Criminal dog, straight up criminal.” – Jose “Freddy” Aguilar drops some knowledge in his pre-fight video on this season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8.

David Loiseau inches closer to UFC return with win over Solomon Hutcherson Posted: 15 Sep 2008 08:09 AM CDT David Loiseau defeated Solomon Hutcherson over the weekend via fifth round technical knockout to earn the Xtreme MMA (XMMA) middleweight title at the Claude Robillard Sports Complex in Montreal, Canada. It was a big (and gutsy) win for “The Crow” — his third straight since a controversial split decision loss Jason Day earlier this year — because it gets him once step closer to a UFC return. The Canadian was at one time a top 185-pound title contender. In fact, he challenged then-champion Rich Franklin for his belt at UFC 58: “USA vs. Canada” in 2006, losing to “Ace” in a lopsided unanimous decision. Loiseau had won four of five bouts inside the Octagon, including stoppages of Evan Tanner, Charles McCarthy and Mark Weir, to earn the opportunity. After the loss to Franklin, however, Loiseau dropped three of his next four and fell of the radar. He was cut from the promotion rather abruptly after a unanimous decision loss to Mike Swick at UFC 63: “Hughes vs. Penn” in September 2006. Loiseau — who trains with welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and Patrick Cote, among others — has been working hard ever since in smaller shows to be invited back. And he may have done it this weekend, which would be good news for him and the middleweight division.

Mac Danzig: ‘I’m going for that first round finish’ of Clay Guida at UFC Fight Night 15 Posted: 15 Sep 2008 07:44 AM CDT Props: UFC.com Quoteworthy: "Clay is one of the coolest people I've met in the fight game. One of the things that makes him dangerous isn't necessarily his skills, but his intensity and heart. He's constantly moving forward and has a good work ethic. He goes for the whole fifteen minutes … I know that I'm going to win. I think I have an advantage in training with guys who, skill-wise, are better than Clay. I know what he's going to bring to the table. I just have to work on stopping him and controlling the pace. The best-case scenario: I end it in the first round. I'm not going to say how, but I'm going for that first round finish." Season six winner of The Ultimate Fighter, Mac Danzig, talks about his upcoming UFC Fight Night 15 co-main event bout against Clay Guida at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Neb., on September 17. Danzig has not lost since he joined the promotion, winning his last two fights via submission against Tommy Speer and Mark Bocek, respectively. He has 10 first round finishes in 23 professional fights.

Dana White UFC president video interview Posted: 14 Sep 2008 10:50 AM CDT This includes very little on MMA and more on his personal interests, making it a little more interesting than the typical song and dance we often hear. And he doesn’t curse … as much:
