I'm coming for that top spot


Roy's wages are a joke

BJ Penn's has accepted Rory MacDonald's challenge to a fight.

Looks like Bispings fight with boetsch is off, Mike has to have knee surgery that will put him out for a few weeks and he probaly will not be ready in time.

There is a smaller event on tonight, decent card the main event should be good. The rematch to see who gets to fight Benavidez for the title and being the first UFC flyweight champ

Main Card

Demetrious Johnson vs. Ian McCall
Charlie Brenneman vs. Erick Silva
Josh Neer vs. Mike Pyle
Scott Jorgensen vs. Eddie Winelan

I came across these short news blog/sketches this week thought they were really funny. see what you think this is the latest, if you like them there more older ones on youtube. will not be news but i still found them funny the arianny get s arrested and nich diaz ones were best.

Saw this on another site and thought it might be of interest to some of the models that use the forum, and ofcourse i wouldn't mind seeing some of the girls at events. Didn't really know where to put it though so if a moderator or someone whats to move it to somewhere more appropriate, feel free.
Disclaimer: just to be clear i have no connection with this just thought it might be useful to people on the forum.

I've sent it to a few mods to send out to the ladies, like I said to them I think it'll suit Mica or Kandi Kay, Caitlyn Wynters & Hannah Martin best or maybe Paige Tyler but she's not on here anymore.

Paul Daley Released from Strikeforce Contract

UFC and Strikeforce veteran Paul Daley, anxious to pursue other career options, has been granted his release from his contract with Strikeforce.

Daley’s manager, Wad Alameddine of Fight Management Limited, on Saturday informed MMAWeekly.com of his client’s contractual status in a prepared statement.

Daley fought just four times for Strikeforce since signing on for his second tour of duty with the promotion in late 2010, amassing a 1-3 record. He did supplement those bouts by also fighting for BAMMA in England and Ringside MMA in Canada when it didn’t conflict with Strikeforce’s schedule.

Daley’s last two Strikeforce bouts were nine months apart. He fought one other time for the promotion, back in 2007.

“I’m happy that Strikeforce has granted my request to be released from their roster as I found it difficult to fight so infrequently,” said Daley. “My whole career I’ve wanted to fight as often as possible as it keeps me in the best form and condition.

“I felt that I put on nothing but entertaining fights while at the organization. The KO’s of Ludwig and Scott Smith were some great memories for me, as well as the back and forth fight of the year I had with Nick Diaz. My manager has already started speaking to some promotions about my future today following the official release papers from Strikeforce, and I’m looking forward to the next part in my journey.”

Despite his rocky road with Strikeforce, Daley has amassed a 29-12-2 overall record, highlighted by 20 knockouts. He’s an exciting, if not brash, fighter that can be controversial, but usually leaves people talking.

He is perhaps most infamous for his cheap shot of Josh Koscheck following their UFC 113 bout in Montreal. That incident led to Daley’s subsequent exile from the Octagon by UFC president Dana White.

“I am personally disappointed to see Paul leave Strikeforce,” added Alameddine. “He is without question one of the most charismatic personalities and talented MMA athletes to come out of the UK. We have parted ways with Strikeforce on good terms.

“Now that Paul is a free agent, I’m expecting plenty of interest in him from promotions both within the sport of MMA and K-1 Kickboxing, as he’s interested in competing in both. With his strong fan-following and exciting fight style I expect Semtex to be very busy wherever we go next.”

I've just been out in the garden doing the stomach roll that BJ does at the beginning of this vid, I'm not sure about the long term benifits but I've currently got a massive headache!!!

Hardy, Pickett and Sass all expected to be on the Nottingham card September 29th.

Sounds like the UFC found some decent Aussies for TUF UK vs Australia.

Some upcoming events later in the year, subject to change obviously.

UFC 151 September 1, Las Vegas, Nevada

Junior Dos Santos v Cain Velasquez

Martin Kampmann v Johny Hendricks

Some huge fights coming up, can't wait! Ogle vs Corassani is def the pick of the bunch though!

Henderson vs Jones is a cracker. Old school vs new, boss. Really intriguing fight that.

Dos Santos knocks Velasquez out again for me. Don't think anyone can take what he's got to dish out, speed,power,confident crisp accurate boxing. Carwin should get a medal for going the distance with him! JDS for me all day long.

GSP.... I've almost forgot what the great man looks like! Roll on his return.
