Well Strikeforce started their Facebook competition yesterday in order to find their next Ring Girl for the March 5th Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament and it looks like it’s off to a slow start. In fact, unless we’re viewing the page wrong. All we can find is one entry and it’s this girl below:
Her name is Corissa Furr and the plus side is, she’s smoking hot. In fact, enjoy her picture gallery we’ve put together, then go vote for her: here. It shouldn’t be hard as we can find no other entries. And please encourage your girlfriend to enter! This is sad.

Immediately after his hand was raised in the Octagon, this past Saturday night at UFC 126, Jon Jones was told he would be receiving the Light Heavyweight title-shot in just six weeks against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. The news brought Jones to his knees and he accepted the challenge with huge excitement and appreciation after hearing his Jackson’s Submission Fighting teammate, Rashad Evans had to pull out of the title-tilt due to a knee injury. Jones is not deterred from taking this fight, as he manhandled Ryan Bader through two rounds before choking him out with 40 seconds left in the second and seems to have barely endured a scratch, plus he says he’s already in fighting shape. His only concern is to not over-train.
Within minutes of the fight announcement, tickets sales for the UFC 128 bout in New Jersey, (neighboring state to Jones’ home state of New York) were reportedly skyrocketing. And now the betting lines are showing Jones as the favorite by as much as -215.
It’s not that surprising seeing as Shogun hasn’t fought since last May. And though he took the title from Lyoto Machida with an impressive KO in the first round, it has been over 10 months since we’ve seen him inside the Octagon, which almost makes him out of sight, out of mind. Currently all hype is squarely on Jon Jones who appears to be the biggest rising star in the UFC. However, with all the new attention this bout will be getting in the coming weeks leading up to the March 19th Main Event, we expect we’ll see a lot of movement on these lines, so if you think Rua’s experience can beat Jones’ youth then take advantage of his underdog value now which is as much as +175.

In all the excitement over Jon “Bones” Jones getting the title-shot since his fellow Jackson’s Submission Fighting teammate, Rashad Evans has pulled out of UFC 128 due to a blown knee, we didn’t think that maybe someone else turned the offer down.

In all the excitement over Jon “Bones” Jones getting the title-shot since his fellow Jackson’s Submission Fighting teammate, Rashad Evans has pulled out of UFC 128 due to a blown knee, we didn’t think that maybe someone else turned the offer down. Well, Light Heavyweight Champion, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua says Quinton “Rampage” Jackson did just that. Rua told Tatame:
“The UFC thought in other alternatives, but it didn’t worked out. For some reason [Quinton Jackson] didn’t accept [a fight with me], I’ll have to change my training because (Jones is) a lot different from Rashad, much taller, and it’ll be a great challenge. He’s been surprising everybody in the UFC, defeated everybody with easy, and it’ll be a tough fight for me.”
Jon Jones was very confident with taking the fight on six weeks notice at the UFC 126 Post Fight Press Conference. He foremost thanked God for the opportunity and said:
“I usually spend my camp getting in shape, but I’m already in shape, [Greg Jackson] wants me to calm down. He said he can’t have me peak for six more weeks. But I’m not taking time off. Maybe physically I’ll take some time off, but I have a lot of studying to do. Six weeks is more than enough time, especially since I already have a six pack.”
Meanwhile Rampage Jackson, who defeated Lyoto Machida via Split Decision last November plans to return to the cage at UFC 130 against Thiago Silva at the end of May.

Hey, if you’re not even a little gay for Jonny “Bones” Jones, then something’s wrong with you.
This picture makes us wonder where the “Bones” nickname came from.

UFC 126 went down about as we expected.
Let’s say you had a made a “standard” $100 bet on our best values, here’s how you’d have faired:
:: Public money was heavy on Vitor Belfort, but we just didn’t get it. Nothing against Belfort, but one of our top MMA Fix gambling rules is: Don’t bet against […]
UFC 126 went down about as we expected.
Let’s say you had a made a “standard” $100 bet on our best values, here’s how you’d have faired:
:: Public money was heavy on Vitor Belfort, but we just didn’t get it. Nothing against Belfort, but one of our top MMA Fix gambling rules is: Don’t bet against Anderson Silva until proven otherwise (same goes for GSP). By fight-time, the best value we could find for Silva was at -220 on Bookmaker here. So a bet of $100 would’ve earned you $45 in profit.
:: We never understood why Forrest Griffin was the dog against Rich Franklin. This always seemed like a classic Forrest-Griffin-is-all-heart-grind-it-out victory. Which it was. Had you taken the +125, you would’ve profited $125. Had you take the +250 on Griffin winning by decision, you’d have pocketed another $250. And had you taken our “what the eff” bet of a draw, you would’ve dropped $100.
:: Finally, Jon “Bones” Jones at +285 seemed like the lock of the evening. Jones earned the victory and his title shot. A $100 bet would’ve netted you around $35. We pumped this one for way more, but let’s just assume the standard $100 bet.
So if you had bet $100 on all of our suggestions, you would’ve won $455 had you not taken our flier, or $355 if you had. Not a bad night. Special recognition to Friend of Fix Larry Pepe, who nailed all of his picks as well.
