It is Official Fedor vs. Arlovksi


Looks like Jan. 24 2009 date at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. I would personally rather see Fedor fight Barnett, but I think Arlovski has improved greatly since he left the UFC and working with Freddie Roach will certainly help to contain Fedor's wild striking. More details here

Houston Alexander Update

After blowing it in Omaha last month everyone and their mother thought Houston would be dropped from the UFC......well apparently that has not happened. Not sure how he hasn't been dropped because once the guy gets on his back he has about as much a chance to regain a dominant position as a girl on prom night. Houston explains his current status here

The Synergy never seems to work, surprise Golden Boy and Affliction can't make up their minds

Brian Stann not fighting at UFN 16

If you are looking for TUF updates, I am not supplying links anymore because the show officially jumped the shark last night. Not only are the ratings down, but the content of the show is just horrible at this point. After the umpteenth drunken meltdown Dana proceeded to let two guys off the hook and made Shane Nelson fight to prove he was tough. Shocking the guy was awful in the cage and the only thing worse than his performance was that the dude who beat him was only slightly less terrible. If they want to make it successful again, have a house for each team and make it a true tournament with matches picked by Joe Silva just like what they have to get on the show. No one cares about the drunken BS, we want to see fights and we want to see good ones, that is it.

“Joe Rogan is a bad motherfucker and I’m not just saying that. He’s one of my best students. He is a brown belt and he is just a nightmare in the gym … He hits harder than anybody I’ve ever held mitts for. If he wanted to do MMA, Joe Rogan could go straight to 170 and fuck up a lot of dudes. He can for sure.”

More Rumors that Elite XC paid Shamrock extra to stand with Kimbo

Rumble Johnson vs. Kevin Burns rematch at the TUF 8 Final....hopefully justice will be served

This guy thinks Kimbo losing is bad for MMA? Personally, if I was NBC sports I would just fire him right now, but then again I guess some people care about other people. Kimbo, the backyard brawling street fighter represented every single negative stereotype about the sport of MMA and he was only bringing the the sport down. His marketability was somewhat good, but he was mostly just a cartoonish character who lacked any substance and he took press away from the people who worked so hard to get the sport where it is today. The bottom line is Kimbo appealed to the same mouth breathing freaks who enjoy dog fights or witnessing the occasional back alley dust up after the bar closes. These aren't the people that can be sold to advertisers, which will drive the sport to bigger and better things so good riddens.
