I woke up this morning and turned on my TV to hear Skip Bayless and Jeffri Chadiha (hope I’m spelling that right, sorry Jeffri) arguing about whether Major League Baseball needed to go the route of the NFL with their neutral site Super Bowl. Apparently longtime baseball aficionados Peter Gammons and Buster Olney are now [...]

UFC 90: Post Event Analysis
The best pound-for-pound fighter in the world got perhaps his best challenge of his career, didn’t look his best and still got the TKO victory to defend his title for the fourth time.
In a match that saw Anderson Silva dancing around, trying to keep Cote off-balance and create angles for himself for the majority of [...]

UFC 90: Silva vs. Cote preview
Another week and another UFC pay-per-view event, exactly the way it should be, am I right? I know it’s not feasible for the UFC to put on 52 events per year but I sure do hate the 4-5 week wait that you usually get in between fight cards so when we get these rare [...]

UFC 89 thoughts

Here’s a fighter who has no real ground game to speak of, average hands and boxing skills and an average chin [...]

Merely two weeks before the Breeder’s Cup Classic on October 25th at Santa Anita where the Rick Dutrow (cocaine phene) trained horse was set to take on Curlin and perhaps Casino Drive in a classic racing matchup with Horse of the Year stakes on the line, Big Brown has injured his front right foot during [...]

Kimbo Sliced, what’s EliteXC to do?
So the joke (Kimbo Slice) has been uncovered (by Seth Petruzelli in 14 seconds) and now EliteXC is left scrambling to do damage control as they try to save their promotion. After all, the face of the promotion was just knocked out by some nobody and made to look silly in the process. Obviously the [...]

EliteXC: Heat — post event analysis
One of the most important MMA events for a promotion and the third EliteXC Saturday Night Fights broadcast on CBS took place last night and let’s just say the results were very newsworthy.
The show opened up with a HUGE announcement that the 44-year-old Ken Shamrock set to face Kimbo Slice, EliteXC’s posterboy in the main [...]

EliteXC: Heat event an important moment for promotion and sport
This Saturday, CBS and EliteXC will team for the third time — and what could potentially be the last — to produce “CBS Saturday Night Fights” at 9 p.m. EST. This is a monumental moment for the EliteXC brand, CBS and ultimately, the sport of MMA as well.
Lets face it — right now, EliteXC is [...]
