With UFC 101 quickly approaching some are wondering if BJ Penn will be able to defend his Lightweight Title against Kenny Florian. Penn and Florian are scheduled to go head to head in a battle for the belt in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 8, 2009. With the “Grease-gate” scandal still unresolved, this fight may escalate the controversy with the recent press that confirms Kenny Florian training under George St. Pierre. Kenny Florian has been training for his bout against Penn at the Tri-Star Gym in Canada with George St. Pierre. In a recent interview with MMA Weekly Florian said “It…

“I don’t think tapping would be allowed if I saw him” – Kimo At UFC 3 a man simply known as Kimo walked down to the octagon carrying a Cross preaching the word of the Lord.  Royce Gracie preached Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 101 and submitted him at the 4:40 mark of the bout. Despite the loss, the pony-tailed born again Hawaiian sporting a large “Jesus” tattoo across his stomach, earned himself a spot in UFC history as being the first man to make the Brazilian champion appear beatable.  Kimo would go on to fight 5 more times in the UFC…

Wonder how the best pound for pound fighter in the world, Fedor Emelianenko works out? The Fedor workout reminds me of Rocky Balboa’s workout in Rocky IV, where he goes to Russia and stays at a remote cabin, runs in the snow and does sit-ups from the rafters. Similarly, as shown in this video, Fedor doesn’t train in some fancy gym with a bunch of fancy equipment. He’s hitting a tractor tire with at make shift sledgehammer. He’s doing pull ups from a pull up bar on a jungle gym. He is spinning himself in circles to get dizzy and…

With Anthony Roberts’ new book coming out ” Generation S” , I have to say I am looking forward to it, but I am a little concerned about the opinions of non-steroid users once the truth comes out. I know we aren’t looked at in a good light, but most information they know of is bogus anyway. When others see what really happens within the steroid world they will have factual reasons to dislike the culture, and it is the horrible few that ruin it for the majority. Within any culture , power can equal abuse of power. I think…

Rumors have been flying about Fedor Emelianenko and his management, M1-Global striking a deal with the UFC. Sherdog, had a chance to sit down with both Fedor and Vadim Finkelstein to discuss their recent talks with the UFC. The interviews revealed two things that are very telling of where M1-Global stands in regards to managing Fedor. The first thing is that Fedor only has 3 fights left on his contract with M1-Global. With that said, I would assume that M1-Global is being very cautious about what kinds of situations they put Fedor in. If you were managing the best pound…

A report from MMA Junkie is saying that Paul Daley (21-8-2) has signed a four fight contract with the UFC to compete in their welterweight division. Daley, who fights out of the UK, was scheduled to fight Jay Hieron at the August 1st Afflcition “Trilogy” event, but has been left hanging as the Afflcition Promotion has shut it’s doors as a fight promotion to reassume their core business as an apparel company. Daley is among many other fighter such as Fedor Emelianenko and Renato “Babalu” Sobral who have been forced to find somewhere besides Affliction to fight. Daley will…

Dana White has been accused and criticized of numerous things during his tenure as UFC president. We all know about the tirade he went on about Sherdog sportswriter Loretta Hunt. Dana received all sorts of backlash after that video blog surfaced. And any MMA fan knows that Dana is never at a loss for four letter words. There was also some controversy surrounding Dana White and EA sports. EA sports was reportedly working on their own MMA game, and Dana White pretty much told all fighters in the UFC that they would be blacklisted if they sided with EA. It’s…

At UFC 101, Anderson Silva will be gong up a weight class from where he reigns as champion at 185 lbs to fight Forrest Griffin at 205 lbs.  Many people think that it must be very hard to move up in weight and fight bigger men.  The raw size and strength difference is an obvious advantage, right?  Anderson Silva doesn’t see it that way.  In fact it seems that cutting weight is that hard part for him, not the size or strength difference of his opponents. Here is what Silva had to say about his upcoming weight class jump: “I’m used to…

The folks at MMA Fanhouse had a chance to catch up with Forrest Griffin regarding the possible return of Tito Ortiz to the Octagon.  Griffin was defeated by Ortiz via split decision at UFC 59 back in April 2006.  With Ortiz choosing not to resign with the UFC in 2008 when his contract was up, fighters like Griffin who have been beat by Ortiz have not had a chance to avenge their loss.  A return to the Octagon by Ortiz could be the perfect way for guys like Griffin to get another crack at beating the former light heavyweight champ.…
