TUF 11 Episode 4: Smashed Up

April 22nd, 2010

This episode began with a lot of Yager haters. Kyacey Uscola accused him of stealing clothes, which it looks like he didn’t really do. Still, Yager’s personality seems to grind the nerves of the other fighters in the house. A lot of tension is because Yager doesn’t cheer on members of his team but roots [...]

Joe Rogan 4 20 Live Podcast

April 20th, 2010

Rogan posted this on his twitter late last week and I have to say it caught my attention.  I know that not everyone will be interested in this, but I figured I’d post it up for you guys.  Live Podcast starts at 6pm est. Next Tuesday, 4-20 we’re doing a special ALL WEED podcast from [...]

Ben Askren; Funky Style

April 20th, 2010

One of the highlights of last night’s Bellator tournament was watching unconventional wrestler Ben Askren work his game. Askren faced Illinois wrestler Ryan Thomas in an exciting fight in which he scored several takedowns, defended a couple of triangle choke attempts and scored a tight guillotine-turned-D’arce choke of his own. Although Thomas didn’t tap, the ref called the fight when he did [...]

Strikeforce Recap

April 19th, 2010

I was 0-3 in my fight predictions. This did a number on my ego, but I thought it’d be interesting to break down the fights and what went right and wrong. First up was King Mo (Muhammed Lawal) vs. Mousasi. I really thought Mousasi was going to get this one because of his awesome kickboxing and [...]

Strikeforce Brawl (Video)

April 17th, 2010

Ok, I think this is what happened, Mayhem approaches Shields and says “Where’s my rematch buddy?”. He is pushed by Melendez and he pushes Melendez back, only to be shoved by Shields and then punched by Diaz. Then half of Shields team tackles mayhem and holds him down while Diaz proceeds to punch him in [...]

MMA Live 4-15-10

April 16th, 2010

Shine Fights 3 is a decent fight card, if not quite amazing but I’m pumped about one fight in particular after watching this video.  Professional boxer Ricardo Mayorga will be making his MMA debut against UFC veteran Din Thomas and the card also includes, Murillo Rua, Nick Thompson, Falaniko Vitale and others. This is not [...]

Strikeforce heads to Nashville for the first time this Saturday, April 17, 2010 with the main card starting at 9pm est available for free and live on CBS.  The entire main card is stacked with 3 title fights which all have the potential to be great fights.  Strikeforce has been doing better than ever since [...]

Episode 3 started with a foreboding meeting with Dana White. Sadly, Chris Camozzi was sent home with a fractured jaw. (So much for training through injuries.) Seth Bacynzki was brought back as a replacement because he showed so much heart in his decision loss that previously eliminated him from the house. It’s always so crazy [...]

A Tale of Two Fights

April 15th, 2010

Saturday night at UFC 112, one of the most controversial cards in the organization’s history took place. On top of Anderson Silva’s apparent mental breakdown during his main event bout with Damian Maia, there was another championship bout on the card. Frankie Edgar and B.J Penn battled for the lightweight championship in a close and [...]

So in the first two parts of this series,  I’ve written about judging and reffing, or rather the training to be a judge or ref that took place in Maple Grove. And I’ve shared all of the positive aspects of this training: consistency among would-be officials, an emphasis on knowledge that is often lacking and [...]

Two Underdogs, Two Victories

April 12th, 2010

Yes, I saw the event and yes I know that only one of the underdogs was actually successful in capturing the title they so desired. Amidst mass amounts of controversy, Frankie Edgar successfully defeated B.J Penn for the UFC Lightweight Championship by unanimous decision. Damian Maia, like Edgar, walked into his title fight a heavy [...]

MMAHQ Fight Camp Update

April 12th, 2010

Our camp had a tough event on the playground (along with everyone else on the site) but our scores were still tightly packed at the top half of the standings.  Our overall leader robnashville dropped his lead down to about 80 but is still pretty much in the clear with only 2 events remaining in [...]
