FEDOR IS NOT RETIRING

Fedor Emelianenko is not retiring after the brutal beat down he took from Antonio  Silva, in the first round of the Strikeforce World Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament, coming into the fight Fedor and Silva was clearly a mismatch weight wise just like the UFC Brock Lesnar used his superior size to dominate Frank Mir,Silva got on top and never let up the, ground and pound from Silva was devastating. Now that Fedor Emelianenko has lost two fights straight in Strikeforce and contemplated retirement,he needs to take some time off relax and start training in Brazilian Jujitsu, comeback and move down to the Light Heavyweight division. He still has all the skills to be a Champion he is just not the best heavyweight in the world anymore, he can still be the best Light Heavyweight in the world, he just has to train harder and fight guy's his own size,he really needs to work on his BJJ submission defense.

THE EVOLUTION OF CHAD MENDES

CHAD "MONEY" MENDES The stand-out UNDEFETED TEAM ALPH MALE FEATHERWEIGHT and URIJAH FABERS prodigy in the division is becoming a great striker in his last THREE fights he have really improve his stand up game and, he is not just using his superior wrestling to smother his opponents. If he can keep this pace up he will be challenging the CHAMP JOSE ALDO even if MENDES comes into the fight undefeated it will still be hard for him to over come the beast of the division ALDO, but he has great training partners and one of them is one of the most exciting and toughest fighter in the UFC,URIJAH FABER who has already fought ALDO and knows how dangers the man is, so when the fight does happen MENDES will have a great game plan and look for more improvements in his stand up and jujitsu game, his last three fights was wins against top competition in each win he is showing his skill's in boxing, throwing combinations and good straights what else would you expect from a TEAM ALPH MALE fighter.

COWBOY DOES IT AGAIN

DONALD “COWBOY” CERRONE Went into UFC 126 without even knowing who he was going to fight that is just how dictated and hunger the former WEC lightweight Contender is,when the fight started his opponent PUAL KEELLY Throw a sucker punch CERRONE just takes him down the rest of the first round PUAL KELLY should some great boxing connecting with hooks,uppercuts and straights while the COWBOYS excellence kickboxing was able to keep the first round close .In the second round
KELLY continue his great striking to throw CERRONE off his game but in the end the top notch submission game of COWBOY DONALD CERRONE seals the deal, he gets a huge take-down and KELLY never gets back up as CERRONE submits KELLY via (rear naked choke) 3:48 of the second round. After the fight KELLY tried to apology for his dirty move at the start,for CERRONE next fight he needs a more all around opponent that will push him to show the UFC how great of a fighter he is maybe Ultimate Fighter Season 5 Champion NATE DIAZ.

STRIKEFORCE GRAND PRIX

KENNY FLOIRAN IS A FEATHERWEIGHT

Big news in the UFC former lightweight contender KENNY “KENFLO” FLORIAN is now a Featherweight fighter in the UFC, this move is great for KENFLO since he is 34 years old and he wants to be a UFC champion his time to achieve that is running out, his last fight was against the bigger and better wrestler GARY MAYNARD he was not able to overcome the strength and ground and pound of GARY in the fight and that was the main reason in he lost, The fight witch was a lightweight number #1 contender-ship match, he is still a top 10 lightweight fighter in MMA . Lets face it the UFC lightweight division is stacked right now it world be very hard for him to get another title shot even the UFC President DANA WHITE question his ability to win the BIG fight. With this move down in weight he can now reinvent his self and get his chance to get a UFC belt in a short period of time. before the fight with MAYNARD he was saying how he wanted to fight UFC featherweight champ JOSE ALDO and be the lightweight champ. FLOIAN told ESPN”for me its first things first. My goal is to get the 145-pound belt, and then go up to 155 and challenge for that belt as well.” For this move to work KENNY must train harder then he ever has if he wants to beat the divisions pound for pound king JOSE ALDO.

THE JOURNEY OF JONNY BONES JONES

What more can you say about the best athlete in the UFC Johnny “BONES”Jones the guy is phenomenal he has every tool in his tool belt to become a great champion for a long time .Youth is his greatest asset, the guy is just 23 and he has all ready got a shot at the belt, that is out of this world but the road was not easy he had to go through some tough SOBs to get where he is now, from Vera who was a standout heavyweight before he moved down to light heavyweight a very gamed Matt hamill who rich Franklin had a hard time with and the Russian vet Vladimir matyushenko who he beat with some of his fancy but accurate moves and he just beat the bigger guy Ryan Bader to cement him self as the number 1 contender for the UFC Light heavyweight belt and the guy is smart you got to like his work ethic he has a great team with top notch training partners who are contenders themselves, and he is very dedicated to the fight game we could be looking at the future champ and possiblly the pound for pound king down the road.

THE GREATEST IN THE UFC

Anderson “ THE SPIDER”Silva knocked out all of his critics with a first round knockout of former middleweight champ Vtor Belfor with a Steven seagal inspired front kick. Before the fight I had said that Silva is the pound for pound KING!!! of the UFC now you have all the media pundits saying that he is the best. To me the fight between GSP and Anderson Silva should have happen after GSP Beat koscheck and Silva beat loud mouth chael sonnen  please comment if you think that I am wrong about this but dana white wanted to see one of them lose so they want have of to put the poster boy of the UFC in a fight with sliva but this is what sports is all about the two best guys going at it, we don’t want the UFC to turn into  collage football where you have to teams calling them selves the number 1 teams, so hopefully we will see the mega fight of the year after GSP vs Shields fight.So Silva can once and for all show the world that he is the best!!!!!!! 

ROY NELSON VS BROCK LESNAR

Why did the UFC pass on LESNAR VS NELSON come on lets see the former UFC champ fight the  former IFL CHAMP “BIG COUNTRY ROY NELSON" is a legitimate fighter why hold him and the fans back from a great fight the MMA fans wants to see.Roy Nelson  won the ULTIMATE FIGHTER: HEAVYWEIGHTS in excellence fashion why not put him in the cage with UFC heavyweight  “THE NEXT BIG THING”. Come on if Roy Nelson beats Frank Mir what are the chances of him getting a title shot but it is all most guaranteed that if Lesnar beats Dos Santos He will Get a title shot just look, at the way they are promoting the fight it's like a number 1 contender ship fight by making Lesnar and Dos santos the Ultimate fighter 13 coaches. Frank Mir is one of my favorite fighters but he is on a two fight losing streak, why give one of your top heavyweights such a fight? Please comment if you think I am right or wrong but I think its cause of  Dana white don't won't to see a top fighter from another promotion beat the former UFC Champion. ROY NELSON has the stand up which we seen against Kimbo Slice,Brendan Schaub and the ground game when he submitted Frank Mir in a GRAPPLING MATCH.
