Minotauro Nogueira For the Love of the Game

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – Fight fans can be a fickle group. If an athlete wins all the time, all is well. But if he loses one fight, and all of a sudden the sky is falling. Never was this phenomenon more evident than on the morning after Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira’s second round TKO loss to Frank Mir in December of 2008.

As Velasquez readies for Minotauro, the Goal remains Unchanged

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – If you go by the numbers, Cain Velasquez should be overwhelmed. But he’s not.
If you look at the man who will be facing him in the Octagon this weekend, the legendary “Minotauro” Nogueira, you may think Velasquez will be looking for the first plane out of Sydney, Australia before the bell rings. But he’s not.

Anthony Perosh: Ready, Able

SYDNEY, February 18 – Twenty-four hours ago Anthony Perosh was training at his gym in Sydney, with half an eye on a stopwatch and the other on the scales. Scaling a trim and fit 215-pounds at the time, Perosh was preparing friends and halfway through the process of cutting down to light heavyweight, the division he’s campaigned in for his last seven bouts.

Michael Bisping: Ready to drop the axe

Elliot Worsell, UFC – The date was November 14, 2009 and the opponent was Denis Kang. For Britain’s Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping, nine minutes with Kang was enough to transfer negative thoughts to positive ones and, crucially, restore every ounce of his crumbled confidence.

Reinventing Wanderlei Silva

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – With all due respect to the 1986-89 version of Mike Tyson, from August of 2000 to October of 2004, Wanderlei Silva was the baddest man on the planet.
15-0-1 with 1 no contest during that period, the man dubbed ‘The Axe Murderer’ was a tornado of terror in Japanese rings for the PRIDE organization, defeating the likes of Kazushi Sakuraba (three times), Quinton Jackson (twice), Dan Henderson, Ikuhisa Minowa, and Guy Mezger along the way.
