UFC 115 Prediction: Thiago Vs. Kampmann Could Steal the Show
While speaking with MMA Fix’s Dave Farra late last month, Roy Nelson did his best ‘can’t confirm-won’t deny- even a dimwitted Doberman can put this together’ act, indicating that he would most likely fight Junior Dos Santos next. Well, Mr. Nelson is a man of his ‘read between the lines’ word, as the UFC has […]
While speaking with MMA Fix’s Dave Farra late last month, Roy Nelson did his best ‘can’t confirm-won’t deny- even a dimwitted Doberman can put this together’ act, indicating that he would most likely fight Junior Dos Santos next. Well, Mr. Nelson is a man of his ‘read between the lines’ word, as the UFC has confirmed today that the heavyweight will indeed face the fellow contender Dos Santos, August 7th at UFC 117.
So, there you have it, and with Matt Hughes vs. Ricardo Almeida already confirmed, the main card for the Oakland event has 3 pretty sweet bouts set. It will be interesting to see what kind of game plan Nelson comes out with. Now of course, both Brendan Schaub and Stefan Struve know all too well just how “Big Country” the TUF 10 winner’s fists can be, but Dos Santos also hasn’t had much trouble scrambling opponent’s consciousness with his striking. Someone should really bring Struve in on this as he should be the expert; Nelson bombed out the reedonkously tall Dutchman in 39 seconds, while Dos Santos needed 54 seconds…Wonder who Struve will be cheering for?
Dos Santos hasn’t really had his ground game tested thus far in the UFC, and while he trains with the Nogueira brothers and is reportedly pretty good on the mat, Mr. Nelson is a BJJ black belt (equipped with one of the finest bellies the sport has to offer…). Pretty damn important fight as the winner will probably get in line behind Cain Velasquez for a title shot.

UFC 115: Is Mirko Cro Cop Responsible for the Evolution of MMA?
A superficial look at Chuck Liddell’s career shows a severe decline in his fight results. He’s lost four of his past five fights, three by knockout.

Yet if you ask Liddell how he feels about his current condition, he’ll tell you that he feels that the whole perception that he’s declining has been overblown.

UFC 115 and the 10 Pay-Per-Views That Were Better Than Expected
If Georges St. Pierre fans are sick to tears of having the UFC welterweight champ tossed into the ‘who’s on the juice’ gossip mill, they may have to invest in more mouchoir en papier (that tissue for you anglophone fans), as apparently this undead horse has survived all the GSP vs. BJ Penn II drama after […]
If Georges St. Pierre fans are sick to tears of having the UFC welterweight champ tossed into the ‘who’s on the juice’ gossip mill, they may have to invest in more mouchoir en papier (that tissue for you anglophone fans), as apparently this undead horse has survived all the GSP vs. BJ Penn II drama after all (when it took a real sh-t kicking). Looks like heading into the champ’s rematch with Josh Koscheck, performance enhancing drugs and even ‘grease gate’ are back on the table.
According to a report from MMA Junkie, while speaking at the TUF 12 media day recently (Kos and GSP are next season’s coaches for those of you testing the MMA waters), Koshcheck was quoted saying:
“B.J. Penn and his camp gave me a little phone call. They were saying, ‘Yeah, he’s on steroids. He’s this; he’s that.’ I said, ‘Yeah, there’s a possibility.’ The guy is pretty ripped all year round.”
“I would love to do it; why not?” Koscheck asked. “I think Olympic-style testing would be great for our sport. At least you do it a couple times out from the fight.”
Now of course, St. Pierre vehemently reiterated that he is innocent of all charges, and also stated his desire for Olympic standard drug testing, saying he would even “give my body to science.” Maybe if more rigorous testing is implemented this issue will finally die (although since when do people not talk about PEDs in the Olympics?).
