Strikeforce Miami - As fake as it gets

E-mail Print PDF

Strikeforce MiamiI just watched Strikeforce Miami (held on January 30, 2010) and I’m starting to think that something is not right there.

Let’s start with Bobby Lashley vs Wes Sims fight.

Who is Bobby Lashley? He looks like bodybuilder and worked as a fake wrestler for the last five years. May be Strikeforce wants to have someone like Brock Lesnar. He has 5 wins 4 of which ends in the first round. His opponents are unknown to the world except Bob Sapp, who I think is not looking for a win anymore. So to this superstar Strikeforce decide to give him, Shane Del Rosario, however the fight was scrapped from the card. Bobby Lashley was then expected to fight Yohan Banks, the bout needed commission approval, which was denied. Jimmy Ambriz was then targeted by the promotion as late replacement for Banks. Strikeforce decided not to go with Ambriz, despite being cleared by the Florida State Boxing Commission. And finally they choose Wes Sims to fight Lashley.

Who is Wes Sims? He was on the last Ultimate Fighter season and he proved that he has big mouth and little fighting skills.

The fight: Lashley punishes Wes for 2 minutes and referee stops the fight. Of course Wes is protesting.

If Lashley ever get real opponent he will die in the first round.

Next fight is Melvin Manhoef vs Robbie Lawler.

This was real fight. Very interesting. Melvin Manhoef hits Robbie Lawler strike after strike, kick after kick for 3 and a half minutes. Completely destroying the lead leg of Robbie, who can hardly walk after that. Then just 1 punch from Lawler and Melvin is KO. Robbie did only 7 strikes for the fight 3 of them landed.

Brock Lesnar is recovering

Brock LesnarGood news from Lesnar camp.

He had his surgery and now is feeling good as you can see on this video.

Brock Lesnar is recovering and will expect to know if he needs another surgical operation soon.

If it is not needed, he can attempt to make a near summer return in UFC in 2010.

His wight is being maintained as he cannot naturally maintain a weight of under 265 lbs. (120 kg.).

His body is just not fit for it.

Weight loss is not an issue.

His body is still able to maintain his weight of 275 pounds (125 kg.) at this time.

He will return to his natural 300 pounds (136 kg.) very easily and very quickly once training training resumes and he is able to go by his previous diet.

Natasha Wicks and Logan Stanton are out of the UFC

E-mail Print PDF

Natasha WicksIt is still unconfirmed, but we have information that the new UFC Ring Girl Natasha Wicks and Logan Stanton will no longer work for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

The reason for this is still unclear.

Natasha was the newest add-on to the Ring Girl Army.

So there must be something interesting that leads to this decision.

As for Logan may be she was looking too much like Arianny, so they don't need two chicks that look the same.

And at the moment the only one that is 100% sure that will be on the next UFC 108 Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva is Arianny Celeste.

But with every bad news must come and good one.

Soon we must see who is going to take her spot in the ring.

As always UFC tries to bring the best of the best to walk around the ring and tell us what round is next.

Chuck Liddell is back in UFC

E-mail Print PDF

Chuck LiddellDana White announced at the Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale that Liddell would be a coach on season 11 of the Ultimate Fighter with the opposing coach being Tito Ortiz. He said that after the Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale, Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz would have their third match against each other.

This will not be the first time Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz are coaches in The Ultimate Fighter. Chuck Liddell was coach in the first season against Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz coached in the third season against Ken Shamrok. I believe that this will be good season, because both of them are good coaches and fighters can learn a lot from them in the next Ultimate Fighter season.

Brock Lesnar is sick with bacterial infection in his intestinal tract

E-mail Print PDF

Brock LesnarBrock Lesnar is in for the biggest fight of his life; dealing with a serious illness – at this point just described as “bacterial infection in his intestinal tract.” He had “minor surgery” in Bismarck, N.D. Tuesday, according to UFC president Dana White.

“Not 100 (percent) sure he is out of the woods but (he’s) feeling better,” White wrote via Twitter.

The illness has caused the postponement of one title defense and, according to White, could even cost him his budding second-career.

“There’s a possibility Lesnar will never fight again,” White told TMZ.com on Monday.

Lesnar is famously private and precise details of what’s wrong have not been released. His management team and the UFC have declined further comment. All we know is that he grew so weak during an October training camp that he had to pull out of a fight that was scheduled for this Saturday.

The first diagnosis was mono. White said Saturday, though, that Lesnar was “very, very sick.” While he wouldn’t reveal the illness, he said it wasn’t cancer or HIV. There is no word on whether Tuesday’s surgery solves the problem or is just the first of many treatments.

Either way, for Lesnar the person, the timing is tough.

The 32-year old had entered a period of professional success, personal contentment and family bliss (a new baby boy with his wife, former wrestling star Sable, while living near his second grade daughter from a previous relationship).

It was a journey that was a long time and numerous bold lifestyle changes in the making.

After winning a NCAA wrestling championship at the University of Minnesota in 2000, Lesnar entered the scripted WWE as a natural born star. At 6-3, 300-pounds, he boasted incredible athletic ability and a natural touch as an actor. He was a headliner by 2002 and for three years made millions while living the predictable wild life on the road of someone young, rich and famous.

“You could either stay in or go out,” he said. “Guess which I chose?”

Increasingly he detested it. He was miserable. He later got a tattoo of a sword on his chest, blade pointed at his neck.

“At the time it symbolized someone (having) a knife up against my throat,” he said.
