The 5 Most Overrated UFC Fighters

Overrated-UFC

There are some guys that, no matter how many times they headline pay-per-views and no matter how many times they are hyped by the announcers, just aren’t main event material. For some, their time has come and gone while others just fail to live up to the hype that the UFC has bestowed upon them. Here are the five most overrated UFC fighters. (more…)

The 5 Best Returning UFC Fighters

UFC-lead

While the UFC is bringing in new talent, like Anthony Johnson and Todd Duffee, all the time, UFC President Dana White has been reaching out and bringing back a lot of the faces that the fans have been following for years. So while some of the newbies might be the emerging stars in the ring, these five heavy-hitters definitely know a thing or two about whooping ass. (more…)

Fedor Emelianenko KOs Andre Arlovski

Speechless.

Arlovski had 4 inches in height, 10 lbs in weight, and a 3 inch reach advantage. Arlovski had speed and did a solid job, that helped him dominated the first minute and a half of the first round.

Within those first 90 seconds, Andre Arlovski got stoned. Soon after, he decided to try a flying knee (with his hands down) while Fedor was coming off the rope. The moment I saw the knee coming, the world stopped. Even Tito Ortiz, who could go down as the WORST ring announcer in the world, said, “Don’t do it!” Ironically, the next on the list for Fedor is Josh Barnett. If you don’t know who he is, he was a former UFC champion, and the next dude to get sodomized by Fedor Emelianenko in about 6 months.

Overall, these M1/Affliction events have the production value of a high school A/V club video. They have the wierdest F*$CKING annoucers in the world. Some dude from OZ, who couldn’t get a job in the Sopranos, and some other dude who sounds like Harvey Firestein – walking around the arena interviewing fans, is not my idea of informational reporting. I will take Joe Rogan over Tito Ortiz as an announcer, any day of the week.

Kimbo vs. Brock Lesnar: The Battle of Attractions

This past weekend, street fighter Kimbo Slice entered the Elite XC octagon and burst James Thompson’s cauliflower ear. It was bloody, exciting, and saved Kimbo from what was sure to be a loss.

Kimbo Slice, a former varsity football player, bouncer, and bodyguard, became famous via underground street fights posted on YouTube. He’d win his fights by fiercely bludgeoning his opponents, which turned the heavy-hitter into an over night sensation.

Kimbo decided to take his craft to the world of Mixed Martial Arts, and so far has a record of 2-0. On Saturday though, his weaknesses were exposed: Despite being a great street fighter and striker, Kimbo is out of his element on the ground. If an experienced opponent like Tito Ortiz takes him down, he’s potentially finished.

But there is another famous Mixed Martial Artist who is as inexperienced as Kimbo,ds but is generating buzz–former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. (more…)
