In response to some statements Gray Maynard said about not being too impressed by Anthony Pettis and that save for Ben Henderson, he’s only fought scrubs, Pettis told HeavyMMA:

“I feel bad for the guys in the WEC. He’s downgrading all of the WEC fighters, which are doing very well in the WEC,” said Pettis. “If I’m fighting scrubs, his peers are getting beat by the scrubs I’ve been fighting. I feel that he might a little jealous of my level of success so fast. I’m probably the most famous UFC fighter that hasn’t fought in the UFC yet.”

Maynard is not known for trash-talking but it looks like the lines have been drawn for a good ol’ rivalry between the two Lightweights. Pettis faces Clay Guida this June 4th at the TUF 13 Finale.

Tito Ortiz must remember what it’s like to be in holding so he took pity on Las Vegas murder suspect, Keith Harriman (49) who has been held on 12 Felony Counts in connection with a plot to murder his 27 year old son.

At a preliminary hearing in February, Dominick Harriman testified his father wanted him dead because he told insurance fraud investigators his father’s $160,000 burglary loss claim was a scam to feed a crack cocaine addiction. Dominick Harriman also said his father was angry because he had slept with both his dad’s ex-girlfriend and his ex-wife.
Dominick Harriman was shot at least nine times Aug. 27 at the used car dealership where he worked for his uncle, Wayne Harriman, at Nice Cars of Nevada, 3401 S. Decatur Blvd. The shooter has not been identified.

Bail was set at half a million dollars and Ortiz put up the bond. It was revealed that Ortiz has a long time relationship with Wayne Harriman, a used car dealership owner and the brother to the murder suspect. Ortiz may have felt he needed to help out the brothers as Las Vegas Review Journal reports:

…Wayne Harriman helped bridge a rift between Ortiz and UFC chairman Dana White that led to a six-fight contract.

BJ Penn and Jake Shields Agree to Fight

BJ Penn has taken to Twitter (possibly for some of that Zuffa incentive cash) to call out Jake Shields. Guess, (just like the rest of us) even Penn isn’t interested in that Jon Fitch rematch..

BJ Penn has taken to Twitter (possibly for some of that Zuffa incentive cash) to call out Jake Shields. Guess, (just like the rest of us) even Penn isn’t interested in that Jon Fitch rematch.

Penn tweeted to Shields:

I would never challenge one of Cesar Gracie’s guys, but you’ve been calling me out for years.Let’s do it! I’ll contact Dana

Shields responded with the following tweets:

I’m a BJ fan but let’s get it on. Make the call

even better, let’s make it the first 5 round non-title fight

Penn’s response:

If that makes you feel more confident….. sure.

Arianny Celeste offered a few fitness tips to Mens Fitness and even though they really aren’t too helpful, you gotta figure, looking the way she does, she is some kind of an expert.

Supplement Your Training
“I don’t like to take any crazy, unnatural supplements, but I do use glutamine. I put it in my protein shakes, and it really helps with muscle soreness.”

Give in to Temptation
“if you’re craving something, eat it. Otherwise, you’re going to eat something else that won’t satisfy you, and eventually you’ll eat what you craved anyway. Just don’t overdo it.

Get Back
“I’m definitely a butt girl. I like a guy to have some nice glutes, so he needs to squat and lunge. Muay Thai is also great for the butt—it’s a full-body workout. You can feel your abs and glutes work when you’re kicking. I train with guys, and I’ve definitely slapped a couple around!”

Hey UFC Fans! Quit Making Vancouver Scurred!

According to MMAFighting, the Vancouver police department had requested the UFC pay for extra policing for the upcoming UFC 131 event at Rogers Arena. The UFC has denied the request with their Canada Director of Operations, Tom Wright explaining:

“…While we remain supportive of law enforcement in every city we bring shows to, we weren’t prepared to be ‘treated differently’ than other events/concerts/shows (Canucks, Rolling Stones etc). This is a particularly important consideration when ‘incidents’ at UFC events are typically fewer than other big events. As I explained, if I were the Chief I’d be more worried about Canuck fans (celebrating or crying in their beers) than UFC fans.”

The request came after residents apparently complained of “public drinking, rowdy drunks, and public urination” during UFC 115, Vancouver’s first held UFC event. *Note: That shit happens outside my apartment every night.

Police Chief, Jim Chu wanted to take extra precaution and asked for the funding. But we agree with the UFC that this request is a little excessive. I mean, if Paris Hilton can have a nip slip (*see below) and not fear being ravaged by thousands of testosterone high fans, then you’re safe, Vancouver.

And if you still don’t feel like joining the rambunctious UFC crowd, then you can always stay home and have an old fashioned viewing party:
