After a busy week in professional prizefighting, the MMA Wrap-Up returns to look at the frantic chain of custody surrounding the Strikeforce light heavyweight title and ask, are we better off now that Dan Henderson has turned “Feijao” Cavalcante into another one-and-done champion? The answer may shock and horrify you. Probably not, though.

When Tim Kennedy steps in against Melvin Manhoef in Strikeforce this Saturday night, it will have been nearly seven months since his last fight — a narrow decision loss against Strikeforce middleweight champ Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza.
If you ask Kennedy, seven months is much too long without somebody to punch in the face on live TV. And it’s just possible, he’s willing to admit now, that maybe he didn’t handle the layoff all that well.
“I don’t mean to use an inappropriate metaphor, but you know that guy who really wants to go home with a girl, and it’s two o’clock in the morning and the bar’s closing down and he’s just going after everybody? He doesn’t care what they look like or what they weigh, he’s just up for anything? That’s how I’ve been feeling about a fight,” Kennedy told MMA Fighting. “Like, how about you? How about you? Just anybody.”

There are those who would argue that you can tell who won a fight by looking at each participant’s face when it’s over. They’re usually the same people who think takedowns are worthless and jiu-jitsu is some vague form of cheating, so don’t listen to them.
Except just this once they seem to have a point. Both Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann took some damage in the main event of UFC on Versus 3, but it was Sanchez whose face looked like a Picasso that had been left out in the rain by the time it was all over. And you’re telling me this guy won?
He did on the judges’ scorecards, anyway, even if he might have had a hard time convincing the nurses in the hospital of that fact. Since the enduring images from that fight are likely to be ones of a deformed and bloodied Sanchez, it’s hard not to wonder if MMA fans will be any less skeptical.
Now on to Thursday night’s biggest winners, losers, and everything in between.

It’s already Thursday (or, as I like to call it, Friday Eve) and the UFC on Versus 3 fight card is nearly upon us.
If you don’t have your picks planned out according to who did and did not have to get all the way naked just to make weight, why not take a look at how oddsmakers see the action going down and then talk yourself into passionately disagreeing with them? I can’t think of a better way to spend Friday Eve. Seriously, I’ve tried.

It’s possible that seeing what you want to see is a necessary part of the fighter mindset. It’s also possible that, with something like a pro fight, where there’s money and honor at stake, being personally involved makes it impossible for you to be objective.
How else could Jon Fitch take to his Facebook page this week and declare himself not only a clear winner over B.J. Penn at UFC 127, but a victor over the “best BJ ANY of us have ever seen”?
As Fitch saw it, rounds two and three were clearly his. Round one? That was a draw in Fitch’s eyes. As in, the round where he was taken down, gave up his back, and spent most of it simply trying not to get choked. Yep, a clear 10-10 round against the greatest Penn ever, if you ask Fitch.

If you’re one of those people who insist on connecting the dots between every bad thing in the past and every good thing in the present – if you are, in other words, annoyingly positive – then you could say that Brian Ebersole‘s surprising UFC debut, his upset win over Chris Lytle, and the $75,000 bonus check he received for the ‘Fight of the Night’ would never have happened if not for a street fight between some rowdy college kids more than a decade ago.
Picture Eastern Illinois University, September of 2000. Leaves changing. Hormones raging. All the same college campus crap, just set to a slightly different soundtrack.
Ebersole, a third-year college student on a wrestling squad that features future UFC legend Matt Hughes as one of its assistant coaches, has built something of a reputation for himself as a guy who can fight a little bit when he wants to.
