Mixed martial artists were was shut out of Businessweek’s 2011 “Power 100” list of the most powerful athletes in professional sports.
The final rankings contained only one combat sports athlete, boxer Manny Pacquiao, who checked in at No. 24.
In 2010, MMA had two reps in the field: former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and Strikeforce star Fedor Emelianenko.

UFC president Dana White seems to have a way of always getting his man. Sure, there’s a few exceptions, but for the most part, when White sets his mind to something, it gets done. His powers of persuasion aren’t simply a product of his personality though. Just ask Brock Lesnar, who at first turned down a chance to coach the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter until the pot was sweetened with a rental house for his family, and some cold, hard cash.
And so on Monday morning, like a good company man, the former UFC heavyweight champion walked into the UFC training center to his begin his duties on the upcoming season of TUF.

Dude. We almost don’t know what to say. Former “TUF 10” contestant and UFC washout Justin Wren apparently went on a “hunting trip” of sorts recently wherein he ripped out the heart of a wild pig with his bare hands (and a smallish knife) and feasted on it, then took a bunch of pictures of himself covered in the pig’s blood, *then* wrote a post on The Underground Forum basically calling Brock Lesnar a pussy and a “yuppy viking” for growing a shitty beard and killing deer with (of all things) a rifle. I mean, good God, what the fuck?
A 30-second look at Wren’s personal internet photo stream and/or his new website tells us he’s not kidding around about this Viking shit. There’s a picture of him on there in a helmet and animal pelts, carrying a warhammer and a battle axe and (possibly) wearing white jeans. White jeans, dude. Anyway, after the jump you can read Wren’s first-person account of slaying the pig. We have to warn you that it includes phrases like “waterfall of steaming hot blood” and “seeing it’s beating heart (and) stabbing it” so, you know, do so at your own risk.

The second Dana White announced that Brock Lesnar would be taking the reins of one of next season’s The Ultimate Fighter teams, it seems that everyone with a keyboard immediately began furiously typing out their manifestos explaining why, in their "professional opinion" the former UFC heavyweight champ will suck as a coach.
Well, not everyone agrees with the popular assertion that the ironically seemingly reluctant UFC star who owned the camera while cashing paychecks from the WWE will sink the TUF ship.
We may not necessarily agree with White’s opinion that anyone who thinks it’s possible that Brock might not deliver as a coach is basically a stupid f*cking idiot, as he so eloquently inferred MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani was for asking about the plausibility during a press conference last week, but we are part of the minority who think it may not be so bad.
Check out contributor Jason Moles’ breakdown of why Brock will do TUF some good after the jump.

UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez said Monday that his surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff was successful, and he’s already working out in preparation for a return to the Octagon.
“Surgery went well,” Velasquez wrote on his verified Twitter account. “Back at Joe Grasso’s lifting legs. Best place to train.”
Joe Grasso is a San Jose-based personal trainer whose Elite Fitness gym Velasquez has credited with helping him to build the strength to deal with bigger opponents like Brock Lesnar. That Velasquez is already back to working on his leg strength there just days after surgery is a strong sign that Velasquez’s shoulder injury hasn’t done anything to his legendary drive and work ethic.

In a related story, Cain Velasquez had shoulder surgery yesterday to repair the torn rotator cuff that he sustained in his fight against Brock Lesnar at UFC 121 in October. (Junior Dos Santos remains skeptical.) The surgery was a success, and Velasquez will be ready to return to action in 6-8 months.
