Manny Pacquiao: Floyd Mayweather too Scared to Fight Me
WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao was quoted in Golzka as stating that Floyd Mayweather Jr. no longer had a reason to avoid a possible fight between the two of them. A few months ago, Mayweather requested Pacquiao to take random drug tests until 14-days before a planned May fight. Pacquiao refused his demand but agreed [...]
Mayweather–Mosley: another sign Mayweather is scared of Pacquiao
Said it before, I’ll say it again. What tha heck is going on with boxing? This fight was so one sided I literally thought Mayweather was in a sparring session. After nearly falling to the Mosley onslaught twice in the second, — which would have been a stunning defeat — he won every minute of [...]
The Jake Shields vs Dan Henderson after fight a black eye for CBS
Post main event brawl? Check. Ratings down 30%? Check. A high priced free agent ready to flee after defeating the high priced free agent that was just signed? Check. Ugly and boring fights? Check. Highlight of the evening was being uncomfortably close to one of King Mo’s dancers without a wad of one dollar bills? [...]
Dana White disgusted with Anderson Silva vs. Demian Maia Fight
While Saturday’s much-hyped UFC 112 event was coming to its anticlimactic ending, the night’s real drama was going on Octagon-side and continued during the post-fight press conference. UFC president Dana White was so disgusted with middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s circus act that he handed the belt to Ed Soares, “The Spider’s” manager, in the 4th [...]
Anderson Silva vs. Demian Maia a Clash in Arabia – UFC 112
The fact that UFC 112 is being held Saturday in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is really like something out of Laurel & Hardy. Here’s hoping there’s nothing wrong according to Sharia law with paying to see two men hit each other. As for the actual fistic business at hand, this has card-of-the-year [...]
Bernard Hopkins avenged a 17-year-old defeat, Roy Jones goes down time for Haye
Former middleweight champion Hopkins, 45, beat Jones by unanimous decision in an ill-tempered Las Vegas bout. The non-title fight erupted into life in the sixth round after Hopkins took a blow to the back of the head. Afterwards, he said: “People will think the punch in the back of my head made me a little [...]
Roy Jones Jr. V Bernard Hopkins – the Sorry state of Boxing
Roy Jones Jr. and spry statesman Bernard Hopkins in the rematch of their legendary 1993 fight a battle Jones won by unanimous decision. It’s sad that a legend like Roy Jones Jr. a fighter the A-List called one of the best boxer of the last decade though he’s best days was in the 90’s still [...]
Georges St-Pierre did what he had to – Chuck Liddell
Former light-heavyweight champion Chuck (The Iceman) Liddell says Canadian Georges St-Pierre did what he had to in beating Dan (The Outlaw) Hardy on Saturday at UFC 111.

UFC 111 Georges St-Pierre – Hopes to win with Class
Georges St-Pierre did his best on Tuesday to make Dan Hardy sound like the most fearsome welterweight he will ever face. And Hardy did his best to convince the assembled media that he agreed. The two were part of a conference call hyping UFC 111, to be held March 27 in Newark, New Jersey. St-Pierre [...]

No word yet on [...]
It was The Manny Pacquiao Show guest Starring Joshua Clottey
This was a fight all about the hype – arguably the best showman boxing has to offer Manny Pacquiao, in Jerry’s world (Cowboys Stadium) which means Cowboy cheerleaders and the new Cowboy cage dancers. The hype worked as 51,000 packed the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas and am still waiting for the PPV numbers which I [...]
Mayweather cast shadow over Pacquiao v Clottey
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has gone radio silent for the weekend. After posting 8-10 updates a day on his Twitter feed and web site, Pretty Boy Floyd posted a brief message Friday morning, and nothing since. “Have a good weekend,” he wrote. “Have fun, live life to the fullest, but be safe doing whatever it is [...]
Brock Lesnar: Can’t wait to fight Frank Mir
Frank Mir issued a formal apology for envisioning Brock Lesnar’s death from fighting-related injuries, but Mir still isn’t sure what the hullaballoo was all about in the first place. From his conversation with SI.com: “When I got called in and they told me, ‘Listen man, this is an issue,’ I kind of had a smirk [...]
MMA, not a Summer Olympics Sport.
Mixed Martial Arts as the name suggests is a combination of all forms of Martial Arts that by the way are already parts of the summer Olympic Games. So, if you already have boxing, karate, judo, pankration, tae kwon and other forms of Martial Arts in the Olympics what is the case against MMA for [...]

UFC 109′s Randy Couture v Mark Coleman: A sign UFC might be in Trouble?
I don’t know about you, but this was one very hard fight to watch: Randy Couture v Mark Coleman fight this Saturday in Las Vegas looked like one very old man (elder statesman) beating the s**t out of another old man. (Sorry, elder statesman) Coleman’s only real success in the contest before being submitted in [...]
UFC 109′s Randy Couture v Mark Coleman: Two guys to Old to Fight
UFC 109 lacks the star power of many recent events, but any card with a pair of active Hall of Fame heavyweights and a rebound match for a tough customer like Mike ‘Quick’ Swick is still terrific. Former UFC Heavyweight champion Randy “The Natural” Couture will finally get in the Octagon against another former Heavyweight [...]
Brock Lesnar returns to UFC
UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar called his recovery from a colon illness a “miracle” on Wednesday.

Ladies and Gentle Men; UFC’ Chandella Powell
It’s Friday afternoon, there’s no major MMA event going on over the weekend, so we thought we’d entertain ourselves by checking out new UFC ring girl Chandella Powell’s hastily thrown together personal website. After all, she seems to be a semi-permanent addition (at least until the UFC decides they want another fresh face) and yet [...]
Mayweather vs Pacquiao Fight Cancellation is all about the Pay Day
There’s no doubt, all the conflicts surrounding the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight is not the usual drama we are use to in a Blockbuster Fight, but, this is not your everyday blockbuster fight. This has been billed to be the biggest fight of all time and both fighters know they have to play it smart [...]
Rachelle Leah A Maxim Bikini Christmas
If you don’t think holding up ring cards at the Ultimate Fighting Championship takes a certain amount of skill, then you never saw Rachelle Leah in action. As an official “Octagon Girl,” Leah strutted her stuff with an oomph that rivaled the martial-arts moves of the fighters themselves. Now promoted to hostess of Spike TV’s [...]
Chandella Powell UFC’s Brand New Jewel (Wicks & Stanton OUT)
After my visit to UFC 107 I was angry and depressed, maybe just angry! I wrote; Where was Arianny Celeste at UFC 107? Boy was I wrong, I thought Arianny Celeste was maybe fired from the UFC just like hottie Edith Labelle before her. I got a call from a friend telling me to go [...]
Where was Arianny Celeste at UFC 107?
On Saturday UFC 107 really, really disappointed me. I went to the Live event for one reason and one reason only. The UFC Octagon Girls. The Octagon Girls were there, but, where was Arianny Celeste? She was no where to be found at UFC 107? Been seeing her on TV and finally got a chance [...]
