TUF: Episode 2: Rampage & Forrest Griffin

Some people have complained about TUF having the guys fight before allowing their characters to develop.  But I think it was a good idea to shuffle things up.  I think they could have at least let the fighters know that they would have to fight their way into the house. It might have been 30 seconds of [...]

Spoiler Alert: Comments on UFC Fight Night Live

Jiu-jitsu365: *Wow!!!!   I looked down for a second and Houston Alexander ‘got knocked out….’  He’s denying he was out, but the video says otherwise.
I was busy thinking how Steve Mazzagatti no longer has that ridiculous mustache and missed it….
 *Nate Diaz put on another clinic against Pellegrino.  Pellegrino got a little cocky after schooling Diaz in the first [...]

Jiu-Jitsu Dream - Dana White and Purple Belts

I had a dream Saturday night that I was sleeping in a Japanese style dojo. I wake suddenly (in the dream) to hear voices in the next room about promoting someone to purple belt. All of a sudden Dana White bursts into my room holding a white gi and a blue belt. He barks out [...]

Chuck Liddell: IceMan’s book was a page turner.

Although I am not excited for any of these fights, especially a rematch of GSP and Hughes, I do want GSP to pull it off. Unless he gasses I [...]

You’ll Never Fight in the UFC Again -TUF Ep. 12

Mac Danzig had a point about having to fight John Kolosci again. He had beaten the guy the week before. It was obvious that Kolosci had an opportunity to figure out what went wrong and would come in with a nothing to lose attitude. Further, Kolosci was saying things like this must be his destiny. [...]

Complaining about MMA Fights..

Before I begin, I must state that I am just as guilty as anyone else. Yet, it dawned on me that perhaps some of us as armchair matchmakers and fighters should ease up a little on the criticism. Or not, it’s all in fun…
However, as I have been perusing the blogs and listening to the podcasts of [...]

Another Hughes and GSP Rematch

Disclaimer: The UFC is a privately owned company and they can do what they want. Also I would never try to hinder any fighter from making any money.
Now, with that out of the way, let’s talk about how solid of an idea it is to have a rematch of Georges St Pierre and Matt Hughes. [...]
