Boxing vs MMA-An Ongoing Battle

So for everyone out there excited for the Machida vs Shogun rematch, your going to have to wait another week. I was as dissapointed as anyone! 9 UFC events after UFC 104 we get to see who deserved the light heavyweight title in the first place. But now, because of boxing and Golden Boy Promotions, MMA fans will have to wait another week for this epic fight card. (Although nothing is finalized because the event is still far away, the card as of now is:Machida vs Shogun 2, Patrick Cote vs Alan Belcher, KIMBO SLICE vs Matt Mitrione, a TUF season 10 reunion, and Jonathan Goulet vs Marcus Davis, and Josh Koscheck vs Paul Daley). Oh, one more thing before the full story, this event was supposed to have a main event of Rampage vs Rashad, but that fell through, so now it is scheduled for UFC 114. So the story is on May 1st, Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley will fight and it will be broadcasted on PPV. Now UFC 113 was on the same day in Montreal, Canada. But, because the UFC could not get a PPV slot because of the boxing match, they have to push back the event by 1 week! Now I'm sure there are many people on both sides that are happy and unhappy about this, boxing fans get a good fight, and MMA fans are upset about the fight being delayed, but this is a good sign for boxing because this shows it is still a sport with a wide fan base. A fight is a fight! So I'm going to stay positive on this one and say at least may will have great MMA and Boxing fights! Keep checking back in for more updates!

UFC 100 Fight Videos-Most of the Main Card

In honor of Brock Lesnar returning to the octagon, here are 3 fights from UFC 100. Lesnar fought Frank Mir for the championship belt and this was Lesnar's last fight before his injury. UFC 100 was the best UFC event in history! With 10,871 people in attendance, UFC 100 raked in over 5 million dollars just at the gate! With 2 championship bouts in one card, this main card was stacked with awesome fight action! Here you can watch 3 of the best fights of the night:
Fight #1 Bisping vs Henderson

Fight #2 The co-main event and first championship bout-GSP (Georges St. Pierre) vs Thiago Alves

Fight #3 The main event of UFC 100 and the second championship bout of the card Frank Mir vs Brock Lesnar 2 (the only video I could find was of the second round where the fight ended, but it's a great clip!)

New UFC Magazine Available Now!

Now this magazine doesn't offer subscriptions so staying on top of release dates is vital if you want to recieve one of the best mma magazines out there now! So this is why I am posting, the Feb/March issue of the UFC magazine is now available in most stores and news stands! Articles will include profiles of Anderson "the spider" Silva, one of the greatest pound for pound fighters, and current ufc middleweight champion. Also Dan Hardy is featured with his upcoming UFC 111 bout against GSP for the title! Arianny Celeste, UFC ring girl, is also featured in this issue. Check out the UFC website for more information http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=48894 
Now take it from me, if your looking for information about the UFC pick up a copy! The last issue was informative and very fun to read. However, it is UFC magazine, so strikeforce, k1, or any other fight league or fighters will NOT be mentioned! And it will have a bias towards the UFC as you can tell. But for information about UFC fighters this magazine is great!

Video of Brock Lesnar Returning

this video basically emphasizes my last post about Brock Lesnar! Learn about his future opponents and his road to recovery from this video. Also this news post from the UFC is another great source for Brock Lesnar returning news. http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=48723

New Facebook Page

Hey everybody, in order to promote my blog, I set up a new facebook account at http://www.facebook.com/mma.blogg?ref=profile
While adding new friends and looking around facebook, I came across an awesome new mma apparel company called Combat Breed. You can see it here: www.thecombatbreed.com and make sure you check it out! There are awesome clothes for men and women. I especially liked the combat breed rash guard!

Brock Lesnar Returning to the Octagon

This is a big day for MMA fans! Brock Lesnar announced today he is finally healthy and hitting the gym! He is slowly regaining his fitness and is expected back in the octagon over the summer. Brock is expected to face the winner of the UFC 111 interim title match (Shane Carwin vs Frank Mir). Or, if the winner of that bout can not recover and make it back to the octagon in time, the winner of the UFC 110 match will instead face Lesnar over the summer. The match in UFC 110 that will decide a possible match for Lesnar would be the main event, Nogueira vs. Velasquez. I can't wait to see the heavyweight champ return to the octagon, and I'm even more excited over the next few events coming up. UFC 111 should be the best card of the year so far! Also a bill was introduced in New York yesterday to push the legalization of MMA in NY (if you didn't already know, MMA is banned in Massachusetts and New York). Also in the MMA world news, but not as exciting as the champ returning to the octagon, GetFungu signed an agreement this week with TapouT mixed martial arts gear and mixed martial arts clothing company to enhance the shopping experience of mobile users especially those using iPhone, Blackberry, and Android phones. That means an easier shopping experience for those looking for mixed martial arts t shirts and mixed martial arts apparel! Keep checking back into this blog for more mma news, videos, and pictures!

UFC 106 Ortiz Griffin 2 Video

Two of my favorite UFC fighters go at it for the second time in Las Vegas. I was in attendance for this fight and it was GREAT! The fight went all 3 rounds and was action packed! Forrest Griffin always pushes the pace and never tires out and always has very entertaining fights, and this one was no different! (my favorite part was Griffin's front kick to Tito's head knocking out his mouthpiece)

Video of one of the most surprising knockouts ever-Scott Smith vs Pete Sell

This fight was during the Ultimate Fighter Season 4 finale and is one of the best knockouts I have ever seen. Watch this video! Scott gets hit with a left hook to the body and leaves him badly injured but Scott is still able to make a very entertaining comeback!

UFC 108 fight video-Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva

This was a great fight that went all 3 rounds and if you missed it on January 2nd, make sure you watch this video! Great display of wrestling on Rashad's part, great takedowns and most of them were successful. Very entertaining fights, especially if you are a fan of wrestling. Evans dominated the first 2 rounds, but Silva came back in the third round and had an opportunity to end the fight with a win, but Rashad recovered. This fight was described by Rashad as a "race back to Machida." It's no surprise that Machida already will re-match Maricio Rua in May, but if Machida retains his title and belt, maybe we will see a re-match and another title defense between Rashad and Machida! Enjoy the fight!
