:: The books are virtually the same across the board for Yoshihiro Akiyama vs Michael Bisping, but if you think Akiyama has a good shot (we do), grab him at +180 here.
:: We’re looking forward to Carlos Condit vs. Dan Hardy, and think the lines are about right. Be interested to see where the line moves the next couple of days. If you like Hardy, take the -160 here. If you’re high on Condit, then +145 at BetUS is your best value here.
:: And if you like taking the dog in the biggest odds disparity fights of the night (Mike Pyle vs. John Hathaway), grab Pyle at +400 here.

UFC Light Heavyweight Stephan Bonnar takes time out to answer 10 Questions for MMAFix. With a Fight of the Night comeback performance against Krzysztof Sosynski, an exciting new gig as the WEC Color Commentator, hosting “The Ultimate Fighter: The Aftermath” web-series for Spike TV, and another bout on his horizon with Igor Pokrajac in the TUF 12 Finale, we figured he could spare us a bit of his precious time.
1. Given Igor Pokrajac’s RNC win in the first round against James Irvin, how dangerous do you think he is for you on the ground? Could he even get you to the ground? I don’t think you’ve ever been submitted…
SB: I respect his ground, but I’m not too worried. I[have] never been submitted. I am a BJJ black belt under Sergio Penha, and was brought up in Jiu Jitsu under the legendary Carlson Gracie. Also, I’ve really improved my takedown defense. The only guys to ever take me down in a fight have been Rashad, Jon Jones, and Mark Coleman….and now I’m even harder to take down.
2. You had an outstanding Fight of the Night victory over Krzysztof Sosynski (try spelling that name 3 times, by the way). Is it just not a gratifying fight for you unless it’s an all out blood bath? You seem to be known for those.
SB: Yes, that fight was very gratifying. He landed some big punches…I was a bloody mess, then I took him out. It feels good after a fight to be so banged up you have no choice [but] to take a vacation.
3. As our headquarters have been based in Las Vegas, we have been following your training throughout the last 3 years. We’ve caught you at Xtreme Couture, TapOut, Master Toddy’s, Sergio Penha’s, Floyd Mayweather’s gym and we’ve even seen you training with Sityodtong’s Mark Dellagrotte when he’s flown in…Where are you primarily training right now?
SB: I know…I’m a gym whore. For these last couple fights I’ve been with Sergio Penhas gym, One Kick Nicks gym, and PSI (Philippi Sports Institute) for strength and conditioning. I’m happy too. I love my coaches and my team. I don’t feel like anythings missing anymore.
4. How stacked is the UFC Light Heavyweight division currently? Is it tough trying to stay noticed? Do you keep up with all the fighters in the division or say when you got the call for Pokrajac, did you think, “Okay, which one is he, again?”
SB: Ha….no I remembered him. He fought at UFC 110 in Australia with me. And the easiest way to stay noticed in such a stacked division is to put on memorable fights.
5. So you’re fighting in the TUF 12 Finale and you are currently hosting “The Ultimate Fighter: The Aftermath” show on Spike.com. How do you like this season? Who are you expecting in the finale? And what do you think Kos’ chances are against GSP?
SB: This season’s great. What makes it great is good fights. So far the fights have been good, and there are some real characters and talented individuals on this season. I think the GSP vs Kos fight will be very competitive. I believe Kos underestimated GSP’s wrestling the first time out & he won’t this time. What I would really like to see is both guys wrestling negate the other guys ability to get takedowns and they’re forced into a stand up war…..wishful thinking.
6. You obviously hold legendary status with Forrest Griffin for your TUF 1 Finale battle. Can you believe it’s 12 seasons later? Did you have any idea this show would become a diehard machine?
SB: It’s funny….even during the filming of season 1, when I would hear the production staff saying things like, “This piece of shit show will never see the light of day,” and Dana and the UFC didn’t even know if we would get to fight…. In the back of my mind I just had this knowing that it would be a huge hit.
7. How’s the WEC color commenting gig going for you? What kind of feedback are you getting from MMA fans?
SB: I love it. It’s the best job I’ve ever had…a dream come true. The feedbacks been pretty good. It’s a lot like fighting, where some people tell me they love the way I call the fights….and other people think I suck, hate my guts, and hope I rot in hell.
8. You recently tweeted that you will now refer to a “camel toe” as a “Faber chin.” How often do you find yourself referring to a camel toe?
SB: I hope you saw the “Faberkini” it was in reference to. It was a close up pic of a girl in her bikini bottoms which sported Uriah’s face. Right where his chin was on the bikini (and Uriah does have the crease on his chin) coincided with, well……her you know.
9. Your first year wedding anniversary is coming up October 30th. We’re giving you a friendly reminder. How’d the first year of marriage treat you? Don’t worry about giving too extravagant a gift; the first year is paper, so you just have to give her some cash…
SB: Damn…..thanks for the reminder.
10. Finally, you’ve given countless interviews. What question is it that you most loathe being asked and what question have you always wanted to be asked…and why you’re asking that question…go ahead and answer it.
SB: I guess the ones I loathe are all the questions I get on just how awesome Jon Jones is, and how it felt to get my ass kicked by him.
One I’d love to get asked is: What is God’s one and only voice?
In response to recent stirrings that Fedor Emelianenko has called out Strikeforce Heavyweight Titleholder, Alistair Overeem for allegedly choosing to challenge in K-1 rather than face him, Overeem takes into consideration that Fedor’s management, M-1 might be speaking for him and suggests that Fedor should maybe get a reality check.

Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem
In response to recent stirrings that Fedor Emelianenko has called out Strikeforce Heavyweight Titleholder, Alistair Overeem for allegedly choosing to challenge in K-1 rather than face him, Overeem takes into consideration that Fedor’s management, M-1 might be speaking for him and suggests that Fedor should maybe get a reality check.
There was a lot of discussion if this was really Fedor saying that because people where telling that Fedor would never give a reaction like that. I know for a fact that M-1 does most of the talking when Fedor is interviewed in writing so I’m not surprised if M-1 gave this answer. On the other hand it could also be that Fedor made these comments but was not well informed by M-1 about the negotiation with Strikeforce and myself. M-1 is doing a great job of keeping Fedor away of the true reality about what is going on. If Fedor reads the internet especially in the US then he will be shocked how many bad things have been said about him and especially M-1. They singlehandedly destroyed the legacy Fedor had with all their weird demands and strange comments during the year. So I hope Fedor read[s] this and [it] will tell him exactly what happened.
Overeem continues by telling Emelianenko not to blame him but to blame his management team, M-1 for continually holding up negotiations with Strikeforce and says he was not going to wait around for him. Overeem says he committed to K-1 before Fedor ever called him out. Now Overeem is in the Top 8 position in the K-1 Grand Prix 2010 and should be tied up with the organization until early 2011. After K-1, he is expected to face either Emelianenko or the rightful Strikeforce Heavyweight contender, Fabricio Werdum who should be recovered from his elbow injury by that time.

Middleweight Jason Macdonald has signed on for UFC 124 to face Rafael Natal (yeah, we don’t know who he is either). This is the first fight in seven months for Macdonald who was sidelined with a vicious leg-break break incurred from his UFC 113 bout against John Salter. This will be Macdonald’s 3rd UFC fight in a row taking place in Canada since he was re-contracted with the promotion. And before he was cut in 2009, he had lost to Nate Quarry in Montreal at UFC 97. We realize that Macdonald is a Canada native, but by only booking him for Canada based fights, is Dana White just using him to sell tickets to the local fan base? Are White and Joe Silva essentially saying no one in the States really cares about you Jason Macdonald? And do you? Do you care?
