Two Inspirational Lives Lost Muhammad Ali

A Quote Machine

A Leader Of People

A Man Committed To His Beliefs

When He Could No Longer Speak, His Voice Echoed The Loudest

A Resume That Was For The People, For His Family and For His Faith

You will be remembered

Kimbo Slice

Revolutionized How To Become Famous

In sports there is no one else like Kimbo Slice

Kimbo was a man of action and fought his way to a better life

Please find time to Google Kimbo Slice

Kevin was a kind, caring and loving man.

The stories out there from peers and friends are worth the read

No easy way to transition, but here… we… go…

UFC 199 Had It All

We learned that Diaz . McGregor 2 will take place at UFC 202

Or so they say

Brock Lesnar will co-headline UFC 200 taking on Mark Hunt

Before Conor was setting Pay Per View records, Brock was the biggest ticket in town

Dana White knows how to grab our attention

Who would have thought that the next WWE fighter to fight in the UFC would have been someone not named CM Punk

We also learned that you don’t want to make the UFC angry

Maybe no one puts baby in a corner

But the UFC will boot your ass

Ariel Helwani and his team was not only kicked out of UFC 199, but originally was handed a life time ban by the UFC

The UFC allegedly told him to go over to Bellator

2 days later and a very sad/hurt Ariel shared his side of the story and the next day the UFC pulled back the ban.

We did learn that most of those reporting on the UFC are also on the UFC payroll

Just ask Karen Bryant

All this and we’ve yet to talk fight results – Dang

So here we go

The Maine Event Witnessed a man float like a butterfly and sting like a Bisping

Michael Bisping KNOCKS OUT the overly cocky… premadonna Luke Rockhold

I was shocked AS was Vegas

Bisping’s win made him the owner of the 3rd biggest upset victory in UFC history

Holms 1st and Dillashaw 2nd

If you saw Rockholds in ring post fight interview, this loss could not have happened to a more deserving Jack Wagon … JUST SAYIN’

In a very long fight, Dominick Cruz dominated his 5 round decision victory

At One point Cruz hit Faber so hard, Faber’s hair style changed – HA!

Max Holloway, knowing he was ahead on the score cards, in the final seconds asked Lamas if he wanted to go toe to toe to end the fight and so they did

And Holloway… walked off with a decision victory

Dan Henderson… SORT OF lands a kick to the head of Hector Lombard

In the process, Hector leans down just enough

And Henderson connects with a vicious elbow to the head!

He then followed up with few more hard to watch elbows on the ground

Herb says no need to get to crazy with it, homie’s OUT

And Henderson walks away with a first round Nasty DIRTY Elbow KO

And her we thought Henderson might announce his retirement….but should he?

MMA Stalker says YES, this win would be a nice segway into the UFC Hall of Fame one day

Oh AND ONE MORE THING…. Dan walk away with an $800,000 pay day!

Dustin Poirier went with the first round KO

AND Awww Man, Clay Guida lost to Brian Ortega by 3rd round TKO

And Cole Miller felt Alex Caceres channel his inner Bruce Leroy and some Last Dragon Shit for realz!

Your What Hurts?

Rockhold out for 45 days to address his feelings

Side note with Rockhold

He stated he was going to prove to us all that he is the best of all time

I’m not sure how getting smoked in the first round will help with that

Maybe he meant the best fighter to never successfully defend his title

Go lay down!

Lamas on a 60 day leave or once his left tibial is cleared

(Does that work the same was the “whichever comes first”)

Lombard has a 180 days with NO EXCEPTIONS

BUT to ponder life and realize he’s not in Gotham

Normally fighters can reduce their medical suspension with a note from their physician clearing them

HOWEVER, the Athletic Commission is taking this, Hectors 2nd beating in recent fights, VERY SERIOUS

And I kind of agree… it was a nasty out OUT cold

Like my twitter feed was blowing up with comments like… he didn’t make it, he’s in a comma!

We were happy to see him moving but for a moment that was scary!!!

Dan Henderson has 45 days to ponder retirement and negotiate his future with Dana White

Anyone who lost by TKO or KO has a minimum of 45 days to get their faculties together

Sean Strickland might have fractured both of his hands. BOTH?  180 days for you my friend.

High five… Too soon?

Kevin Casey 180 days for low blood sugar. OR until he eats a Snickers

Whichever comes first…

Polo Reyes, HE TOO gets 180 days due to a possible fracture in both hands and his right elbow

You might want to ice that – ALL OF DAT!

If Dropping Out Of Fights Was a Sport

Josh Koscheck would be the greatest

Josh was supposed to fight Paul “Semtex” Daley at 158

158 was already a rescheduled might from earlier this year

If you are Paul Daley, do you even care any more about revenging the lose to Josh?

Word of the Semtex – a very pliable, odorless plastic explosive

Semtex

Fight ResultsBellator 150

Rebecca Ruth won by unanimous decision over Lena, last name initial O  

Just gonna spare everyone this time (Ovchynnikova)

Chuka Willis wins by unanimous decision over Gaston Reyno

Kendall Grove showed up defeating Francisco France by KO in the 2nd Round

Dave Rickels TKO'd his way to a victory in Round One over Bobby Cooper

And in the main event...

Cheick Kongo wins his bout by split decision

UFC Fight Night 84

And you get a decision and YOU get a decision.. and YES YOU get a decision

Is pretty much how the night went too

To recap would be less than exciting, so I'll break only the MAIN CARD down like this....

Gegard Mousasi, Tom Breese, and Brad Picket

All won by version of a decision

And... as for Silva vs Bisping...

We'll get to more about that in a bit

Get This

Fighter about to get interviewed

Fighters public relations team tell reporters they can NOT ask the "said" fighter about fighting

Ummmmm, can I ask her about her teeth situation then?

Sooooo

The media apparently CAN ONLY ask Ronda Rousey about, the weather, her day and maybe the Oscars, assuming it is not a movie that includes fighting

Depression is a serious thing...

But how is her PR team helping her by keeping her IN the lime light

Our thoughts...

Back away, stay off the TV, and don't schedule media days

I mean seriously....

You can't agree to do an interview and then ask the questions too

You get what you give

Chael Sonnen dominated Anderson Silva for 4 plus rounds until being caught in choke

Chris Weidman beat Silva TWICE

To beat Diaz, Silva popped boner pills

And Now

UFC Fight Night 84

Silva vs Bisbing

First 2 rounds Silva does nothing, while Bisbing pushes forward

Round 3, Silva is winning and then Bisbing gets distracted by a lost mouth piece

Takes a flying knee to the face with seconds to go

AND instead of finishing his opponent

Silva runs to celebrate, hops up on the cage even,

BUT HOLD UP, the fight is still going and was never stopped

Simply the round ended

The bell chiming just as Silva served up the knee and Bisping dropped

Whew....

Round 4

Bisbing pushes with the urgency of someone who was almost knocked out

And Silva took another nap

Round 5

Silva showed up and shows that when he wants he can dictate the fight

HOWEVER to little to late

All 3 judges, scored the fight, 3 rounds to 2 for Bisbing

Since his 1st loss in THREE losses in 4 fights...

Silva has made accusations of corruption

He even shared he was worried that he may have "re-injured" his surgically repaired leg in the first round and that it slowed him down as a result

Well...

What he didn't do is look at all the missed opportunities..

He has one win, just ONE win, in his last 4 fights

And that's provided we look past the no contest ruling that resulted in a year long suspension..

At the end of the day we wonder if Silva cares about doing his best anymore

The show is there but it looking like a flop

The C is For Conor

Nate Diaz is trying to keep up with the trash talking

but that was short lived and now Diaz and his camp are accusing Conor using steroids

He's also admitted that he might get merked or is it murked with a "U"

Either way...

I DON'T TO HEAR THIS DIAZ!!

I need you to bring it - trash talk and all

Is it just me or has the trash talk between the two only been one sided... ??

Diaz, YES, you may be getting "merked" with an "e" verbally

BUT PLEEEZE don't leave in the hands of "murked" with an "u"

Sigh

Does Diaz have a chance?  I don't know...

Maybe

But he best be on his "A" game that's all I'm sayin' (with an apostrophe at the end and no "g")

Spend Your Money On UFC 196

Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz at 170

The only time a non-title fight makes you forget about a title fight... is when the non-title fight includes the mind games, and constant self promotion by Conor McGregor

Who else is on this card...

Well let's not forget the Women's Bantamweight Title Belt gets is first defense from a new title holder

Holly Holm vs Miesha Tate

Tom Lawlor vs Corey Anderson looks to be interesting

And I'm secretly having mixed feelings about the prelim fight between Diego Sanchez and Jim Miller

I'm a Diego fan but I missed the fighter from back in the day I must say

His record has been sporadic

But we will still be checking out his fight in the early prelims on Fight Pass

Bellator 151

Let's see if Bellator can recover...

Coming up this Friday March 4th in Thackerville, Oklahoma

Bantamweights Darrion Caldwell and Joe Warren will be meeting in the main event

Darrion is coming off 8 straight wins against some no joke competitors like Shawn Bunch and Rafael Silva

But Joe is no joke either, he has four losses but also has 14 wins

This should be interesting...

Also I must add, former NCAA Wrestling Champion Bubba Jenkins, 10-2

From Arizona State University, where I'm from

Will ALSO be fighting on the card Friday Night against Goiti Yamauchi

Who happens to have an impressive record as well at 19 wins 2 losses

Looking past your next fight might cost you

As Jon Jones goes back and forth with DC leading up to their rematch at UFC 197

Jones shared he has nothing to prove with his rematch against DC

The rematch Jones is looking forward to is with Alexander Gustafsson

Who fights Glover Teixeira June 20th at Fight Night

Lets hope Jon Jones can stay out of trouble long enough to fight DC, before scheduling his next rematch.

Oh and Jones, Luke Rockhold is calling you out.  

Even though Luke has a rematch with Chris Weildman at UFC 199

I really hope everyone is preparing and ready to fight.

Upcoming Events

March 4th Bellator 151 Warren vs Caldwell

March 5th UFC 196 McGregor vs Diaz

Invicta FC 16 on March 11th

On March 12 WSOF 29 Justin Gaethje and Brian Foster will be fighting in the main event for the Lightweight Title

March 19th UFC Fight Night Mark Hunt vs Frank Mir

We have another World Series of Fighting #30 Branch vs Starks on April 2nd

UFC is back with another Fight Night on April 10th Junior Dos Santos vs Ben Rothwell

And that is all folks...
