Strikeforce Miami
So with all the ufc events and news around now, I forgot to post about strikeforce! So Strikeforce Miami is coming up January 30th, check out the fight card here! I checked the site for the official fight card back at the end of December and the only thing that was posted about the fight card was Nick Diaz, Cyborg, and Hershel Walker were on the card. Now it is official: Nick Diaz vs Marius Zaromskis, Cyborg vs Marloes Coenen, Robbie Lawler (who wasn't listed back in December) vs Greg Nagy, and finally Bobby Lashely still does not have a listed opponent. That's the main fight card, one that I think will be better than UFC 109's main fight card. Any opinion? post a comment below!

UFC 92 Rampage Jackson VS Wanderlei Silva 3 Video
Hey so this is my first attempt to post a fight video...hope it works! This is the fight I mentioned in the post below...great fight! Check it out! (this player is a bit weird, just either wait until it loads fully or once some of it has loaded just click the time bar a few seconds in and it should start playing)
PRIDE FC Show on Spike
This show was insane! I love watching fights, and this show was just pure action...the best fighters out there in one of the best fight promotions. And this show just selected the most interesting fights. I tune into spike so often and I always find MMA shows that I love watching, and this show is now one of my favorite shows on spike, and on TV! I can't wait for next weeks episode! Comment below on what your favorite fight of this episode was! I especially liked the Rampage Jackson vs Wanderlei Silva fight. Great grappling, submission attempts, and a great stand up battle. These two fighters always give awesome performances, and putting them together makes for one awesome fight. Rampage vs the axe murderer (wanderlei) have fought 3 times so far, each more epic than the last! I think my favorite so far is number 3 (rampage won by KO in teh first round). I don't favor Rampage over Wanderlei but that was an AWESOME KO, wanderlei was actually twiching! (the last few shots by Rampage to the grounded wanderlei, especially when the ref was trying to push him off, were completely unnecessary but exciting to watch). and the weigh ins just fueled my excitement for this fight! If you have not seen this fight WATCH IT NOW! I watched it on ufc's ultimate knockouts 7 but it is also on UFC 92. More about this show next week!
Best of Pride tonight on SPIKE!
I'm excited for this show make sure you check it out! 7PM! Some of the UFC's best and most entertaining fighters came from PRIDE FC, so this show should be very entertaining. Some of these fighters include Rampage Jackson, Wanderlei Silva, Maricio Shogun Rua and many more! Chuck Liddell also fought in PRIDE and I'm sure his fights will be featured! Check out this video from UFC

Kimbo Slice to come back to UFC on March 21st?
So there are a lot of rumors out there about Kimbo Slice fighting once again in the UFC on March 21st in UFC on Versus. Usually these rumors do turn out to be true when they are this high in volume. However, with or without Kimbo, this card is AWESOME! Also billed as Fight Night 21, this card will include Jon Bones Jones vs Brandon Vera, Junior Dos Santos vs Gabriel Gonzaga and Anthony Johnson vs John Howard! Also it has been rumored Kimbo's first opponent on TUF season 10, Roy Nelson, will be included in the card! I personally can not wait for March 21st for Fight Night 21!!
PRIDE FC Show on Spike
Pride FC (fighting championship) was the UFC of Japan before Zuffa bought it out and got the contracts of the best Pride fighters and added them to the UFC. This show on spike will be a great show to watch! I can't wait until friday to watch this show! The fighters will include Quinton Rampage Jackson, Maricio Shogun Rua, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Wanderlei Silva, and many more! These fights will showcase all of the most popular Pride and now UFC fighters and how they started off! Should be an awesome show!
UFC 109 Excitement!
So since I made this blog today I'm pretty excited about sharing my MMA thoughts! UFC 109 is coming up (Feb 6!!!) but we still have a few weeks! I'm pretty excited about this card-Randy Couture always has interesting fights. On the UFC website there is a poll based off of the fantasy UFC section about who the fans think will win the main event-Randy Couture or Mark Coleman. And I think it's safe to assume everyone is confident The Natural Randy Couture will win. The percentage results heavily favor Randy with 94% thinking he will win, while the other 6% thinks Mark Coleman will win....
I know I'm putting my fantasy vote in for a unanimous decission for Randy Couture but not because of these results, I just have faith in The Natural! I think it will go the distance and end up in the judges hands and when it does I think Randy will have put on a great performance to land him a unanimous decision victory!
comment on your thoughts about this fight
Also I was pretty excited to see Josh Koscheck get back into the octogon after an enthralling fight with Anthony Rumble Johnson at UFC 106, but it turns out he is injured and will be replaced with Mike Quick Swick. After I saw this swap out, I was even more excited! Mike is a great, talented fighter who will definetely put on a great show in February! I got to see Paulo Thiago at UFC 106 also, and now he's getting back into the octogon! He was explosive in November and these two fighters together will put on a very exciting show! Can't wait for the upcoming bouts in the UFC-and March will be a GREAT GREAT GREAT month for fights-UFC on versus and UFC 111 with some of my favorite fighters- Jon Jones, Georges St. Pierre, and Dan Hardy all in one month!! But more about that later!

UFC Fight Night 20 Thoughts
So, it's a little late (few days), but I just made this blog account, so what better way to start off than to talk about a great night of fights at UFC Fight Night 20 from Fairfax, Virginia.
I didn't catch all of it as I was at wrestling practice, but I got home just in time to see one of my favorite fighters--Amir Sadollah! (I actually got to see him fight live at UFC 106-watch my video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9Bbpdbw5jg). He had a VERY explosive fight against "Bad" Brad Blackburn. Amir went a solid 3 rounds at UFC 106 with Phil Baroni and that excellence was repeated in the cage at Fight Night against Brad Blackburn. Great leg kicks once again by Sadollah, one of the best leg kickers in the UFC! And Brad Blackburn's performance was great as well! I started off rooting for Amir because he is one of my favorite fighters-but this fight just gave me chills and I was just happy to be watching such a great fight and I didn't even care who won! Now the next fight I want to talk about is the main event-Maynard vs. Diaz! I saw Nate's brother, Nick Diaz, fight Shamrock at Strikeforce: Shamrock vs Diaz, and I have been a fan of the Diaz brothers for a while. I was a little upset by the split decession victory for Maynard, but the fight went an explosive 3 rounds and once again the outcome did not matter to me as much after watching such an interesting bout! After the fight there were talks about Maynard getting a title shot at BJ Penn, and I immediately started thinking about the fight! Even though Maynard pulled off a split decession victory against Nate Diaz and was pretty impressive in this fight, I am not quite sure he should get a title shot. I don't think his performance is good enough to take on the champ-BJ Penn. I guess we will see soon if I am right or wrong!
(by the way Nate being able to throw off Gray's game plan by angering him in the fight shows how Nate's showboating-although it seems unnecessary-actually served a purpose!)
