Props: Sherdog.com Quoteworthy:
Mixed martial arts veteran, Phil Baroni — who has competed all over the world and trained in several of the best gyms in the nation, including American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) and X-Treme Couture — talks about a recent workout with Micheal Bisping. “The Count” — who has battled harsh critics ever since winning The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 — is preparing for the biggest fight of his career against former dual Pride FC champion, Dan Henderson, at UFC 100 on July 11. He is currently the underdog with most sportsbooks (+190), as well as among most fans outside of his native United Kingdom. Is it because of the experience factor (he’s clearly overmatched), his perceived arrogant personality, or as Baroni suggests, is Bisping just terribly underrated? We’ll find out in a few weeks, but for now sound off in the comments section below. |
| MMA Quick Quote: Randy Hedderick is ready to beat Tom Atencio’s ass at ‘Ultimate Chaos’ Posted: 23 Jun 2009 07:10 PM PDT
– Randy Hedderick talks about his high profile mixed martial arts debut against Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio at “Ultimate Chaos” from the at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss., this weekend (Saturday, June 27). Hedderick is well aware that an unusual spotlight has already been focused on the lightweight showdown. And he plans to make the most of the opportunity by beating down the the 42-year-old t-shirt mogul. If that is indeed how things turn out don’t think for one second that Hedderick will be the only one who will be “enjoying” the experience. |

| Aleksander Emelianenko vs Blagoi Ivanov fight possible for Sept. 29 Posted: 23 Jun 2009 01:39 PM PDT
Russian-bred heavyweight Aleksander Emelianenko (15-3) is set to battle 2008 Combat Sambo World Champion Blagoi Ivanov (0-0) at the Fighting Mixed Combative — an upstart South Korean promotion inaugural event for on Sept. 29, 2009, according to Emelianenko's official site. Ivanov is likely best known to mixed martial arts fans as the man who recently dispatched of Aleks’ famous older brother, Fedor Emelianenko (albeit in a Sambo competition), earlier this year. Now he has his eyes set on dispatching of another Emelianenko, which will serve as only Ivanov's second professional bout. But before he takes on Emelianenko, Ivanov will first make his mixed martial arts debut at World Victory Road’s Sengoku 9 on Aug. 2, 2009. He will take on hard-hitting Japanese mainstay Kazuyuki Fujita, who has faced off against Fedor himself back at PRIDE 26 in 2003. In fact, Fujita came just a whisker away from putting the consensus number one heavyweight away by rocking him with a thunderous right hook; however, in typical fashion, Fedor was able to quickly recover from the scare and later reclaim the bout with a rear naked choke. Ivanov is certainly not easing in slowly to mixed martial arts — he appears to be jumping into the deep end by debuting against the likes of Fujita and Emelianenko. We'll have to wait till this fall to see if he sinks or swims. Though if he is successful in both attempts he'll likely be lobbying for a fight with Fedor somewhere down the line, which he has already been saying is a desire of his. But first he'll have to make do with Aleksander who should present a tough stern test for the Bulgarian Sambo champion as it is. Emelianenko has most recently been toiling on the European circuit mainly being based in his sovereign Russia, winning his last six contests all by way of first round stoppages. He now looks set to add another notch to his belt and in the process try to avenge his brother’s loss. |
| MMA Quick Quote: Fedor Emelianenko is in complete control Posted: 23 Jun 2009 11:43 AM PDT
– Top-ranked heavyweight contender Josh Barnett hypes his long-awaited fight against "The Last Emperor" at Affliction's third venture, which is set to go down from the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Aug. 1, 2009. There has been a lot of talk over the years that both Emelianenko and Barnett were avoiding meeting in the center of the ring because of the friendship they forged during their years under the Pride FC banner. It appears, however, that the showdown was inevitable — they are the last two men standing under the Affliction banner atop their respective division. |
| UFC continues strong ‘TUF Finale’ ratings with June 20 broadcast Posted: 23 Jun 2009 11:20 AM PDT
The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 9 Finale came out swinging on Saturday night (June 20), garnering the top spot among men 18-34 and 18-49. The Spike telecast drew 663,000 (men 18-34), 468,000 (men 25-34) and 1.2 million (men 18-49) for a combined draw of 2.2 million and a 1.5 overall rating. The event from the “The Pearl” at The Palms Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, peaked at 2.8 million viewers for the main event between Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida. It was the most watched program in all of television in men 18-34 and men 18-49. Those numbers were enough to strike out major league baseball and ace the U.S. Open, which combined could not even equal half of the coveted 18-34 demographic who tuned in to watch the UFC. In addition, TUF Finale ratings for season nine were the highest since season six and the full season of 13 episodes were the highest among men 18-34 since season five, indicating that audiences are still interested in the Spike TV reality show and the finale that concludes it. I can’t wait to see the numbers for season 10. For complete results and coverage of "Sanchez vs. Guida" go here and here. |
