  • Tito Ortiz New Beginning

    20 Nov 2009 | 2:01 am
    Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - The UFC 59 fight poster read "Reality Check", and for five minutes, it certainly was for Forrest Griffin, who was battered for much of the opening stanza of his 2006 bout on the card by a man who had reigned over the light heavyweight division longer than anyone else in UFC history, Tito Ortiz.

  • Forrest Griffin The Quest to Get That Winning Feeling Back

    19 Nov 2009 | 9:01 pm
    Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - "Where's Forrest?" Missing in action for a few days last month, Forrest Griffin was suddenly a wanted man when Mark Coleman got injured and was forced to withdraw from his UFC 106 bout with Tito Ortiz. But the former UFC light heavyweight champion was nowhere to be found.

  • Kos and Effect

    19 Nov 2009 | 12:15 pm
    Mike Russell, UFC - If confidence were currency, Josh Koscheck would be Donald Trump and if the 31-year-old's worth is as high as he feels it is, he believes a win over highly-touted knockout artist Anthony "Rumble" Johnson at UFC 106 November 24 could very well outbid all potential UFC welterweight title shot claimants.

    20 Nov 2009 | 2:10 pm
    LAS VEGAS - Welterweight Phil Baroni (13-11 MMA, 3-5 UFC) has been on the big stage before. Whether it was Baroni's previous eight-fight run in the UFC or his sequin-robed waltz down the EliteXC entrance ramps on CBS, the "New York Bad Ass" is no stranger to public attention. But as Baroni prepares for a return trip the world-famous octagon, the 33-year-old is shedding some of his previous antics in favor of a new title: a poor man's Josh Koscheck.

    20 Nov 2009 | 12:11 pm
    Josh Koscheck is a man people love to hate. At this point it's safe to say he's embraced his role as the bad guy and continues to use it to fuel his fire. Baseball Hall-of-Famer Reggie Jackson once said, "Fans don't boo nobodies," and that statement rings true with regards to Koscheck as well. "Kos" is a legitimate top ten welterweight contender and has been for some time. Lately, however, he's been on a bit of a roller coaster going 2 - 2 in his last four fights and alternating wins and losses. Most recently he registered a first round knockout of Frank Trigg at UFC 103. The UFC then…

Only seven of the 20 athletes who competed on the card have been sidelined by the commission doctors, including former WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown, who lost his 145-pound title to Jose Aldo.

    20 Nov 2009 | 2:20 pm
    Tito Ortiz may be a better trash-talker but Forrest Griffin is a better quote. The quotes are rarely about his fighting or career, but they're still classics. This discussion on why he curses so often is dynamite.  "I don't know why I cuss so much. I'm around gyms all the time. Damn, dirty apes," Griffin told the gathered media at UFC 106 workout day. He told the scribes that his bad language gave him an idea for his next book:  "The preface of my new book is 'My mother told me when I was a kid that cussing is a sign of low intelligence and low vocabulary.

    Steve Cofield
    20 Nov 2009 | 1:15 pm
    Josh Koscheck is a promoter's dream. He'll fight anyone, anytime, even with less than eight weeks to prepare for a fight. When the UFC needed a major fight to fill the gap left by Brock Lesnar at UFC 106, matchmaker Joe Silva brainstormed and came up with an excellent fight featuring Koscheck against Anthony Johnson. Frankly, Kos should've said no unless he was guaranteed a UFC welterweight title shot with a win. But he didn't do that and he's taking all the risk against a guy who's biggest wins have come against Yoshiyuki Yoshida, Kevin Burns and Luigi Fioravanti. Koscheck (13-4, 11-4 UFC)…

He served time for a steroid suspension back in 2007 and fought in organizations like EliteXC, Icon Sport, Cage Rage and Palace Fighting Championship. So when Baroni got an offer to return to the big leagues after five years away, he wasn't about quibble over his opponent. Fellow gym member Amir Sadollah from Xtreme Couture was offered up and Baroni jumped at the chance. "You take what you can get. We're professionals. Fight first, friends later.

It's good hardcore fight fans card but certainly lacks the pizzazz it appeared to have when Brock Lesnar versus Shane Carwin was the headliner. Tito Ortiz-Forrest Griffin has been bumped up to fill the hole and it's a pretty intriguing fight from a gambling standpoint. Is Tito healthy physically? And is Griffin healthy mentally? Josh Kosheck and Anthony Johnson stepped up on less than a month's notice to hep the UFC rebuild this card. There's a wild scenario right now at Las Vegas sports…

    19 Nov 2009 | 1:25 pm
    Visual evidence isn't the sole indicator of PED (Performance-Enhancing Drugs) use. After all, there have been relievers in Major League Baseball that have been busted for PED's. Plenty of athletes use them to recover from injury and fatigue, rather than to gain muscle mass. Of course, being able to get stronger as well as recover quicker is a nice bonus. In almost every sport, added strength is an advantage. I wrote the other day that I believe that Brock Lesnar has used in the past, and is probably still using, PED's. The past aspect of that statement is easy to prove. the guy was in WWE for…

  • UFC 106: Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz 2 Predictions

    Luke Thomas

    UFC 106: November 21, 2009Mandalay Bay Events CenterLas Vegas, NevadaMain card:Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz Luke Thomas: I just have no idea what to expect from Ortiz. I also expect Griffin to show the same weakness in his takedown defense that has come to be a liability he just can't shed, but I expect him to stuff Oritz's shots enough to do damage standing. Griffin by decision.Kid Nate: Tito is a huge X factor here. Has the back surgery really had a dramatic impact? How rusty will he be? In their first fight, Tito crushed Forrest for one round, edged him in the second and faded in the…

I guess you know you're famous when a world champion can't get the Pay-Per-View buys and wants to fight someone who gets him more Pay-Per-View buys.

    UFC 106's main event light heavyweight tilt will feature the return of what many consider to be one of the most influential fighters among the casual fanbase the UFC has ever produced. Tito Ortiz (15-6-1, 14-6-1 UFC) will finally make his return to the ranks of the UFC following a year-and-a-half layoff due to a contract dispute, free agency talks with other promotions, an appearance on The Apprentice, and back surgery.

Unfortunately for him, he is a B+ fighter in an era of A’s.  Every time he has stepped up and fought the true legends of the sports, BJ Penn, Georges St, Pierre and Matt Hughes, he has lost. But I admire him more for that.  He is not running on talent alone, but hard work and dedication.  I’ve always valued heart over natural talent.  As he begins…

    20 Nov 2009 | 3:14 pm
    Josh Koscheck is a man people love to hate. At this point it's safe to say he's embraced his role as the bad guy and continues to use it to fuel his fire. Baseball Hall-of-Famer Reggie Jackson once said, "Fans don't boo nobodies," and that statement rings true with regards to Koscheck as well. "Kos" is a legitimate top ten welterweight contender and has been for some time. Lately, however, he's been on a bit of a roller coaster going 2 - 2 in his last four fights and alternating wins and losses. Most recently he registered a first round knockout of Frank Trigg at UFC 103. The UFC then…

    According to Brock Lesnar's jiu-jitsu coach, Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros, the big man is healing up after his surgery and will "be fighting again within six months."  That means Lesnar-Carwin could take place this spring, and there will be no need for an interim title or any other such nonsense.  Great, right?  Only maybe we should consider the possibility, however minor, that "Comprido" is substituting blind optimism for medical knowledge. If we can believe what Dana White says, Lesnar had a hole in his intestine that was leaking stuff into his…

    (Photo by Esther Lin, for Strikeforce.) Kerry Vera and Kim Couture are set to go at it tonight in the Strikeforce Challengers event in Kansas City.  Since they both share the names of famous UFC fighters who just faced one another, it probably seemed like a genius idea to Strikeforce.  But "Sugar Free" is a Couture in the same way that Ivana is a Trump.  When a name helps that much you hang on to it, even if you didn't hang on to the husband.  So what do you think, is your interest in this bout harmed by the somewhat disappointing display put on by their male…

    (Melanson and Parisyan, before it all fell apart. Props: elitefts.com) In a new interview with Five Ounces of Pain, Karo Parisyan's longtime friend and training partner Neil Melanson confirmed that Parisyan's latest last-minute fight-cancellation was directly related to the painkiller addiction that has haunted him for years. After Melanson got permission from Karo to go public with the story, he laid it all out: “Karo’s had some problems with an addiction to pain medicine due to an injury he sustained a few years ago.

  • WEC 44: Jose Aldo, the New King of the Featherweights

    Jim Genia
    19 Nov 2009 | 8:49 am
    here’s a new 145-pound king on the throne, and if his performance at WEC 44 is of any indication, his reign may last quite a while. Taking on incumbent champ Mike Brown, a man who’d defeated superstar Urijah Faber twice and wrecked Leonard Garcia in a title defense, Jose Aldo definitely should have had his work cut out for him. But Aldo, a Nova Unao-trained jiu-jitsu black belt, had the momentum of a string of dominant performances going for him, and that, plus his dangerous striking, unearthly speed and unbridled aggression, made for a featherweight championship match-up that on paper…

They understand the nuances and intricacies that it takes to get people not only interested in them but interested in paying to see their fights. Ortiz, in particularly, really knows how to sell himself and sell his opponent while managing to mock his rivals. The five golden rules that separate Tito and…

The original UFC 106 fight card looks very different from the list of fights we will get to see this weekend.

Top welterweight Jon Fitch was the victim of a double-whammy as his first opponent, Ricardo Almeida, suffered a new injury and his replacement opponent, Thiago Alves, also suffered an injury during training.

    After watching the main event between “The Natural” Randy Couture (17-10) and “Truth” Brandon Vera (11-4) at UFC 105 in Manchester Saturday, I realized that MMA judging is clearly arbitrary. Randy won a unanimous decision with scores of 29-28, 30-27, and 30-27.  This decision, along with the fight between Fighters.com and UFC Light Heavyweight Champion “Dragon” Lyoto Machida (16-0) and third-ranked “Shogun” Mauricio Rua (18-4) made me wonder just what the judges are looking for and scoring during a fight.

An unfortunate intestinal illness has forced Lesnar off the card much to the dismay of the fans. Replacing that bout in the main event will feature a highly anticipated rematch between former Light-Heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin. Also in the co-main event, explosive welterweights Anthony “Rumble” Johnson and Josh Koscheck clash in a bout with potential title implications. Let’s preview the main card. Tito Ortiz vs.

The first round featured a display of stand up that leaned in the favor of Aldo. Brown attempted to bring down the challenger, but Aldo’s takedown defense proved too much for the champion, whose wrestling pedigree is hardly anything to scoff at. Round two saw Brown go for another desperate takedown after getting tagged by Aldo. The takedown…

    He may well be the worst coach of all time - in any sport - and Quinton Rampage Jackson has a laundry list of reasons why he just didn’t like the job of coaching fighters on the SpikeTV reality series The Ultimate Fighter 10: Heavyweights. “I actually hated coaching.

And I ain’t gonna lie – the pay f**king sucked for how much work I did.” Author Jason…

Mike Brown is one hardass dude and Aldo worked him over like a man picking a whole fried chicken clean at a barbecue. We’ll let Tito in next month if he manages to take out Forrest Griffin…

    When Karo Parisyan backed out of the fight against Dustin Hazelett on the UFC 106 card tomorrow night, UFC president Dana White moved the Paulo Thiago vs. Jacob “Christmas” Volkman up to the main card. White said Hazelett would receive his fight purse for showing up - and winning by default - since it wasn’t his fault the fight won’t come off. There’s still no official reason from Parisyan’s camp for the last-second cancellation…
