Ariel Helwani and Alistair Overeem Doing the “Dougie” Dance (VIDEO)

I don’t know what’s up with the MMA industry getting all into the “Teach Me How to Dougie” song recently when it was released over a year ago but Urijah Faber and Jon Jones recently.

I don’t know what’s up with the MMA industry getting all into the “Teach Me How to Dougie” song recently when it was released over a year ago but Urijah Faber and Jon Jones recently put out this fun video doing the dance and now Ariel Helwani invited Alistair Overeem to the MMA Hour studio and asked him to Dougie. It looks like Ariel was attempting to cheer up Overeem who is disappointed in his lackluster performance against Fabricio Werdum at the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix. Ariel thinks Overeem needs to incorporate some swagger into his fights. Ariel is also (surprisingly) a pretty good dancer.

Fedor Made a Movie

Fedor Emelianenko makes his film debut in the Russian suspense thriller, “The Salamander Key”. It’s not that big of news for us because the movie is entirely in Russian so we will probably never see it , but we do wonder… Could this be the reason he lost his fight with Antonio Silva in the […]

Fedor Emelianenko makes his film debut in the Russian suspense thriller, “The Salamander Key”. It’s not that big of news for us because the movie is entirely in Russian so we will probably never see it , but we do wonder… Could this be the reason he lost his fight with Antonio Silva in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament? We’ve seen our favorite fighters like Quinton “Rampage” Jackson take time to make a Hollywood Blockbuster here and even Stephan Bonnar made this ~~possibly really good film~~ and then comeback to the cage with a poor showing. We’re not sure when this flick was shot and if it actually contributed to Fedor’s loss, but it makes a better excuse than this one. Watch the movie trailer below:

The Underground posted a thread with Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix Tournament contender, Fedor Emelianenko saying he plans to train in Russia but wouldn’t mind training with UFC Heavyweight, Shane Carwin. Carwin got wind of the thread and posted this response:

“I would be honoured to train with Fedor. After seeing his CBS special I was impressed with the isolation and hardcore and yet raw training I saw,” he wrote. “Fedor has been a good guy to me. After the Lesnar fight he sent me some very kind words that put things into perspective. He is a great guy and a great fighter. I am going to be travelling for training this time around. I want to take in as much MMA as I can. I hope to make it out to Duke Rufus’s and maybe even a trip to Russia if all things go as planned.”

Shane Carwin is tentatively scheduled for a June return to the Octagon at UFC 131, though an opponent has yet to be named. Fedor Emelianenko will face Antonio Silva in the highly anticipated Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix on February 12th.

Strikeforce President, Scott Coker announced today that Alistair Overeem’s Heavyweight Title is not on the line during the eight-man Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix Tournament. Instead, there will be a separate Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion and Tournament Champion. The winner of the tournament will then go on to fight Overeem for the Strikeforce Heavyweight belt, unless the winner of the tournament is Overeem. In such case, Coker says:

“If Overeem wins, he’s not just the best MMA or K-1 fighter, he can say he’s the greatest martial arts fighter in the world,”

That is, in a world without Georges St. Pierre, Cain Velasquez, Anderson Silva…
