ya RJ im with Yves too, i think the determining factor will be the standup. Should be interesting to see if Yves can work his Thai game around KJs boxing, im thinking he needs to work the clinch. Theres a good chance he will get rocked a few times and elect to take it to the ground.

I dunno whats gonna happen, but it should be entertaining hehe.

and happy fathers day to all you Dads out there in internet land!!! my family completely spoiled me this year i was very surprised, along with the awesome homemade cards and pictures that i get every year they also got me a bunch of other stuff like a Warriorwear shirt, Tapout shirt, Tapout hat, UFC hat, Sinister shirt (you think my kids know i love MMA lol), a wireless network adaptor, and a new DVD recorder. this was like Christmas for me lol it feels real good to know that all the love you give to your kids doesnt go unnoticed and they are willing to try and make you just as happy as you try to make them. so again happy Daddy day to all and you should all go and hug your Dad and tell him how much he means to you!

3 MMA events this weekend guys, not the most interesting fightcards, but there are definately some interesting fights.

ADRENALINE: this card lost Monson in the main event because of his hand injury, but they brought in Clay Guidas brother Jason Guida to fight mike russow. Im not too interested in this event..

ELITEXC: Ill be watching this one for sure, again not a stellar lineup of fights, but there are a couple worth checking out. Most notable fight is Yves Edwards vs KJ Noons, im pretty excited to see how this fight plays out. Noons ofcourse recently beat up Nick Diaz earning him alot of respect in the fight game, hes looking real hungry too. Yves has had an up and down career lately, though he attributes his sub par performances to his lack of a good team and sparring partners. Now Yves is with American Top Team and he feels good about his training and hes looking to get himself back in the spotlight. This should be a great fight!

this card also features Nick Diaz, Ninja and Ron Waterman.

DREAM 4: The matchups arent amazing, but there are alot of good fighters in this card. We got Aoki, Saku, Mayhem miller, Dong Sik Yoon, Mousasi and Overeem. The grappling match between Crocop and Ralek Gracie has been called off because Mirkos injuries have been flaring up and hes fighting LeBanner at Dream 5 (that should be a great fight).

so dont complain guys, there might not be a UFC event, but theres plenty of fights to get your MMA fix for the week hehe.

Simms and Coleman are a pair of characters. A few years back a b level show came here with the main event that was supposed to be Wes Simms vs Mark Kerr. It was going to be Kerr’s first fight back in the states after his steroid problems. I was always a Kerr fan so me and a few of my friends went to the show. Kerr broke his hand in training and could not compete. He was sitting just a few rows from us and had screws and pins sticking out of his hand. The promoters didn’t announce that he was unable to fight untill about half way through the show. Obviously the crowd was not pleased so they had Kerr and Simms go into the cage and explain the situation. Kerr showed his hand and said he was sorry for not being able to compete. Then they let Simms talk and he was totally disrespectfull to not only Kerr but also the crowd. He was taunting Kerr saying he would fight with his hands tied, claimed he was faking to dodge him and things like that. Kerr kept his cool the entire time. After he left the ring Coleman and Simms went on a little rant. A couple of guys by the cage yelled something at Coleman and then they started trying to fight people in the audience. They had to be restrained by security it was kinda funny. Anyway I thought it was funny as it seems like this was not an isolated event for them. Really not surprising to me anyway.

I think it’s ridiculous but not surprising from Sims. For Sims to kick the ref and complain with Mark Coleman doesn’t surprise me at all. Ever since he snapped and tried to kill Frank Mir by stomping on his face, Sims has been a loose canon (I’m sure he was before as well, but he just wasn’t on my radar).
