Fedor Popularity Starting To Rise, And It Should.
MMA for the longest time seemed like the domain of the trash talking, hype selling superstar, but a new breed of fighter seems to be emerging, one based more on talent, and sold less on his or her words. Names like GSP, Anderson Silva, and Machida come to mind to name a few, a select group of fighters who rarely if ever bash their opponents and prefer to settle matters in the ring. Fedor Emelianenko is the flagship of that group in this aspect, not only choosing to never bash an opponent but rather giving them respect whenever possible. “MMA is not dogs fighting in a cage,” Emelianenko said. “This is a great sport. I like to meet my opponent and show that, first of all, I respect him as a sportsman.” Opinion.

GSP And Dan Hardy Possible As TUF Coaches.
Take it for what you will, but the Telegraph.co.uk had an interesting blurb concerning UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and Dan Hardy(who is more than likely the number 1 contender). The Telegraph also understands that the UFC may be considering offering coaching places to the pair for the next series of The Ultimate Fighter. The irony in that is that Hardy has just bought a flat in his native town of Nottingham with his American girlfriend, who lives in LA and works in the fashion industry, planning to move to the UK. Hardy had spent the last few years living in LA, between returning for training camps.
The MMA News Opinion: MMA Judging Needs Serious Attention
With yet another controversial decision, this time coming from the victory awarded to Randy Couture over Brandon Vera, it’s time for the various athletic commissions and/or organizations to step up. It’s time for them to ensure that their judges are completely versed in Mixed Martial Arts and not just veteran Boxing judges who have only their own dated notions to go on. Otherwise, expect the same suspicious eye that’s turned towards boxing matches, and the subsequent cries of fixing to rise to a much higher level.

Brandon Vera “Pissed” About Judges Decision
Fresh off his stinging decision loss to UFC hall of famer Randy Couture, Brandon Vera recently talked to Sherdog about the bout’s final verdict. Here’s the quote: “I’m pissed, I’m really pissed, but the sport of MMA, she, MMA, is a b—h and if you let it go to the judges, you let it out of your hands, you know? So, I’m going to take the blame for this loss. I’m going to man up…I should have finished it. I had a couple of opportunities to during the fight that I should have finished it. I’m super happy I got to fight Randy Couture, my hero, my legend, and let the rest of the light heavyweight division know that I’m going to whip you’re a– if you get into the Octagon with me.”

“Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers” Peaks At 5.46 Million Viewers
The solid ratings mean Strikeforce should return to the CBS airwaves in early 2010. Strikeforce and CBS executives were mum on future plans last week during pre-event festivities for “Fedor vs. Rogers.” “Those are decisions that will be made next week once we’ve had a chance … to look at the numbers,” Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

Andrei Arlovski Looks To Return In December
Interestingly, Arlovski, who is coming off a pair of knockout losses this year to Fedor Emelianenko in January and Brett Rogers in June, could have fought on the Fedor vs. Rogers card this past weekend. Arlovski was offered Mike Whitehead, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (Whitehead and Sokoudjou would have moved up in weight) and finally Antonio Silva, but parties could not agree to the matchups. This December, former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski (15-7) will make his MMA return with Strikeforce or as part of the Sengoku or Dynamite!! 2009 on New Year’s Eve shows in Japan. FanHouse has learned that Arlovski’s management has been in discussions with the aforementioned organizations and Arlovski is currently training to potentia...

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...

Frank Shamrock Wants To Fight For Eight More Years
One of mixed martial arts legends, Frank Shamrock (23-10-2), plans on competing for another eight years before he retires. Talking to FanHouse.com, the former UFC and WEC light-heavyweight champ, as well as former Strikeforce middleweight title holder, talked about his future prospects within the sport of MMA. “If they give the next middleweight title shot to me, it’s because I have a famous name,” Shamrock said. “It would be because it would bring in TV viewers, not because I’ve earned it.” Shamrock last fought on April 11 against Nick Diaz in a catch-weight fight of 179 pounds. Diaz won the bout via TKO in the second round of the Strikeforce show.

“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? Brett Rogers: I think he’s one of the best, looking at his record and his history he’s definitely great. But he’s facing a new, improved heavyweight: He hasn’t fought anyone like me. The way I see it, he hasn’t been tested the way I’m about to test him.

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. The reality is, I set up the fight for him on XFC, and even though Roger is out, he still got an opportunity and a payday out of it [at the September 5th event]. Now it’s time to settle this score between these two once and for all.” Press Release What started out as simply a potentially great fight has evolved into a blood feud between MMA Big Show Welterweight Champion “Relentless” Roger Bowling (6-0) and former UFC bad boy War Machine (10-2). After having to pull out of a fight against Machine twice due to injury, Bowling is being forced to defend himself [...]

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...

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.

MMA Quotes: Brock Lesnar.
Q: Watching the Ultimate Fighter series definitely gives U.F.C fans an inside view of how childish many of the young fighters are. I call them punks. In your experience with the U.F.C., what percentage of the fighters still have this “punk” mentality? Q: Why do U.F.C. fighters seem to have better sportsmanship (i.e., hugging each other after a fight) while other televised fighters (W.W.E.) have little or no sportsmanship and turn the fight into a soap opera? A: Because U.F.C. fighters are really fighting and professional wrestlers are entertaining. After you fight somebody, in most cases there is a certain mutual respect.

Rampage Jackson Vs. Wanderlei Silva Rumors
The fight between these two will likely happen but the question of November is a hard one to know. UFC will market these two and the fight should garner good viewership, but with Noguiera returning in December, a GSP BJ Penn fight on the horizon and a Liddell-Evans battle upcoming there’s no real rush. Suspect the fight to occur, but it will require some luck for the fight to occur in November. There are tons of rumors circulating about a possible November bout between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Wanderlei Silva and while most of the MMA world would love to see a third fight between the two(Wanderlei won the first two, one via TKO and the other via KO) it’s going to take some work for the [...]
