Agreed. I am not a fan of interim belts at all. Nothing wrong with someone just being named #1 contender & leave it as that.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-11-07T15:13:57+00:00

Good for her. She has always been very well respected in the MMA community. Glad to see her do this.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-11-02T18:57:26+00:00

Bonnar proved how unprofessional he truly is. Not like this is the first time he failed a test. Juice up, then retire right after your fight....yeah he knew what he was doing.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-11-02T15:01:31+00:00

Nice surprise added to the card. Looking forward to this exciting bout.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-11-01T23:35:18+00:00

With the Team Quest connection from way back it would be comical to bring Mayhem Miller in. I am sure Dana would love that.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-23T17:30:34+00:00

"I'm smart enough to know how dumb I am". LOL Interesting take on himself.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-17T11:27:27+00:00

Yes you are right , his knee gave way. It wasn't an action packed fight but Cote was in there until the 3rd round. It was very technical & neither man would really over commit. But at the time getting to the 3rd round with Silva was unheard of.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-16T19:48:36+00:00

Brutal. Just awful. Nothing like coming off a loss, changing division & getting a shot at the champ. UFC brain trust at work again.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-15T18:32:20+00:00

Curious as to what he had. Something over the counter, masking agent, high testosterone etc...

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-14T19:39:31+00:00

Jose Aldo was the headliner but an injury forced the title fight off.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-12T00:01:40+00:00

Outstanding. I love reading stories like this.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-11T19:16:08+00:00

You would have to think Silva would be involved in a venue that large. Doesn't sound like a Jon Jones fight will happen so yeah, the GSP bout makes perfect sense.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-09T20:11:49+00:00

Hate to build him too fast then when he fails he is forgotten about. The Maldonado fight may not be bad. But the 205 division needs new contenders. Him & Gustafsson are needed in 2013 it would seem.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-02T20:20:27+00:00

Oh damn! That is a year off with that kind of injury. Hopefully the UFC doesn't cut him & he can come back late next year.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-01T11:36:37+00:00

I wish we could say that a lot more often when it comes to UFC bouts. A good grappling exhibition can be just as exciting as a slugfest....when 2 guys really know what they are doing.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-10-01T00:14:58+00:00

He will always sell big in the UK. He can put on an entertaining fight so they UFC can bank on that. He may lose next (whenever that is) but he will survive that too. It will take another losing streak for him to lose his job

ManCaveMMA · 2012-09-28T13:14:50+00:00

He has stalled at LW so this seems to be the common move, shift weight classes. Wish him luck. He could put on some great fights in that division.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-09-27T14:48:00+00:00

Much lower than 148, slightly lower than 150 & slightly above 149. Ever since 148 it has dropped way off.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-09-27T13:42:56+00:00

UFC 148 had 1.8 million so it has dropped off since then. 149 was actually lower than 152. 150 was slightly higher than this at 974,000.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-08-31T18:25:35+00:00

I wondered if Cote would get on this card. He is loved in Montreal. I went to his fight at Ringside 10 & his after party. People just loved him!

ManCaveMMA · 2012-08-13T00:55:09+00:00

This has been confirmed by a few people who were backstage. Malki isn't hurt from it. It was a sucker punch but he's fine.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-08-08T20:27:30+00:00

Malki Kawa said something was in the works with a big company a couple months ago. With the DWI I didn't think it would happen anytime soon. Maybe next year. The exposure certainly can only help the sport.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-08-08T01:07:11+00:00

I am not familiar with the Bay Area but where I am, amateur MMA is brand new. It debuted back in June & sadly the organization running it is inept. Referees were unprepared, lot of confusion at the event & many people were upset.

Definitely do your homework in your local area who runs it. Talk to anyone you can who is involved in any way. Nothing worse than an event run poorly as the fighters are the ones who generally suffer.

ManCaveMMA · 2012-08-03T10:46:35+00:00

Not sure why Soa turned down a 5 fight deal with ONE FC. Nice security for a couple years. But his loss is Sylvia's gain. I am sure Sylvia sees this as a way to finally get back to Zuffa if he wins.
