Quentin “Rampage” Jackson vs. Rashad Evans – This will be a good fight, all the trash-talking ends here. Although, Evans is a great athlete, I don’t think he has what it takes to beat Rampage. Evans’ strongest suit is his wrestling skills, but Rampage can sprawl like the best wrestlers out there. So, Evans will have to fight standing. Unlike most wrestlers, Evans has the KO power to finish fights, as we’ve seen in his fight against Liddell. But, Rampage’s boxing is top-notch; he can defend any combinations coming towards him. Rampage will keep this fight standing, and win by out-striking …

Arianny Celeste is the hot UFC “Octagon Girl.” This is what she had to say about nerds on the May issue of Maxim magazine. I think I just wet myself.

Maxim: So you’re into guys who are super macho?

Arianny: Not at all. People always ask me if my boyfriend has to have a six-pack. Look, I’m around that all the time with the fighters. A six-pack is fine, but I don’t really care about physical appearance. I like computer nerds and a guy who can make me laugh. Kind of the silent killer type. Someone who doesn’t need to be

Strikeforce: Rogers vs. Overeem Predictions

Our predictions here.

Rampage vs. Rashad Countdown Gets Highest Ratings

As in, the highest rated Countdown show so far. What does this mean? This PPV will sell very well. I am excited for this fight as the build-up started over a year ago when Rampage defeated Rashad’s teammate, Keith Jardine; the trash talking spilled over into the show, Ultimate Fighter, and will be settled on May 29th for UFC 114.

Here’s Part 1

May 15th on Showtime, 10pm

Alistair Overeem vs. Brett Rogers (HW Title Fight) – This should be an entertaining match-up between the two Heavyweight sluggers. Overeem is bigger and more powerful than he was when he won the belt two years ago. Rogers has been on a winning streak until Fedor Emelianenko KOd him on his last outing. Overeem is more experienced, but Rogers has what it takes to beat Overeem. Overeem has been KOd before but his greatest challenge will be his cardio. Rogers has the heavier hands. Rogers will land a heavy blow, and finish Overeem in …

MMA Fighters Bullied as Kids

Looking at these guys now, one would never think that they were being harrassed as kids.
“I had teachers that couldn’t stand me because I couldn’t celebrate the holidays,” Quarry says. “I couldn’t compete in athletics and I couldn’t go to birthday parties. I really stood out. I had one teacher that hated me, and he had a son in my year that would torture me and make fun of me. …

Saturday, May 8th, 7p PT

Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua – This will be an interesting match-up as a rematch. This will be a good fight for Shogun; however, I see this fight ending the same way. But this time, Machida will win more decisively. I still see Shogun being aggressive, and Machida countering with better results.
Machida by UD

Josh Koscheck vs. Paul Daley – This will be a hard fight for Koscheck; Daley is on a 4-fight winning streak with a TKO over Martin Kampmann. But, Koshceck will win via wrestling takedowns. Koscheck will take this fight to …

Strikeforce has confirmed that Robbie Lawler will face former UFC fighter, Renato “Babalu” Sobral for the June 16th card in L.A.

Renato “Babalu” Sobral

Strikeforce’s original plan was to pit Robbie Lawler against Jason “Mayhem” Miller, but that plan is out the door after the mini-scuffle that ensued after the Henderson/Shields match. Miller got inside the cage and demanded a rematch from Shields. Shields and his team charged at Miller, and a short brawl ensued.

The Tennessee Athletic Commission is looking into the incident, and are thinking of suspending Miller. Coker (Strikeforce CEO) wants to respect the Commission’s decision, and not …
