Kenny Florian Parts Ways With Mark Dellagrotte
Two-time challenger to the UFC lightweight title, Kenny Florian is parting ways with Mark Dellagrotte and Sityodtong to begin training with Georges St. Pierre’s trainer at the Tri-Star Gym in Montreal. The move may come as a surprise to most but there had been reports of some discontent between Florian and Dellagrotte while he was training for his bout with UFC lightweight champion, B.J. Penn at UFC 102 last month. Leaving Sityodtong also means no longer working with strength and… (Full Story)
Florian vs Guida Likely For UFC 106
Michael David Smith of MMA Fanhouse sent out a tweet today stating that a lightweight bout between Kenny Florian and Clay Guida is likely to place at UFC 106 in November. Both fighters are coming off of losses. Florian lost his first fight in almost three years earlier this month to lightweight champion B.J. Penn. It was Florian’s second unsuccessful attempt at capturing the UFC lightweight championship. Guida lost one if the most exciting, if not the most exciting fights of the year to… (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)
Penn vs. Florian in the Works for UFC 101
Five Ounces of Pain reported that the UFC is trying to put together the next title defense of lightweight champion B.J. Penn for UFC 101 in Philedelphia. His opponent is slated to be Kenny Florian, and has been for some time now. UFC 101 may be set for August 8th at the Wachovia Center in Philly, but nothing about the event has been made official yet. Should be a good fight, though, and it’ll give B.J. a chance to do something other than… (Full Story)
BJ Penn Doesn’t Want to Fight At UFC 99
Sherdog.com is reporting that BJ Penn doesn’t want to fight until late summer, either until July or August. A fight with Kenny Florian that has been rumored for June 13 for UFC 99 on June 13 in Cologne, Germany doesn’t interest Penn as he wants to spend time with his newborn daughter Aeva. “I talked to my manager Joe Cavallaro today and Joe Silva told him June 13,” Florian said to Sherdog.com on Monday. “That was the date they wanted because they wanted it to be the main event and… (Full Story)
UFC 99 is Gangsta
UFC 99 is gangsta. If it was a gang I would do a B and E to join. UFC 99 is Harvey Keitel in Taxi Driver. UFC 99 is the reverse of getting Rick Rolled. There is a title fight; B.J. Penn vs. Kenny Florian. Just rumored for a possilbe fight is Cro Cop vs Randy Couture. Phresh. The UFC is assuring Marcus Davis that he is fighting in Ireland, so no one tell him. He would be very upset if you do. While Davis is fighting some guy named TBA, other fights include Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei… (Full Story)
Roger Huerta is making a gig mistake
I think that most of us can agree that most of the athletes in MMA were destined for years to make a living through fighting. Don’t get be wrong, there are MMA fighters who have had prior jobs as policemen, wrestlers, or teachers before becoming successful mixed martial artists. If we’ve learned anything about mainstream MMA, it’s that MMA fighters who gain their fame from fighting should usually stick in the fight game for a little while. So it’s surprising for to hear that Roger Huerta,… (Full Story)
2009: Upcoming Fights
As 2008 comes to a close several websites including ours will take a look at the year that was 2008. The biggest fight of the year is this weekend and for some reason I keep anticipating some of the great fights that we will witness or have the chance to witness in 2009. We already know of a few blockbusters that are current dream match ups. In the coming months we will see Rich Franklin take on Dan Henderson and GSP vs. B.J. Penn. These are fights that fans would have dreamed about prior… (Full Story)
