Strikeforce Fedor vs Henderson Results In Controversy! Miesha Tate Crowned New Champion!






Gabriel Salinas-Jones submits Bryan Humes with a Brabo Choke in the final round. "Submission Of The Night"

Derek Brunson taps Lumumba Sayers with the RNC in the 1st round.

Alexis Davis Upsets Julie Kedzie by Unanimous Decision.

Tyler Stinson KO'd Eduardo Pamplona a mere 15 seconds into the fight! Holy shit didn't see that coming! "KO Of The Night"

Gesias Cavalcante snuck by Bobby Green by Split-Decision. This wasn't as close as you think and its a nice much needed win for "JZ." Apparently, there was also an altercation between these two men after the fight in the locker room.

Before the next bout, we pause to listen to the brilliant commentary.
Gus: "Frank, why did Scott drop to Welterweight?"
Frank: "I have no idea."
Gus: "Ok."
And now back to action.

Tarec Saffiedine defeats Scott Smith by Unanimous Decision. Well that was bizarre. From the get go it seemed as if Smith's feet were encased in stone and not his hands. Scott did absolutely nothing early and often while Tarec raped Smith in the clinch with knee after knee. For the 2nd round Smith became target practice absorbing punishment while Saffiedine danced and practiced. Scott finally got knocked down but shot for a single leg holding on for dear life and eventually sneaking out the back door. Scott looks very slow and tired for the final round as the damage accumulates on his face. Tarec lands thudding shots and combo after combo while Smith just eats it not even attempting to move his head. The announcers said the Team Quest fighter out landed Smith 82-8 at one point! It's a route 30-27 across the board for 1 of the new #1 Contenders to the Welterweight crown!

Now we sit through an interview with Heidi (I don’t even care enough to look up your last name) who stammers and studders like Elmer Fudd while we wait for the translator to inform Fedor of the innocuous moronic questions being asked by a wannabe model who knows as much about the sport as New York assemblymen Bob Reilly.

Tyron Woodley defeats Paul Daley by Unanimous Decision. "Semtex" spent most of the fight employing his much improved takedown defense against the ever charging Woodley. Paul looks vastly improved fighting off the fence but doesn't have time to emit any offense. "T-Wood" finally got that takedown in the 2nd and after some incidental G&P and Daley just lays on him in guard and this IS looking like the Koscheck/Daley fight. Boring. For the final round we exchange wildly early and Paul misses a knee and ends up on his back until a 1:30 is left and we get back to the feet. Now we are mixing it up with both men throwing knees and strikes. Paul actually rolled into an oma-plata (perfectly) which was shocking but Ty reverses and stays on top for the end. 30-27 Woodley easy peasey.
* Tyron Woodley will now face Tarec Saffiedine for the Strikeforce Welterweight Championship that Nick Diaz vacated because he is better than all you bitches. 209.

Tim Kennedy defeats Robbie Lawler by Unanimous Decision. Tim looked for a couple of shots early but Lawler powerfully sprawls out of both. Robbie is very active on the feet but not throwing. Lawler looks like he is terrified jumping out of those takedown attempts. They war in the scramble but back to the feet but a really sharp shot by Kennedy gets us back to the mat. The "All-American" moves into mount but Robbie just pushes out and begins to swing wild. In round 2, Robbie lands a left uppercut that dropped Tim (maybe not since he was in mid-shot) and cut Kennedy across the nose but he gets top control when he finishes the takedown and begins the business. Lawler lands some elbows from his back but mainly its Tim doing the big work. “Ruthless” needs to let it all fly down 2 rounds but he still isn’t throwing! Tim looks tired and Robbies knees are continuing to be off the mark. Very little action until Tim takes Lawler down for the final seconds. 10-9 30-27 Kennedy
* There is nothing, I mean nothing more annoying than when a fighter who is obviously down on points, doesn’t show any offense, instead waiting for an opportunity that never comes. Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities Robbie. Tim then brings in a wounded war vet and talks about how important they are because I guess morons who sign up for war and then get their shit blown off are important. I knew enough to not sign up for illegal wars and thus I don't have hooks for fingers. Doesn't that make me smarter and who is this guy a hero for? Not me. Military people sign up for a job knowing full well what they are getting into. Any problem with the results are your own. I prefer not to kill people based upon lies created by old men who will never see a battlefield.

Miesha Tate defeats Marloes Coenen by Arm-Triangle choke submission in the 4th to become the new Women's Strikeforce Welterweight Champion! The "Alpha Female" almost caught Coenen in a Brabo Choke early but Marloes was able to escape the early trouble. Coenen struck back in the 2nd beating Tate on the floor and almost getting a RNC herself. Round 3 was kind of a stalemate with Miesha starting to wear down. Marloes starts hitting with the jab only to be taken down yet again. Coenen starts elbowing but leaves herself open and Tate moves across her locking in the tight submission forcing the Golden Glory product to tap for the 1st time in her career. "Fight Of The Night"
* I'll admit to being a fan of both women and was a little sad for Marloes though she will be back. Miesha Tate is now the queen of women's MMA until "Femborg" comes back or begins fighting men.

Dan Henderson defeats Fedor Emelianenko by TKO (sort of). Both men came out winging bombs and completely out of control. They slip slide around the cage as "Hendo" got hurt 1st, but snuck behind the frantic Russian and dropped him to the canvas with the "H-Bomb." Granted, Fedor landed flat like he was unconscious but he was not. Fedor rolled to his back and defending as Henderson is landing strong punches to the back of the head (illegal) and referee Herb Dean steps in and stops the fight! WTF! How can you not let a "Dream Bout" play itself out? Fedor was upset, "Hendo" was ecstatic, and the crowd was mixed.
* Quite a bargaining chip for Dan Henderson considering that was his last contracted fight. Get out your wallet Fertitas. The only sure thing is Dan is a walking "TRT" success story. Injections get you paid$.
** It was nice personally, to see Fedor Emelianenko a little miffed at the stoppage and Dana White can suck my dick. The "Last Emperor" will decide about "retirement" when he and his God are good and ready. I personally hope he comes back because I feel the fight has been taken out of his hands in the last two bouts. I would not be surprised if DFW cut Emelianenko much like he recently did the now former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem. No matter where his career ends in the states, I'm betting his true final bout will take place in mother Russia for M-1 Global.

7-3 on the picks. A special thanks to Tarec Saffiedine who helped MMAFO accumulate its 1,000th correct fight pick!

Strikeforce Fedor Emelianenko vs Dan Henderson Picks & Prognostications


Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson
July 30, 2011
Sears Center
Chicago, Illinois

Main Bouts (On Showtime):
Fedor Emelianenko (31-3) vs Dan Henderson (31-3) Despite the critics and keyboard warriors announcing the end of the "Last Emperor," he has returned for a match with the "David" of MMA, Mr. "Hendo." It's a heavyweight tilt with Dan giving up about 20 pounds or so coming off an impressive TKO over
Rafael Cavalcante for the Light Heavyweight title. Fedor got caught against Fabricio Werdum and smashed against Antonio Silva though to be fair, with one eye closed and badly battered, Emelianenko still wanted to continue in the bout and the doctors made the call but, it is back to back losses for the once seemingly unbeatable legend. Avoiding the "H-Bomb" is a must but if Fedor Sambo throws "Hendo" to the floor, expect celebrations in mother Russia. Wild exchanges on the feet could favor Henderson as Fedor throws his looping strikes, but Emelianenko catches people off guard with his off angle striking and surprising speed. I think Fedor will be faster and stronger though not as technical on the feet. I really feel Fedor is in a good place mentally and will put this fight on the floor a la his Pride FC days and a classic submission finish.
WINNER-Fedor Emelianenko by Rd.2 Submission

Women's Welterweight Champion Marloes Coenen (19-4) vs. Miesha Tate (11-2) The ladies have exchanged bitter words but I am wondering why they just can't fill the cage with baby oil and let the clothes fall where they lay. I just set back women's MMA another decade. This is actually a really good fight I've been waiting for since it was cancelled the 1st time due to a Tate injury. Now both ladies compete for the strap as Coenen defends with her Golden Glory kickboxing style as Miesha brings Team Alpha (Fe)Male's aggressive wrestling. I'm not so sure people give Marloes credit for her striking and ability to never quit. This is a definite war but Coenen will wear down defending the takedowns as Tate begins to experiment with her standing offense.
WINNER-Miesha Tate by 25 minute Decision

Tim Kennedy (13-3) vs. Robbie Lawler (18-7) It's the guys who can't beat
Ronaldo Souza for the Middleweight title. Both men are looking for a future ticket to the UFC but the annoying wannabe American hero has the best shot. Kennedy is more well rounded and has an ability to just never stop attacking his opponent. That is fine for the "Ruthless" one who likes to counter but he will be sprawling to stay off the ground that is his kryptonite. I just feel Robbie has hit his ceiling in MMA and is kinda treading water now. Tim is still hungry as evident in his "Cooking With Tim Kennedy" specials at Middle Easy.com but I do expect Lawler to hang until the end in what is likely to be a ground em out war.
WINNER-Tim Kennedy by Decision

Paul Daley (27-10-2) vs. Tyron Woodley (8-0) "Semtex" always has a technical power strikers chance but "T-Wood's" wrestling is engulfing. The STL rep is improving on the feet but no dumb enough to trade with Daley's KO power. I think it will look much like the Daley/Koscheck fight but hopefully without the after fight sucker punch.
WINNER-Tyron Woodley by Decision

Scott Smith (17-8) vs. Tarec Saffiedine (10-3) I always enjoy the "Cinderella Kid" in action whether he's getting lamped in spectacular fashion or snatching a victory in the last seconds with a hail mary, but his vacant wrestling skills are going to be his downfall yet again. Tarec has the standard Team Quest tools which will plant Smith on his ass for around 15 minutes. You never know if Scott will land with his "Hands Of Stone" but a smart bet is a long G&P session for Saffiedine.
WINNER-Tarec Saffiedine by Decision

Prelims:
Gesias Cavalcante (15-4-1) vs. Bobby Green (15-4) "JZ" hasn't exactly been going platinum these days but surely he will have enough to stop the "King" who is taking a giant leap up in competition. Also, never pick the guy who lists his style as "hood."
WINNER-Gesias Cavalcante by Rd.2

Eduardo Pamplona (15-2) vs. Tyler Stinson (20-7) The Black House member rides a 10 fight winning streak in against Tyler the Creator, who is very tapable.
WINNER-Eduardo Pamplona by Decision

Julie Kedzie (16-8) vs. Alexis Davis (9-4) I'm a fan of the lil "Fireball" but I also favor her to come in with a winning Greg Jackson game plan the earns her the judges nod.
WINNER-Julie Kedzie by Decision

Derek Brunson (7-0) vs. Lumumba Sayers (4-1) Being brought along at proper speed, the Renzo Gracie/Greg Jackson student comes in undefeated as a bright prospect. Though he sports a cool name, Lumumba is a much greener fighter who will be consumed by the Brunson burner.
WINNER-Derek Brunson by Rd.2 TKO

Bryan Humes (6-1) vs. Gabriel Salinas-Jones (4-0) Eh, take Jones' Muay Thai in the big boys bout.
WINNER-Gabe Salinas-Jones

Wandlerlei Silva Behind The Scenes Video

DREAM Japan Bantamweight Tournament Final Results



















Eiji Mitsuoka defeats Bruno Carvalho by Unanimous Decision.

Marius Zaromskis defeats Eiji Ishikawa by Unanimous Decision. Uh-huh.

Tatsuya Mizuno Upsets Trevor Prangley by KO via knee to the body at 4:41 of the initial round. You just gotta love the "Cinderella Kid" from Japan doing it in highlight fashion again. The two men went at it early but Tatsuya landed a knee to Prangley's belly forshadowing things to come. After a re-start, Trevor moves into a Mizuno knee to the liver that visibly hurts the South African who collapses to the mat. A few hammer fists seal the deal for the Upset Of The Night, Tatsuya Mizuno by KO and thats a big thumbs up. "KO Of The Night"

Kenji Osawa defeats Keisuke Fujiwara by Unanimous Decision. Its true.

Tatsuya Kawajiri TKO's Drew Fickett by punches at 4:41 of round one. "Crusher" was in no mood to play around after the humbling loss to Gilbert Melendez in America and went right to work G&Ping Fickett into the mat. Drew gave the thumps up to the referee and Kawajiri continues the tsunami assault (too soon?) until the referee has seen enough and Fickett lays on the canvas while Tatsuya gets his hand raised and thats a big thumbs up.

Gegard Mousasi retains his DREAM Light Heavywight Title by TKO on Hiroshi Izumi via punches at 3:29 on that 1st round. The "Dreamcatcher" had the left jab working nicely early and then bombed in a right hand that dropped Izumi to his back. Gegard works quickly with sharp G&P and though Hiroshi takes a lot of punishment he makes it to his feet! The referee doesn't like what he sees, which could have been Izumi's teeth literally flying across the ring, and stops the fight. "Life, would lay your body down, to a tune, Red Devil International."

Hideo Tokoro defeats Masakazu Imanari by Unanimous Decision in the DREAM Japan Bantamweight Grand Prix Final! Tokoro was pulling guard while Imanari dove for legs until the referee warned both men for stalling. Back to action and finally Tokoro puts Masakazu on his back and lands a few punches when the 1st ten minute round ends. In the 2nd and final round, Hideo begins to land punches retreating from Imanari's guard. A few even put the "Ashikan Judan" down but he isn't hurt and even attempts a baseball slide takedown that I appreciated. Imanari scores nothing attempting to pull guard and taking some shots as time expires and Tokoro wins a lackluster final.

DREAM Featherweight Champion Hiroyuki Takaya defeats Kazuyuki Miyata by Split-Decision. "Streetfight Bancho" went to work early and landed a meaningful right hand that wobbled Miyata. Kazuyuki is not out of the fight working Takaya against the fence and looking to fight. Hiroyuki is landing more accurately and more often in the 1st ten minutes. In the 2nd round, "Little Hercules" attempts takedown after takedown, failing but pushing "Bancho" into the corners and roughing him up a bit. Takaya chases with missing shots in an offensively challenged round. For the 3rd and final round, its more of the same. Miyata pressing the action into the cage, and "Bancho" got a takedown landed punches as time expired and well after. No point deduction for being as asshole and "Streetfight" retains the 145 lb. title.

4-4 on the picks so what was the point?

UFC 132 Post Post























Well, FightMetric scored the bout 49-47 for Dominick Cruz, giving round 5 for Urijah Faber and awarding a 10-10 in round 4. Cruz also out landed Faber in both total and significant strikes in every round of the fight. In the single round scored for him, Faber had the advantage in strikes to the head 9-4. Cruz held the biggest disparity in the third, outscoring Faber 23-7 and 21-5 in total and significant strikes, respectively. Cruz went 4-13 in his takedowns, Faber 1-5. FightMetric credited Cruz with a sweep/reversal in the third.

All that being said, Faber won the 1st meeting in just over a minute while it took Dominick 25 minutes. With the lack of "star power" in the fledgling Bantamweight division, a rubber match would make sense especially with former champ Brian Bowles breaking his right hand in his win over Takeya Mizugaki. The men hate each other and the hype is basically already provided.

Wanderlei Silva responded by Twitter after his KO loss to Chris Leben. "One of The most Bad day in My life but how have friends never be alone,in The Bad days you now The good friends thanks mu guys for all."
Dana White said after the bout on Silva, "People love him so much because of the way he fights and his style and the type of person he is, but yeah, (it's) probably the end of the road for Wanderlei. I think it's one of those ones where I'd like to sit down and talk to him and kind of Chuck Liddell him into it."
Unfortunately, BLAF is correct that it is time for the beloved fan favorite and personal friend to retire. Yet, he still has one bout left and its against former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Jorge Santiago. Santiago is coming off a KO loss to Brian Stann but is still a Top 10 fighter. Jorge is known for having a weak chin giving Wanderlei the opportunity to go out on top unlike fellow old guard Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, and soon Mirko Cro Cop. I know Joe Silva reads this so make it happen for the legend one last time!

Dennis Siver and Melvin Guillard both expressed desire to rematch perhaps coming up in Texas. Guillard TKO'd Siver back in 2008 though both have improved their respective games. Though they are ranked very close together, perhaps mixing in Clay Guida vs ze German and Mel can have Anthony Pettis in a bout almost guaranteed to be explosive. I can do Joe Silva's job.

Personally, the only people I want to see fight the now on a winning streak Tito Ortiz, include Matt Mitrione (at a catchweight) which would be amazing after all the bad blood and almost scrapping at this year's fighter summit, and bring back Chuck Liddell to cancel Tito Ortiz much like the "HBBB" did to Ken Shamrock. The win was his 1st since October 2006 which saw him go on a 0-4-1 run between victories so he'll probably demand a new contract and title shot. The Forrest Griffin Tito fights are just awful and Lyoto Machida would kill him so lets just keep things simple. Mitrione or Liddell to put Ortiz to bed.
* Major props to the UG for the instant "Romo-shop" results which are quite hilarious.

We already know Carlos Condit gets the winner of Georges St. Pierre and Nick Diaz.

George Sotiropoulos and Matt Wiman could hook it up after tough losses here at 132 and help keep the Lightweight division tidy. Also, Wiman should be at the very least fined for his temper tantrum after the judges verdict was read.

And finally, repeat offending idiot Quinton Jackson was allegedly involved in an altercation outside of a San Francisco nightclub last week. In order to avoid/evade authorities after the incident, he made his way into a San Francisco bar and told the owner,"Let me in, I'll tweet about your bar. It'll be the number one bar in the city by tomorrow." The owner then told "Rampage" (has there every been a more appropriate nickname?) that he had thirty minutes to get out of his bar or he would call the police. It's not clear whether he was booted from the place or left on his own accord, but within thirty minutes, Jackson was no longer inside the bar. There is security footage of this entire incident which I can't wait to peruse. I am so tired of this disrespectful overgrown child who continues to flip out seasonally only to be given undeserved title shots. This adds to the recent list of dry humping a female reporter, "motor-boating" a different female reporter, threatening and acting like a fool with reporter Ariel Helwani, and being just a constant ass.

Granted the case of Brett Rogers beating the shit outta his girlfriend this week is worse, but I'd be happy to see "Rampage" hit the unemployment line and begin his lauded career as a B-movie actor.

UFC 132 Results: Cruz Stays Champ, Leben KO's Wand, Condit Destroys Kim, & A Night Of Great Fights!





First of all, this was an amazing event. Once things began on Spike TV, it was all dramatic fights with the title bout being everything you want in a championship bout. There were even hell freezing over upsets, controversy, and its back to back impressive events for Zuffa.

Jeff Hougland defeats Donny Walker by Unanimous Decision. Haven't seen it.

Anthony Njokuani defeats the tough as hell Andre Winner by Unanimous Decision. Njokuani put on a kickboxing clinic in the 1st. Anthony just opened up with a bevy of knees and punches unanswered by Winner who just absorbed a silly amount of punishment as the referee looked very close to stopping the fight. Somehow, Andre survived the brutal crushing onslaught of the 1st though it was clearly a 10-8 dominant round. In the 2nd however, the Team Roughhouse Brit came out swinging only to find himself eating more knees and an onslaught of kicks. After being owned for 10 straight minutes, Winner came out still battling though he would again have no answer for Njokuani's offense it an impressive bout of dishing out and taking abuse. 30-26 and a spectacular performance of Njokuani! "Fight Of The Night"

Aaron Simpson defeats Brad Tavares by Unanimous Decision. Haven't seen it and don't care to. The bout play-by-play sounds like it went exactly was expected.

Brian Bowles defeats Takeya Mizugaki by Unanimous Decision. Bowles do what he do out striking the tough Japanese fighter but also broke his right hand (yet again) sometime in the 2nd round. Had it not been for that Brian was finding his rhythm and range and might have had a more impressive performance. It is a good solid win but the cat can't stay healthy long enough to make a good run at his former championship.

Rafael dos Anjos KO's George Sotiropoulos with a lucky punch a mere 0:59 into the 1st round. The guys come to the center and exchange in a wild flurry. Anjos brings a bomb from far right field that puts George's lights out before he hits the canvas where he then ate a few more finishing shots. Rafael just closed his eyes and winged that sucker and it landed on the button. A tough string of luck for the Aussie dropping two in a row after making what looked like a run for the title. The Brazilian is now 4-3 in the UFC but this will open a lot of new opportunities.

Melvin Guillard KO'd Shane Roller in the very 1st round as well. The two men felt each other out a bit and then proceeded to exchange at close range signaling the theme of the night. Then Melvin landed an uppercut left hook combination that dropped the Oklahoman though he quickly rose to his feet. Guillard met him with a just stiff brutal right hand that put Shane down for good. Melvin adds a little G&P and its a wrap.
* Melvin seems to have genuinely grown up as a person which has only made him a more deadly fighter. When an arrogant young guy with ridiculous natural abilities has early success, he doesn’t evolve content in god given abilities. Guillard's new humility has made him very scary with Greg Jackson holding the reins. Mel said he will not fight fellow top contender and teammate Clay Guida unless gold is on the line.

Carlos Condit destroyed Dong Hyun Kim by TKO via Flying Knee and punches in yet another 1st round stoppage! The "Donger" came out and slammed Condit to the mat but Carlos easily got to the feet where he unloaded a picture perfect switch flying knee that ruined the "Stun Gun's" world! Kim crashed to the floor unconscious but the always vicious "NBK" mounts his defenseless prey and batters his head as the referee pulls him away. Total destruction for Condit who seems to have erased all doubt as to where he belongs in the Welterweight title picture. Never underestimate the (excuse the pun) killer instinct of Carlos who should get the winner of Georges St. Pierre and Nick Diaz. "KO Of The Night"

Tito Ortiz Upsets Ryan Bader by submission via Guillotine Choke in another goddamn 1st round finish!! The "HBBB" pulled off the upset of the year landing a seemingly innocuous right that dropped dumb "Darth" just as the crowd was chanting Tito's name. An almost frantic and shocked Ortiz then latched onto a guillotine and low and behold hell has frozen over and Oprah Winfrey is flying! Oh the embarrassment Ryan must have felt as Tito launches into his grave digger routine as surprised as the rest of us.
* This is just funny and ridiculous. We finally get Tito so close to being out the door and that muscle head moron Bader fucks it up. I'm not saying I have any faith in Ortiz, but I did throw down a little $cratch on Mr. Jameson which paid off big. I just had this feeling that the Arizona fray boy was going to blow the fight like Jenna Jameson on every cock she has ever seen. No Submission of the Night bonus.

Dennis Siver defeats Matt Wiman by controversial (?) Unanimous Decision. In ze beginning Siver showed great balance defending constant takedown attempts but vinning ze striking war in ze close exchanges. Matt did gain some takedowns but zey would be nullified by Dennis instantly getting back to the feet and landing strikes. Siver also got a takedown worss nosing but ended ze round on bottom perhaps confusing ze crowd. In the 2nd Wiman got the takedown and cut Dennis wide open wiz strong elbows. Siver became a crimson mass and Matt stuck close to him damaging ze German. For ze final round, it waz close but at ze 2:30 mark Siver landed a big combination. Mainly Matt got lazy and shot for a takedown that was stuffed like a German shower in the 40's. Matt dropped for a guillotine but couldn't get it as he absorbed punches on ze feet and tripped Siver to ze floor. Dennis reverses and drops Matt with a strong leg kick and ends ze fight boxing Wiman's ears and attempting a guillotine.
* The judges all see it 29-28 for Dennis Siver and "Handsome" rips his hand away from the referee, throws his hat in disgust, and leaves the cage as the crowd boo's the decision I suppose. They also boo just for being foreign so who cares. They should have boo'd the poor sportsmanship displayed by a guy who acted as if it wasn't a close fight. It was. The 3rd is tough to call but I also had it for Siver and thought the other two rounds were obvious. It probably doesn't help the now growing outrage on the Internet that there has been so much bad judging recently and Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg had the fight in the bag for Wiman before the 3rd even ended. Ignore the commentary and watch it again.

Chris Leben
KO's Wanderlei Silva just 20 seconds into the bout! Before the bout Wand said, "I am kamikaze, kill or be killed." Silva stuck to his word coming out immediately with a barrage of punches that rocked the "Crippler." Always most dangerous when hurt, Chris delivered a couple of solid left uppercuts that had Wandy reeling before he fell onto his mug and Leben punched him out. While unconscious, Wand battled with the referee before eventually coming to. Unfortunately, I believe this may spell the end of the "Axe Murderer" in MMA. Too many knockouts and too many wars. Dana White mentioned that it may be time for retirement as well in the post fight presser as well. It was the slug fest the fans wanted but with the wrong ending.

Dominick Cruz defeats Urijah Faber by Unanimous Decision. I'll give you credit Zuffa, I have yet to find this bout on the Internet but this pirate will prevail. From what I've read, it seems generally correct that Cruz won the decision on speed and volume of punches though Faber scored the takedowns in a title bout that exceeded expectations. I wish I could see it.

7-4 on the picks.

Nate Marquardt Testosterone Replacement Therapy



This just in, Nate Marquardt is a liar and a fraud. His explanations are completely full of shit and he is a habitual cheater. I'm glad he is cut from the UFC and it took this situation for me to finally like something Bellator Welterweight Champion Ben Askren said.

Testosterone replacement therapy my ass. Maybe if you pull your balls down you'll make some testosterone and stop talking like a weepy bitch. I do agree that Chael Sonnen should be fired as well but that just points to Zuffa's continual double standards for fighters that can make them money and draw attention against a boring fake.

BJ Penn, handle these bitches.
"All this testosterone replacement therapy stuff is total BS. A true martial artist would never consider cheating. Fighters on roids=blue collar crime Coaches of fighers on roids=white collar crime. Everyone has to come together and get this "ped" cancer out of our sport." BJ Penn's Twitter
