		UNDERTAKER WINS USING MMA MOVE Why is this big news?  Because Wrestlemania is only THE biggest wrestling event of the year and they decided to script an MMA move into the show for the winner of the event!  Here is an article from Five Ounces Of Pain about the the damn move. The name of the move is "Gogoplata aka Shin Choke" and it's a lot of fun to pull of if you grapple.  Want to learn how to do it?  Watch below....

		MMA FOR KIDS....LOL Here is Dana White doing his best to win over new fans for OUR sport.  I think I need to change my Blog to simply provide info about all the 5hit that Dana causes but I would have too much to report on. Check out the video here...

		PRIDE FC - HAS BEEN GONE FOR ONE YEAR :( Most people simply think the UFC purchased Pride and closed office but are unaware of all the scandal surrounding Pride which resulted in people going to jail, illegal crime and finally the tap-out to UFC.  PrideFC is by far one of the biggest reasons I became a bigger fan of MMA. Hats off to FightOpinion for posting a great article about the one year anniversary of the death of Pride and the birth of a new organization that mimics the "Dream"

		COOL HIGHLIGHT FLASH VIDS FROM FIGHTREPORT I've spoken to a few people that had no idea EliteXC / StrikeForce was on Showtime and the Fight Network FOR FREE!  As a result, I'm going to add a small section to the site to help you people catch events like this! Check out the highlights here

		MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT FEDOR COMING THIS WEEK As per FightHype's article, it looks like Fedor might be signing with EliteXC.  Doing so will likely land him on the CBS show which would definitely make Dana White cry for being such a greedy a$$hole.  This is the beginning of the end D.

		RAMPAGE TRYING TO CORRECT WHAT HE SAID He's clearly pissed off a bunch of people including his own fans.  Now he's trying to give explanations....we all like the fun and games bud, just not when you trash talk people that have ALREADY kicked your a$$ TWICE!  What's really funny is that he goes on to say that he just meant the Wanderli Silva only fights "CHUMPS".....forgetting that he was one of the chumps that was taken out TWICE by Silva...lol I'm still a fan though because Quinton comes from PrideFC. Article here and more info regarding comments on Forrest here

		I THINK I SEE HOPE WITH ADRENALINE MMA Formerly known as M-1 Global, Adrenaline is the result of a bunch of shit going wrong and two organizations splitting.  Why should you be interested?  Well, Adrenaline seems to be the only organization that will allow it's fighters to fight in other organizations.  This is exactly what we need as MMA fans to find out who is the best of the best of the best...of the best... OF THE BEST!  Get my point? Anyway, I hope they do well....here is a quick article about Jeff Monson vs. Russow being signed to the June14th Adrenaline MMA debut Here is Tim Sylvia talking about his departure from the UFC and joining forces with Adrenaline.

		KIMBOS NEXT OPPONENT - I HOPE THIS IS NOT TRUE Ok, so we were all excited to see Kimbo put on some gloves and take out some entrance fights.  I mean, I'm all for the "warm-up" type fights for big names, which is something that did not happen for most Pride Fighters when they came to the UFC, but James Thompson wont do anything to further Kimbo's career.  Could it be that this was done  because the show is on CBS and they want Kimbo to take out a huge crazy looking guy for all the new fans?  Let's get Kimbo in there against a better fighter and see how well he does.  It's time he got tested. Check out the article here

		SHOGUN GETTING BETTER AFTER KNEE SURGERY I think too many people quickly dismissed him after his poor performance against Forrest Griffin.  I think he might have had cold feet in the cage and maybe didn't train as well as he should have.  This guy was amazing in PrideFC and will be amazing again.  I'm going to point at all of you when you jump on the band wagon and become Shogun stars one day. Get better Shogun! More info here

		TITO ORTIZ COMING OUT WITH NEW MMA REALITY SHOW I don't like it. I think this show is going to have a negative impact on the sport by making it less professional and taking away from the actual time fighters need to train to be at the top level. The show is called "Beatdown" and will bring avg Joe's to the cage to settle disputes by fighting. They will be trained by MMA fighters for one week. I think the show should be called "Degenerates" Here is a quick article about the damn thing.   Here is Tito on Dana White and a bunch of other stuff along with Jenna.. ">Tito

		KUNG LE BREAKS SHAMROCKS ARM WITH CRAZY KICKS I knew there was a reason I was excited about this fight and it was well worth the wait. I had my money on Kung Le and he came through. I really wish that Frank could have taken him down to test his ground game because we have yet to see it. As much as I dislike Frank I take my hat off to him for putting on an awesome show last night and he did keep his word about standing toe-to-toe with LE. Frank also surprised me with his tough chin. He took a good 15 blows that didn't KO him. I wonder had he not broken his hand if the fight would have gone to the cards, in which case Le would have still won. Enjoy the fight below! I'm also a big fan of Gilbert Meledez and he rocked his fight. I became a fan after watching his last fight (I think it was HDNET) where he actually lost but won my respect due to his stamina. I think this guys nick name should be the Energizer because he really does keep going... The event was live on Showtime and The Fight Network. . "425" height="355">

		BAS VS. FRANK SHAMROCK - BAS DOING COMMENTARY This is a long fight but there are about 8 great parts such as BAS' hitting Shamrock in the head while Shamrock makes faces at him, along with the wrist uppercut and a crazy knee.

Read his quote about fighting the best to be the best here Here is NOG taking care of the a real monster..Bob Sapp I miss PrideFC so much :(

		QUINTON JACKSON - "FOREST HAS A GLASS JAW AND PUNCHES LIKE A CRACKHEAD" This one actually sounds worse on paper then in the video.  I think Quinton just doesn't have a large vocab and so crackhead was the first thing that came to mind.  I did like seeing Forest get munched by Jardine. Have a look at the video here   His comments about Wand Silva yesterday are different...

		Diaz taking the California State Athletic Commission to court!    Not sure what I think about this.  I think Diaz loves to smoke weed and the ADD / medicinal thing is an excuse.  However, it has been prescribed to him as medicinal and there is no reason for the Athletic commission to be acting like retards…especially a few days before the fight?!?  What is it with these sports “commissions”?  Maybe the Ontario commissioner should be made aware!! Oh wait, that jerk hasn't’t even sanctioned MMA in Ontario yet, but that’s another crappy story.  MMAWEEKLY has details on the DIAZ issue here: Unrelated info on Diaz here.  I think I’m becoming an even bigger fan of the guy just because he’s talented and cant catch a break lately. Go DIAZ!

		ROY JONES JR. VS SILVA IN THE WORKS Ok at first I was like "nah, Silva just making crazy comments, that would never happen".  After reading this article at UFCDaily I'm starting to get excited about a potential fight. The bad part is, if this is a boxing match I think Silva will get KTFO

		MATT SERRA TALKS GSP I can't wait to go to Montreal to watch this fight on April 19th.  I think GSP is going to kick a$$ but for the first time I kinda see it from Serra's point of view and I agree with him.  He aimed and hit his target, how is that luck?
