Strikeforce: Miami Payroll
MMAJunkie released the payouts for Strikeforce’s card in Miami over the weekend. The results are interesting, though who’s making the most money isn’t surprising. Note Herschel Walker’s payout. Walker donated his winnings to charity, which is a story in and of itself (since it shows that Walker isn’t in the game because he’s hurting for money). Nick Diaz: $100,000 (no win bonus) def. Marius Zaromskis: $30,000 Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos: $35,000 ($15,000 win bonus and $5,000… (Full Story)

Strikeforce: The Things that Matter (and Things that Don’t)
It seems appropriate that Strikeforce: Miami is being held in the same building where EliteXC received its death-knell (the loss of Kimbo Slice to TUF dropout Seth Petruzelli). It seems appropriate because Strikeforce has put together a card that I, as an MMA fan, simply cannot be proud of. There are bouts on this card that matter to the international scene. Marius Zaromskis (13-3 MMA, #9 IWMMAR) vs. Nick Diaz (20-7-0-1 MMA, 6-4 UFC) matters. Cristiane Santos (8-1 MMA) defending her title… (Full Story)
January 20th news roundup
It’s been a slow couple of weeks in the MMA world, but a few notable headlines have popped up lately. It looks like UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will get back to training and begin fighting again later this year. Lesnar appeared on ESPN today with Dana White to discuss his plans to start training after nearly dying of an intestinal disease late last year. According to Sherdog, Charles “Crazy Horse” Bennett was arrested earlier this week after assaulting a training partner at… (Full Story)
Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
Once upon a time I posted a piece entitled Brock Lesnar vs. Kimbo Slice, in it I compared the lives of the two influential fighters. Round two comes to us thanks to the emergence of Bobby Lashley. These two are monsters of men, they both have wrestling backgrounds (in more ways than one), and both are super stars. Tons of people around the MMA world consider these guys to be eerily similar, but they are actually very different!… (Full Story)

Sapp vs. Lashley Weigh Ins
Well, Bobby Lashley weighed in heavy, but Bob Sapp, as expected, weighed in at really-really-damn-heavy. Here are the official results. Bobby Lashley (255.4lbs) vs. Bob Sapp (322.2lbs) Pedro Rizzo (243.6lbs) vs. Gilbert Yvel (237lbs) Din Thomas (146.6) vs. Javier Vazquez (144.8) Chris Horodecki (155) vs. William Sriyapai (154.8) Brett Cooper (169.2) vs. Waachiim Spiritwolf (168.4) Tom Atencio (160.4) vs. Randy Hedderick (159) For those who don’t like subtraction, that’s a… (Full Story)
Today in MMA (5/7/2009)
Well, I haven’t done one of these in a while, but it’s always good to show some love to the guys who are talking on what seems to be a pretty slow day as far as stuff worth writing about. Former top boxer (with an emphasis, in many minds, on the “former”) Roy Jones Jr. is looking to take on Nick Diaz, who seems to have forgotten what weight class he fights in. Sort of makes me wonder if Diaz is thinking that, as he gets older, he’s going to look to have to make the weight increase permanent…. (Full Story)
Bob Sapp is a “Very Big Individual”
That seems like a massive understatement to me, but listen to Bobby Lashley (who will fight Sapp on June 27th) say it, so you can judge for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I03JX8E-SwU Admittedly, Lashley is hardly a small guy, and will probably be 265-275 at the time of the bout. Sapp, however, will have around a 100 pound weight advantage on Lashley, as well as three inches of height. Still, it’s hard to train for a guy like Sapp, who is a solid athlete, given his football… (Full Story)
