Nice matchup there.
Hey, I wanted to ask you that yesterday.
Do you think that all that celebrity people, sportsmen, jurnalists wanting to fight and accually getting that chance to fight is a good thing for the sport?
I mean the level is low but the show is there and people want to see this. And more peope want to compete in a lower level but on a big stage.
what do you think?
positive publicity is a good thing for this sport

Matt Hughes to return in early 2010, face Dennis Hallman
Matt Hughes is expected to make his return to the cage in early 2010, possibly on the traditional Super Bowl weekend show.
Hughes scored a close win over Matt Serra at UFC 98 in the final fight of his UFC contract and openly talked of retirement, but has since decided to stick around for a few more fights. Hughes, 35, is expected to sign a new contract with the company shortly.
Rumors circulated after UFC 98 that Hughes was considering a move to the middleweight division, but it appears the veteran is content with staying at welterweight. Dennis Hallman, who recently returned to the company, will almost certainly be his next opponent.
Hughes and Hallman have faced each other twice, with Hallman scoring quick submission victories in both fights. Sources have confirmed with Inside Fights that Hughes wanted the fight with Hallman after UFC 98, and that the request directly led to Hallman returning to the company.

Frank Mir has spoken and he had some choice words for the current World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko. In an interview with Xtreme Radio the Las Vegas, NV native claimed UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar would beat Fedor in an MMA match:
"In a boxing ring, when you're taken down, you can scoot from under the ropes, you can survive. In a cage, you better be able to get back up, or you're gonna get crushed. He would get crushed against Brock."
Well that's another aspect (cage) which makes it more difficult for Fedor. But saying get crushed?
I think Lesnar would beat Fedor. Fedor would not be able to keep his distance from Lesnar in a cage.
That sure is a statement coming from Mir.. a man who has never fought fedor and has speaked so highly of him in the past.
Mir is so over-hyped right now it's hilarious...he'll continue a downward spiral after his fluke kneebar over Lesnar and beating a depleted Nog got him all hyped up. Kongo via GnP...
Mma Weekly - Lyoto Machida and Shogun sat next to each other on the flight all the way from Brazil to L.A.
Mma Weekly - Shogun doesn't care how, he just wants to win. This is the most important fight of his life.
Rumors are running rampant right now, that the Page and Evans fight may be postponed because of this stupid A-Team movie Page might be in. Just a rumor so i haven't started a thread on it but if this is true, Page is gonna get wacked hard from all angles..
Damn I would like to see Dufee against Hardonk

When will Strikeforce reach its breaking point with Overeem?
By Steve Cofield
Why have championship belts if your fighters never defend them? Cung Le hasn't fought since March of 2008. Alistair Overeem has taken it to ridiculous levels. The Strikeforce heavyweight champ hasn't defended the strap since he won it back in November of 2007 against Paul Buentello.
It's gotten to the point where Strikeforce heavyweights aren't asking for an Overeem fight. The fight means zippo. The most desired fight is now against champ-in-waiting Fedor Emelianenko.
Overeem canceled his August 15 fight against Fabricio Werdum because of a mysterious hand injury. Now he's booked for what looks like a K-1 fight next month against Peter Aerts and then another appearance in December. When the heck will he fight in the U.S. again for Strikeforce? Frankly, we're starting to think he's avoiding fighting in the United States. We hate to do it, but there's was a lot of PED chatter surrounding Overeem when he was at the April Strikeforce event. He defiantly denied the steroid allegations with Ariel Helwani. The picture shows Overeem growing from a 205-pounder to huge 254-pounder in three years.
Who knows what the reason is? It's clear Overeem doesn't respect the le or Strikeforce. It's time to strip him and hold a heavyweight tournament. Make it an eight-man tourney with Fedor as the No. 1 seed. If Overeem wants in, he's welcome to. It'd be a great way to build up the heavyweight roster and further promote Fedor's name in the U.S.
1 year to defend your le or gtfo.
Eilers' stepfather convicted:
James Robert Malec was convicted Thursday of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of his stepson, mixed martial arts veteran Justin Eilers, according to a report Friday in the Idaho Statesman. Prosecutors had sought to charge Malec with second-degree murder, punishable by life in prison, but jurors chose the lesser charge after deliberating for eight hours.
Malec could face up to 15 years in prison and/or a $15,000 fine. Sentencing is expected in October, though a date has not been set.
Eilers was at Malec’s house for a Christmas party when the two got into a verbal confrontation after Eilers reportedly became enraged at the presence of an ex-girlfriend. According to the report, Eilers’ mother and Malec’s wife, Gwen Moore, may have been standing between the two when Malec drew a handgun and shot Eilers once in the chest. Eilers died on the scene.
Defense attorneys argued that Malec feared for his life and shot Eilers out of self-defense. During the trial, Malec testified that the MMA veteran had walked him down while threatening to kill him.
"Never lose sight of the fact that Justin tried to make a living by pummeling people into submission," defense attorney Gordon Petrie said.
Prosecutors said Eilers was backing away during the confrontation and Malec’s actions were intentional.
"Justin Eilers was acting like a jerk, there's no question," Prosecutor Scott James said. "He was ruining Christmas. He was disrespecting the defendant in his own home. But he didn't deserve to die."
Eilers, a disciple of Miletich Fighting Systems, had a six-year career in MMA and once fought Andrei Arlovski for the UFC heavyweight le. Eilers lost in the first round after blowing his knee out. His last fight was in July 2008 at EliteXC: Unfinished Business, where he lost a le bid against Antonio Silva.
Moore said she dreaded the verdict, but felt it was just.
"Everyone asked me what justice I wanted,” she said. “I want my son back, that's what I want. And I'm not going to get that."
