Is Fedor the best?

Love him or hate him, the guy has proved what he is made of every time he gets in the cage/ring. Brett Rogers looked better than expected and had Fedor looking vulnerable in the first round.

UFC 105 Couture vs Vera; 11-14-09

UFC 104 Info & Predictions

What: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun

When: The undercard starts at 7 PM ET Saturday, Spike TV will show an hour of fights beginning at 9 and the pay-per-view begins at 10.

Where: Staples Center, Los Angeles

Predictions:

Main Event Machida vs Shogun

Both fighters are going to start slow and conservative. Action should pick up pace towards the end of the round, but don’t look for a clear round 1 winner. This round will probably go both ways on judges score cards.

Round two will start much the same but the action will pick up a minute or two into the round. After several good exchanges from both fighters Shogun will rock Machida and eventually finish him.

Shogun wins via TKO

Rest of the Card:

Cain Velasquez vs. Ben Rothwell

Cain and Ben might have the opprotunity for fight of the night or most boring fight of the night. Cain is feeling the pressure to finish fights from both fans and UFC execs. I’m looking for Cain to finish this fight in round one with a surprising KO.

Cain Valasquez wins via KO in the First (or a snoozefest descision)

Read a prediction from MMA Fan House… what do you think?

“Joe Stevenson vs. Spencer Fisher
Stevenson came back from a two-fight losing streak with a big win over Nate Diaz at the UFC Fight Night in June, but I like Fisher, who’s on a three-fight winning streak, to keep this fight standing and beat Stevenson on his feet. Pick: Fisher.”

Hardy and the newly humbeled Bisping promotin UFC 105

God love Dan Hardy and still hate that douche Michael Bisping. Bisping doesn’t appear to be humbeled post Dan Henderson KO. I would like to see him with a change of attitude, but unfortunately that is Bisping… an English douche bag.

Dana Talks last weeks UFN and Rampage’s Future

Dana white talks about Roger Huerta’s future in MMA. Roger wants to head out into the acting world. I think he’ll do great, Dana was surprisingly understanding of his decision.

Dana also discusses Rampage pullin out of his fight to get into acting. Rampage is going to be Mr. T in the next A Team movie. Dana was pretty understanding of Roger Huerta but fairly disappointed in Rampage.

Dana also talked about taking on Network TV. He said by this time next year he’ll put a PPV card on Network TV for free. That would be huge for the sport. When EliteXC tried this they put all of their chips on Kimbo slice… rolled the dice…. and failed.

The UFC doesn’t have to roll the dice on a controversial fighter. They have the best in the business.

Dana White discusses Floyd “money” Mayweather’s fight

So UFC 103 is the same night as Floyd Mayweather’s return to boxing from retirement. Floyd is fighting Juan Manuel Marquez…. or something like that. The whole ‘I’m retiring’ then returning thing is so…. Brett Favre-ish. I hate when boxers do this. Floyd should never have retired in the first place.

Dana White has some one-sided opinions on the fight… check em out

I enjoy boxing… probably as much if not more sometimes than MMA. But the UFC is the biggest MMA stage in the world. A great boxing match can’t compete with an average UFC card. UFC 103 comes complete with a card featuring:

Main Event: Rich Franklin vs Vitor Belfort
Co-Mainer: Mikro Cro Cop vs Junior Dos Santos

Televised Card:
Koschek vs Trigg
Griffin vs Franca
Escudero vs Miller

May not be televised:
McFredries vs Drwal
Miller vs Lopez
and a handful of other bottom rung UFC’ers like Rob Emerson who looks to start his come back against Rafael Dos Anjos

Look for predictions to come as the fight nears.

Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg weigh in last night.

Strikeforce weighins were conducted last night. Every fighter looks good and ready to roll. Even Gina and Cris came in at or underweight.

Here is the video you have all been dying for…. Gina Carano weighing in. Almost as exciting as watching her kick ass.
