Strikeforce”Fedor Vs. Rogers” The Good The Bad And The Ugly
With the first collaboration between Strikeforce, M-1 Global, and CBS finished, one has to think that the respective companies are quite happy with the end results. Here’s our take on the night, in our usual column we call “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” Fedor continues to speak(through a translator mind you) with a humility that many other MMA fighters could learn for. Fedor deserves some respect just for his consummate professionalism, and his lack of trash talk. The five round fight between Jake Shields and Mayhem Miller, while a grappling exercise, was tedious and seemed at times to stall considerably. Despite the solid ground skills of both fighters, the hold downs by Shields seemed to drag on. Shields gained the victory, but certai...

“He (Fedor) Hasn’t Fought Anyone Like Me,” Brett Rogers
FanHouse: Most people consider Fedor the best heavyweight in the world and maybe the best MMA fighter ever. Is that what you think?

Wanderlei Silva Sides With Shogun And Calls For MMA Judging Reform
In an interview with Fighters Only magazine “The Axe Murderer” Wanderlei Silva is quick to side with Mauricio “Shogun” Rua as the victor on Saturday’s UFC 104 event. The five-round unanimous decision victory, one that has stirred a lot of controversy within the MMA community, was awarded to the current UFC champion Lyoto Machida. Silva also calls for a change in the way mixed martial arts bouts are judged. The Brazilian used his recent unanimous decision loss to Rich Franklin at UFC 99 as an example of poor judging, a fight he thought he had won. Silva believes the current system - with many judges not coming from an MMA background - needs reforming for the sake of the sport and the sake of the fighters.

MFC Lightweight Champ Antonio McKee Says He’d ‘Kick BJ’s Butt”
Antonio McKee: You got to remember that I’m also a very good coach. I’ve worked with “Rampage,” I work with some of the high-end profile fighters. They all know who I am. Unfortunately when you’re doing what I’m doing: I own a gym, I’m promoting “Knockout Promotions.” For a lot of local companies it doesn’t make sense for them to use me as their posterboy, as their star when they’re paying me peanuts and crumbs and I’m also a promoter doing shows. I understand the UFC. They don’t want competition six, seven years from now. Look at Golden Boy Promotions. Look at what they’re doing. Now [Oscar De La Hoya] is pretty much running boxing. And he’s a former boxer who decided he didn’t want to box no more and he wanted to make some real money and promote. So here I am ju...

MMA Big Show’s Roger Bowling Wants War Machine
No excuses,” says Appleton. “[War Machine] makes it sound like Roger having to pull out due to an injury is somehow a big loss for him.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson Responds To White And Evans Comments
Make no mistake the UFC treated me a lot better than Pride. If you get hurt in training in a UFC fight then will send you to the best doctors. If you get hurt in a Pride fight most of the time they will tell me “oh you better take care of that!” The UFC will always let you know in a timely matter who you will be fighting & give you enough time to train but with Pride if I knew 4 weeks ahead I would be happy cause most times they just give you a 2 weeks notice. Pride will rip you off on your merchandising but the UFC would find someway to hook you up on merchandising deals. Pride will make fights easier for certain fighters inside the ring (like standing up fights early). With the UFC whatever happens happens. The only thing I see the UFC needs to fix in this area is to...

According To Dana White, Anderson Silva IS Having Elbow Surgery
In a recent interview with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s manager, Ed Soares, he assured Silva’s fans that the champ was NOT having surgery to his elbow and that he was 200% ready to fight.

Frank Mir On Kimbo Slice
“Let’s face it, the public’s perception of MMA is not exactly fantastic. Every time guys like Tank Abbot or Krazy Horse (Charles Bennett) fought or even now with Kimbo Slice; every time Kimbo fights it sets the sport back. Guys like that just reinforce the idea in the public’s eye that we are all blood thirsty barbarians who just want to pummel each other and that there is no skill required. Guys like them do the sport a disservice.” Kimbo Slice is set to return to the ring and face Ken Shamrock on October 4th, while you can catch Mir as a coach on TUF 8.

Matt Hughes On Evan Tanner.
Matt Hughes recently took time on his blog to talk about the death and life of Evan Tanner. Here’s the quote: I didn’t really know Evan that well, we never spoke much; but news like this makes me wish that I had taken the time to get to know him a little better. He was 37 years old, only a couple of years older than me. Sometimes we think that we have all the time in the world to get to know people; but when someone who’s still pretty young passes away we realize just how fragile life is and how we can’t take those people around us for granted. Some people saw this coming based on the blog entries that he had posted before leaving for his trip, but it still comes as a shock to MMA fans and fighters all over the world.
