It seems as though I have been entrenched with social networking these days with my last couple posts.  So I figured why stop now?  I will move from Twitter to Facebook this time. I try to friend and be a fan with as many fighters as I can.  It's interesting to me to see what the guys do, especially leading up to a fight.  There are some fighters who seem like they are always going out or p... more.

First there were rumors of a Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin fight.   Then Dana White came out and said the fight was really Rich Franklin vs. Randy Couture (story here). Today Tito Ortiz posted on his Twitter account that he is in the hospital. Sorry flu. This sucks!! 31 minutes ago This is the worst ful I have every had. More IV's please. 39 minutes ago This shouldn't stop the fight vs... more.

Every MMA news and blog website it buzzing today because of a rumored bow out by Tito Ortiz who was supposed to face Chuck Liddell after the taping of The Ultimate Fighter. From FightersOnlyMagazine: Chuck Liddell will be fighting Rich Franklin in his next bout and not rival TUF 11 coach Tito Ortiz, Fighters Only has heard from a reliable source. The switch was initially reported to us just un... more.

Check out Georges St. Pierre's new Under Armour commercial, "Protect This House." Ladies settle down, he's not naked like Chuck Liddell's Reebok commercial. It really shows how main stream MMA is becoming though. Rampage Jackson was in Nike's commercial earlier in the month, of course Chuck and his viral marketing Reebok piece and now Under Armour. The big dog sport apparel companies have fina... more.

It has to be real hard to stay quite when someone says they want to kill you. It has to be that much harder when you are a natural trash talker and physical beast like Brock Lesnar. Who knows who exactly said it but Fighters Only Magazine broke the story that Brock Lesnar's camp fired back to Frank Mir on their YouTube channel posting: “Frank Mir wants murder? The beast is now even angrier t... more.

At first I didn't believe it.  Would Frank Mir, who is a trash talker but very smart person, really be dumb enough to say he wished Brock Lesnar would die because Mir broke his neck in the Octagon?  Sure enough he did.  In a radio interview on WXDX Mir said: "A lot of individuals are so worried about being politically correct.  I'd rather go ahead and say what's on my mind than to sit there a... more.

Cain Velasquez proved Saturday night at UFC 110 he is in the upper echelon of the heavyweight division by technically knocking out Antonio Nogueria. He's a force to be reckoned with by most heavyweights but can he really compete with Brock Lesnar at the top? After the fight Velasquez touched on a fight vs Lesnar. “For me, I have to fight a smart fight and get with my coaches and figure out a... more.

Georges St. Pierre talks about moving to 185. He seems fairly uninterested as he has a lot of friends at 185. I love GSP but this is business, not personal. Champions want to beat everyone so it's weird to me he would not want to go where he would be challenged, even if it's by people he likes. He says he has a lot of challenges at 170 but I have yet to see a serious one. GSP talks about ... more.

Interview with "The Natural" Randy Couture. Couture says he wants to figure out the Machida puzzle and he will be watching closely when Shogun and Machida fight again.  He also says he would like to be acting but his acting paychecks can't touch his fighting one's now that he has his new contract in place.  Couture also touches on the Coleman fight and says that wrestlers present the harde... more.

They say hind sight is 20/20 but this happened quickly since the split.  Dan Henderson and the UFC split ways in December.  Two months later they both need each other back. The news has already been released:  Demian Maia will replace Vitor Belfort to fight Anderson Silva at UFC 112.  Dana couldn't disappoint his new Abu Dhabi partner so he had to put in someone to replace Vitor, even some... more.
