Kalib Starnes gets kick out from the UFC

At UFC 83 Kalib Starnes gave a horrible performance by running away from Nate Quarry. Nate was trying to fight but Kalib kept on moving away and playing hard to get. I understand you dont want to get hit and you need to protect your self but sometimes you just have to take that hit. When you are getting booed from not fighting you really need to fight. Quarry’s response to this was

“I think if you’re fighting in the UFC, you’ve got to come to fight,” Quarry told UFC.com in a post-fight interview. “I would much rather get knocked out than lose a decision running backwards. No disrespect to Kalib. I know the stress really gets to you. A lot of guys, they focus on not wanting to lose instead of wanting to win. I didn’t mean to disrespect him in any way. I just got frustrated because you can’t fight when somebody’s moving backward that fast.”

I agree If you want to fight in a major organization like the UFC you need to be at 110 % and nothing less.

Sorry Kalib but go home and re-think your carrier and if you still want to fight you need to remember that MMA is a sport and a show. We want to see pros fighting at 110% not what we saw on April 19.



Kim “Sugar Free” Couture vs Jessica Cruz

Kim looked good she had a good reach advantage and you can tell Randy taught her some of his dirty boxing and help her with her ground and pound. I give it Kim for giving us a good fight that night it was an excellent show. Kim took Jessica down in the 3rd round mounted her and ground and pounded her until she went limp and the ref stopped the fight at 1:43 of round 3.

p.s. good shit Kim ill be looking forward to seeing you fight again.

Tim Sylvia vs. Fedor Emelianenko in July 08

I just found out that Tim Sylvia is going to fight Fedor Emelianenko in july. wow! I bet Randy is pissed and Dana White is kicking him self in the ass…lol.  If Dana and the UFC was not so picky and money hungry they could have had this fight on their card or even the Randy/Fedor fight. But not now since Tim Sylvia has left the UFC and Fedor has not faught a top fighter in a little while it only right. I would prefer Rand to fight Fedor but since Randy is dealing with this court shit he is to at a stand still. So Tim has his chance to prove him self to world that he is a top fighter.

I think Fedor is going to mop the floor with Sylvia but you never know. I think it will be an interesting fight. I guess we will see what will happen.

Never Back Down

I just saw this movie last night and I actually liked it. Its was a modern day MMA version of The Karate Kid. Boy moves to new town, boy meets girl, girl is bullies girlfriend, bully beets up boy, girl feels bad, boy meets a martial arts teacher and trains, boy gets beet up by bully again, girl leaves bully, boy trains harder, boy beets up the bully in the end and boy gets girl….lol.

I just joking I real liked this movie. It was Hollywood of course the fight scenes were exaggerated and made more for looks and nothing like a real MMA fight. The MMA feel was there and allot of America saw it. This is going to be good for the sport and make it more popular.

The movie capitalized on moves that a beginning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu student will learn but the training scenes were good, you can tell they did their home work.

I like it and you should go see it.

UFC is going to loose some top fighters.

Tito’s last fight is on May 24th UFC 84. Tito’s contracted is up an he said he is going to leave the UFC.  By Tito leaving he is going to start a wave of fighters following him when their contracts or up. Andrei Arlovski, Josh Koscheck, Mike Swick and Tim Sylvia all have contracts ending soon and I would not be suprised if they left. I know Tim said if the UFC doesn’t treat him better he will leave. Andrei is realy needed in the EliteXC because they have no heavyweight talent yet. Koscheck said he will stay and I have no news on Swick.

We all know whats going on with Randy and the UFC. If Randy and Tito go to EliteXC or HDnet fights they will bring a revolution with them. The three biggest name in MMA are Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture and Chuck Liddel. Chuck is not going any were Dana takes care of him. Tito and Randy want out you gotta be a fool if you think nobody is going to follow them.

Tito has this fight for UFC 84 and it will go down in history because after the fight Tito is going to say F%#$ Y*# Dana and bring together a Fighters union or at least lead fighters into other MMA organizations. If Tito wins this fight with Lyoto Machida Tito be unstoppable. But if Lyoto Machida wins Tito will have a hard time getting any fights with anyone.

I  hope the best for all the MMA fighters of the world. You guys are over worked and underpaid, especially in the UFC. Wait sorry the UFC fighters are not underpaid they are being robbed and we all can see it.

I wish that Tito wins (not that I have something against Lyoto Machida cause i don’t) so it will help with the fighters movement and Tito needs to win and get the respect he deserves.

UFC 82: Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson

OMG! that was a good fight! OMG! Am I glad I was wrong in my prediction. The fight started off really intense. Silva walked out the most nervous I have ever seen him. Dan just had that big smile that he always has. The Bell rang and the two fighters meet in the middle of the octagon Dan put his hand out to touch glove and Silva did not touch gloves. Was Silva to nervous? was he mad at Henderson? I don’t know but I have never seen Silva like this before. Normally Silva is very humble and cool, this time he came out nervous and in the second round he went head hunting. Like if Anderson had something to prove. The fight was a little slow at first until Dan shoots and takes down Silva. Henderson stayed on Silva for the rest of the round throwing hammer fists and elbows what ever he can use. Anderson just hung on and waited patiently them Henderson move to side control and Silva spins out and put Dan in his guard, ten seconds later the bell rang. second round started and Anderson is a whole new man he is constantly working and keep the pace. Dan shoots again and Silva stays on top of Dan, then Dan stands back up and put Anderson against the fence. After a little bit a dirty boxing from Dan they move away and Anderson catches Henderson with a left shin kick to the face. Henderson is trying to get away but Anderson keeps give rights to Dans face and Dan falls to the ground. Anderson quickly goes to half mount and drops elbows like crazy on Dan. Henderson re-groups and takes control of Silva by keeping him close and hold him down. They both were staying busy for a little until you hear Herb Dean say “lets work! lets work!” and Silva starts drooping some pretty big bombs on Henderson but Henderson is still hanging in there. Dan gets in real trouble when Silva gets his back and mounts with the hooks. Henderson rolls over with Silva still on his back and Anderson slips in a body triangle. Anderson starts drooping those bomb again, some elbows and hooks. Dan is really not doing anything to defend him self right now(but who could?). Dan rolls over again on his stomach with Silva still on his back. Anderson takes advantage of the situation and tries to go for a “Rear Naked Choke”. Dan rolls over one more time and Anderson sinks the choke deep and Dan taps out. Anderson Silva defends his title again by defeating Dan Henderson at at 4 mins 52 seconds of Round 2 via Rear Naked Choke.

UFC 82 Dan Henderson vs Anderson Silva prediction

First of all I would like to say this fight is bull. sure it would be a killer fight but I don’t think Dan Henderson deserves another titled match. Dan came off of a loss from Rampage ( I know it was a different weight class) and I don’t care how many belts you have or how many weight classes you are in. If you are coming off a loss you should not get a title match. I only watch the UFC because of the fighters, I hate the leadership that the UFC has. They want MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! They are just making this fight for money. Dan Henderson should at least fight Rich Franklin, Rob Yunt or even Travis Lutter first before a title match. Dan is the man I’m not taking anything away from Henderson, it just that Silva is the Champ and he should be treated like a champ. Fighters should earn a title shot in the UFC, not earn it in PRIDE and then fight in the UFC. Rampage was a PRIDE bad ass and he didn’t get a title shot for his first fight. Rampage fought and proved him self to fight Chuck for the title. Dan comes in and gets a title shot and losses then turns around and gets another title shot. Dan I like you allot I’m a big fan but I don’t think you should get a title shot this early.

My prediction is that Dan Henderson will knock out Anderson Silva in the second round. Anderson I’m a big fan but I saw how Henderson did against Rampage and I’m worried for you. My heart is going for Silva but my brain is going for Henderson. I like both of these fighters and it is going to be a killer fight if not the best fight in MMA history. Good luck to the both of you.
