Chuck Mindenhall, UFC - A lot less pressure. Thats what Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou says is the biggest difference between his upcoming UFC 84 fight with Kazuhiro Nakamura and his hyped UFC 79 debut bout with the more experienced Lyoto Machida.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - For much of his young life, Roger Huerta just wanted to be normal. He wanted to have two parents sitting around the dinner table at night, a white picket fence around a house with a yard, and the type of stability that could be dubbed by some as boring.His life was anything but stable though, and as reams of copy chronicled his harrowing upbringing while he rose up the UFC ranks as a lightweight prospect, Huerta soldiered through, - [Read more]

Ben Cohen, UFC - Assessing a fighters greatness can be the subject of much debate, especially after a crushing loss. When Chuck Liddell was knocked out by Quinton Jackson nearly a year ago, a number of questions arose as to whether Liddell was on the decline. Similarly, when Rich Franklin was hammered twice by Anderson Silva, Franklins claim to greatness was challenged by the media and fans. - [Read more]

Vanilla or Chocolate? Truly that seems to be the state of MMA right now. Personal preference seems to be dictating the results of sanctioned, mixed martial arts competition. - [Read more]

Dan Cramer, Team Rampage - Matt Brown and Jeremy May have been getting into it a little around the house. Jeremy apparently put lime juice in Matt Browns chewing tobacco. This seems to be a relatively harmless prank, but what people dont understand is that Matt and Jeremy really werent on a level where a prank like that was cool with Matt. - [Read more]

Hope you enjoy.LIDDELL FORCED OUT OF UFC 85Personally, I think Dana White did the right thing by pulling Chuck Liddell out of his scheduled June 7 fight because of a leg injury. - [Read more]

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - It was the biggest night of Georges St-Pierres life, and probably the most stressful. About to fight in front of over 21,000 countrymen at Montreals Bell Centre, the 26-year old was facing not only the man who beat him a year earlier, Matt Serra, but the high expectations of thousands of fans, as well as those of his family, friends, and himself. But before he was called to the Octagon, St-Pierre turned over the spotlight in his locker room, and suddenly he wasnt the most important person in the arena anymore. - [Read more]

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - No cuts on the face, check. No broken bones, check. Legs 100%, check. Rich Clementis ready to go. So what if he just went three hard rounds with one of the lightweight divisions young guns in Sam Stout at UFC 83 on April 19th? When the call came for him to replace injured Rob Emerson against Terry Etim on May 24th in Las Vegas, Clementi didnt hesitate to accept the bout, not when hes in the groove hes experiencing right now. - [Read more]

Michael The Count Bisping - Ive just got back home for the first time in five weeks and Im totally knackered, having not slept on the plane at all. You should see my house right now - dirty clothes everywhere! I put the kids presents at the bottom of my case and - of course - they couldnt wait so I emptied all my bags on the floor until they found their presents. - [Read more]

I read that Mike Dolce may have thought he was overtrained going into his fight. My bad on that. The thing about Mike Dolce being overtrained is that a lot of those guys came into the show training real hard because they were cast months in advance, and my dumb ass was not aware of that. My whole theory is to not to overtrain guys, just to have them do enough to be ready to fight. Mike Dolce said that he was at his breaking point, but I did not catch it or understand what he was talking about, so we kept pushing him. Had he been more specific or explicit in not wanting to go any further, I would have let up a lot. I made a lot of mistakes with him because I didnt have enough time to get to know him and what hed respond to in training. I blame myself for that loss. Mike, if you readin this, Im sorry man - [Read more]

Jesse fought hard and was an ox in the cage, especially in his comfort zone - on the mat. I should have been able to execute my game plan better, but could not, and paid for that. The opportunity gave me a great reference to pull from in the days and weeks to come in an effort to put myself back into contention, which was my only thought from the second Herb Dean woke me up on the floor of the octagon. - [Read more]
