It was seven bucks at the local sports bar last time.
I'm stunned.Anthony Johnson’s appeal to the Nevada State Athletic Commission of a controversial July 19th TKO loss to Kevin Burns due to an eye poke at UFC Fight Night 14 has been denied.
"Based on advice from the Nevada Attorney General’s office, the appeal was rejected due to lack of remedy," [NSAC Executive Director Keith] Kizer revealed to MMAFrenzy.com.
"Lack of remedy"? That's terrible.
No Contest
There's your damn remedy....at least give the kid that. No financial impact...no fines or penalties....no suspensions.
I still don't blame Maz since he was on the other side and couldn't see the poke and it was a reasonable assumption that he was KO'd since he went down like a KO so I fully blame NSAC for this.
Bull .
I wondered why Melvin was pulled from that upcoming card...
Guillard Arrested on Drug Probation Violation
Monday, September 15, 2008

UFC lightweight contender Melvin Guillard was arrested Aug. 13 in Houston for violating probation on a 2007 drug charge, a Harris County deputy told Sherdog.com.
The 25-year-old New Orleans native is in custody at the Harris County jail in Houston, the deputy said last Thursday, and will be released to a drug treatment facility as soon as space becomes available per the terms of his recently amended probation.
Details of the violation were not readily available.
Guillard (21-7-2) was quietly pulled last week from a scheduled bout with Spencer Fisher at UFC 90 on Oct. 25 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill. Fisher will now face southern California standout Shannon Gugerty (11-2).
Guillard, who is 4-3 inside the Octagon after a 36-second onslaught on German Denis Siver at UFC 86 in July, was originally arrested on Aug. 3 2007 for possession of a controlled substance (less than a gram). Under a two-year probation finalized on Oct. 10, 2007, Guillard was deferred jail time in favor of a fine, res ution and/or community service, and had to report regularly to a parole officer.
so much talent being completely wasted.
From 5ozofpain...
Juanito Ibarra, a converted boxing trainer that at one time could boast working with the likes of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Michael Bisping, has lost yet another fighter.
Published reports indicate that UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo has left Ibarra in order to join Jackson and Bisping at the Wolfslair MMA Academy in Liverpool, England.
Ibarra had been Jackson’s trainer and manager but was relieved of his duties following Jackson’s upset loss to Forrest Griffin at UFC 86 in July.
Jackson has not publicly addressed the reasons for his decision to part ways with Ibarra, but former UFC light heavyweight champion o Ortiz recently accused Ibarra of overcharging Jackson to run his training camps.
I really hope Rampage knows what he is doing here. Ibarra took him a long way. Rampage's standup has grown leaps and bounds since he started working with Ibarra and he supposedly has to fight Wandy in Nov. Who beat him twice in Pride. I'm guessing there is some truth to what o is saying here since he and Page are supposedly still good friends.
Not too mention that o backed it up with specific numbers.
poor anthony. he was dominating that fight.
Somebody asked about Trevor Prangley a while ago...well, here ya go.

That was me, awesome thanks.
Good work Strikeforce!
Billed as the “World Cup of Mixed Martial Arts,” the M-1 Challenge is set to premiere on HDNet this Friday at 8 p.m. ET.
Over the course of the past year, 10 teams representing eight different countries (including two teams from Russia along with an international team) competed in events held all over the world to determine the first-ever winner of the M-1 Challenge.
Much like the IFL’s team concept, each country fields a team with a representative in the five major individual weight classes including lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight.
Hosted by former PRIDE announcer Sean Wheelock and Jimmy Smith of the Discovery Channel’s “Fight Quest,” U.S. fans will be able to tune in each and every Friday and see how the tournament unfolded. Friday’s premiere episode will feature France taking on the famed Russian Red Devil team.
Rampage-Wandy is now official and UFC 91 will be the best UFC ever. That fight, Florian-Stevenson, and Randy and Brock!!!!!!!!!
ugh...poor wandy.
Too many fights where I don't want either person to lose!!!!!
In- ing SANE CARD right there. I can't wait for NOV, i am ting myself with excitement. Plus the MMA forum will be here by then, so it will be even better.
And Evan, i am where you are in that fight. I love Wandy and Page. It is rare when i have to just sit back and watch and not root for a fighter but this will be one of those rare occasions. I was so happy for Wandy when he beat Jardine, he needed that win badly. I felt Page got a bit of a raw deal with the Forrest fight. I mean he did way more damage and lost his le. Not a fan of the judging that night. Who needs the win more?? Probably Wandy, since he has lost 3 of his last 4. Page however is looking for a big comeback and wants to get right back in le contention assuming he avoids jail time on these charges.
The best outcome for this fight is a Liddell Wanderlei'esque slugfest where nobody really loses....
Got to hand it to the ufc...they grind everyone...not many easy fights out there.
And to your question...Wanderlei needs this far more than Jackson IMO.
Alright folks...I got 3 books today... (thank you amazon.com for saving me $30)
1. os bio
2. Randy's bio
3. Sherk's bio
Not sure which one to plow through first...
I haven't looked yet but I think o's may be written in crayon on Big Chief Notebook paper (30+'s may get that, not sure bout you youngen's)
Already read Chuck's, both of Lil Evils and Hughes.
I doubt i have to read o's Bio to know the chapters and topics
"I had a ty up-bringing"
"Dana White is an Asshole"
"I kicked ASS and the UFC paid me "
"Dana White is an Asshole"
"How to Kick Ken Shamrock's ass in 6 easy steps"
"Dana White is an asshole"
"I refused to fight Chuck because i knew i would lose, and they were still paying me "
"Dana White is an asshole"
"What it's like to Knock up a former trashy porn-star"
"The UFC threw me out, i'm still not making enough money and Dana White is still an asshole"
I like o but the man has his flaws
LOL too funny.
I find him interesting as I do all fighters...I'll start with his since you brought him up first. I expect very poor writing but thats fine...Pulver's was very rough but the fellow is brilliant regardless of not having a proper education until college so it didn't matter much.

Let me know how it is. If the book is more than just o, being Self-Serving, trashing fighters, the UFC and making excuses for his losses then i'll buy it and give it a read. I think that is about all it will be though.
I think you are most likely going to be right. A bit of a sales pitch for his (at the time looming) free agency.
And love or hate Matt, Chuck and Pulver but those were all nice reads.
SWICK VS GOULET AT ULTIMATE FIGHTER 8 FINALE
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - by Ken Pishna - MMAWeekly.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweights Mike Swick and Jonathan Goulet have agreed to fight on the finale of season eight of The Ultimate Fighter on Dec. 13, according to Goulet’s manager, Ken Pavia of MMA Agents.
The bout will be Swick’s third since making the move from the middleweight division down to 170 pounds. He is 2-0 in his new weight class, defeating both Josh Burkman and Marcus Davis by decision, but hasn’t yet found his vaunted knockout power in the lighter division.
The fight with Goulet will mark Swick’s first bout since undergoing surgery in July to remove bone fragments and bone spurs.
“I had a few bone fragments floating around in my elbow joint causing inflammation. There were also bone spurs that needed to be removed. It has been ongoing for a while,” he told MMAWeekly.com in an August interview. “It reduced my flexibility in the right arm and if it was extended too much it would swell up and be useless for a few days until the inflammation went down.”
He is now looking forward to a return to form. “I am extremely motivated and excited to get back in the Octagon… Mentally and physically I will be where I need to be to return to the aggressive, explosive fighter that I used to be.”
Swick and Goulet were originally slated to fight at UFC Fight Night 11 a year ago. Swick bowed out due to injury and Goulet ended up losing via submission to Dustin Hazelett. He has since gone on a three-fight winning streak, including his last two in the Octagon.
I like Goulet, but frankly he's got a weak chin. I don't see this ending well for him.
Next time anyone is at a book store…you must pick up o's book and turn to the pictures..other side of the first page of pictures is a pic of o's dad prepping marijuana plants with the biggest afro I have ever seen with the most dumbfounded stoner look I have ever seen since I looked at myself in High School.
