Warning Dont Talk to Shannon Gugerty when Hes Working - Sat, 04 Jul 2009
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - "Come on Shannon."The first time Shannon Gugerty heard Spencer Fisher talking to him, he almost couldn't believe it. There was no bad blood between the two lightweights before their UFC 90 bout in Illinois last October, so there wouldn't have been any reason for the two not to talk, but it was 30 seconds into their fight that Fisher decided to start up a conversation after Gugerty took him to the mat.
Jake OBrien -Dont Count Him Out - Fri, 03 Jul 2009
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Being referred to as a veteran of the fight game at the age of 24 may make him "feel old", but there's no question that Jake O'Brien has seen plenty in his two and half year career in the Octagon. From dizzying highs to crippling lows and everything in between, O'Brien enters his UFC 100 bout with Jon Jones as a fighter who has been the hot prospect, been the young gun with the "0" at the end of his record, and found out that there is no such thing as invincible - at least not in this game.
TJ Grant -Full Speed Ahead - Fri, 03 Jul 2009
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - If TJ Grant was going to break, this was the perfect time to do it. It didn't matter that he had won 13 of 15 pro mixed martial arts fights, including two out of three in the same arena in Montreal where he stood now on April 18th. This was the one people were going to remember, his UFC debut before 21, 451 fans. Across the Octagon stood Ryo Chonan, a fighter who had already sent the likes of Anderson Silva, Carlos Newton, Mach Sakurai, and Joey Villasenor to defeat. Cornering Chonan was one of Grant's favorite fighters of all-time, Dan Henderson. Now Henderson was telling Chonan how to beat him.
They Call Him Bruce - Fri, 03 Jul 2009
Mike Russell, UFC - If you were to tune in to a UFC broadcast for the first time, one of the first things to likely grab your attention would be the manic ringmaster in the impeccably tailored suit whose feverish gesticulations and frenzied articulations of the pending event's participants' names and vital statistics has the crowd hanging on his every syllable.
UFC BRIT PACK RALLY BEHIND BISPING - Fri, 03 Jul 2009
London, England - An army of Brits currently competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship(R) organisation have come out in force and unanimously backed countryman Michael 'The Count' Bisping to overcome Dan Henderson at UFC 100(R) on Saturday, July 11 in Las Vegas.
Get ready for July 11th with the official UFC 100 commemorative magazine - Thu, 02 Jul 2009
The biggest event in mixed martial arts history is fast approaching, and there's no better way to get ready for July 11th than by picking up the UFC 100 commemorative magazine, which is on newsstands and in bookstores now. UFC President Dana White is on hand to break down the card, the featured fighters of UFC 100 take part in an exclusive photo shoot, and some of the best writers in the game take you beyond the Octagon like never before. This is the only official UFC 100 magazine, and it's as real as it gets.
WHO COULD BE THE NEXT UFC OCTAGON GIRL? - Thu, 02 Jul 2009
Las Vegas, NV - It's the Ultimate gig in the world of sports modeling, and when The Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) decided to search for potential new Octagon Girls™, it reached out to the only magazine devoted to discovering new beauty around the world: Maxim, the largest young men's lifestyle magazine in America. The result? A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for attendees of the UFC® Fan Expo™ to be on hand when the winner of the first-ever Maxim UFC® Octagon Girl™ Search is chosen at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, July 11th, just hours before the lights go down for the biggest event in mixed martial arts history, UFC 100.
Paul Kelly is 'one million per cent confident' in Bisping - Thu, 02 Jul 2009
Elliot Worsell, UFC - Wolfslair disciple Paul 'Tellys' Kelly was never going to back Dan Henderson to beat teammate Michael Bisping. That much is a given. However, it still comes as a surprise when you hear just how unwavering Kelly is in his belief that Bisping will dominate the former PRIDE champion at UFC 100.
Hardonk, Cool Under Pressure, Foils Mugging in LA - Thu, 02 Jul 2009
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - We all know the old adage about 'strength in numbers', but you have to think that the three young men who tried to mug 6 foot 4, 245 pound UFC heavyweight Antoni Hardonk in Los Angeles a week and a half ago were either very brave or very stupid - or both.
Celebrity Fans Chime in on the Appeal of the UFC - Thu, 02 Jul 2009
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - You know you've made it when the stars of stage and screen begin showing up for your events. But unlike the celebrities in attendance at other sporting events, who are there simply to promote a new film, album, or product, or to be seen by photographers, the celebrity fans who show up to see the UFC are just that - fans. And they're as hardcore as it gets.
