A Look at the Workouts of Jon “Bones” Jones
Any regular reader of MMA Fix knows that Jon “Bones” Jones continues to steadily rise up our ‘Now That’s What’s Up’ index, after all, this is a guy that has tossed studs like Matt Hamill and Stephan Bonnar through the air like beach balls (not to mention flooring the latter with a spinning elbow). That’s some [...]
Brandon Vera Predicting Stoppage in Bout With Jon Jones
We’re extremely excited about the upcoming March 21st tilt between Brandon “The Truth” Vera and Jon “Bones” Jones; not only is it a good match-up and on cable TV through Versus (meaning more dough for beer), Jones is so effing exciting to watch, even his hands getting taped is highlight reel material (that takes moves [...]
Brandon Vera Not Interested in Fighting Chuck Liddell
Ok fine. If you’ve been following MMA Fix throughout this week, yes, we’ve been gravitating towards fighter quotes that are less than complimentary towards their fellow Octagon competitors. Whatever, we’re cynical pricks; aren’t we all? Be honest…
The latest comment to catch our eye comes from Brandon “The Truth” Vera, who due to his nick name, [...]
Brandon Vera: “I Thought I Won”
Last night’s main event bout between Randy Couture and Brandon Vera may not have been the most exciting bout ever, but due to the fact it included one of the more intriguing figures in all of professional sports, namely the 46 year-old “Natural,” you better have been heavily sedated if you weren’t pumped up at [...]
Brandon Vera Jumped at Chance to Fight Randy Couture
After disposing of his first 4 UFC opponents in short order, (one of which was Frank Mir- you may recall the bloody beat down) the fanfare surrounding Brandon Vera was on it’s way to GSP levels. But, after dropping 3 of his next 4 bouts the chit-chat surrounding “The Truth” quickly went from ‘that guy’s [...]
Randy Couture Talks Future, Upcoming Bout with Brandon Vera
After competing just once in 2008, it’s pretty damn sweet that Randy “The Natural” Couture is fighting for the second time in less than 3 months on November 14th, when the legend takes on Brandon Vera at UFC 105 in Manchester, England. What’s even better is that for us fans in North America, we’ll get to [...]
It’s Official: Couture vs. Vera at UFC 105
Yesterday we said that the internet’s latest ‘it’ rumor, that Randy Couture would fight Brandon Vera at the upcoming November 14th UFC 105, sounded pretty damn plausible. (Like when your buddy tells you he only watches the weigh-ins when Gina Carano’s fighting- that’s extremely plausible) Well today, the promotion has confirmed that indeed Couture will [...]
Vera Still Planning on Returning to Heavyweight
Despite the back-to-back losses Brandon Vera incurred against Tim Sylvia and Fabricio Werdum that ushered in his latest stint as a 205lb. fighter, (although the loss to Werdum was viewed by many as a quick stoppage… you probably don’t remember the fight with Sylvia. Many people fell asleep half way through) the talented fighter recently stated in [...]
MMA Link Dump Time
Still can’t believe that Seth Petruzelli KO’d Kimbo in 14 seconds. How does Kimbo Slice let a dude with pink hair knock him out (more on this in the last link)? Here is your daily fix:
Iceman is packing it in until the spring. [Fightline]
Rampage picks the UK over Big Bear for training. [MMABAY]
Despite the Kimbo [...]
UFC 89 Betting Lines: A Look Ahead
How Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben is the featured fight on ANY UFC card is beyond us, but maybe the Brits are easier to please than we thought. That’s the only possible explanation for Russell Brand.
The two fights with lines so far for UFC 89 are the middleweight bout between the aforementioned Micheal Bisping (-200) and Chris Leben (+160), [...]
