thanks for posting that, it was really good. I like how all the wec guys have held their own, i'm glad they brought those guys in. i love anything Diaz related and have always liked Cerrone as well. I think he might be too fast for Nate and everyone has more power than either Diaz brother. Could be a FOTY candidate. I think Brock is gonna bullrush Overeem and take him down, if not, into the cage and then a takedown. Brock Smash, fight is over in about :45. At no point he will he ever try to trade a single strike. He doesn't have to set up takedowns either. He can throw him down or take him down out of the clinch or off the cage. Once Brock gets him down, Overeem better pray to Jeebus. (not brock love b.s., just what i see happening).

--Fabricio Werdum vs. Roy Nelson has been added to UFC 143 on 2/4 in Las Vegas. It's Werdum's return to UFC after several years after being cut after losing to Junior Dos Santos.

My God I hope you're right with the Brock fight.

As for Cerrone I remember digging him when he was in the WEC and now he seems to gaining huge momentum in the UFC. If he wins vs Diaz he might be in line for a title shot. Problem is if Ben Henderson wins though. Cerrone already lost twice to him and I can't see the UFC going for a 3rd fight. Cerrone is a different fighter now than he was before though. Who knows.

Classy as always..

Junie Browning, the former TUF bad boy and ratings draw is back in the news for
a situation in Thailand that led to a manhunt. What was awesome about this, is
Browning would post on Facebook while he was trying to avoid being captured
by police. Browning was fired by Dana White in October of 2009 after he took 16
anti-anxiety pills and at the time it was believed he was trying to “harm”
himself, was rushed to the hospital and attacked three nurses. Browning, 26,
who is 4-5, having lost his last four fights outside the UFC, allegedly beat up on
a women in a bar on 12/11 and attacked another woman who tried to intervene.

Four others, all tourists from Australia and the U.S. then tried to intervene and
in the fight, Browning and the other six all had to be taken to the hospital for
treatment, including a man who was 68 years old. While being treated at Patong
Hospital in Phuket, Thailand, the police said Browning started fighting with those
in the hospital, and then fled the hospital and police were looking for him and
informed authorities at the airport to watch out in case he tried to leave the
country.

Browning then stated on his Facebook page: “Wow, what a helluva
weekend? Some pussy named Sie Menzes and about 10 of his friend started a
fight with me, I guess just to test a `UFC fighter guy’ at his shitty little bar in
Karan, Thailand. Had a beer bottle and glass mug shattered on my head then to
make everything better, stabbed severely by some crazy Thai bitch. On a
positive note, I managed to break a few orbital bones, at least a couple of jaws
and some unconscious bodies laying on the ground before I blacked out from the
loss and blood and apparently had to be resuscitated in the ambulance. So how
was your weekend?”

Later he posted, “Apparently in the news they are saying
there were women involved. That is a 100% a crock of shit. The only woman
involved was a Thai woman friend of theirs that sliced my forearm open with a
six inch blade. At no point was any woman involved. Even at the hospital I was
nothing but polite to every member of their staff. Not until a little birdy told me
that the person that hit me with the mug was in the next room did I explode. I
immediately sprinted over there and knocked him unconscious with one blow.
Phuket law enforcement is very corrupt and apparently the guys that jumped me
know more people than I do. I have multiple stitches over my head and body.
You don’t have to be fucking Stephen Hawkins to realize a woman did not do this
to me.”

at the Diaz hate in this place yet all they do is win. Cerrone is a monster though and will probably win but i wouldnt be surprised on bit if Nate wins. Its gonna be a hell of a fight

They are idiots about it though. I mean look at what the older brother did with the whole calling GSP out like GSP was dodging him or something and then you have the younger brother getting pissed because Cerrone tried to shake his hand at some event? I mean come on, be an adult.

The Diaz brothers can really fight and I don't even mind their cockiness, but they gotta find a way to be classy at times.

Nice video here show Big Nog talking about breaking Frank Mir's arm before the fight

I had forgot he said that.

I love watching the Diaz brothers fight but Jesus they both annoy the shit out of me. Anyone associated with them I want to lose. The best submission I ever saw was Nate Diaz vs Kurt Pellegrino when Nate got the triangle choke in and was flipping off the crowd at the same time.

I was hoping GSP was going to be able to pick Nick Diaz apart. Now I have to settle for Donald Cerrone doing that to Nate.

There are reports, that due to a back injury, Kenny Florian may have to retire.

That would be ok. There really isn't any fights I want to see with Kenny involved. He has had enough title shots, so it's time for him to go away anyway.

UFC 145 got cancelled in Montreal because they wouldn't have a Championship Card, reading on Yahoo, they will go back later in the year.

Sonnen said today that he doesn't think he will ever fight Silva again, and that Silva may not ever fight again. He said that once he beats Bisping, he was wants to talk to Dana about fighting GSP or Bones Jones.

jones would ravage sonnen like a lion on a baby deer. There is absolutely no way chael would ever win a fight vs bones

Anyone that believes anything Sonnen says is crazy. He is playing his schtick and building drama.

Evans vs Jones April 21 at UFC 145 in Atlanta.

UFC is counting on their bad blood to sell this fight, as the rest of this card is really bad. They really don't have a fight on it worthy of co-main event status.

God forbid if Evans/Jones comes off that card they will be forced to show that shit on FX. Their is no real co-main event either.

Yea im pretty shocked that there isnt another big fight on the atl card but sometimes those are the cards that deliver a hell of a show

Keith Kizer said there is a positive drug test result from UFC 143. Didnt say who yet.

Diaz popped for weed again???

Roy Nelson and his incredible shrinking gut?

_________________

As expected, it was Diaz who failed the test for weed. Don't see how he can have big fights, if he can't handle the media without smoking.

_________________
Fuck Edwards and Zobrist

I dont see it as a big deal. Weed in no way enhances performance whatsoever

"You can kill the revolutionary, but you can't kill the revolution."

They say a fighter would be a danger to themselves rather than competitive advantage.

The only way this could have been better is if Diaz did win and then failed.

_________________

I agree. He never had this problem in Strikeforce because they didn't force him to do the media rounds. Let the guy fight, and if it's a fight worth seeing, it will sell itself.

_________________
Fuck Edwards and Zobrist

Well we all see how Strikeforce turned out.

UFC has a way of doing things. Nick has social anxiety and needs to get that under control before he returns in a year. While I like watching him fight, it's actually hard to watch him have to sit around and have to do interviews to promote a fight. Dana White has imposed this business model for every single fight he has had. These guys must be able to sell the fight otherwise they won't be in the top spots, regardless of how good they are.

Interesting interview on the MMA Hour today with Caesar Gracie. He said Nick was surprised he failed the drug test. Said that he went through they same process he has for the last few years to make sure he would pass the test. Says that Nick has gotten a lawyer and he thinks he will be back to fight whenever this stuff is over with. Also said that Condit didn't accept the rematch, until he heard Nick had failed the test.

After a poor performance over the Weekend by Rampage Jackson, with a loss and weight issues and Rich Franklin, Henderson, and Dana White calling him out over these things.

Dana White did say that Rampage will get another fight in the UFC.
