    The UFC was shutout for the 2nd straight year in Bloomberg Businessweek’s Top Power 100 Sports Ranking. Notably, boxers Manny Pacquiao (28) and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (49) were on the list. Drew Brees edged out Aaron Rodgers for the top spot this year. Brock Lesnar and Fedor made it on the list in 2010. The list is based on an athlete’s performance, popularity and marketability. Last year’s top spot, Peyton Manning, fell to 51st on the list. Lance Armstrong, No. 8 on the list last year, fell off the list completely as he announced his retirement last February. Despite retiring,…

    One fighter sure to be watching the action closely this weekend at UFC on FOX 2 is Dan Henderson, a top light heavyweight contender with a possible title-shot coming his way depending on how Rashad Evans fares against Phil Davis who also happens to be a teammate of Chael Sonnen. Henderson recently offered up his thoughts on both match-ups where he made it clear one of the two bouts wouldn’t be nearly as close as the other. “I don’t see Bisping even having a chance,” said Henderson to TATAME, opting to favor Sonnen’s takedown attack more than the Brit’s striking. The pick was far…

    BoxingScene.com reports that Floyd Mayweather offered Manny Pacquiao a $40 million flat fee to fight on May 5th. The offer would mean that Mayweather would keep any PPV, gate and any other fight revenue from the long-awaited matchup. The proposal was offered in a phone call Mayweather made to Pacquiao last week. Its unlikely that Pacquiao would take this offer although the $40 million would be the most he would make for one fight in his career. With this proposal, its assumed that Mayweather’s take from this proposed fight would greatly exceed $40 million. For example, Mayweather’s…

    Chris Weidman stepped in to fight top middleweight Demian Maia Saturday’s UFC on Fox 2 event on just a week’s notice, but recently told the UFC that he isn’t worried about the short-notice and instead sees it an opportunity to jump up the division ladder: “Taking the fight at a week’s notice wasn’t all that had a decision. I have an opportunity to gain a lot of recognition and get myself up to where I want to be. I was just about to eat a load of waffles when I got the call… I threw those waffles away.

  • Phil Davis – Prime Time For Mr. Wonderful

    27 Jan 2012 | 12:00 am
    Phil Davis is fighting Rashad Evans on Saturday night. But it doesn’t really matter to Davis who stands across from him on fight night. It could be Evans, it could be “Shogun” Rua, it could be light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. He’s not concerned. They’re all just names to him.“If you’re only looking to beat people, ultimately the people will continue to change,” said Davis. “I want to be the best me I can be. I don’t care who I’m gonna have to face. I just want to continue to prepare myself and advance my skills.”It’s a philosophy grown from years in the…

    In early 2006, Rashad Evans was fresh from winning The Ultimate Fighter’s second season at heavyweight and he was returning to the 205-pound weight class to begin chasing after a UFC title. He was just a prospect then, unbeaten with the world ahead of him. Yet before his fight with Sam Hoger, he spoke of a philosophy that would serve him well in the future. He called it “embracing the suffering.” When reminded of this in a recent interview before his Saturday FOX main event against Phil Davis, he laughed.“The theme for this camp has been embracing the suffering,” said Evans,…

    Whether he wins or loses, Joey Beltran is not in the business of having easy fights. If his hand is raised at the end of the night, his face can sometimes look like it was on the wrong end of a decision, not the right one. It’s a tough way to make a living, but you’ll never hear “The Mexicutioner” complain; in fact, it’s usually just the opposite as soon as he accepts his next fight and the idea that for 15 minutes or less, he’s going to be working harder than most of us could imagine.“It’s definitely something that I have to mentally prepare myself for, and just be…

  • UFC on FOX 2 gets green-light with all fighters on target at weigh-ins

    Jack Burton
    27 Jan 2012 | 6:45 pm
    The UFC on FOX 2 weigh-ins came and went this afternoon without a hitch after all twenty competitors hit their necessary marks. The situation marked a nice change after the last two events featured at least one fighter not making weight, most notably in the case of Anthony Johnson who was released by the UFC as a result. Two of tomorrow night’s primary pairings featured opponents with identical weights, as Rashad Evans-Phil Davis were both 205 pounds on the dot with Michael Bisping-Chael Sonnen each coming in at 185. Meanwhile Chris Weidman was actually a pound lighter than Demian Maia, a…

    27 Jan 2012 | 4:30 pm
    The worlds of WWE and the UFC intertwined this week during the MMA organization’s stop in Chicago for tomorrow night’s UFC on FOX 2 event. While some may point to co-headlining middleweight Chael Sonnen’s microphone mastery at a recent press conference as being akin to those possessed by some of professional wrestling’s greats, it’s actually the man who was scheduled to accompany Sonnen to the cage that has been the real focus where WWE is concerned. CM Punk has been a longtime supporter of Mixed Martial Arts (and self-admitted BJJer), even incorporating certain techniques into his…

  • Dan Henderson: “I don’t see Bisping even having a chance.”

    Jack Burton
    27 Jan 2012 | 1:15 pm
    One fighter sure to be watching the action closely this weekend at UFC on FOX 2 is Dan Henderson, a top light heavyweight contender with a possible title-shot coming his way depending on how Rashad Evans fares against Phil Davis who also happens to be a teammate of Chael Sonnen. Henderson recently offered up his thoughts on both match-ups where he made it clear one of the two bouts wouldn’t be nearly as close as the other. “I don’t see Bisping even having a chance,” said Henderson to TATAME, opting to favor Sonnen’s takedown attack more than the Brit’s striking. The pick was far…

    27 Jan 2012 | 6:30 am
    At a crucial time where Maximum Fighting Championship is taking strides to become one of the largest MMA organizations in the world, the news that lightweight champ Antonio McKee missed weight for his scheduled bout tonight caused the company to take immediate action. McKee, scheduled to fight Brian Cobb on the at the top of tomorrow night’s MFC 32 event, weighed in for his title match at 162 pounds, seven over the title match limit of 155. The company, owned by the often outspoken Mark Pavelich, took to social media immediately after the weigh-ins to announce McKee had been stripped of…

    You might not think that Muay Thai and poker have much in common at first glance, but the two actually share a lot of elements, especially for those looking to excel and master them. Poker games are unique in the world of gambling as they typically boil down into a contest between two opponents, with each circling and looking for an opening and an edge over the other; unlike other gambling games poker doesn’t involve competing against a house advantage and in the long run rewards the most skillful player sitting at the table. Both Muay Thai and poker involve a leap of faith when…

    The gym is located just off Sairee beach, which is the main party beach on the island. Everyone there is friendly and sessions usually start with a light jog which the locals like to do before the actual sessions. There is a lot of emphasis on clinching after the actual pad work and it’s nice to always have one of the trainers, when they aren’t busy, to shout tips and techniques when your in the middle of wrestling someone. The training camp itself is the only one on the island and so whenever there’s a fight they quickly turn it into a nice stadium and blast some pop/techno…

  • Rashad Evans can seal Title Shot with Victory against Phil Davis at UFC on Fox 2

    Luke Cho Yee
    27 Jan 2012 | 2:12 pm
    Saturday’s main event presents potential title implications in the light heavyweight division as “Suga” Rashad Evans (16-1-1) finds himself in the familiar position of having to solidify his place as the number one contender, this time facing “Mr wonderful” Phil Davis (9-0). The contest had been set to take place on several occasions, but through a succession of injuries to several of the UFC’s light heavyweight elite, it was removed and then rescheduled to finally commence upon the UFC’s second outing to be broadcast on Fox. Evans had endured a difficult 2011, punctuated by…

  • Forget the Trash Talk: Michael Bisping vs. Chael Sonnen offer a Battle of Aggression at UFC on Fox 2

    Scott "Kubryk" Sawitz
    27 Jan 2012 | 11:54 am
    Michael Bisping and Chael Sonnen are two of MMA’s most polarizing figures for the exact same reason: the things they say. And they’re also two of the best middleweight fighters in the world because of what they do in the cage; it makes for a compelling matchup both in words and in fisticuffs. Bisping’s brashness, honesty and British accent make it easy for American MMA fans to dislike him for no real good reason. A winner of the third season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Bisping was a small light heavyweight who managed to hang with the best in the division. With a victory over onetime…

    Without placing blame on any one elbow I think we can agree that Mark Munoz did take a bit of steam out of the UFC of Fox 2 card that will be broadcast live from Chicago this Saturday night. But the entire card, from the Facebook prelims on up, is stacked so harping on his injury hardly seems worth it. Plus we could always just look on the bright side…this new card pretty much guarantees that we’ll get to see Chael Sonnen choke Michael Bisping unconscious plus we get a downright fantastic battle between established middleweight star Demian Maia (15-3) and the new guy on the block…

Of note, White said Chael Sonnen will face Anderson Silva if he’s able to get by Michael Bisping later this week. (I think that’s good, because Silva vs. Bisping is a mauling I just am not interested in seeing anytime soon.) Also, White discusses Diaz vs. Condit for the interim title — and Georges St. Pierre’s growing dislike of Diaz, as the French-Canadian champion continues to recover well from surgery. Similar…

    UFC President Dana White responds to ESPN’s criticism about MMA fighter pay, while MMA fans remain divided about the topic. I don’t think anyone wins when the UFC and ESPN essentially get into a pissing match — Dana White and company need to pay fighters more, and the ESPN needs to mind their own business. However, attacking the No. 1 sports network, regardless of the reason, seems like a foolhardy move by a sports brand looking to go even more mainstream. Similar Posts: None Found
