing got an answer yesterday (Sunday 16th August 2009) when he smashed his own 100m record by 11/100ths. The 6 foot 5 inch Jamaican left the competition in his wake, no easy feat considering Tyson Gay and fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell were contenders, with a breath taking time of 9.58 seconds. The 22 year old said he felt confident after the semi finals and felt good in himself after he smashed his own record over 100m. Tyson Gay who took the…
