UFC Light Heavyweight Division
Wednesday, February 8th, 2006Chuck Liddell’s second round KO of mixed martial arts legend Randy Couture at UFC 57 solidified his hold on the top spot at 205lbs. in the UFC. Couture’s emotional farewell after the fight marked the end of an era. Randy has been a major player in the push towards making mixed martial arts a mainstream […]

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006By Zach Arnold Nikkan Sports reports that Bobby Ologun will be under house confinement until March. This is the apparent punishment for the recent incident that took place where Bobby was accused to beating up R & A Promotions President Kazuyuki Ito. Ito stated that full-scale plans to bring Bobby back will be implemented in […]
Valor Fighting: Showdown 2/3
Tuesday, February 7th, 2006By Erin Bucknell Last Friday, February 3rd a couple of friends and myself attended that Valor show out at Cache Creek Resort in Brooks, CA. All in all, it was a pretty good show, especially for being a smaller show. I’d estimate the crowd at about 2,000, which is fairly decent considering the fact that […]
UFC’s youth movement
Tuesday, February 7th, 2006By Zach Arnold I was reading Jason Vondersmith’s article in the Portland Tribune titled Beaten again, Couture walks away and one item really stuck out at me: “We knew Randy would try to lay back and come hard at me, make me overcommit,†said Liddell, 36. “I just tried to move around and pick my […]

MMA and Professional Wrestling are not the same
Sunday, February 5th, 2006By Zach Arnold If you are not a pro-wrestling fan, then this post is probably not for you. If you’re a pro-wrestling fan who follows MMA, stick with me here. Jack Encarnacao (who has written articles for The Boston Globe) wrote a piece titled How MMA’s popularity is already changing pro wrestling. Far be it […]
Nick Diaz: Chicken-Shit Heel?
Sunday, February 5th, 2006By: Luke Nicholson I’m sure the internet community will be a-buzz for a while, over the actions of Nick Diaz towards Joe Riggs at a Vegas hospital following his loss at UFC 57. Sucker-punching your opponent at the hospital after a fight, is one of the least sportsmanlike and classless things you can do. Depending […]

Review: UFC 57 Super Saturday
Saturday, February 4th, 2006By: Luke Nicholson Here. We. Go. Usual Intro stuff to start the show. Randy Couture sounds very confident, that’s not a good sign for Liddell. Early favorite for line of the night: “Chuck Liddell has already reached legendary statusâ€. I’m not so sure of that. I picked Randy Couture going into the show. On this […]
Chuck defends title, Couture Retires.
Saturday, February 4th, 2006By Rob Sayers UFC 57 will go down in history as the event where Randy Couture retired. Much to the disappointment of myself and many other fans, in his post fight interview, Couture stated this is the end of the road for him. Randy showed all of us what hard work and determination can accomplish […]
UFC 57 report
Saturday, February 4th, 2006Rob Sayers & Jason Adams are watching the show tonight. I am not sure if they will do live commentary on the event or if they will come back with a post-show reporter. Luke Nicholson also is watching the show and will have a report with his notes as well. Either way, keep your eyes […]
