This week, though, I have to attend an Engaged Enrichment and Marriage Preparation retreat so it looks like I lucked out. I’m sure I’ll learn things about religion and stuff, but I’m betting there will be some dirty talk, so that’s a plus.Jason MacDonald vs Tom Lawlor The night kicks off inside Fairfax,…

  • The McKenzietine Strikes Again - UFC on FUEL TV Prelim Results

    By Frank Curreri
    15 May 2012 | 12:00 am
    FAIRFAX, VA, May 15 – The Tuesday fight between lightweights Cody McKenzie and Marcus LeVesseur at the Patriot Center lasted three minutes and five seconds. McKenzie maybe won 15 seconds of the action. But it was the 15 seconds that mattered, as The Ultimate Fighter vet survived some heavy leather early before cinching in his signature “McKenzietine” choke that provoked the Levesseur tap out in the first round. Levesseur (21-6) came out winging – but missing – early, yet he started to crack McKenzie from the top position after scoring a takedown. McKenzie (13-2) remained poised,…

    By Frank Curreri
    15 May 2012 | 12:00 am
    FAIRFAX, VA, May 15 – Leading up to their UFC on FUEL TV fight at the Patriot Center, Jeremy Stephens vowed to “break” Donald Cerrone, perceiving that Nate Diaz had done the same last December. But the “old” Cerrone emerged Tuesday night, the one who had annihilated six straight foes before Diaz. And that was bad news for Stephens, who received probably the worst beating of his seven-year career in losing a shutout 30-27 decision in the lightweight scrap. Stephens went the distance, but walked away with a sizable welt under a bloody left eye, and a left leg (his lead leg) that is…

  • Dana White's UFC On Fox Ratings Rant Against Dave Meltzer Was Too Much

    Josh Nason
    16 May 2012 | 1:00 pm
    Promoters will always be promoters. Just look at Don King, a man who keeps smiling, spiking his crazy hair and waving mini-American flags regardless of what he's pushing. No matter what, he always focuses on the positive, regardless of what the naysayers are trying to counter with. And with boxing these days, that can be a lot. UFC president Dana White is a different breed of promoter. He isn't afraid to taunt or fire back at anyone on any subject, something that endeared himself to many as the UFC rose through the sports muck to prominence over the past seven years. Sometimes he has been…

Here are some of Meltzer's main points: He called UFC on Fox 3, "a genuine XFL caliber ratings disaster" "Males 18-34 declined from a 3.2 to a 1.6. These are not the kind of numbers that can keep you in prime time." "The show did 34% below what COPS was doing this season in the time slot."

Prior to that loss, Cerrone had notched four straight octagon victories. So, what’s next for Cowboy?

    Nick Diaz may be no stranger to controversial situations but this Saturday’s no show at the World Jiu-Jitsu Expo may have been one of his more talked about incidents of late. Cesar Gracie understands the troubled Stocktonian’s approach more than most so, in a statement to Graciefighter, he fully explained the circumstances behind Diaz’s decision to [...]

  • Manny Pacquiao lashes out at President Obama for stance on gay marriage

    Eric LeRoux
    16 May 2012 | 12:30 pm
    Rarely do politics find a home on these pages but in the case of world-famous boxer Manny Pacquiao an exception has to be made. Not only is Pacquiao a member of Congress in his native Philippines, but he’s also addressed a number of matters in American politics over the year and even helped campaign for a Democratic Senator a few years back. This time around Pacquiao has taken aim at United States President Barack Obama in light of the nation’s chief executive coming out to support gay marriage. “God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so…

  • Chan Sung Jung earns Submission of the Night for stoppage of Dustin Poirier

    UFC featherweight Chan Sung Jung impressed all in attendance last night at UFC on Fuel 3, as well as those watching at home, with his relatively one-sided showing against Dustin Poirier. Apparently his effort also caught the attention of a few UFC executives as well. Jung’s D’Arce Choke finish of Poirier was named the show’s Submission of the Night and netted “The Korean Zombie” an extra $40,000 on top of his regular salary. Were that not enough, the headlining clash was awarded Fight of the Night honors as well, giving Poirier an additional $40k and driving Jung’s total take-home…

    The UFC decided to give fans a mid-week treat to tantalize their MMA-oriented tastebuds before this weekend’s Strikeforce event in the form of UFC on Fuel 3, a show headlined by a clash between featherweight contenders Dustin Poirier and Chan Sung Jung, and delivered a delicious event in the process. “The Korean Zombie” came away with what would many consider an upset win, finishing Poirier in the fourth round to snap a five-fight winning streak. The stoppage was the latest from Jung who racked up bonus-winning finishes in his last two outings. Other notable match-ups scheduled…

  • Cesar Gracie gives Nick Diaz’s side of the story after last weekend’s BJJ debacle

    Tony Clifton
    15 May 2012 | 3:00 pm
    UFC welterweight Nick Diaz is not necessarily the most eloquent individual, often cracking under the pressure of media attention similarly to the way he breaks opponents inside the Octagon. However, coach/mentor Cesar Gracie has no such problem penning a thoughtful statement laced with objectivity, not profanity. Gracie did just that last night regarding Diaz’s decision to no-show a scheduled BJJ superfight with Braulio Estima. And, while the renowned instructor certainly defended Diaz in the public plea, he also made it clear he wasn’t happy with how the 28-year old handled himself…

    There’s something special about Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal winding up as potentially a champion in both professional wrestling and mixed martial arts at the same time. Being on top of two different avenues is remarkably tough; combining MMA with one that shares historical roots with MMA but lacks the sporting aspect to it will actually be harder than if he were to try another combat sport. Putting on a pro wrestling match is a difficult feat in and of itself; it’s why being successful at both at the same time might be too much for him. Alistair Overeem was the reigning K-1 World Grand…

    Dan Henderson, the next in line to fight light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, believes he holds the key to success against dominant Jones. Jones most recently fought former champion Rashad Evans and picked up a decision victory, but has smashed his way through the LHW division’s elite. Meanwhile, since losing to Jake Shields in 2010, Hendo has beaten Renato Sobral, Rafael Cavalcante, Fedor Emelianenko, and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua to earn the right to fight Jones. Speaking about the recent title fight, Hendo said Evans didn’t fight to his game plan — and Jones was…

Sapp is on a five-fight losing streak, suffering two submission (via strike) losses, two TKOs, and a leglock submission loss. It’s not a surprise — but is still a shame — that Sapp has turned his MMA career into a sideshow, only hoping to pick up a quick paycheck.Similar Posts: None Found

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…

Both losses came by rear-naked choke, and both happened in under three minutes.You'd think that would cause Guillard to sit back and eat a slice of humble pie, but you'd be wrong.

He’s gone 3-for-3 in his UFC career and has notched up two Submissions of the Night, one Submission of the Year, one Knockout of the Night and a Fight of the Night along the way.

  • UFC on Fuel 3 Results: 5 Fights for Donald Cerrone to Take Next

    16 May 2012 | 9:30 am
    It’s important that we find an opponent for Donald Cerrone quickly. In all honesty, when you consider the fact that Cerrone has fought six times for the UFC in the last 15 months, there is a decent chance that Cowboy has already signed a contract for his next fight. All jokes aside, Cerrone is a workhorse who is coming off a one-sided beatdown of slugger Jeremy Stephens. Last night was the 14th UFC fight for Stephens, and while he has seen his fair share of defeats, no one has ever manhandled him in the manner that we just witnessed. Cerrone is back on track to make a break for the top.
