Randy Couture fought a valiant fight but it wasn’t enough: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira defeated him in a three round fight that saw Big Nog take the decision off of knockdowns and submission attempts. Couture managed to stay in the fight right up to the final bell, but there was no doubt in anyone’s mind who won the fight.
Also winning in this fight were the fans, who witnessed what has to be a fight of the year candidate if I ever saw one. From slugging on the feet to near-finish submission escapes, this fight blew away quietly confident expectations and really …read more

The moment Brock Lesnar beat the goo out of Frank Mir at UFC 100, the Lesnar hype train hit full speed. Brock is now ranked at the very top of several legitimate heavyweight ranking lists, beaten out only by one man you might not have heard too much about: Fedor Emelianenko.
Who is Fedor? He’s a portly looking Russian who looks more like a window washer than a cage champion. But for nearly a decade he has fought in Japan, beating out a huge amount of the world’s best heavyweights. His record currently stands at 30-1, with the only loss coming …read more

Wow, November is over all ready and the end of 2008 is right around the corner. Where the hell does the time go? We’ve seen some exciting fights this year and it can only get better…or can it? To me it seems that some promotions are shooting for "Super Fights" to draw cash instead of singing matches with people that deserve a title match. That’s nothing really new though, is it? Anyway, I have a few things and link of interest here for this end of the month wind-down.
First up, we saw an UFC and MMA Veteran lose his title …read more

So holy crap. If you haven’t heard the news anywhere else than you obviously were not interested in the outcome of the fights that took place Saturday night. I honestly should have posted something about this yesterday but I have a bit of a cold. So lets see what went on.

Starting with the main event. Brock Lesnar came out hungry and proved that he’s not just a hyped up former WWE cash draw. While I like Randy Couture I just had a feeling that Brock’s size and (real) wrestling background was going to be an issue. When you pit …read more

In case you missed this back in September, ESPN aired this segment with UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture and UFC newcomer Brock Lesnar on their upcoming UFC 91 fight.. Less than two weeks away we should see if this is a fight wroth paying for or if we’ll be kicking ourselves in the ass the next day. Check it out…

I don’t know what Randy Couture thinks he has to prove by fighting Brock Lesnar or if the UFC is trying to cash in on such a fight before the years end? I thought this was an odd, "Throw a vet at a rookie" type match that could go one sided…either way. You look at the fighter profiles.
You have Randy Couture:  A veteran octagon fighter since UFC 13, with 15 win and 8 loses. 6′ 2" tall and 220 pounds. He’s held the UFC heavyweight championship 3 times and the Light-Heavyweight championship twice.

Tickets to see UFC Rookie Brock Lesnar fight UFC Veteran Randy Couture go on sale to the public this Saturday (9/20) at 11 am for the MGM Grand Garden Arena on November 15th. Tickets are said to run from $75 to $1000. I’ll talk more about this fight in the near future.
Other fights confirmed for the even are Dustin Hazelett vs. Tamdan McCrory and Kenny Florian vs. Joe Stevenson

The year is 2002 on an episode of WWE Monday night Raw, the man that was to be known as “THE NEXT BIG THING” Brock Lesnar was on the scene and ready to take the professional wrestling scene by storm just as he did in the NCAA heavyweight division. At that time little was known about the 23-year-old former University of Minnesota collegiate wrestler, but one thing was for sure the man was a genetic freak.
Led to the ring by WWE personality Paul Heyman, Lesnar destroyed everything put in his path including the likes of Hulk …read more

We have all heard it before when it comes to Randy Couture. “He’s too old, not big enough, not strong enough, his time has passed” only to be silenced by the MMA legend. Randy has returned to the UFC with a new contract, all personal and business issues apparently ironed out with the UFC. Randy left the UFC in Oct of 2007 partially out of frustration the company did not sign Fedor Emelianenko. While Randy still remains hopeful a deal can eventually be worked out to fight the widely regarded greatest Heavyweight in the World, there is …read more
