Report: Jim Ross blogs about “Lesnar vs. Mir” match from UFC 100…says Lesnar loves being the badguy…

Leave a comment

Jim Ross, the guy with the black resistol hat, and mostly known for a WWE color commentator at ringside speaks on the “UFC 100” ppv. Yes, he and his wife watched it together with a few of their friends. Jim Ross is also the 2nd boss of the WWE in real life, he’s Vince’s right hand man behind the scenes. Jim Ross knows Brock Lesnar pretty well and it shows it in this blog entry.

JR says back when Brock Lesnar used to work for the WWE, he was always happy when he’s the most hated man in sports entertainment. Lesnar loved to be booed and it clearly showed that at “UFC 100” last night.

Read JR’s blog here:

Lesnar wanted to be a real fighter himself, and he finally made his dream come true. He went through so many careers in his life. Lesnar played in the NFL, he wrestled in the NCAA, WWE of course, and wrestled for New Japan of Wrestling too. He went to the MMA for a little bit and now the UFC full time. So now you see why he’s so big and powerful?

I wanna know what Vince McMahon thought of the Brock Lesnar tirade at the end of his UFC match last night? We all know, Vinnie Mac probably watched UFC 100 too. Maybe Vince will speak on it soon.

I think Lesnar will not be the only one to be all fired up and play a heel/badguy in UFC in the future. I’m sure more UFC stars in the future will follow suit with Lesnar’s antics. Lesnar just turned UFC into a good guy/badguy thing like the WWE.

Dana White didn’t want UFC to turn out that way, he wants fighters to be polite, and profesional, but I think Brock Lesnar has turned this around.

Report: Randy Couture to have a match against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102…

Leave a comment

So you think UFC legend Randy Couture is retired from fighting after losing his title to Brock Lesnar and back to acting in Hollywood film for Sly Stallone’s next movie, “The Expendables”? Think again. Randy Couture is not yet retired from UFC for good.

It’ll be Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for UFC 102 on Aug. 29th in Portland, Ore. Both men who have casting roles for Stallone’s, “Expendables”.

In this article, Randy speaks his experience filming in Brazil, he says he was tired and burnt out. He said shooting went great and he had a good time. How do you like that UFC fans? Two actors in the same ring together to fight each other for real and not in a Hollywood movie!

I think I’ll definitely be watching UFC 102 when it comes up.

BREAKING NEWS: Dana White makes it official, Chuck Lidell is finished with UFC…

Leave a comment

As of today, UFC President Dana White, announced that Chuck Lidell is officially done fighting in the UFC. After losing his fourth fight in a row, his last against “Shogun” Rua, it might be a possibility that Chuck could be finished fighting for good, the news has been confirmed today.

However, Chuck is not fired from the company for good, Dana plans to hire Chuck for another position in the UFC so he can stick with the company. Maybe make Chuck Lidell a manager for other fighters?

Not only that, Dana also announced that he may retire as President of the UFC, since he’ll soon be hitting his 40’s.

Thought: Now that Chuck Lidell is done with UFC, will he join the WWE finally?

Leave a comment

I think WWE asked Chuck Lidell to join once before in the past but Chuck turned it down ’cause he was concentrating on UFC and staying committed to that. Now that Chuck could be done with UFC for good, is he on his way to WWE?

Back when Kurt Angle was a WWE star at the time, Chuck had a bit of a feud with Kurt Angle outside of wrestling. Kurt Angle is still currently with TNA, so never know, Chuck may go to TNA instead to finally get his hands on Kurt Angle.

If anything, I would like to see Chuck in WWE as I think he would be real good. Chuck has got the WWE look so I can see why people would want him in. I can definitely see Chuck wrestling against guys like Triple H, Edge, Big Show, Randy Orton, etc.

Chuck would grow a bigger fanbase in WWE. I really think Chuck should go for a WWE run. Would be a great opportunity for him. Even though he can no longer win matches, WWE would be easier for him since it isn’t real fighting.

Cool Video: Dana White, aka attention whore!

Leave a comment

The UFC official youtube page put up this hilarious video which is about Dana White announcing that he is not doing video blogs anymore. There is this other guy saying all this stuff why he is not doing vlogs. At the end of the video, you see Dana White holding up signs that says, “My video blogs are back”, with duct tape covered his mouth.

It’s funny as hell. The users in the comments are thinking he really is leaving when Dana just said he is not at the end of the video. I guess you can call this a late April Fools joke. Dana is still doing the video blogs.

I see another rant by Dana about Loretta Hunt coming up soon!

Loretta Hunt speaks more on Dana White via sattelite, you can actually see her on camera this time…she says in her article she wasn’t trying to piss Dana off, she was just doing her job…reporting sports news on Sherdog.com that she was hired to do…but she knows that all of Sherdog’s work will not make everyone happy…she also says Dana has the right to be upset…is she actually sticking up for the guy? That’s what it’s looking like.

Cool Video: Loretta Hunt responds to Dana White video on FOX SPORTS!!!

Leave a comment

Here we go, sports TV talk shows are already onto this, FOX’s “Fight Game” had Loretta Hunt on the phone talking to the people on the talk show. She says she didn’t even see the video, it seems like she doesn’t even care, and her story about “Managers/agents not getting credentials” wasn’t meant to be taken personally. They even said Dana White was unprofesional.

Report: Women in Sports media group wants UFC to take action against Dana White…

34 Comments

UFC’s President and CEO, Dana White, may have apologized for the anti-gay slurs, but the fight against his controversial youtube video isn’t over, folks. The Assn. of Women in Sports Media, wants the UFC company to take action against Dana White. Not only that he used the gay slur, he also used offensive words toward the women, like “cunt”, and others in the videos that offended the women.

The media group has also defended Loretta Hunt and they say that many women are also UFC and MMA fans. I think Dana needs to realize that many women are fans of the sport that he could turn women off.

This article doesn’t state what kind of action they want UFC to go against Dana White, whether they want him to get terminated as President or some kind of suspension/punishment, but it’s all up to Lorenzo and Frank Fertita, what they would do with Dana White since they are his bosses. The women media group just wants the UFC officials to confront Dana about this.

More on it here:

I actually kind of agree with them, that writers women media group, is right that men shouldn’t talk to women that way. It’s okay to swear in conversation, but calling innocent women, “bitch” or “cunt” is way out of line.

Loretta wasn’t acting like a bitch in her article about managers and agents not getting credentials at all, she’s just doing her job and doing news that a reporter would do.

While I’m sure, some people would like to see Dana fired for this, I’m sure his bosses would defend him and say he didn’t do anything wrong.

Report: More on the Dana White vs. Loretta Hunt feud…

Leave a comment

This is Loretta’s article that Dana is pissed about, read up, it’s an interesting read…

http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/some-managers-agents-lose-backstage-pass-16813

Sherdog responded to Dana’s videoblog attacking Loretta Hunt. Sherdog says they aren’t backing down on their fight with Dana and UFC. Sherdog will continue to expose the UFC to the public how they don’t give managers and agents credentials. They made it pretty clear, Sherdog.com doesn’t care how pissed Dana gets, and they will continue to show the world how Dana isn’t a good business man.

See Sherdog’s statement about UFC and Dana White here:

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/a-statement-on-dana-whites-remarks-16853

I’ll be keeping an eye on this feud. Will Dana and Sherdog.com battle it out in court?

It isn’t slander or libel if Sherdog is right and if they really are accurate.

EDIT TO ADD: Instead of battling it out in court, I think Dana himself and Loretta should fight in the next “UFC” ppv, they should settle things in the ring. Who would win in a real fight with Dana vs. Loretta? My money is on Loretta, I think she can kick Dana’s ass, women are pretty tough!
