Frankie Edgar‘s recent drop to featherweight and subsequent title loss to Jose Aldo has opened him up to a number of fights at 145.
One of those fights could be against German striker Dennis Siver, who has looked amazing since making the drop from lightweight and could be a potential No. 1 contender down the road.
Here is a head-to-toe breakdown of a potential Edgar-Siver fight, which could grace the main card of any event it’s on.
(And to think, if Joe had done the same thing to Andy Dick, the world might have been spared the AIDS epidemic.)
Do you remember the first time you came across that video of Joe Rogan teaching Georges St. Pierre the art of the spinning back kick? If so, you probably recall watching Rogan obliterate those heavy bags and quietly pondering to yourself, “My God, how many lives Rogan has claimed with that kick in the past?” And while we can’t attest to the exact number of trophy skulls lining the walls of Rogan’s humble abode, we can now confirm that there is at least one, which has likely been converted into a bubbler in the time since.
A video of Rogan in his Taekwondo heyday has been rounding MMA blogs for the past few days now, so in order to help distract you from the realization that your favorite sport is an absolute joke, we’ve thrown it after the jump. It is approximately 20 seconds long, features one strike, and may or may not cause you to shit your pants out of empathy for the poor bastard whose intestines are utterly annihilated with little more than a swivel of Rogan’s hips.

As I watched Uriah Hall’s heel send Adam Cella’s unconscious body crashing to the canvas on the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter, I just couldn’t help but channel my inner Smokey from the cult-classic stoner flick, Friday.Yell…
As I watched Uriah Hall’s heel send Adam Cella’s unconscious body crashing to the canvas on the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter, I just couldn’t help but channel my inner Smokey from the cult-classic stoner flick, Friday.
Yelling at the top of my lungs (and in my worst Chris Tucker impression) it sounded something like this: “Cella, you got knocked the f*** out, man!”
It’s not like we haven’t seen this move before, but there’s just a certain aesthetic beauty to the spin kick that, for me, outshines all other striking techniques.
Hit the jump and check out the craziest spin kick KOs in MMA history.

A bit of mixed news for fans of the featherweight division, as word just broke that Dennis Siver has been forced to withdraw from his UFC on FUEL 7 bout with Cub Swanson for undisclosed reasons. The good news: stepping in for Siver will be Dustin Poirier, an exciting slugger who has picked up end of the night bonuses in two out of his last three contests. Although Poirier doesn’t exactly match the ridiculous offensive output of Siver, you can bet the ranch that this fight will net another bonus for at least one of these gentlemen when all is said and done.
A fellow top contender, Poirier recently bounced back into the win column by beating TUF 12 winner Jonathan Brookins into damn near retirement. Swanson, on the other hand, has been on an absolute killing spree in his last three bouts, finishing George Roop, Ross Pearson, and Charles Oliveira with punches inside the first two rounds. In fact, before Siver dropped out, Swanson stated on his Twitter account that the fight was being lobbied as the potential number 1 contender matchup at 145. Meanwhile, Chan-Sung Jung has apparently fallen off the face of the earth.
After the jump: Full fight videos of Poirier vs. Brookins and Swanson vs. Oliveira, which we secured through completely legal means. We swear. Just don’t tell anyone you got them from us, OK?

Two scary injuries in one day? It looks like The Curse That Shall Not Be Named has awoken from its brief slumber.
The UFC’s latest injury victim is featherweight Eddie Yagin, who was hospitalized on Sunday for swelling around his brain, and will be unable to fight Dennis Siver at UFC on Fox 5: Henderson vs Diaz (December 8th, Seattle). MMAWeekly has the details:
The problem started on Saturday after a usual day of training, Yagin’s manager, Jason House, told MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday.
“He came home after practice, had a headache, started to vomit whatever liquids he drank and then decided to go to the ER the next day,” said House, adding that nothing out of the ordinary had occurred in training. Yagin hadn’t been knocked out or suffered from any particularly hard blows or anything of the sort.

Two scary injuries in one day? It looks like The Curse That Shall Not Be Named has awoken from its brief slumber.
The UFC’s latest injury victim is featherweight Eddie Yagin, who was hospitalized on Sunday for swelling around his brain, and will be unable to fight Dennis Siver at UFC on Fox 5: Henderson vs Diaz (December 8th, Seattle). MMAWeekly has the details:
The problem started on Saturday after a usual day of training, Yagin’s manager, Jason House, told MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday.
“He came home after practice, had a headache, started to vomit whatever liquids he drank and then decided to go to the ER the next day,” said House, adding that nothing out of the ordinary had occurred in training. Yagin hadn’t been knocked out or suffered from any particularly hard blows or anything of the sort.
Yagin’s family told House that there is blood around his brain that is causing swelling, thus, putting pressure on his brain, but they were told by his doctor that he believes surgery won’t be necessary, that the swelling should go down on its own in the coming days.
House stressed that he has yet to converse with Yagin’s doctors himself, but expects that Yagin will be in the hospital for at least the next few days to monitor his condition.
Yagin last competed at UFC 145 in April, where he won a split-decision over Mark Hominick in a Fight of the Night performance. He was originally slated to return against Siver at UFC 151 on September 1st, but that event was canceled, and the bout was bumped to December. So let’s all hope that 1) Yagin makes a full, swift recovery, and 2) that Siver gets a replacement opponent, because the dude is getting seriously jerked around lately.
