| UFC Quick Quote: Randy Couture is accounting for Chuck Liddell’s retirement options Posted: 10 May 2009 10:52 PM PDT
– Former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Randy “The Natural” Couture weighs in with MMAWeekly about the Chuck Liddell retirement talk after Dana White and trainer John Hackleman turned the “Iceman’s” decision to retire (or fight on) into a public spectacle. The soon to be 40-year-old Chuck is just 1-4 in his past five fights with three (T)KO losses. While each party involved has a valid argument for the future of the former 205-pound champ, Liddell himself is the only one who’s keeping tight-lipped on his next move while his two friends battle it out in the court of public opinion. |

| Rashad Evans: Lyoto Machida is better than Rampage Jackson; Interested in Anderson Silva fight Posted: 10 May 2009 09:27 AM PDT
Props: MMAFanHouse.com Quoteworthy:
UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans — who has eight wins in nine attempts inside the Octagon (the “other” fight was a draw against Tito Ortiz — has no qualms defending his 205-pound title for the first time against Lyoto Machida at UFC 98 on May 23, because as he puts it, the undefeated Brazilian is more deserving. “Sugar” was expected to defend his belt against former division champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, however, he had to turn down the bout because of nagging injuries. He is expected to take on the winner of Evans-Machida later in 2009, which would no doubt be a blockbuster pay-per-view (PPV) event … especially if Evans can come out on top. And if Machida and possibly Jackson were not enough to handle, Evans also has middleweight champion Anderson Silva — who also competes at light heavyweight — in his cross hairs. Talk about a tough road ahead … can he pull it off? |
| Shooto: ‘The Final Tradition’ results and quick recap; Gomi rolls, Ishida falls … hard Posted: 10 May 2009 09:11 AM PDT
Shooto celebrated its 20th anniversary with a bang when it got underway with “The Final Tradition” earlier today from the JCB Hall in Tokyo, Japan. The event featured a bevvy of prominent Japanese mixed martial artists, some of whom were returning to the small organization that helped kick-start their careers. One of which was victim of a huge upset, Mitsuhiro Ishida. The lightweight standout — who is also under contract with Strikeforce in the United States — battled with Mizuto Hirota, but was tagged with a left hook that was followed up by a straight right to the face, leaving Ishida dazed and confused on the canvas. Hirota went in to dish more punishment but had done more than enough damage to force the referee to intervene. Premier female mixed martial artist Megumi "Mega Megu" Fuji was also in action. She showed the reason she's so highly regarded by winning her seventeenth straight bout with superior grappling, ending the fight with a key lock early on into the very first round. And former Pride FC poster boy Takanori Gomi finally got back to his winning ways by obliterating Takashi Nakakura with a barrage of strikes in an exciting showdown, scoring the knockout in round two. Gomi — who once stood atop of the lightweight heap — has recently endured somewhat of a fall from grace. He recently lost two in a row, including a split decision loss to Sergey Golyaev (12-7) , which led to people questioning his heart and whether he still had what it takes to compete on an active level. Now it appears he's re-focused and motivated and ready to once again clamber up the lightweight ladder. That wasn't the case for Shooto legend Rumina Sato, who lossed his sixth fight in seven attempts. Sato — who in his prime never sought to compete outside Shooto because he wanted to capture Shooto gold first — had a chance at that today but sadly fell short. He was disposed of by Takeshi Inoue via some nasty ground and pound in the opening stanza in a bout contested for the Shooto lightweight title (143 pounds). Here are the official results for Shooto: “The Final Tradition:”
Takeshi Inoue (16-3) defeated Rumina Sato (24-14-2) by TKO (4:41-R1) |
