Upcoming MMA Cards....

[Evan]

yeah I do a horrible job of proof reading myself as well. I just type as I think and never re-read a word which half the time makes me look like an ass...

[Evan]

[Evan]

I am not as big of a Fedor fan as you but I am close.

But until he fights real fighters who are in the same ballpark as him, I am rooting for him to lose.

Starting......


now

[LEONARD]

Impossible...nobody is in the ballpark... :fro

[Evan]

[Evan]

do we know yet if M-1 will be ring or cage?

[LEONARD]

Pretty sure it's a ring...

[Evan]

UFC 82 in Ohio on March 1, 2008
**Mark Coleman to be inducted in Hall of Fame
-Jon Fitch vs Chris Wilson

Wilson is an IFL "veteran"...solid WW addition...tough matchup with Fitch for his UFC debut...
http://bloodyelbow.com/story/2008/1/22/16818/3892#readmore

[Evan]

WHOA!!!!!

Mark Coleman to be inducted in Hall of Fame

He's hanging them up?

[Evan]

Oh wait...old man in the booth maybe? Occasional 3rd guy?

[LEONARD]

who knows...he needs to hang em up...


elbows? knees?

I don't know that they ever came out with a set of rules...

[Evan]

who knows...he needs to hang em up...

Yeah. Last I read ofhim he was asking for a UFC contract.


I don't know that they ever came out with a set of rules...

M-1 said they would release rules right away. Oh well.

[LEONARD]

I know...and a roster... :bang

[Evan]

The Fedor rental service won't see Christmas...

If Fedor came to the UFC he would be a champ in 2 or 3 fights. :king

[dallaskd]

WHOA!!!!!

Mark Coleman to be inducted in Hall of Fame

He's hanging them up?

ufc?

[polandprzem]

In M-1 fedor fights himself. (nobody else is there)
And he is fighting without a rules.

Crazy mofo!!1


:dizzy

[Evan]

ufc?

He wanted in yes, I can't remember who he was publicly pushing to fight. I know he made noise about Randy but there was someone else.

[LEONARD]

ufc?

Yes...he was the HW champ...and the inventor of GnP as we know it today...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Coleman

[Evan]

ahh...I was thinking he was asking about him coming back to the UFC.

Coleman is a legend back from when win loss records didn't matter so much. The mindset was simply, "Bring it"

There is a bio movie about him and Mark Kerr called "The Smashing Machine" if anyone sees it on the shelves, grab it.

[LEONARD]

ahh...I was thinking he was asking about him coming back to the UFC.

I wasn't sure...I'm sure a lot of people don't know he was in the UFC long ago...

Smashing Machine

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xtbfj_mark-kerr-smashing-machine-p2_sport

I love the part where Kerr gets Bas to KO Ricco in practice because he had been partying too much... :lol

and of course the "Just Bleed" guy making an appearance... :lol

[Evan]

I need to see that again...wonder if my perspective has changed much in 2 years.

Now Kerr's wife, who Bas hated, has left him since that movie right?

[LEONARD]

Not sure...

-Vladimir Matyushenko vs Jamal Patterson (LHW Title)
-Jay Hieron vs Mark Miller (WW Title)
-Wagnney Fabiano vs Shad Lierley (FW Title)

[Evan]

Clay Guida ...I would like him to be a UFCFN headliner as much as possible. Not sure at his current level he will ever be a belt holder but the SOB brings it ever second he is in the octagon. He could lose his next 6 fights and it wouldn't change my opinion of him.

Maybe the guy just needs a new camp. He is training at hellhouse and I think thast the place Bonnar used to train at, meh.

Maybe he needs to head over and see what Greg Jackson is up to.

[Evan]

gonna be good

Jay Hieron vs Mark Miller (WW Title)

[dallaskd]

Yes...he was the HW champ...and the inventor of GnP as we know it today...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Coleman

yeah i know he was the first champ when he beat Severn. what i was asking was if he was inducted to the UFC hall of fame, because i havnt heard anything and they havnt said anything on TV or on the website.

Wow. At least Aleksander isn't a p***y :fro

I don't get that.

[Evan]

All hail M-1, the Fedor rental agency!

Just bring him back with a full tank and don't drive him anywhere off road and keep him under 40mph!

[Evan]

And the thing is…with one warm up fight in the UFC he has a good chance to beat anyone…just sucks seeing such elite talent waste away…like boxing…that’s all this is…boxing agenda.

But he has given us some amazing fights…he will PROBABLY retire in a handful of years without being punch drunk and he will be very wealthy. Good for him. He owes us nothing.

Eh…I'm over him now.

How bout that kid GSP!?

[oligarchy]

BOO to the edit. I like the original post better.

BOO to the edit. I like the original post better.

Yeah but I am just repeating myself on crap I already said so I took it out. :spin

Cro Cop
Randy
Fedor
Arlovski
Dana
Gary Shaw
Kurt Otto
Josh Gross

Eff all of ya…lol

[dallaskd]

why josh gross?? lol

[Evan]

why josh gross?? lol

Because he is a hypocritical douchbag who has an agenda. The biased dill.

Thankfully he is largely ignored now whereas 2 years ago he was revered as the patron saint of MMA media.

I don't mind if you hate Dana White (After all Sam Caplan is my favorite member of the MMA media) but don't go all anti organization because of it.
:spin

Oh an my "eff ya" post was mainly me kidding around. I was on a long phone call at work and got put on hold with some nasty music. Some sort of electronic jazz... :smokin

[Evan]

UFC Fight Night 13 rounding out...wow...just wow..

Now way is this the order but...Clay should be the swing bout and I think we will get 5 fights because 2 of the top 4 will be fast.

* Kenny Florian vs. Joe Lauzon -Confirmed
* Stephan Bonnar vs. Matt Hamill - Confirmed
* Spencer Fisher vs. Marcus Aurelio
* Karo Parisyan vs. Thiago Alves
* Din Thomas vs. Josh Neer
* Tommy Speer vs. Anthony Johnson

[LEONARD]

Genius move having Josh fight Aleks...sets up Fedor defending his brother's honor after Josh subs him in the 1st round... :fro

Or sets up Fedor vs Aleks if Aleks pulls it off?? :lol

[Evan]

Cage Rago 25 to show on showtime on March 8th. If you haven't ever seen a Cage Rage show you have to check it out. Crazy British production and the winner gets a beer. Its kinda like a cheesy Euro rave with fights. I hope the new owners (pro elite) don't change much.

Imanari is the weirdest MMA fighter ever...basically just goes for leglocks the whole fight. He's the guy that wrecked Gurgel's knee before he was on TUF...

[Evan]

so thats a title contender eh?

Probably not...I think Krazy Horse was supposed to fight, but he's back in jail...

jeez - how many shamrocks are there in MMA?

I saw one fight of our best fighter "Juras" he fought in a turnament Russia vs Europe. And he was pathetic ...

I saw champion vs champion lately. Whole bunch of good fights :tu
I will burn some mma cd's in near future

PRIDE was a wonderful show... :toast

I have always leaned towards UFC since that was the first organization that got me into MMA but I dearly miss PRIDE and all of its beautiful chaos.

[Evan]

Gary Turner gets screwed.

Gary Shaw is a scum bag.

http://www.sherdog.net/forums/showthread.php?t=717180&highlight=smiley

[oligarchy]

Wow. Turner seems like a well-spoken guy, but he is jaded in his thoughts that "(Shaw's) team" dont follow his views. There is no way Shaw doesn't know about what's going on. There is absolutely no possibility that Shaw doesn't know. Should I state that another way? He has been very closely vested to all the shows and then to not know about it? Come on.

[Evan]

Yeah its a pretty crazy situation right there.

I understand getting dropped afrom a card, that happens. Regardless EliteXC should have never ever listed him without the ink on the paper. As soon as you're listed on the site you're as good as legal I would think. Bad move on their part to send out a press release without contacting him first. Then to not return his phone calls/emails? Hopefully he is compensated for his training at the least.

All of those pages of me ranting on Fedor are because of things like this. Boxing style of business has no place in MMA. And in case anyone doesn't know, Gary Shaw is a boxing promotor.

[oligarchy]

Fight Night 13
Houtson Alexander v. James Irvin

That will never hit the ground unless Irvin fakes an illegal hit. :)

There is no specific style polish follow.

We had realy good boxers but about 50years ago.

We had great wrestlers but about 10-15 years ago.

You know Nastula? Yup we had real good Judo fighters as well.

Now it's all gone. Nobody in sight.


In boxing there is Adamek and nobody else. Well Golota but you know :rolleyes.

[Evan]

Well Golota but you know :rolleyes.

What a dissapointment he was. All he had to do was stop the "low blows"


And as far as Poland having no premier big names right now, thats part of the beauty of MMA. You just need to find someone who is good at a lot of things and not perfect at one. So you never know when someone will pop up.

Golota always had a 'hot head'.
low blows only occured vs Bowe and then they made it his rutine. He fought real good against Byrd. But now he is finished. I do not know why Don King still gives him chances ???

btw we had Michalczewski -the greatest polish boxer.


hmm I saw one fight of Houston Alexander, he is fighting with a vengeance. Guy does not play the games, just 'going for it'. Still - other names doesn't tells me anything ...

* Brett Roges vs. James Thompson (lets hope he knows what a gameplan is now)

Where is Nick Diaz BTW?

[Evan]

SI.com: So what's next for you? Have you been told your next opponent?

Liddell: Possibly Mauricia "Shogun" Hua. That's what they're saying. If it's the June fight, it will probably be in London. But my trainer is trying to get it moved to Vegas. Too far. (Liddell is based in San Luis Obispo, Calif.)

***************************************

Look how they spelled his name!!!!!

[LEONARD]

Diaz is having surgery on his brow to remove scar tissue, and to grind down the bones so he's less susceptible to cuts...

The latest listings (ufc.com and mmaweekly.com) have Sammy Schiavo vs. Clay Guida as an undercard for the April Fight Night. Clay Guida on the undercard? Seriously, I find that a bit outrageous.

I think it's part of their campaign to motivate people on forums to hound spike TV to make the cards 3 hours. Dana White says he wants to do it but it's all up to SpikeTV.

[desflood]

Oh, that's interesting. I hadn't thought of that before. Well hell, maybe I'll fall into the trap and hound Spike along with the rest of the herd :lol

Now keep in mind I am assuming that is the exact reason.

Even though Zuffa will never admit it they know what goes on in forums and they know everyone loves them some Clay Guida so I find it quite a coincidence that he gets put on an undercard for the same fight he mentions he would like to change how Spike does fights.

[LEONARD]

Not just Guida...

-Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard
-Marcus Aurelio vs. Spencer Fisher
-Din Thomas vs. Josh Neer
-Clay Guida vs. Samy Schiavo

Any of those are worthy of a main card slot on a UFN...definitely not an undercard!! I don't get that card...it's like it ended up with way too much on it for some reason. I'm not complaining :lol I do hope it ends up being 3 hrs. Regardless, I'll be downloading every fight that doesn't air the next day so whatever...

[oligarchy]

If you guys haven't already, please ensure that you email SpikeTV to move the UFN 13 card to a 3 hour block. Follow the link for a basic email template

[Evan]

I don't know why Spike doesn't just go ahead and show every fight of every card. Their programming sucks. Most of it is garbage B-level TV programming that is 5+ years old. It's a freaking re-run channel.

If I was them I would do everything I could do show as much UFC as possible. That's how channels get started…they saturate their most vocal audience with what they want.

That's what my husband said when I told him about this: "It should be three hours. Who the hell wants to watch CSI reruns from 2004?"

[Evan]

Considering they paid the UFC roughly 100 million for TV rights they should squeeze every minute of live UFC airtime as possible.

Hey you still running with U-Verse?

I finally got my refund check this week but I still have all of their equipment because they can't seem to send me a box in the mail to return it. Countless phone calls. I have given up.

From GracieFighter.com:

Nathan Daz has been added to the April 2nd, UFC Fight Night card. Diaz has submitted every opponent he has faced in the Octagon and is looking to continue his winning streak. He will be facing tough competition and we hope to announce his opponent in the next couple of days.

[Evan]

I would pay for this card. A lot of these guys could be contenders in 09 for titles.

[desflood]

From mmajunkie:

UFC Fight Night 13 will be a three-hour broadcast on Spike TV, after all.

The UFC has made no official announcement, and Spike TV could not confirm the news, but a source close to the event exclusively told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that April 2’s UFC Fight Night 13 event will, in fact, run three hours.

The event takes place at the Broomfield Event Center near Denver, Colo., and features what is perhaps the most talent-rich fight card in Spike TV history. Kenny Florian and Joe Lauzon meet in the night’s main event, while fan favorites such as Clay Guida, Matt Hamill, Karo Parisyan, Frankie Edgar and Houston Alexander fill out the undercard.

The MMA fanbase recently kicked off a letter-writing campaign to Spike TV executives asking that the broadcast run three hours rather than the usual two. UFC President Dana White recently stated that the decision was Spike TV’s — and Spike TV’s alone — to make, which prompted a campaign fueled by MMA blogs and message boards.

UFC Fight Night 13 will serve as a lead-in for “The Ultimate Fighter 7,” the latest installment of the UFC and Spike TV’s hit reality series. The seventh season of the show, which will feature 32 UFC middleweight hopefuls, includes UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson and the original winner of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Forrest Griffin, as coaches.

Spike TV will likely announced news of the three-hour broadcast, as well as an updated televised card, this week, we’re told. With the late switch of Tim Boetsch for Stephan Bonnar, and the inclusion of additional televised bouts, the official card released by the UFC last week is expected to change.

[LEONARD]

Fuck yea :fro

so it'll truly be 2 hrs after cutting out all the commercials... :D

I know...crazy stuff...12 fights??

I'm interested in all 12 too...I'll be downloading like a mofo the next day to get all the un-aired fights....

[Evan]

I think they will be quick launching a DVD of the fights. Maybe something else...there must be a reason they keep packing this card.

[LEONARD]

I think they will be quick launching a DVD of the fights. Maybe something else...there must be a reason they keep packing this card.

I don't get the quantity of fights...why not just have 8 or 9 and try to squeeze most of them into 3 hrs?

I think the quality is related to the big push for TUF 7 since the fight night leads into it...

[Evan]

You know…I think you're right…simple as that.

Quantity gives them high chances of airing some awesome unaired fights. If you have 3 fights chances are 1 will be awesome (ya hear that boxing?) so they have a few shots at filling some gaps with some incredible fights.

And by the way....you do not have to have a HD TV to have HD net.

[oligarchy]

I have HD and HDNet, but I don't have Versus.

[Evan]

I could live without Versus. HDNet is going to be the home for everything MMA besides UFC, WEC and EliteXC.

So it's all lower tier MMA but they will still have some good fights. Sort of the NCAA of MMA channel.

UFC 84

Much better match-up.

[LEONARD]

and Marcus Davis vs Mike Swick at UFC 85

[Evan]

Good test.

On another note...I am officially out of the buying the UFC PPV business. It's too unaffordable unless I can split them. I think I am splitting this Saturday's with someone thankfully.

My f-ing cable bill was $202 this month.

--- And chances are I am full of sh-t and will buy the first PPV that comes my way solo.

[LEONARD]

you'll buckle... :lol

If I'm home by myself I just stream them...otherwise I'm usually splitting them somewhere.

[Evan]

you'll buckle... :lol

I know it...I can't help myself.

I will convince myself every PPV that I am not spending the money and by 8:59pm I am am always frantically going through the menu's to order.

Just can't justify a $200 cable bill....

But that includes internet so I guess it's really $150...but still.... :pctoss

Fedor's team might even allow him equal rules...unlike Choi :music

Honestly it shouldn't even be a debate. Fedor should in all likelyhood under any rules demolish him but Fedor is an easy target right now.

No reason for special rules when the weights are the same (at least in the same division)...I'd consider special rules, which are typical for fights in Japan, if I was outweighed by 140 lbs too...


hahaha....did you have to use that picture?....hahahahahahahaha

Somebody needs to tell Roy that the half-assed spinning roundhouse celebration after his fights doesn't make him look any less athletic than he already is...

[Evan]

I think Sam worded his post oddly by the way…

I don't think he meant to imply he is a good match-up..simply the most realistic one in awhile.

At least I hope that's what he meant….

[LEONARD]

Does he really think that Roy F'n Nelson is more worthy than Rizzo, Monson, or Rothwell?? Nelson is 4th on that list for me...easily...

[Evan]

Does he really think that Roy F'n Nelson is more worthy than Rizzo, Monson, or Rothwell?? Nelson is 4th on that list for me...easily...

No I think he is only taking into account his last fights in comparison to Nelson.

At least that is how I am taking it so I agree with him but judging by the comments by you and people on that post I seem to be the only one who took it that way.

He needs to clarify himself apparantly.

And just to be clear...

When you take into account his recent fight history of bizarre match-ups...Nelson is the best one.Now with that in mind, I think Fedor would destroy him. It would not get to the second round.

But effing hell…this shouldn't even be a debate. He shouldn't even be in this position.

[LEONARD]

Choi would beat Nelson...without knees...

[Evan]

Choi would beat Nelson...without knees...

AHHHHHHHHH HAH!

So you admit Nelson would beat Fedor? :lol

[LEONARD]

You lost me there...

I'm saying you put Nelson in that ring where Fedor fought Choi and he loses...what's he going to do with Choi on top of him?

Filho is off the WEC card (title fight with Sonnen) due to depression? (maybe that’s just a translation thing and he meant something else)
http://www.sherdog.net/forums/showthread.php?t=742654

Nissen Osterneck vs Sonnen maybe??

[Evan]

I guess that translates to partying too hard and tossing his life away. Remember how he looked last fight….

Didn't some PRIDE execs have some weird comments about him a few years ago why he wasn't on the big PRIDE cards. (ultra vague comment on my part…hah)

[Evan]

Shogun shreds his knee again and will no longer be fighting Chuck. So it looks like Chuck will now face Rashad.

This guy did a nice little summary on what's going on with Shogun's knee and what happens when an athlete has such an injury.

http://mmadiehard.blogspot.com/2008/03/ruptured-acl-is-major-setback-for.html

short and sweet..

I hope Shogun doesn't even think about fighting until late 09. Just hang it up for a time.

[LEONARD]

I still can't figure out the physical difference between a rupture and a tear...

I've blown my left ACL twice, but neither time did it actually tear. It came loose from the bone instead. Maybe that's a rupture? Don't know...

Given today's medicine, he can be back at full strength if he handles it the right way.

Yeah I believe that's the case and that's the point where it's possible to get a cadaver's inplanted in you...or an ACL graft I think it's called...when it completely tears away.

-Jason Tan vs. Dong Hyun Kim
*****************************

No worries dallaskd, sokoudjou will make it onto the TV card.

Can't wait to see what Kim has...

[dallaskd]

Thats a good matchup for Sokoudjou. Nakamura is a good fighter and has fought top guys but he has been crap lately. They both looked bad vs Machida but both were making UFC debuts and Nakamura was high going into the fight so it should be intresting. i see Soku with the KO or maybe use his judo to get this to the ground and do some GnP. Or that fight has all the makings to be a boring decision.

[Evan]

Thats a good matchup for Sokoudjou.

I think his career will go fine.

He is so young and by all accounts and awesome teacher. His hype got a little premature. I see no reason why he won't hold a belt one day in the UFC.

[dbreiden83080]

Cro Cop came into the UFC with an ultra egotistcal attitude that he was going to walk thru the UFC and retire with the belt in short order.

Now he is fighting Fedor level of competition…

Yeah…

My HW hero…

What a dissapointment... :hang

Sigh….

I think what hurt him right off the bat was he refused to train in the cage. He did not think all those years of fighting in rings with ropes would make any difference. Then after the loss to Gonzaga he started training with a cage but by then i think his confidence was shaken. I still say though that the UFC made a mistake letting him go. He is too talented and still young for them to feel he is all washed up.

[Evan]

Yeash it's a confusing thing…

Supposedly he is coming back when he gets his sh-t back together. The UFC has yet to release a press realease on it so I think he wasn't let go. Just allowed to cross promote for awhile. Contrary to popular belief the UFC does allow people to cross promote, just not if you're a big name on his way up. Small time guys and wash outs get to go do whatever.

I think the moment he gets it together and Dream lines him up for a big time main event I bet he gets yanked right back.

Kaitlin Young??

I am a fan of Gina (and so are my pants) but I am not sure if she is a real fighter or an mma exhibitionist.

[Evan]

Looks like Kimbo vs. James Thompson at May 31 EliteXC for their CBS debut.

This is about the right level of talent Kimbo needs to be facing but its a sad state of affairs that this is a headline fight. This should be a first TV event type fight...nowhere near a headliner.

James will rush him...Kimbo will absorb him and begin launching fists.
Fight over.

Poor JT just can't take a punch...

Perfect fight for the masses to see. They don't wanna see a fat guy against Kimbo...muscles = baddass fighter!! They'd scoff at Paul Buentello, but will think JT has a chance...

Former UFC middleweight champion Evan Tanner will attempt to bounce back from a recent loss to Yushin Okami last month when he takes on Kendall Grove at the The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale on June 21st.

Sources close to the fight have confirmed to MMA on Tap that bout agreements have been signed. It’s unknown at this time whether or not the fight will be televised or serve as one of the event’s preliminary bouts.

[Evan]

bout he should have had the first time...

But I understand why the UFC made it what it was.

[LEONARD]

I like that matchup for Evan...

[Evan]

I think if Grove loses he will be shown the door

[cornbread]

Tanner will smash Kendall in the same fashion that he ended Dave Terrell's career.

"Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell has been taken off of the card for UFC 85 scheduled to take place in London on June 7, MMARated.com is reporting."

Damn

[LEONARD]

Fuck!!!

They'll be scrambling for a main event...

[oligarchy]

it was a shitty main event anyway. i'm sure it won't be replaced by anything good. a non-buy for me most likely (make it free..)

But I agree...didn't do much for me.

It will be on spike for free I guarantee it.

The UFC has added Jeremy Horn and Dean Lister to the TUF 7 Finale card on June 21st that will be live on Spike TV.

The card that features a main event of Evan Tanner Vs Kendall Grove in Middleweight action, is shaping up to be a very good card.

As it stands right now the official matches announced for the card are:

Evan Tanner vs. Kendall Grove
Diego Sanchez vs. Luigi Fioravanti
Ultimate Fighter Middleweight Tournament Finals
Josh Burkman vs. Dustin Hazelett
Spencer Fisher vs. Jeremy Stephens
Marvin Eastman vs. Drew McFedries
Dean Lister vs. Jeremy Horn

Josh Burkman vs. Dustin Hazelett

Tough fight to call. a must win for burkman. hazelett looked good vs kos.

85 back on PPV with Nog vs Mir as the headliner??

[Evan]

Nog by any method he choses.

Nog may hold the HW belt for a long time. He says he makes 3x more in the UFC than he did PRIDE so he isn't going anywhere for years.

[Evan]

And Dana said he offered Randy Nog and Mir so I guess he declined...

part of me hoped...

[Evan]

MMA-ID (www.mma-id.com), proud sponsor of Mirko Cro Cop, has learned in the last few hours that Cro Cop will be facing dynamic heavyweight striker Jerome LeBanner. The bout is scheduled to take place at DREAMS 4 on June 16 in Saitama, Tokyo. LeBanner is 3-1-1 in mixed martial arts, last competing in 2006.

Hughes vs Alves as the headliner...

[cornbread]

Nog all the way.

[Smokeybearme]

so guys whats up

[tlongII]

Nog by any method he choses.

Nog may hold the HW belt for a long time. He says he makes 3x more in the UFC than he did PRIDE so he isn't going anywhere for years.

I don't think so. He takes too much punishment. That's going to catch up with him pretty soon.

Hughes vs Alves as the headliner...

Alves is going to crack Hughes's jaw. I really wish they would let him beat up on Serra.

"The UFC has announced that the June 7th UFC 86 card from London, England will now be a free TV event with Chuck Liddell pulling out from the card. The new main event sees Light Heavyweights Rashad Evans and James Irvin collide. This is the smartest move possible by the company as this show would have been lost on PPV being sandwiched between the May 24th card and the July 5th event with Quinton Jackson Vs Forrest Griffin. Do you realize this means there will be 4 UFC shows in a span of 6-weeks with UFC 84, 85, 86 and a TUF 7 finale?"

[LEONARD]

I don't think so. He takes too much punishment. That's going to catch up with him pretty soon.

People have been saying that for years...

He's nowhere near what he was 3-4 yrs ago, but he's good enough for the UFC HW division right now...

After days of confusion and frustration, it appears that Nick Diaz (Pictures) will be fighting Sunday in Japan after all.

"It was off, then on, then off again … now it's back on," said Diaz's trainer, Cesar Gracie (Pictures). "I won't really believe it until he is on the plane tomorrow morning heading to Japan" ...

SI.com learned Tuesday that the leading candidate to face the gangly wrestler is Brazilian middleweight Fabio Negao, owner of an 8-3 record. Splitting his last six bouts, Negao is coming off a loss in December to Rousimar Palhares, as well as two other defeats by Demian Maia (choke) and Ray Lazama (KO). South African middleweight Trevor Prangley had been discussed as a potential Lindland foe, but Affliction’s decision to pit Lindland against Negao appears close to final.

Mirko suffers an injury....

Mirko Cro Cop recently released a statement stating that he has suffered a minor leg injury forcing him to postpone his June 14th fight with Jerome LeBanner. The fight will now happen on July 20th. Below is the statement released by Cro Cop:

"Yes, I'm going to fight on July 20. I was looking forward to appearing on the DREAM 4 card on June 15 and I based my preparations on that. I suffered a minor leg injury last week, but it doesn't affect my trainings. During a wrestling session, I slipped and felt pain in my left knee, but the medical exams have confirmed that no damage was done. I'm wearing a special bandage just as a precaution."

[LEONARD]

if it doesn't affect his training then what's the problem???

Glad Nick is back on the card...maybe...lol

[Evan]

if it doesn't affect his training then what's the problem???

Mirko seems to be a very odd fella. Since I have started following his career I have summed up some things about him.

-He doesn't like competing too much
-He obsessively loves to train. If he could get paid to train and not fight that’s what he would do.
-He is a manic depressive
-He fiercely loves his country
-He always thinks about retiring
-He loves Jean-Claude Van Damme

[Evan]

AA vs Ben Rothwell at Affliction in California, not Dallas dammit...is a go.

This payroll will be insane...I am assuming they know they will lose millions on the card so my guess is they have a 2 or 3 fight strategy...but wow...how can they afford that first card payroll that will be between 6 and 7 million...plus other expenses?!?!?
