The sale of the UFC really happened this time.
And it sold for 4 BA-ZILLION dollars
Sounds like Dana Whiteâs cut is north of $300 MILLION dollars
Dana also received a 5 year contract to remain with the UFC
He stands to make roughly 18 MILLION a year
IF what we READ was true
So what now? What is next for the UFC?
And what ABOUT the UFC is worth 4 BA-ZILLION dollars?
We have to think the new owners have big plans and possibly a new vision
The Week of UFC 200 was an amazing week
But⊠the best fights may have taken place a day or 2 before UFC 200
Thursday at UFC Fight night
Eddie Alvarez shocked everyone when he knocked Rafael dos Anjos out in the first round
WINNING the Lightweight Title
A lot of people⊠including Eddie Alvarez⊠thought dos Anjos might be unstoppable
In the CO-Maine Event
Roy Nelson took one of the hardestâŠ
If not THE hardest punchâŠ
In the history of punches from Derrick Lewis
After a dominate first round, Derrick Lewis said âI just canâtâ
And Roy Nelson controlled rounds 2 and 3
WellâŠso we thought buuuutttâŠ
APPARENTLY the judges thought Derrick won 2 of 3 rounds
Giving him the official split decision victory
AND THEN⊠Derrick⊠not feeling so hot about how things went down
Asked for the opportunity to AVENGE his victory
How does that work?  Are we even hyped about a fighter AVENGING a win⊠Hmmm
Joseph Duffy pulled off a first round win over Mitch Clarke with a rear naked choke
Friday we had the UFC 200 Weigh ins and The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale
The Weigh-ins were not that exciting
But to maybe no oneâs surprise
Johnny Hendricks DID NOT make weight!
He was really close no burp could save him!
In missing weight⊠he gave up 20% of his purse
Soooo Friday Night, we had TUF 23 Finale
Arguably the best fight of the week
Joanna Jedrzejczyk defeats Claudia Gadelha by decision
The first 2 rounds Claudia was able to take Joanna down with ease
In round 3, Claudiaâs energy quickly disappeared and like a champion Joanna kicked into another gear
Rounds 4 and 5 was all about Joanna beating up Claudia
Props to Claudia though, because anyone else would have been finished
But Claudia survived all 5 rounds
Your TUF 23 Champions
Andrew Sanchez and Tatiana Suarez
Of the 2, Tatiana looked the most impressive
Doo Ho Choi quickly knocked Thiago Tavares out
Gray Maynard dominated Fernando Bruno
Winning by unanimous decision
Gray looked like the Gray of old
AND Kevin Lee knocked Jake Matthews out in the first round
And Now UFC 200
Leading up to this dang thing there was more drama than a Jerry Springer show during ratings week
Connor out
Jon Jones Out
Brock in
Anderson Silva in on 2 days notice yâall
Amanda Nunes came out aggressive and beat Miesha Tate
Miesha gave up her back
Nunes choked Tate out in the first round
Brock Lesnar coming back after 5 years
Dominated Mark Hunt for 2 rounds
I mean⊠say what you want buuuutttt most believe in ring rust
and Brock D O M I N A T E D the 8th ranked heavyweight in the UFC
DC has taken a lot of slack, mostly from Cowboy Cerrone for taking the safe approach against Anderson Silva
DC won all 3 rounds taking the decision victory
Anderson looked really good all things considered
You know, recent surgery
2 days notice
oh and fighting the best Wrestler in the UFC
AND jumping up in weight
Aldo and Edgar, what is there to say
Some people really liked Aldoâs performance
BuuuuttttâŠ.
this was a slow and boring fight (like the first time⊠ahem)
Aldo is clearly Edgarâs kryptonite and won by unanimous decision
Cain is back yâall!
He looked like the Cain of old and heck even had new tricks!
He added head kicks and then won with a  first round TKO over Travis Browne
Get it!
Julianna Pena pulled out the unanimous decision win over Cat Zingano
Johny Hendricks in recent fashion lost the fight with the scale and then again with his fight in the octagon.
Kelvin Gastelum won via unanimous Decision
TJ Dillashaw won via unanimous decision over Raphael Assuncao
Sage Northcutt somehow escaped a deep arm bar to win by unanimous decision
Joe Lauzon took Diego Sanchez out with a first round TKO.
Someone needs to renegotiate
Former Champion TJ Dillashaw made $50,000
Sage Northcutt made $100,000
Joe Lauzon made $108,000
and in a loss Diego Sanchez made $80,000
I assume TJ has fired his agent, because if he lost he would have only made $25,000
Maybe hire Brocks agent. Â He made a smooth 2.5 million win, lose or draw.

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⊠goâŠ
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 donât 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 weâve yet to talk fight results â 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
Bispingâs 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 SAYINâ
In a very long fight, Dominick Cruz dominated his 5 round decision victory
At One point Cruz hit Faber so hard, Faberâs hair style changed â 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, homieâs OUT
And Henderson walks away with a first round Nasty DIRTY Elbow KO
And her we thought Henderson might announce his retirementâŠ.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 THINGâŠ. 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
Iâm 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 âwhichever comes firstâ)
Lombard has a 180 days with NO EXCEPTIONS
BUT to ponder life and realize heâs 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 didnât make it, heâs 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? Â 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 firstâŠ
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 â ALL OF DAT!
If Dropping Out Of Fights Was a Sport
Josh Koscheck would be the greatest
Josh was supposed to fight Paul âSemtexâ 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 â a very pliable, odorless plastic explosive
Semtex

Karmas a Bitch
A business apparently lacking a moral compass
Seeks out low character athletes
Venator could care less that 1 of their fighters is under contract with another promotion
Venator also ignored the fact that the same fighter was under suspension
If that wasnât enough, Venator aligned themselves with another controversial fighter who leading up to fight night had a number of run ins with the law
Same fighter shows up to weigh-ins 24 pounds overweight
Fighter 1 is Rousimar Palhares, known mostly for holding onto submissions far too long
Fighter 2 is Jason âMayhemâ Miller
So when Palhares kisses the canvas less than 1 minute into his Welterweight title fight with Emil Weber Meek
Karma was paying attention
How ironic that Palhares is now complaining about illegal strikes and the possible long term impact to his wellbeing
No one cares buddy
Jason Miller, far removed from his prime
and far removed from give 2 shits
showed up 24 pounds over weight
To his credit he did not blame deer or kangaroo meet
After being pulled from the title fight, Venator made sure to find a fight for their tarnished goose
In a not so story book finish, Miller lost in the 2nd round to a rear naked choke
Karma 2, Schmucks 0
Bellator 155
Rafael Carvalho won the Middlewight Title match by a split decision
Pat Curran won via Unanimous Decision
Dan Charles and Augusto Sakai fought to a majority draw
Alexis Dufresne won via armbar
At least someone was able to finish their opponent
Whats all the Bizz about?
Michael Bisping still riding high after his win over Anderson Silva
When Chris Wiedman dropped out of the UFC 199 Maine Event against Luke Rockhold
Bisping found himself health at the right time
Luke Rockhold beat Bisbing November 7th 2014 by Guillotine choke
And another setback
BJ Penn thought he would come out of retirement at UFC 199
BJ Penn admitted to using an IV in excess of 50 ML in a six hour period
This method is illegal so says the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency
Penn is looking at a year long suspension
Conor still wants to box
Or wants the millions boxing Mayweather would bring him
Fox is reporting this fight will happen in September
Dana White has stated this fight would never happen
Would Dana White speak out of turn or intentionally lie?  NoooooâŠ
Did you knowâŠ
Jon Jones and Holly Holm made sports illustratedâs top 10 fittest athletes list
Rockhold massive betting favorite against Bisping
WSOF Champion Justin Gaethje calling out now free agent Will Brooks
Undefeated Phil Hawes signs with the WSOF
Holy Holm willing to fight Cyborg at 140 pounds
Joe Rogan says he will leave the UFC if the UFC is sold
Dana White denies the UFC being for saleâŠI call BS buddy
Cyborg Not pleased with the apparent attempt by the UFC to manipulate fans to force Cyborgâs hand into accepting fight
Cyborg adamant her next fight will be a title defense at Invicta
Demetrious Johnson to defend flyweight title against Wilson Reis at UFC 201
UFC 201 is building a nice fight card
Coming up this weekend â UFC Fight Night May 29th
20 and 0 Thomas Almedi vs 8 and 0 Cody Garbrandt
24 and 12 Jeremy Stephens vs  33 and 3 Renan Barao
A Josh Burkman sighting
Bryan âThe First Manâ Caraway and Aljamain Sterling will hash out their verbal back and forth â A loss for Aljamain Sterling, would be his first

We Got Winners...UFC 198 Results
Stripe Miocic 1st round KO
Ronaldo Souza 1st round TKO
Cyborg 1st round TKO
Mauricio Rua Split Decision
Bryan Barberena Unanimous Decision
Damian Maia 3rd round submission
Side note
Matt Brown had to fight off a few fans on the way to the octagon and then his former trainer after the fight
Long day for Mr. Brown
Thiago Santos 1st Round TKO
Francisco Trinaldo Unanimous Decision
Little Nog 1st round TKO
Bellator 154 had 1 notable fight
Phil Davis won via Unanimous Decision
Davis will now face off against Liam McGeary for the Light Heavyweight Title
King Mo on the other hand may need to find less polished opponents
Everyone crying over UFC pay, but the main event payout was $60k to Phill Davis and $30k to King Mo
Not quite UFC Main Event Money
Sorry Lebron
Miocic brings Cleveland a title before King James
To celebrate his title victory he took batting practice with the Cleveland Indians and hit a home run for good measure
If You Don't Know, Now Ya Know
Something hurts and its forcing Chris Weidman out of UFC 199 rematch - bummer
So who's gonna fight Rockhold?
Our thoughts, it could be 1 of 2 fighters
Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza?
Michael Bisbing?
What are your thoughts? Hit us up on Facebook or Twitter!
Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley will headline UFC 201
Mighty Mouse re-ups with the UFC for 8 more fights
Bellator May Have Lost Their Mind
Releasing Champion Will Brooks
While they still push Kimbo Slice as a main attraction
Releasing Will Brooks will make it a lot easier for Benson Henderson to win a Bellator title
If or when Will Brooks jumps to the UFC, I think the UFC wins the Will Brooks for Benson Henderson trade, sorry Benson
Ugh must be said...
After his first round loss, Belfort shared that he came to work, but didn't work.
Is it possible with the strong drug testing, that Belfort is no longer the Belfort of old?
In case you forgot, BJ Penn is back in the UFC
His opponent Dennis Silver hurt something
So Cole Miller will step in as BJ's opponent at UFC 199 on June 4th.
Hey...
When will BJ Penn Fight Ken Shamrock?
Paige VanZant competes for the title.... in Dancing with the Stars
Kimbo Slice reaches a deal with the Texas athletic commission following his failed drug test. Interesting....
Yoel Romera would have been a good match up for Rockhold if it weren't for that failed drug test, suspension, etc...
Bellator signs NCAA All American Heavyweight Wrestler Jarod Trice
I must note that, Trice has never competed in MMA
But that doesn't bother Bellator because they feel they have an undiscovered talented here... hmmmmm keeping an eye out
Brother vs. Brother July 30th at WSOF 32
Many friends refuse to fight, but
Caros Fodor will take on his brother Ben Fodor, A.K.A Phoenix Jones
Lots going on during UFC 200 Weekend in July
UFC Hall of Fame inductions are scheduled for July 10th in Las Vegas
The Class of 2016 will be announced in the coming weeks
Angela Hill feels Invicta values their fighters more than the UFC does
Allstair Overeem blown away by Stipe's KO over weekend but expects to be the first in line to fight to snatch the belt away
Chael Sonnen stepping into the role of promoter for a new grappling series called Submission Underground in conjunction with FloSports.
Bruce Buffer will be announcing and mma fighters and veterans like Ben Henderson, Kenny Florian and Jens Pulver are some of the names mentioned as being set to appear.

April Fools was looking dashing and dapper on the red carpet to wrap up last week.
As my co-writer said, âItâs all quite annoyingâ
AND I couldnât agree more! Â
I think the part that made it even worse was THERE WAS some truthful news being reported that day but the way Events have been shaking down lately you couldât believe a single word until April Fools was off the damn red carpet and the blowing smoke cleared! GAH!
Whatâs my rant about â Cormier out Ovince Saint Preux in!
Dang Daniel I thought we had an agreement â sigh

Easy to look at the UFC and have an opinion about how they pay their fighters
But then

The highest paid fighter made $130,000 and the lowest paid fighter took home $500.
$500 you all
A Carwin Siting
Shane Carwin offered to fight Jon Jones at UFC 197
If Jones was still interested in fighting at heavyweight
It would be interesting as Carwin has the heavy hands, but could he last if the fight went past the first round?
More interesting is that Shane is talking about coming out of retirement
Thanks to Conor McGregor everyone knows the kind of money that is out there
Who wouldnât pay to see Shane Carwin vs Mark Hunt?

Fight ResultsBellator 150
Rebecca Ruth won by unanimous decision over Lena, last name initial O Â
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? Â 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")

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. Â
Even though Luke has a rematch with Chris Weildman at UFC 199
I really hope everyone is preparing and ready to fight.
