UFC 101 is less than a month away and I’m not all that excited.  Aside from the BJ Penn vs Kenny Florian lightweight title fight and Anderson Silva taking on Forrest Griffin, I don’t care for any of the other match ups on the card.  Sure Kurt Pellegrino vs Josh Neer has potential to be fight of the night but that’s a bout I expect to see on a Fight Night card not a PPV. If history repeats itself and BJ Penn is forced to display the Mixed in mixed martial arts, Kenny “Ken-Flo” Florian should defeat BJ and become…

If you watched UFC 100 you saw Brock Lesnar gave Frank Mir a good old fashion ass whipping.  For that, no one can really say much except “wow, that must have hurt”.  However if you stuck around to see the end of the fight and how Brock Lesnar reacted to his victory, you would have seen a showing of poor sportsmanship that generated a dark cloud over the UFC and MMA as a sport.  Most fight fans would agree that the champ, Lesnar, took his beef with Frank Mir way too far. A Frank Mir quote from the Las Vegas Review-Journal shows what it…

According to Dana White’s Twitter posting, he and Tito Ortiz have squashed their long lasting beef with one another.  For quite some time, these two were doing their best to destroy each other, but things apparently have changed and some people are talking about Tito Ortiz getting another run in the octagon.  Many many MMA fans would love to see that happen.  Tito Ortiz, to this day, is still one of MMA’s most popular figures. So, will Tito Ortiz get to come back the UFC?  Not so fast says Dana White, here is his twitter post. “Yes Tito and I…

The competition in MMA is heating up, not only in the ring or cage, but in the business side of things as well.  With the UFC holding the torch, many other fight promotions are attempting to get on board with the worlds fastest growing sport.  Organizations like Affliction have an up hill battle against the ruthless business tactics of the UFC’s President Dana White and are having to fight tooth an nail to keep their head above water.  A recent article on MMA Junkie brought question to whether or not Affliction’s up coming fight, “Trilogy” could make or break the…

Shinya Aoki (-245, BetCRIS) vs Vitor Ribeiro (+200, Bodog) This is more of a grappling match set to MMA rules. Both of these lightweight fighters are BJJ badasses and will most likely take the fight to the ground. Shinya Aoki is the current WAMMA lightweight champion with a record of 20-4. Twelve of those victories have come via submission and he is skilled at both the top and bottom BJJ game. He is also known for his exciting flying submission attacks in competition (a la Dave Camarillo). He is 5’11” with a very lean and lanky body that allows him…

It doesn’t matter how intensive your workouts are. If your muscles are covered under fat, you will still look plump. Only your diet and exercise intensity matter. Healthy diet is the easiest way to lose fat. Make sure you eat right, not little. Many women just do not eat enough. When they feel unhappy about the way their belly or hips look, women stop eating at all hoping to lose fat there. And that’s the worst idea you can come up with. Eating a Little to Lose Weight. Does It Work? It doesn’t make sense to eat a little. If…

The numbers are in for UFC 100 payouts, and I have to say, it’s a bit steep, and a little bit unfair, but that’s just me. The new heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar earned $400,000 for his seven minutes of tossing Frank Mir around the cage like a chew toy. Lesnar’s figures do not reflect a win bonus because he didn’t get one. Mir walked away with $45,000, kissing goodbye the $45,000 win bonus. Had Mir won by some miracle, that number still totals less than $100,000! Not even a quarter of what his abuser made. But votes cast by viewing…

So I have been getting one too many e-mails lately about new users asking me insanely stupid questions, and how this is their first , second, or third cycle. Now trust me , I don’t mind helping, I actually enjoy it, but pure stupidity is just plain unacceptable. It normally goes along the lines of  ” Why am I not gaining weight” or ” Why isn’t my body fat going down” or my favorite ” Why isn’t my strength going up”. Now in certain context these aren’t bad questions, but when I have to spend 3-5 e-mails dragging out of…

When the UFC first hit the scene back in 1993, there were few rules and even fewer weight classes. Actually, there were no weight classes. The UFC was essentially an open weight tournament. But back then, it was more of a sideshow than an actual sport. Fighters entered the arena with dancers, some sporting afro wigs, I even remember seeing a guy fight with just one boxing glove. Back then, the concept of mixed martial arts was something new and something that was actually still coming to form. The fighters usually entered the octagon versed in their own discipline, unlike…

As you do cycling in a gym, has it ever occurred to you that the energy you create could be transferred into something more useful than just your sweat. Now your energy could do a lot more. Architect Mitchell Joachim says that his idea could help transfer the workout vigor into another level where it could be harnessed for transportation of people along New York rivers. River gym is a floating human-powered gym that would make a real difference to your workouts. While exercising, we expend vast amounts of energy. It’s not a big deal if you don’t consider this…
