Chris Weidman took down Anderson Silva once, and if given the chance, he would defeat the former UFC middleweight champion again.

Chris Weidman has said numerous times that he knows beating Anderson Silva at UFC 162 won’t define him as the middleweight champion of the world. As a matter of fact, Weidman believes due to Silva’s iconic stature in the sport as the longest reigning champion in UFC history that even with a dominant victory, he […]

Maybe it’s the positively beautiful weather outside, maybe it’s the fact that I’m on my fourth vaportini of the day, but I’ll admit that I started giggling like a ten year-old girl when I heard that a rematch between Mirko Cro Cop and Aleksander Emelianenko will be happening by the end of the year. A TEN YEAR-OLD GIRL, I TELLS YA (Via Fighter’sOnly):
The news comes via Croatian outlet FightSite.hr via Filipovic’s manager Orsat Zovko, also the promoter of CroCop’s ‘Final Fight’ kickboxing show in Zagreb.
Apparently the rematch will take place in October or November under the banner of the new Russian promotion ‘Legend’, which recently staged its first event, headlined by Badr Hari and Zabit Samedov.
“After winning the K-1 WGP title, we had offers coming from all over the world, from Brazilians who were one of the most determined, to Japan, U.S. and Europe. My suggestion to Mirko, after winning his first K-1 WGP title was that he takes a good two months rest before we even think about next match,” Zovko is quoted as saying.
“After intense negotiations in last month, we concluded that he will be fighting at least two or perhaps even three times until by the end of 2013. Each fight has to be a special challenge for him.”
Funny how negotiations with Cro Cop are always described as “intense.” It’s almost as if Zovko didn’t realize that the the HK UMP his client was brandishing throughout the process was for comedic purposes only.
After the jump: Cro Cop vs. Emelianenko 1 in it’s entirety. Because PRIDE.

Needless to say, if you aren’t the least bit excited for this rematch, then you are a worthless noob who should go jerk off to Fight Master and clean up the mess with your Tapout T-shirt. You know, the one that always smells like bitch, you noob.
Cat Zingano‘s injury was a blessing in disguise for the UFC’s flagship Ultimate Fighter series. Women’s bantamweight champ, Ronda Rousey, was completely blindsided by the news of Zingano‘s coaching replacement. When bitter rival Miesha Tate came waltzing through the door on the first day of filming Season 18 of The Ultimate Fighter, Rousey was visibly […]

Then again, as I was informed by a Vietnamese prostitute in a ritual dubbed “seven knots to heaven” during a study abroad semester in 2009, “The thrill comes from the anticipation, not the climax,” so perhaps the UFC is just stringing us along until they surprise us with Jones vs. Silva* (or in a perfect world, Martinez vs. Zimmer II) come August 17th and cause a fangasm visible from outer space is all I’m saying.
In any case, the announcement of Kampmann vs. Condit 2 was made to none other than FOXSports.com, and Kampmann seemed more than excited for the opportunity to put Condit away this time around:
He’s going to have his rematch. It’s going to be a different fight. I’m a different fighter. He’s a different fighter. We had a good scrap last time, and this time it’ll be five rounds. That’ll give me plenty of time to get the finish.
It’s somewhat shocking how much of that quote could be attributed to Bich Nguyen, the Vietnamese prostitute of which I speak, but I digress.

Condit and Kampmann first met back at UFN 18 in the year of my unforgettable (seriously, you can’t scrub away memories) trip to Vietnam, with Kampmann emerging victorious by way of split-decision. The loss, which came in Condit’s UFC debut, snapped an eight-fight win streak for “The Natural Born Killer,” who had built up a reputation as the WEC’s fiercest welterweight in the years prior.
Both fighters are coming off losses to #1 contender Johny Hendricks, although the tale of those fights could not be any more different. Condit suffered a hard fought unanimous decision loss to “Bigg Rigg” at UFC 158, whereas Kampmann was basically shot out of a cannon by Hendricks’ left hand in under 50 seconds at UFC 154. Advantage Condit.
“UFC on FOX Sports 1:2 — Condit vs. Kampmann 2 So What Fuck You If You Don’t Like Our Numbering System” goes down on August 28th from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Who do you like for this rematch, Potato Nation?
