Get in My Belly!
“I put myself ahead of Arlovski for the pure fact that I bring a more complete package. He’s great at what he does. He’s a phenomenal striker, but lax at grappling…. My physique works for me. I consider myself like 75 percent of the Americans out there. I give 100 percent. And I like food…. I’m looking for that big endorsement, like Taco Bell, Pizza Hut or McDonald’s. Maybe after this fight, I’ll do a cookbook.”

Elite XC HEAT Preview
Main Card
-Luke: The is no doubt in my mind that Shamrock is going to get smashed into submission by Kimbo. Shamrock is over the hill and has been for years. His last fight was an absolute joke and I see this one being more laughable than that one. Kimbo Takes It.
-Butch: Shamrock's only chance in this fight will be to take Kimbo down before he can throw a punch and get a leg lock. However, I know Bas has been training Kimbo on his sprawl and leg lock defense. I suspect Shamrock will take two punches, go down, and the fight will be called when Kimbo pounces. Shamrock will cry early stoppage, but we all know he is done.
-Luke: This has fight of the night written all over it. Shields has been rolling through everybody the last two years and Paul Daley is the Cage Rage Welterweight champ, so expect some fireworks. I am going with Shields here because he has just owned this division for two years and could probably would be seeing a shot at GSP if he was in the UFC right now.
-Butch: Daley is a hot headed trash talker from Britain that is out to prove he belongs. Shields will look to take this fight to the ground where Daley struggles. Daley has much better striking and will look to block take downs and go for a highlight reel knockout. I think Shields will get Daley down and sink in the rear naked choke to end this fight in round 2.
-Luke: Arlovski in a one sided TKO here. Nelson is just too fat and out of shape to hand with legit heavyweights. It is one thing to dominate the IFL, but you fight the big boys you can't be a lard ass.
-Butch:As much as people want to say Nelson is a bar room brawler and too fat a la "Tank", I think people will be surprised by his cardio and ground game. Arlovski looked impressive in his win over Rothwell, but Nelson isn't a one trick pony. Nelson will look to take the pitbull down, use his weight advantage, and go for a submission. The plan sounds great, but things will changes once Arlovski punches Nelson. Look for a knockout in round 3.
-Luke: Carano is the favorite no doubt and I'll stick with her in this match up. Definitely looking forward to seeing her fight Cyborg in the future.
-Butch: Carano barely made weight and might be drained. However, I expect her to handle Kobald. Probably in a unanimous decision.
-Luke: Even the Rua is suffering from injury issues over the last 12 months I like him better than Radach, who hasn't beaten a top notch guy in the past two years. I think Rua takes it and begins his road back to a title shot.
-Butch: Rua will continue his winning ways with a submission.

Gina Carano LA Times Interview
"I only train with guys. I actually wish that wasn't always the case. Sometimes, I think, 'Gosh, if I can take that punch, I've got a good chin, I can take any punch.' I'm not one for guys fighting girls, but if a girl can train with guys and keep up with them without pulling them down... I'm a hard worker, I've got the technique and I have the drive for it."

Don Frye IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
According to Frye, he is sober and ready to fight anyone, just not in the UFC
Affliction Clowns
“I was disappointed, yes,” he told MMAWeekly.com. “That was supposed to be my fight. We talked about it at some point prior to going to Japan, and I found out that I didn’t get the fight while in Japan. I continued to work on some business there, especially after I found out I wasn’t getting the fight.”
- Josh Barnett on losing the Arlovski fight to a fat guy, article here
It is good for Affliction that they partnered with Golden Boy/Trump from a financial perspective, but as far as the ultimate product for fans, I am not convinced it will be the best outcome. Basically the t-shirt salesman used the excuse of Barnett being out of the country to explain his absence from the show this Saturday. Truth of the matter is communication around the world is seamless at this point, in fact, I Blackberry message with people in other countries on a daily basis so to say they couldn't get in touch is ludicrous. Secondly, I agree with Barnett not taking the Fedor fight in January, because you need a set fight camp and training regime for that fight. Everything for Affliction is so last minute and unorganized right now that you can't just say "Be ready to fight in January.......maybe" to a fighter of Barnett's caliber. So it will probably be Arlovski/Fedor in January, which is not a bad match up, but it is far from the fight the masses are demanding. Remember how well Fedor did against Tim Sylvia, another fighter dropped by the UFC.

Shogun vs. Coleman Set for UFC 93
The first match(above) at PRIDE 31 ended with Shogun popping his elbow and a nice brawl in the ring afterwards.........
Hmmmmm Yeaaaaaah
"I never thought of myself as a Top 10 guy in any weight class -- ever," Trigg said. "But I think I match up very well against Anderson Silva. I think my style, my technique, matches up against Anderson Silva better than, say, Dan Henderson or Travis Lutter. "

Unless you are a top collegiate wrestler which the UFC loves than you get a good shot at making cash right away....retarded
