Thiago Silva suspended for six months after testing positive for marijuana metabolites

... 2nd time in 2 fights. I think it's time to give Bjorn Rebney a call.

The UFC and Dana White should strip Dominick Cruz of his Bantamweight Title


Dominick injured himself yet again. He won't be decisioning people to death until 2014.

UFC 157 is going to be headlined by Rousey vs Carmouche. The first WMMA fight in the UFC headlines a PPV. That's massive. The choice of opponent is pretty weak, nobody knew who Carmouche was when she fought Marloes Coenen and that situation still stands. They really should've brought in Marloes Coenen to fight Rousey. Other reasonable choices would be Alexis Davis, Shayna Baszler, Sarah McMann, Cat Zingano or Amanda Nunes, but they all suffer from the same problem as Carmouche: almost nobody has ever heard of them. Coenen's name still holds some value. Still, this is only a practice fight for Rousey vs Cyborg on a brazilian PPV card.

^^ Carmouche got the fight because she was the only one actively pushing for it in Social Media, and got what she asked for, the rest of the ladies just stood by while Carmouche talked her way into a historical fight for the UFC, but yrs she's s till a few fights from being a title contender, but she does have potential down the road

Get hyped.

Contrasting with an absolutely terrible season, the TUF 16 Finale was AWESOME. Great fights, tons of finishes and free. What's not to like?
The UFC on FX 6 card (the TUF Australia vs UK finals), not so much. The TUF guys sucked badly, Pearson did his thing and Lombard got a gift win because Paul Harris was too dumb to take him down and fought a flat footed stand up battle. Put Lombard against Muñoz and watch him squirm.

Greatest moment of the night. Vinc Pichel getting suplexed out of a conscious state.

UFC offers to pay for Mike Dolce's services to get Cyborg to 135


It's time to put up or shut up, Cris.

[Bun-Bun]

Did anybody see the Invicta FC event last night? Veronica Rothenhausler should seriously drop to 135 and eventually fight Sarah Kaufman. The girl can seriously crack.

UFC on FX 7 is tomorrow and it's on free TV. Bisping vs Belfort is the marquee fight. If Bisping wins, he gets a title shot at Anderson Silva.

I'm kind of dissapointed, being English, that Bisping lost. Oh well, nice kick from Belfort anyway.

MMA fighter & TNA Wrestling star King Mo was victorious in his first Bellator MMA fight on Thursday night on Spike TV, which aired after Impact. In the quarter finals of the Bellator Light Heavyweight tournament, Mo defeated Przemyslaw Mysiala via knockout in 3:52 of the first round.

Mo looked rusty early on after being out of the cage for a full year, but found his rhythm and delivered a one-punch knockout Mysiala to advance in the tournament.

During the post-fight interview, Mo said he didn't have much of a strategy going in and he just wanted to knock the guy out.

Mo will fight Emmanuel Newton next in the semi-finals on February 21st from Salt Lake City, Utah.

The highlights from that event are clearly



Backflip guard pass FTW. King Mo's match was a complete squash match.

Twas a good KO!

Don't forget, UFC on FOX 6 is tomorrow. Dodson vs Mighty Mouse. If Dodson doesn't land flush, he's going to get danced around for 5 rounds until the inevitable 50-45.
