UFC 112 is now Silva vs Maia

Due to injury, Vitor Belfort will no longer be challenging Anderson Silva for the title. UFC 112 was to make history with the first UFC event in the UAE, Abu Dhabi specifically. Ferari world in Abu Dhabi is currently making an outdoor arena in the center of the park to host the event, with an octagon right in the center. Silva vs Belfort was going to be a very fair match up as Belfort was the top contender for the Middleweight crown. Next up would be Chael Sonnen, but due to a forehead laceration which he obtained in his fight against Nate Marquardt, he would not be cleared in time for UFC 112. Demian Maia will recieve his shot at the title as the 3rd top contender for the title, and after that, we could see Belfort get his shot against the winner (my bet is on Silva!), and then Sonnen should get his shot. Keep checking back for UFC updates!

Joe Rogan Doesn't Just Commentate on Fights

Watch this hilarious clip of a mishap at UFC 109 during the bout between Melvin Guillard vs. Ronnys Torres. You probably didn't see this because it was during the undercard!

New UFC Undisputed 2010 Updates!

First update: who will be on the cover! As you can see below, the cover will feature Brock Lesnar! Why him? Dana White says it is because of his "intensity and relentless commitment to the sport of mixed martial arts, as well as to the UFC."

I would have liked to see someone more like BJ Penn or Anderson Silva who has dominated their weight division, but Brock is now back and should be around for a while.
Also some new fixes to gameplay include:
- New southpaw stance!
- Ability to sway entire upper body and head to evade
- Ability to throw more powerful, fight ending strikes from any position/posture
- All these along with the updates listed in the post below!

Also new in the UFC:
After his fight with UFC Hall of Famer, Randy Couture, Mark Coleman recieved 60,000 while Couture received 250,000 (without bonuses) and was cut from the UFC. Many believed he fought his last fight back at UFC 100 fighting Stephen Bonnar, but he was able to pull the upset and managed to get another fight in. However, this fight will be his last in the UFC according to Five Ounces of Pain

Also new in the UFC:
Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann will not be fighting in the UFC 111 main card. Various internet rumors say he was injured while training and is expected to be replaced by Jake Ellenberger, who defeated Mike Pyle by TKO in the second round back at UFC 108. This news is coming one week after the card was finalized with the addition of the Jon Fitch-Thiago Alves bout.

UFC Undisputed 2010 Upgrades

Recently, Gamespot conducted a Q&A with one of the designers behind UFC Undisputed 2010, Omar Kendall. UFC Undisputed 2009 was a great game that was fun to play, but everyone would agree there are some tweaks that are needed to make the gameplay really fluid and make the experience great and not just good. After reading through the Q&A here are some of the improvements I am most excited about:

• The ability to visit camps in training. Also you can work on individual moves you want to learn or get better at.
• Better alignment for clinch gappling and ground grappling which gives the player more control 
• you can employ the cage during the fight
• Online fight camps allow players to unite in a camp to unlock new milestones and rewards
• Addition of Samba, Karate, and Greco Roman wrestling to fighter disciplines, and a grappling style that allows fighters to learn moves as they see them

The gameplay should be much better with this release, can't wait to get my hands on a copy after it is released on May 21!

Nate Marquardt at UFC 109

Back at UFC 73, Nate Marquardt got a title shot at Anderson Silva, and lost at 4:50 of the first round due to KO. After Marquardt's loss, Damien Mia (a very strong grappler) was thought to be the top contender for the belt, but that was shut down after losing to Marquardt with one right hand that ended the fight at 21 seconds of the first round at UFC 102. Now, Marquardt is right back up for title contention. Vitor Belfort surpassed Marquardt on getting a title shot as he is fighting at UFC 112 against Silva in Abu Dhabi, but if Marquardt wins against Chael Sonnen at UFC 109 this Saturday, he could move back up to top contender for the belt. But Marquardt will not be distracted by the temptation of getting a shot at the Middleweight title, and is focused on winning his upcoming fight. After all, after another w on his record, a lot of opportunities and possibilities open up for Marquardt. And speaking of UFC 109, make sure you return to this blog as I will have a live stream embeded where you can watch UFC 109 for free! And I will be embeding the main card fight videos right here as well the day after the fight!
