UFC 137 Results: GSP and the 6 Welterweights Who Would Still Beat Nick Diaz

If UFC 137 proved anything, it’s that Nick Diaz is a significantly better fighter was when we last saw him in the UFC. Critics have pointed out that the former Strikeforce champion has never really defeated a top-10 welterweight. That came to a c…

Diaz was an absolute monster last night as he completely destroyed former UFC welterweight and lightweight champion BJ Penn, exploiting what was considered to be the strongest aspect of Penn’s game—his boxing. Never before has Penn been dominated like that in a fight and the performance earned Diaz a title fight against Georges St-Pierre on Super Bowl weekend in 2012.

The hype surrounding Diaz right now is astonishing. Some are even saying that he should be the favorite in his fight against St-Pierre. But the reality is that while Diaz looked amazing on Saturday night, we still haven’t seen him tested in what has unquestionably been his worst area—his wrestling.

The welterweight division may be the most stacked division in the league when it comes to wrestling and there are a handful of fighters who could definitely still take advantage of the weak point in Diaz’s game.

It is my opinion that not only do these six UFC welterweight wrestlers have a chance against Diaz—I believe they’d all walk out as winners against Mr. Diaz.

UFC 140 Fight Card: 6 Famous Techniques Steven Seagal Will Teach Lyoto Machida

Martial-artist-turned-actor Steven Seagal has made waves in 2011 by being in the corner of two of the top fighters in the UFC, Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva. The 59-year-old has been training with the fighters for a few years now, but his presence h…

At those two events, both Silva and Machida ended their fights in astonishing fashion with different versions of the same kick—a front kick to the face—which both Black House fighters learned during their time training with Master Seagal.

The star of Law Man may not look like the same bad ass who whooped ass in Hard to Kill, but results don’t lie and apparently the martial arts training he took decades ago still applies even in today’s age of mixed martial arts.

As we saw at UFC 129 when Machida utilzed a kick seen in The Karate Kid to finish off Randy Couture, Seagal has seen it all and will have his fighter ready to dethrone the current 205-pound champion Jon Jones.

Expect Seagal to take full advantage of his nearly half-century-long martial arts career where he has learned everything there is to know about every martial art in the world. Master Seagal will teach his pupil these six techniques which will leave even the great Jon Jones in shock as Lyoto leaves UFC 140 with the UFC light heavyweight championship.

UFC 137 Fight Card: 5 Reasons We Can’t Wait for Nick Diaz vs. B.J. Penn

The UFC 137 main event has gone through a whirlwind of changes since the original fight between Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz was announced earlier this year. After some miscommunication and hard-headedness from Diaz, the former Strikeforce champion …

Things got even crazier recently when GSP had to drop out of the main event due to an injury, leaving Condit with the tough decision to drop out of the event himself to guarantee his eventual title shot and not create controversy if he were to lose a fight.

With St-Pierre vs. Condit now off, Diaz vs. Penn takes over as the main event of what was expected to be one of the bigger pay-per-view events of the year. Though some fans are unhappy about how things have turned out, the truth is that UFC 137 is still a very stacked card and the Diaz-Penn fight might actually be more entertaining than the original GSP-Condit fight.

The anticipation for Diaz-Penn continues to grow, and here are five reasons why we cannot wait for the UFC 137 main event!

UFC 137 Fight Card: Is It Still Worth the Money Without Georges St-Pierre?

The UFC 137 fight card took a big hit earlier this week when the scheduled main event between Georges St-Pierre and Carlos Condit was scrapped due to an injury sustained by the UFC welterweight champion GSP. With the event now missing its biggest draw…

With the event now missing its biggest draw, critics are beginning to question whether the event will be worth the $44.99 price tag. The knee injury is only expected to keep St-Pierre out for a few weeks, so there is a realistic possibility that we will be seeing the fight between him and Condit as soon as January 2012.

Still, UFC 137 remains an excellent card even without St-Pierre vs. Condit.

Each person will have to make his or her own choice when it comes to buying this and any UFC event, but before you decide to say “no” to this one, please take the time to check out the top five reasons why you should be rushing to your cable box to order UFC 137.

The 25 Biggest Upsets in MMA History

As great as it is to watch the best athletes perfect their craft in dominant performances, few would disagree that the one thing that might be more entertaining is a big upset from an underdog. Other sports have a long-standing history of epic upsets…

As great as it is to watch the best athletes perfect their craft in dominant performances, few would disagree that the one thing that might be more entertaining is a big upset from an underdog.

Other sports have a long-standing history of epic upsets. Hockey has “The Miracle on Ice,” the NFL has the Giants surprising the previously undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl a few years go, College Football saw Appalachian State defeat Michigan, boxing’s Buster Douglas shocked Mike Tyson, and so on.

Many of these moments have gone down not only as great upsets, but also as some of the best moments in the given sport’s history.

Mixed martial arts may not have an upset of those levels yet, but given the unpredictability of the sport, it has certainly had its fair share of shocking moments.

In this list of the top 25 biggest upsets in MMA history, I’ll be examining some of the most important and most unexpected underdog victories that the sport of mixed martial arts has ever seen.
