The UFC’s first trip to Vancouver looked to have been a success as the sold out show drew in approximately 17,000 spectators, for a gate of $4.2 million according to UFC president Dana White. White made that announcement, as well as the “Fight Night” bonuses for Saturday’s UFC 115 Liddell vs. Franklin event, which took place at GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Earning $85,000 for their efforts were Carlos Condit, Rory MacDonald, Rich Franklin and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic. The “Fight Night” bonus was $20,000 higher than the $65,000 bonuses handed out at the promotions last event, UFC 114 which took place in Las Vegas.
Carlos Condit and Rory MacDonald each received the $85,000 bonus for earning the “Fight of the Night” honor. MacDonald had been winning the first two rounds but slowed in the third and was caught in the dying moments of the third by Condit as he unleashed a vicious ground-and-pound attack on the Canadian. Referee Kevin Doman stepped in with only 7 seconds remaining to award Condit the TKO victory at 4:53 of the third.
Rich Franklin was given the “Knockout of the Night” award after he put the “Iceman” Chuck Liddell, on ice at 4:55 of the first round. The round was exciting to watch with both men trading hard shots, but Franklin managed to land a short straight right hand dropping Liddell to the mat out cold. It was revealed after the bout that one of the “Iceman’s” high kicks had broken Franklin’s left arm.
The “Submission of the Night” honor was awarded to former PRIDE champ Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic who earned a rare submission victory over Pat Barry. Both men walked away pretty banged up in a fight most critics thought would end with a knockout. Filipovic, who suffered some early knockdowns, was able to press the attack in the third on a tired Barry and dropped him to the mat. The Croatian quickly followed his opponent to the mat, dropping several short punches but quickly sunk in the rear-naked-choke on Barry when he exposed his neck, and forced the submission at 4:30 of the third.

UFC middleweight Chael Sonnen has been talking up a storm, most of it of the manure persuasion, as the days count down to his title fight with champ Anderson Silva.

UFC middleweight Chael Sonnen has been talking up a storm, most of it of the manure persuasion, as the days count down to his title fight with champ Anderson Silva.
At Friday’s UFC Q&A session in Vancouver, Canada (video highlights) Sonnen talked about his upcoming fight with Silva and talked about the Brazilians black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which was awarded to him under the Nogueira’s. He compared having one under their tutelage akin to getting the toy from a Happy Meal.
“When you get him down you’re not out of the woods yet. But he has a black belt from the Nogueira brothers, which is like getting a toy in your happy meal if you ask me. One of them is a punching bag and the other is really just irrelevant.”
“When the music hits and I make the walk to the ring it’s pure focus at that point because I come from a real sport — wrestling. You take me to the Olympic Village and show me the centre of Muay Thai.
“What is Muay Thai anyway? We know what Thai is, it’s short for Thailand. But what is this “Muay” word? So what, he’s good at Muay Thai? It’s like the Crackerjack award he’s got from the Nogueira brothers.
“I am outing the guy. He’s a fraud. He likes to get in the ring and bow — if you bow to him he’ll hit you over your head and take your wallet. I’m the same way, though. I’ll smile at him, and when he turns his back I’ll stick a knife in it. “

Sonnen’s trash talk has been relentless since even before their announced matchup, and some of that talk, some of which has emanated on Twitter.com/sonnench, may cause issues as he runs for office representing the Republican party in the Oregon State Legislature.
A Huffington Post reporter challenged Sonnen and his controversial Tweets.
On twitter.com/sonnench there are memorable tweets such as: “I’m a gangster from Oregon”… “Anderson, you are going to be on your back more than a pornstar with a mortgage”… and what I find most offensive “Ed, pray to whatever Demon effigy you prance and dance in front of with your piglet tribe of savages that I decide not to CRUCIFY you.”
I see this last tweet as racist and xenophobic and was wondering how a candidate of a major party for the State Legislature was getting away with this. So I reached out to some Oregon press asking them why they haven’t challenged this candidate on this type of talk. A reporter I emailed said he would take up the story. A couple of days ago he emailed me and said that Sonnen denied that he ever made the statements and that the twitter account is a fake one.
It will be interesting to see if Sonnen’s ambition for UFC gold will hurt him on the political side, or if pressure from his political career will see him turn down the level of trash talk.
