This is primarly a UFC site, but there is no denying that there are some great, exciting fighters in the Pride organization. This is one of the best Pride highlight video's that I've come across. It has a good sampling of Pride fighters, including current UFC fighters Heath Herring, Mirko Cro Cop and Rampage Jackson.

UFC Event in UK

Bisping

According to UFC.com

Las Vegas, NV â€“ The Ultimate Fighting ChampionshipÂ® (UFCÂ®) organization today announced its long-awaited return to Great Britain this spring when the worldâ€™s greatest mixed martial artists throw down at Manchester's MEN Arena Saturday, April 21.

They really don't say much else. No talk about who's fighting, but we can bet Bisping will be on the card.

Bob Sapp fighting at Cage Rage

Ok, I don't want to turn this into some sort of circus and I know Bob Sapp is not a major player in MMA, but I just thought I'd let you know he's supposed to be fighting April 21st somewhere...against somebody.

For anybody who doesn't think Bob Sapp is a joke, watch this"

Nate Marquardt to Fight For Middleweight Title

Nate Marquardt

Dana White has promised UFC middleweight Nate "The Great" Marquardt a title shot later this year, this came after his dominant victory over Dean Lister (he knocked Lister down 5 times). The big question is "who will Nate be fighting?"

My pics for people he would have to face by the time he gets his shot are:

1) Anderson Silva
2) Rich Franklin
3) Jason MacDonald
4) Mike Swick

Obviously Anderson Silva is way out in front as Franklin needs to re-work his game if he's to re-gain his title. The others are outside shots to take the title away from Silva.

UFC 69 Card starting to take shape.

From UFC.com

Two bouts have been officially added to April 7thâ€™s UFC 69: Shootout card at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

In a middleweight matchup between two up and coming 185-pound prospects, â€˜The Ultimate Fighterâ€™ season three winner Kendall Grove looks to improve on his spotless UFC record when he takes on always-entertaining Alan â€˜The Talentâ€™ Belcher.

Veteran welterweights will also trade blows when Marcus Davis - fresh off back-to-back wins over Shonie Carter and Forrest Petz â€“ squares off against TUF4â€™s Pete Spratt.

UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre defends his crown for the first time against TUF4 winner Matt Serra in the main event of UFC 69, and the card also features a welterweight showdown between two of the divisionâ€™s brightest young stars, Diego Sanchez and Josh Koscheck.

What will it take to defeat Chuck Liddell?

I did a little thinking last night (while watching Ortiz - Shamrock 1 and Cabbage - Arlovski) about what it would take to defeat Chuck Liddell. Here's what I came up with.

#1) Cabbage's head
#2) Wanderlei Silva's Aggression

Or more specifically, a good chin and hard punches.

It's that simple. Rampage beat him because he was able to take Chuck's punches, then deliver hard shots of his own. Tito did not defeat Chuck (and never will) because he doesn't hit hard enough. I think if Tito - Chuck fought with head gear, Tito would win a striking match...on points.

If the UFC wants a competative fight at light heavy for the belt, feed chuck someone with good hands who can take a punch. Of course, that's exactly what they are doing bringing Rampage into the fold.

Don't forget Valentine's Day

Don't do what I did last year and leave it until the last minute, then end up spending $100 for roses which look like they've been run over by the delivery truck.

Mirko Cro Cop vs Cheick Kongo?

I've been hearing rumours that at an upcoming UFC (maybe 70) Mirko Cro Cop will face Cheick Kongo. I think this could be an interesting fight as they are both big time strikers. Many are not giving Kongo a chance, but you just never know. It is a step up from Sanchez.

Travis Lutter hit a brick wall!

I just read a post fight interview with Travis Lutter and he talks about not making weight. Given the way he conducted himself in the interview, I will give him another chance. He basically said that he knew a couple of hours before the weigh in that he wouldn't make weight. He says he has done the same routing a bunch of times and this is the first time he's come up short (welcome to getting older Travis).

He said about 1 1/2 hours before the bout he stopped sweating altogether (even in the Sauna). At that point he knew he wouldn't make weight, but kept trying. The only reason he lost 1/2 pound more between the first and second weigh ins was a trip to the bathroom.

He is consulting with a nutritionist and figures he will keep his weight closer to 185, if the UFC lets him fight again.
