Looks like we will see Junie Browning fight once more in the UFC. Junie and TUF season 8 winners Efrain Escudero and Ryan Bader will all be fighting on the UFN 18 main card.
Carlos Condit will either prove to the nay-sayers that he’s not just a great WEC fighter, but a great all around MMA fighter.
Efrain Escudero may have his hands full against Jeremy Stephens. Stephens doesn’t want to lose back-to-back fights, especially to a UFC newcomer.

The Ultimate Fighter Season 8 Light-Heavyweight winner Ryan “Darth” Bader will be fighting to see if he can retain his undefeated UFC (1-0) and Pro MMA record (8-0).
Carmelo Marerro returns to the UFC after brief runs in the IFL and WCO. He was dropped from the UFC roster in 2007 after two consecutive loses. He got a contract with the WEC in 2008 and won over Steve Steinbeiss in a split decision at WEC 36. Seeing that the WEC no longer features light-heavyweight fighters, he was lucky enough to get a transfer to the UFC.

The Ultimate Finale aired Saturday night on Spike TV and it’s a good thing I’m not a gambling man because both of the fighters I picked to win…lost. That’s what makes MMA so exciting. You can think that a fighter will win based on how his skill in one of his disciplines is versus the others but it doesn’t always work out the way you expect it.
The non Televised fights results are as follows:

Roli Delgado defeated John Polakowski with a guillotine choke at 2:18 in the second round
Shane Nelson defeated George Roop in a split decision
Tom Lawlor defeated Kyle …read more

Martial arts has always been about discipline, about being in a better physical and mental fighter than your opponent. Although mixed martial arts is a bit different, it still holds the same values in my opinion. If you don’t have a clear state of mind and focus then your opponent may get the best of you.
Junie Browning showed some impressive skills when he fought Jose Aguilar on the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter 8. He made short work of Aguilar and impressed both Dana White and Frank Mir.
It wasn’t long after that we saw an alcohol fueled Junie Browning …read more

Last night was the double episode for the Semifinals of The Ultimate Fighter Season 8. This season has gone by fast an as usual we see some crazy stuff happen in the house. Pranks and idiocy. The only fighter we really saw any in-house aggression from this year was Junie Browning and somehow he stayed around. All things must come to an end though. I’m going to keep the drama out of this recap and just give you the results.

The last two taped episodes of The Ultimate Fighter Season 8 will play this Wednesday evening with a two hour run.  The semi-final fights are as follows:
Light Heavyweights

Ryan Bader vs. Eliot Marshall
Vinny Magalhaes vs. Krzysztof Soszynski

Lightweights

Junie Browning vs. Efrain Escudero
George Roop vs. Phillipe Nover

It’s hard to believe this season is almost over. Seems like it went by pretty quick.
Also on Wednesday night is WEC 37, where we will see Miguel Torres defend his Bantamweight championship title against Manny Tapia. This even will also be the last Light Heavyweight fight (Mark Munoz Vs. Ricardo Barros) in …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

This past week I missed the fact that due to the Thanksgiving holiday, The Ultimate Fighter was not going to air. Instead, we saw replays of the last two episodes. You’ll have to wait until next week to see back to back episodes. December 3rd is also WEC 37 with Manny Tapia vs. Miguel Torres.
WEC 37 starts at 8 pm with 4 fights to air so it should be over by the time The Ultimate Fighter comes on at 10 pm on Spike TV. This Torres Vs. Tapia fight should be a great fight. Also Brian Bowles will be …read more

The final Lightweight fight aired last night on UFC’s The Ultimate Fighter with Team Noguiera’s John Polakowski facing Team Mir’s George Roop.
John Polakowski, while seeming like he has a bit of ADHD was the favored pick of this fight due to the fact that George Roop injured his hand pretty badly during practice when he got it caught in the fencing of the octagon. However during the fight he was throwing a lot of good left hands and feet and going for some take downs. Polakowski was trying to throw a lot of punches and landed a few good …read more
