| MMA Quick Quote: Kimbo Slice is a turkey Posted: 29 Nov 2008 04:25 PM CST
– SI.com, which incorrectly states that Elite XCs Kimbo Slice was fighting for a title, nominates the Miami street brawler for a “2008 Turkey of the Year.” Slice was pimped front and center by the now defunct organization because of his YouTube.com exploits. And when he went down against Seth Petruzelli in just 14 seconds back in October he ultimately took down the whole promotion — the “StandGate” controversy surrounding the main event was essentially its death knell. Ocho Cinco, Al Davis, Mark Cuban, Roger Clemens and Jeremy Shockey are some of the other athletes who made the 23-member list. | ||||||||||||||||||

| It’s kill or be killed for Thiago Silva against Lyoto Machida at UFC 94 Posted: 29 Nov 2008 10:37 AM CST
Props: Tatame.com Quoteworthy:
Undefeated Chute Boxe-trained mixed martial artist Thiago Silva talks about the importance of his upcoming fight against fellow Brazilian Lyoto Machida at UFC 94: “St. Pierre vs. Penn 2″ at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on January 31. It was a highly anticipated 205-pound bout that was originally scheduled for UFC 89: "Bisping vs. Leben" on October 18; however, Silva had to withdraw from the contest because of a back injury sustained during training. He’s apparently all healed ready to rock as soon as next week … to bad we will have to wait until Super Bowl weekend. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Shooto ‘Tradition 4′ results & quick recap Posted: 29 Nov 2008 10:36 AM CST
Shooto held its ‘Tradition 4′ event earlier today at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Some great fights went down and there were also a few familiar faces in the audience with the likes of Takanori Gomi and others watching in on the action. Takeshi Inoue was able to add another Shooto belt to his collection. He was the Shooto Pacific Rim Lightweight Champion coming in and now thanks to a hard earned decision victory over Hideki Kadowaki, can now also call himself the new Shooto Lightweight Champion. If anyone questioned whether or not "Lion Takeshi" deserved to fight for the belt after coming off a loss to Savant Young last May was proven wrong today. Hatsu Hioki made himself a force to be reckoned with after his first round destruction of Shooto legend Rumina Sato. Sato, known for his unorthodox submission victories like his flying armbar victory over Charles Taylor back in 1999, was unable to recapture some of that glory from the older days and has now lost his fifth fight in six attempts. Perhaps it's time this Shooto veteran called it a career. Another Shooto prospect Takashi Nakakura was able to finish his fight in the first round as well with a rear naked choke on Bendy Casimar. Most expected this fight to be a back and forth war but Nakakura completely dominated. Though both fighters are champions in Shooto no title was on the line in this contest. So Tazawa had a disappointing weekend. First he failed to make weight for his featherweight bout against Hiromasa Ogikubo and then ended up fighting to a draw. Ogikubo remains undefeated and at twenty-one years old could prove to be another Shooto success story and move onto bigger and better things in the world of mixed martial arts. Here are the official results for Shooto ‘Tradition 4′: Shooto Lightweight Championship Hatsu Hioki (17-3-2) defeated Rumina Sato (24-13-2) by TKO (3:32-R1) For more on Shooto click here . | ||||||||||||||||||
| Fields Dynamite!!: Gegard Mousasi vs Musashi Posted: 29 Nov 2008 09:57 AM CST
Gegard Mousasi (24-2-1), winner of DREAM’s 2008 Middleweight World Grand Prix, has officially signed to face four-time K-1 Japan Grand Prix Champion, Musashi (49-28-5-1), in a K-1 rules match at the Fields Dynamite!! supershow on December 31 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Mousasi won the DREAM Middleweight Grand Prix with a stunning first round knockout of Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza back in September. He reached the finals after submitting the dangerous K-1 striker Melvin Manhoef in the first round of the semifinals. The "Young Vagabond" is an extremely talented fighter and in addition to riding an eleven-fight win streak, is also a former amateur boxing champion and has served as a striking coach for current WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko. He’ll have his hands full however against the Japanese warrior. Musashi is a former WAKO Heavyweight Muay Thai Champion and two-time K-1 World Grand Prix finalist. He last appeared at K-1 Fields World GP 2008 and dropped a disappointing decision to Brazil’s Ewerton Teixeira. Musashi has a staggering 83 fights under his belt and isn’t going to be intimidated by Mousasi. Don’t expect this one to go to a decision. Fields Dynamite!! is the New Year’s Eve supershow featuring a smorgasbord of fighters under the umbrella of Fighting & Entertainment Group (FEG) coming together on one night to try and kick the crap out of each other. Featuring participants from DREAM, K-1, K-1 MAX and K-1 Koshien, Fields Dynamite!! is going to have a wide variety of fighting styles and compelling match-ups, and could feature as many as twenty fights. Stay tuned as this massive card continues to come together. | ||||||||||||||||||
