Karo Parisyan Making Octagon Return; Faces Dennis Hallman at UFC 123
If you thought you’d never see the day again when Karo Parisyan rag dolls some dude to the Octagon floor, prepare to be jaw droppingly surprised. According to an initial report from MMA Fighting this afternoon, which has been subsequently confirmed by several other outlets, Parisyan will make his Octagon return on November 20th, versus [...]
Gray Maynard Doesn’t Expect Any Trash Talking with Frankie Edgar
If someone had told you six months ago, that in September, people would be discussing whether or not Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard II is a marketable championship fight, many of us would have laughed and told buddy to piss off. Really, following BJ Penn’s violent and bloody stoppage of Diego Sanchez last December, who could [...]
UFC 123 Headed to Auburn Hills, Michigan; “Rampage” Jackson vs. Lyoto Machida Headlines
Residents of Michigan State, who’ve had more than their fair share of sh—ty news to deal with over the last few years (during this tiresome run of ‘economic uncertainty’), have reason to smile today, as the Detroit Free Press is reporting that UFC 123 is headed to Auburn Hills. According to the report, the card [...]
Wanderlei Silva Believes Chris Leben Wouldn’t Last 2 Rounds Against Him
It was just a couple of months ago that the “Axe Murderer” nation was riddled with grief, upon hearing the news that not only was Wanderlei Silva no longer fighting Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 116 in July, but that the former Pride champ was so banged up, he’d be out until 2011. It was a [...]
Montreal to Host GSP vs. Josh Koscheck II
Heading into his first bout with Georges St. Pierre, Josh Koscheck likely wasn’t most Canadian’s ‘favori’ fighter to begin with, but after his post UFC 113 interview / antics (you may recall him declaring that the asses of both the Montreal Canadiens and GSP were going to get kicked), we’re thinking Kos might not be the [...]
Dana White Heaps Praise on Frankie Edgar
Frankie Edgar might as well had walked out to the Octagon last night with a Rodney Dangerfield bit playing, as despite being the UFC Lightweight Champion, it wasn’t like the guy was receiving a ton of respect heading into his rematch with BJ Penn. Of course, Penn has long been widely regarded as the world’s [...]
Marcus Davis Predicts James Toney “Doing Nothing” Against Randy Couture
If there’s one man that knows what the hell he’s talking about in regards to the whole ‘boxing vs. MMA’ debate, it’s gotta be Marcus Davis. After all, before transitioning into the Octagon, the welterweight went 17-1 as a pro-boxer—that probably qualifies him as an expert no? (Although we’ve learned a thing or two from [...]
James Toney Announces He’s “Seen Fear” in Randy Couture’s Eyes
Just days removed from Saturday’s UFC 118, James Toney continues to toss smack at Randy “The Natural” Couture, further increasing what could very well be, one of the largest helpings of humble pie the sport of MMA has ever seen (Chael Sonnen escaped that humiliation by dominating Anderson Silva for nearly five rounds). That is [...]
Alistair Overeem Dismisses 2010 Bout with Fedor Emelianenko
Yesterday we passed along the news that Fedor Emelianenko is calling out Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem to be his next opponent in 2010 (we used to say victim, but these days, we’re not so sure). Fabricio Werdum is a no go until 2011 due to elbow surgery, so apparently, Fedor and his M-1 Global [...]
M-1 Global / Fedor Announce: “We Want Overeem”
If you’re someone who doesn’t give a damn about whether or not a dude should in fact fight for a championship, you know, after they just lost, you’ve probably been hankering for Fedor Emelianenko to throw down with Strikeforce champ Alistair Overeem next. Hell, we all know it would make for an outstanding, edge of [...]
