Thought: James Toney vs. Randy Couture prediction…

Leave a comment

I have been following this James Toney vs. Randy Couture feud online, and I must say, it’s even funnier than the Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin feud. Boxing legend James Toney has been signed to UFC to fight Randy Couture. James Toney has been obsessed with wanting to fight Randy Couture for a long time and Dana White gave him what he wanted. James Toney is a BOXER. Not a mixed martial artist. I repeat, a BOXER. Randy Couture has YEARS of mixed martial arts experience.

My opinion, that I think James Toney is challenging the wrong guy. Randy Couture would fucking destroy Toney. Toney might be able to throw a few hard punches at Randy, yes, but the fight will be over quickly once Toney gets a takedown by Couture, and Couture will give him the chokehold to end the fight. Randy Couture is well known for the chokehold. Randy Couture may seem like a nice, friendly and down to earth guy, but in reality, Randy is a monster when it comes to fighting.

Toney thinks he will beat Couture, which is hilarious. Toney thinks he will be successful in UFC. That’s how boxers are, delusional and they have huge egos as well. Why did Dana White agree to sign Toney even if Toney don’t have much MMA experience? I bet the only reason is to help PPV buyrates. Dana didn’t sign Toney because Toney is talented.

So of course, my money on who to win this fight is Randy Couture. Randy is a favorite fighter of mine and looking forward to seeing him fight again.

UFC 118 looks like a great card. I’m looking forward to seeing Edgar vs. Penn again too.

Thought: Brock Lesnar autobiography????

Leave a comment

 

So at the press conference after the UFC 116 fight, Brock Lesnar revealed he’s writing an autobiography with the help of Paul Heyman and a ghost writer. I’m certainly am interested in buying it and will read it when ever it gets on the bookshelves at bookstores everywhere. It’s going to be an interesting book I think. He might go everything in detail about his life. Isn’t that the point of an autobiography? I’m interested in reading what his childhood was like all the way up to now.

When the book comes out though, he might have to take another break from UFC. Why? One word: Promotion. He’ll take more time off from UFC to promote the book on TV, do autograph signing book tours, and things like that.

I have a feeling that his book will have things that Vince McMahon won’t want to read ’cause Brock might say a lot of nasty things about him, and Brock might reveal shocking stuff on why him and Vince don’t get along. Plus, I’m sure he’ll talk about how he met with Sable (Rena Mero), they obviously met while working in WWE together, but Brock might explain more stuff about their relationship in the book. Of course, Brock will talk about the UFC in the book as well.

It sure will be a controversial book ’cause Brock is a controversial guy.

Report: Ultimate fighting close to being legalized in NY State?

Leave a comment

The Senate approved a measure to legalize UFC/MMA events to come to NY State, so is it one step closer to being legalized officially in the NY State?

More on it here:

http://wnyt.com/article/stories/S1611328.shtml?cat=300

That would be awesome if ultimate fighting gets legalized here. There are many NY fans of that sport and we deserve our ultimate fighting live experience! You might be thinking, will the UFC put on ppv events at the Times Union Center in Albany? They might, but I doubt UFC will ever come to Albany. I’m pretty sure Dana White is aiming for a first ppv event at no where other than the legendary and the historic venue, Madison Square Garden. That’s the first place UFC will go. Then maybe the Times Union Center in Albany later on. The MSG will be the first place they will hit for sure.

As for MMA “Strikeforce” events, I see them hitting the smaller venues maybe the Times Union Center in Albany and the Glens Falls Civic Center in Glens Falls.

NY deserves this sport. If it gets legalized, I would go see a live UFC event or Strikeforce, yes definitely. That would be a blast!

Thought: Should Rampage Jackson join WWE full time???

Leave a comment

UFC star, Rampage Jackson’s apperance on WWE last night was a huge hit with WWE fans that, I’m seeing a lot of ’em want Rampage Jackson to join WWE full time. I agree, Rampage did a great job performing and he looked like a WWE superstar like I said. Will Rampage Jackson join the WWE full time in the future? Possibly more occasional appearances? Maybe not a full time run, but Rampage making occasional appearances to feud with Roddy Piper would be pretty cool.

Some of you may think that Rampage would not work for WWE, but if you knew about his personality and his ego, Rampage is clearly about the money. If WWE wants him, of course, I think he’ll go for it. Rampage almost quit UFC ’cause he claimed he wasn’t making enough money so he went to movies instead. After doing the “A-Team”, Rampage is back in UFC again. If Rampage leaves the UFC again in the future, who knows, maybe he will join WWE.

That was a good angle between Roddy Piper vs. Rampage last night. I hope WWE keeps that feud going.

I am still in shock from last night’s RAW. I’ll repeat, it was the best RAW in years. I see John Cena forming his own group so he can help battle the NXT guys for an 8 vs. 8 ppv match in the future. Who do I think should join John Cena’s 8 man group to fight the NXT guys? At the top of my head I predict: Randy Orton, Triple H, Evan Bourne, Kane, R-Truth, David Hart Smith, and Tyson Kidd.

Tito Ortiz vs. Jenna Jameson thoughts…

Leave a comment

So now Tito Ortiz, the UFC fighter, is turning out to be a woman beater. Which is no surprise to me. The guy’s a prick, even the UFC fans know it. It was only a matter of time that he was going to hurt Jenna one day and he actually did it. She maybe addicted to Oxycontin or whatever drugs she was on, yes, but that’s still no excuse to hit a woman. No matter how much a woman pisses you off, I agree, that women can be annoying and can drive you mad, but never lay a hand on her. I hope Tito gets the punishment he deserves with the full extent of the law. Of course, I have this feeling the asshole is going to walk. No wonder Chuck Lidell hates this guy so much, now I see why. You know Chuck the Iceman will have a lot to say about this and looking forward to hearing his words.

How to do meet & greets with UFC stars…

Leave a comment

Have you always wanted to meet a UFC star in person and wanting to know how to do it so you won’t get into trouble? Well UFC fighter, Kurt Pellegrino, shares his experiences and gives you a lesson on how to meet UFC stars in person, for an autograph or a picture taken or whatever.

Read his blog here:

http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=80541

Very insightful read. Keep in mind though, that not ALL Ufc fighters are going to be the nicest people. A lot of them have different attitudes. Some UFC fighters can be great with their fans, and some can be downright pricks. Some fighters don’t even do autographs or pictures at all.

A lot of people may hate Brock Lesnar, but from the stories I’ve heard from people who has already met him in person, I’ve heard Lesnar is a really nice and down to earth guy. I hear he’s very good with his fans, loves meeting them and would sign anything that’s handed to him. I would like to meet Lesnar one day ’cause it would be a thrill to tell him how much he is an inspiration.

UFC 111: Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir thoughts…

Leave a comment

Shane Carwin is a fighter who is a monster. The man is very dangerous. He is known to have very quick fights in almost every fight he has done. He is capable of knocking a fighter out very quick in one round. In last night’s fight with Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir, respects goes out to both fighters. Shane Carwin is still unstoppable. Frank tried, he tried to make the fight last long and he did a good job trying to survive, but of course, Shane exploded with a lot of punches to Frank’s face. In the start of the fight, Frank did a good job trying to not let Shane explode like that ‘caues Frank knew it was going to happen. Frank just made one mistake and Shane was all over the guy this quick, and the fight was over. I think this was the best fight I’ve seen in UFC in a long time. After seeing this fight, now I can’t wait to see Brock vs. Shane later this year.

Do you think Brock will be able to survive Shane? My prediction? Yes. I think Brock will survive Shane easily. I think Brock will beat Shane. During Brock’s hiatus in UFC, I think Brock has been studying Shane’s fighting skills. So Brock has been training and learning. Brock will be UFC Champ for a long time. Shane won’t take it from him, trust me.

As for the other fights on last night’s ppv, they were real good too. I liked Miller vs. Bocek and liked Fitch vs. Saunders. St. Pierre vs. Hardy was good too. Not a bad ppv.

A lot of people hate Brock Lesnar, but I’ve always been a fan of his. So I look forward to see him returning to the Octagon later this year when he defends his title against Carwin. I was actually hoping for Frank Mir, to win, but Shane won’t be a bad opponent. Brock’s going to make Shane Carwin look like a little baby, I gauruntee you that. UFC 111 was good. I enjoyed every fight.

On with PPV #2, Wrestlemania 26 later this evening. Looking forward to seeing that as well.

UFC drama in twitter: It’s Jenna Jameson vs. Chuck Liddell…

Leave a comment

A little feud heated up in twitter between UFC’s Chuck Liddell and former porn star, Jenna Jameson. How did this drama start out? Well Dana White made a post in his official twitter responding to an MMA article claiming Chuck Liddell got fat again. Dana posted a recent pic of Chuck showing off his six pack abs to prove that Chuck didn’t get fat.

Jenna, then tweeted this:

I think its funny that @DanaWhite defends Chuck Liddell like he’s his boyfriend… It’s kinda embarrassing

http://twitter.com/jennajameson

and of course, Chuck responded back, being all defensive.

http://twitter.com/chuckLiddelL

A little paranoid are ya, Chuck? Jenna’s just joking around and having some fun it looks like. Have a sense of humor, tough guy! Maybe she’s still pissed at Chuck that he beat Tito a couple of times and wanted to poke fun at him for laughs?

This stuff is very funny and entertaining, keep it going!

Edit to add: Btw, I think this is also a publicity stunt to help hype up Chuck’s return to fighting in UFC. It looks like he is returning to fight after all. Chuck to fight Tito again for the third time?

Report: It’s Brock Lesnar vs. Espn’s Jim Rome over health care…

2 Comments

Brock Lesnar is back…and he is mad. At what? Is he mad at the Canadian Health Care system and he is out in the media, fighting it. He claims that the Canada Health Care system won’t do anything for him and said it was a 3rd World Country. Brock lives with Rena Mero (Sable) in Minnesota. Keep in mind, Brock is not Canadian, he is an American.

Espn’s Jim Rome, responded to Brock’s message about health care in Canadian, and bashes Brock Lesnar in return.

See the article here:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=4856985&name=mma

Who’s in the right here? Is it Brock or Jim? I’m on Brock’s side of course. It sounds like Jim is ripping on Brock just for attention of his TV show. After all, since Jim Rome’s TV show is called, “Rome Is Burning” it seems that his show is about bashing sports athletes. Sorry but this Jim Rome guy is a lowlife coward. Since he called Frank Mir a stalker in that video, this Jim Rome guy sounds like a loser.

I think Brock is doing a good thing, fighting for health care, and I can’t blame him since he is just recovering from diverticulitis. Brock do good, Jim is a nobody.

Report: Brock Lesnar to return this summer, but I’m not keeping my hopes up yet…

2 Comments

Brock Lesnar says he’s ready to return to UFC but Dana White is pushing for his return this summer. Brock will soon be training in the gym again. He got sick with mono and plans to make changes in his life, so he wouldn’t get sick with it again. Having a strict, “high protein” only diet is part of what caused it. He plans to change his diet a little by eating more fiber and healthy green foods. Brock says this changed his life, big time, and only made him stronger.

Read more on it here:

It may piss a lot of people off, but I don’t want Brock to lose the belt. I’m a Brock Lesnar fan and want him to stay undefeated. Brock could simply be the Floyd Mayweather Jr. of the UFC, if you know what I mean. The belt belongs to Brock and I honestly don’t see anybody in UFC taking it from him at all. It may be unfair for other UFC fighters, yes, but Brock is the best fighter in the business.

He maybe returning in the summer, but they could postpone his return again so don’t get excited yet, UFC fans.
