Rampage Retires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently according to his official website Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has decided to retire from fighting and concentrate on his acting career.He goes on to say that Dana White has ridiculed his acting career and possibly ruined it for him so before that happens he is going to hang up his gloves.

He also states that his body has had too many injuries and there is now way he could carry on fighting into his forties like Randy.I hope this is all just Rampage venting a little bit as i really enjoy seeing him fight and he is good for the ufc as he is such a character and his upcoming role in the A_Team movie would of brought new fans to the sport.Any thoughts people??

Mirko Cro Cop set to quit???

Apparently Cro cop has been complaining that his body has had enough and he has been training to hard for 20 odd years and perhaps should of quit a long time ago.He has said that he was beaten by a stronger,younger and hungrier fighter and he was not prepared at his age to take risks which no longer makes him the exciting fighter we know and love.I think soon we will get the announcement that Mirko Cro Cop is to retire.!!!

Ufc 103 recap

Quite a good ufc event im pleased to report.First up the ever improving and always entertaining Tyson Griffin vs Hermes Franca, People had been critisising Griffin for his inability to finish fights but he changed all that with a straight right hand to Franca's face and dropped him then pounced all over Franca and put him away with Joe rogan praising his ability to finish someone who hasnt been finished.

New inductee to the ufc Paul Semtex Daley from the uk had the ever dangerous Martin Kampmann to deal with and deal with him he did,some may say it was stopped too quick by the referee but Kampmann was out on his feet after some vicious hooks to the head by Daley who walked away with a first round tko victory.

Junior dos santos Looked very impressive and very powerful against pride legend Mirko Cro cop who finished him with a flurry of vicious blows leaving the pride grand prix champ giving a verbal tap out because a blow to the head left him unable to see.

In the main event we had the return of Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort who had had a 5 year absence from the ufc and was back to top form facing off against the always popular Rich "Ace" Franklin.I was expecting Belfort to win but not in the fashion he did,Midway through the first round he grazed Rich's temple with a shot which dropped rich then just pounced with relentless fury landing blow after blow untill they were unanswered and Rich was out.Vitor is back.......!!!!.

Whats next for Belfort?? does he take a shot at the middleweight title and face off against the king Anderson Silva or does he move to light heavy and take on the cream of the ufc fighters?>either way he faces a tough few fights ahead.

Ufc fight night 19

Well what a start to the great weekend of ufc action this was.Nate Quarry vs Tim Credeur started the night off and started it strongly with Joe Rogan saying it was candidate for fight of the night with both men coming out swinging but with Quarry being just a bit too strong for Credeur looking like he was gonna take him out with one big right hand.Qaurry eventually won via unanimous decision.

Maynard vs Huerta was always gonna be a wicked fight,with both men expending a lot of energy within the first round but eventually Huerta was too durable for Maynard winning via split decision.

Diaz vs Guillard was the fight i was looking forward too the most and it didn't disappoint.Personally i was rooting for guillard as i have a momentous dislike for Diaz and for a few moments in the first round i felt that Guillard might take Diaz's head off but as soon as it hit the deck there was only going to be one outcome and that was another win for Diaz via guillotine choke in the second round.

UFC 105 Randy Couture vs Brandon Vera

Its official the ufc have announced today that Randy Couture is facing Brandon Vera at ufc 105 in Manchester, England.For British fans its not quite the headline they were expecting but it is Couture a living legend who will be appearing and he is always gonna be worth watching.

UFC 103

UFC 103 is coming on sat night and is looking to be a good one.We welcome the return of Vitor Belfort in his comeback fight against Rich Franklin and it is sure to be a good one,Vitor has looked fantastic against his previous two opponent's but Franklin is never to be underestimated.Apart from Anderson Silva he has never looked outclassed.We shall see!!!
The line up also See's the return of Frank Trigg as well as one of my favourite fighters Tyson Griffin who in my opinion is a future Lightweight champ,He came very close to beating Sean Sherk who is the number 2 in the world and i believe another 3-4 fights and he will be ready for a title shot,although Hermes Franca is a great jiu jitsu practitioner i cant see him beating Griffin.Should be good.

Fight night !!!!!!

Fight night is coming around quick and i cant wait,Im not a fan of Melvin Guillards mouth but i am a fan of his explosiveness and cant wait to see him drop the even mouthier Diaz,as for Maynard vs Huerta it'll be a good test for Maynard,it'll be the toughest test of his career but im a big supporter of Mayanrd and can see him doing some damage.!!

Sean Sherk ducks out of UFC104!!!

Sean Sherk has claimed he has an injury and has pulled out of ufc 104,remarkably just hours after he was picked to undergo a random drugs test,Josh Neer has stepped in and will face Gleison Tibau at ufc 104.Now is it a real injury or because he has a somewhat checkered history with drug testing has he decided to pull out before they can test him and then subsequently ban him again...Makes ya wonder.

Matt Hughes resigns

After his unanimous man handling of Matt Serra UFC blog learns that The legend that is Matt Hughes has resigned with the ufc and signed a multi fight contract,No opponent has been announced or a date been set as of yet but we shall see if he can still cut it against the up and comers.

Debut of little Nog

UFC 105 in Manchester, England is to be the place where antonio rogerio Nogueira makes his ufc debut,The ufc light heavy weight once went on an 8 fight winning streak in pride and lots of mma fans are brimming with excitement at seeing this guy in the octagon.Me included.

Randy's new deal

Well after his sterling performance against Nogueira last weekend Randy Couture has been offered a new 6 fight deal,Couture who lost to Nogueira on points but put on a good display could well be 49 by the time he reaches the last of his fights.....What a legend!!!

Fighter/Actor

Dana White has been quoted as saying he thinks fighters who want to branch off and become actors are tw**s and to be fair i agree,first off you have Quinton Rampage Jackson going off to play B.a barracus in the new A-team film and now Heath herring is apparently taking time out to pursue an acting career, i mean please, you should be fully focused on your fighting career and then when you are done then you can take up acting.Plus they don't have any experience in acting so whats the point.Get a life and concentrate on your career you numpty's.
