MMA fans have waited a long time to see how the improved Alistair Overeem would fare against ranked opposition.
They finally got that chance at Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum.
In one of the most lackluster main events of the year, Overeem huffed and puffed his way to a unanimous decision victory over Fabricio Werdum in their quarterfinal bout of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix.
While the victory was significant in regards to Overeem’s heavyweight advancement, his performance turned a multitude of believers into critics.
Meanwhile, perennial heel Josh Barnett impressed in his second-round submission win over Brett Rogers. Could “The Baby-Faced Assassin” be the true favorite to win the Strikeforce Grand Prix?
Along with Strikeforce, the UFC has sent the MMA universe into a frenzy with a multitude of live events. Fresh off the heels of UFC 130, the TUF 13 Finale, and UFC 131, there have been plenty of changes in the world rankings.
These rankings rely heavily on quality of competition and defeating previously ranked opponents. They are not based on possibilities––such as fighter A would beat fighter B.

This concept is nothing new to mixed martial arts fans.
Every once in a while, someone will get a title shot who really doesn’t deserve it. In result, MMA fans everywhere are left scratching their heads, asking “What the (expletive)?”
Sometimes these guys get title shots based on their popularity, political reasons, or just because of a lack of legitimate contenders.
Here are 10 fighters who really didn’t deserve the title shot they were given.
A champion has to be at his very best in every fight if he wants to ensure that the belt stays around his wait. During the second half of 2011, we may be treated to seeing all seven UFC belts being defended. Every champ is at a different place in their…
A champion has to be at his very best in every fight if he wants to ensure that the belt stays around his wait. During the second half of 2011, we may be treated to seeing all seven UFC belts being defended.
Every champ is at a different place in their career: From Jon Jones making his very first defense against the grizzled Rampage Jackson to Anderson Silva defending his belt for the ninth time against a formidable Yushin Okami.
Lets take a look at which champs have the best chance of coughing up their belt, shall we?

Charlie may be funny all right, but Dana always seems to have the last laugh
Dana White is perfectly encapsulated by the following alliteration; Bald Bonce, Beer-Belly, Brawler-Boss, Brash Businessman, Big Balls, Big Bucks (any more double-Bs related to the Baldfather, please let us know in the comments section).
The marketing savvy and ingenuousness evidenced by the UFC head honcho in his Vlogs is discussed in my recent piece on “Why MMA Is Becoming More Appealing Than Boxing.”
Indeed, you will be hard pushed to identify another global sport in which followers are permitted such an insight into its competing personalities as MMA.
This is best epitomised by Dana, the frontman of the entire operation and the unequivocal face of the Mixed Martial Arts, who proactively and consciously represents the sport at all available opportunities.
Dana constantly uploads video blogs (vlogs) which chronicle his quotidian activities, particularly leading up to and during major events. When was the last time Don King, or Oscar de la Hoya granted the fans such backstage access into their dealings?
Señor White even has a doll (though he would be quick to assert that it’s actually an “action figurine”) dedicated to him. Drawing upon the same comparison, do Don King and ODLH boast statuettes? And even if they did, would anyone purchase them?
Whilst polarising opinion amongst certain fans, fighters and media men, the preponderance would confess an admiration for the likable CEO. Whilst cynics might detect ulterior motives, he seems to be a genuinely decent bloke and generally appears to look out for the best interests of the fighters and the sport as a whole.
I shall conclude this point with the “humble” opinion of Sean McCorkle, “To all of you that ask me what Dana is like, he’s pretty much exactly like you see him on his video logs. Definitely the coolest and most down to earth dude worth a couple hundred million bucks you’ll ever meet.”
However, this article purports to demonstrate the grand nature of Dana’s existence, rather than a character assessment per se.

The circus known as Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum has finally come to an end.
The main event featuring Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum was a lackluster and odd affair that although many predicted Overeem to win, no one expected the result of the match.
Also featured was Josh Barnett having his way with Brett Rogers, KJ Noons showing a ton of heart, and Chad Griggs and Daniel Cormier looking like the two best heavyweights of the night.
Where do the outcomes of the event lead us now? What have we learned and what was answered tonight? Continue to read and find out!
