Action Movie Star Wants to Step Into the Cage!
Former action movie star Jean Claude Van Damme wants to prove that he can not only fight on the big screen, but in real life too! Van Damme wants to compete in a K1 event against former Olympian Somluck Kamsing. However, this fight could never take place in the US because of strict guidelines for MMA fighters over the age of 35. Sure, Randy Couture, Mark Coleman, Frank Trigg, and Matt Serra are all over the 35 year mark, but they can all meet the guidelines and fight on the main card of UFC 109 because they have experience and are in top physical shape. Can the same be said for Van Damme? Apparently not because the fight can not take place in the US because Van Damme did not meet requirements and his lack of experience. Could we see Van Damme step into a real MMA fight soon? Sure, just not in the US!
Strikeforce Videos
Excited for Strikeforce Miami? I'm sure a lot of people are! That's why I decided to post some videos to get everyone excited for a fight card that will be shows live on Showtime on Saturday. Strikeforce Miami will be held at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida and will have a better card than the next two UFC events (UFC 109 and 110). The main event will be between Nick Diaz and Marius Žaromskis, and you can watch Nick Diaz in his last two fights against Scott Smith and Frank Shamrock here:
The only Strikeforce female title holder, Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos will defend her title against Marloes Coenen and this will be her second title fight since beating Gina Carano in August of 2009 which you can watch here:

This card should be very entertaining and will have some great fights, so be sure to watch this event! Remember, it will be live on Showtime, but if you do not dish out the extra money for this premium channel, check back here for a live fight blog, ways to watch the fight, and I will post the fight videos after the fights take place!

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!)
