Fightticker Radio w/ Josh Stein
I did an appearance of FightTicker Radio. I realized I forgot to give you guys a heads up beforehand, but I’ll make sure to post it the next time I appear on the show. It’s archived up there as the latest Episode, and we talked UFC 92 and UFC 93, as well as a little about the future of some of these fighters. If I sound a little stuffy, I do have a slight cold, but the quality seemed find to me. Thanks to Pramit for inviting me to do the show, and thanks to Brian and Anthony for doing… (Full Story)
Mir, Nogueira, and Pre-Fight Injuries at UFC 92

In the latest UFC fight card reports are starting to surface about the injuries that TUF coaches Frank Mir and Antonio Nogueira had prior to the fight. Antonio Nogueira was finished for the first time in his long and illustrious MMA career. In the very disappointing loss he looked sluggish and off of his game plan. Granted most of… (Full Story)

C.B. Dollaway Does it Again
Remember all of the controversy surrounding C.B. Dollaway’s tapout during his fight with Amir Sadollah? The former Arizona State wrestler denied that he tapped out while he was caught in an armbar, but the cameras and the referee said otherwise.

This picture doesn’t really show much so the animated gif is after the jump!… (Full Story)
Antoni Hardonk: Fighter of the Night
There is no disputing that UFC 92 changed the landscape of two divisions, and set the stage for two title fights. It seemed almost locked, at this point, that the UFC lightheavyweight title fight will be between Quinton Jackson and Rashad Evans and the UFC heavyweight unification bout will also be the second installment of Lesnar vs. Mir. Neither of those are going to be tough sells to the casual fan (though, as someone who’s not really a casual fan, it is going to be a tough sell for me, but… (Full Story)

Photo: Wanderlei and Quinton at the UFC 92 Weigh-Ins
It all began when Rampage started talking and then The Axe Murderer wanted to start fighting a day early. The animated gif is after the jump if you want to see a three second repeating loop of the push over and over and over. It’s like a train wreck, you can’t stop watching once you start. You’ve been warned! As always, props to Combat Lifestyle for the pic!… (Full Story)
