‘Shogun’ Rua Say’s Someone Is Getting Their Ass Kicked When He Faces Thiago Silva

Just last month, news broke that former UFC champ Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua (20-6) and fellow Brazilian striker Thiago Silva (14-3, 1NC) were to meet later this summer at UFC 149. It was a bit of a surprise for Rua who had expected to face Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson or Dan Henderson instead. Now that he’ll face […]

Just last month, news broke that former UFC champ Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua (20-6) and fellow Brazilian striker Thiago Silva (14-3, 1NC) were to meet later this summer at UFC 149.

It was a bit of a surprise for Rua who had expected to face Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson or Dan Henderson instead.

Now that he’ll face Silva, a former Chute Boxe training partner, ‘Shogun’ knows that fighting is his job and he’ll look for an exciting fight in Canada noting that someone is getting their ass kicked on July 21st.

(Tatame.com) Why it took them so long to match you up?
Rampage would be my next opponent but then he got injured. They wondered about a rematch against Dan Henderson, but he’s fighting for the title, so they have this dilemma for a while, waiting for a guy and now they got it. They offered me Thiago Silva and it was a surprise to me.

You trained with Thiago Silva at Chute Boxe. How does it feel fighting him?
Actually I’ve always said I don’t like fighting other Brazilians, especially a guy I know like Thiago. I really like him, but we’re professionals and that’s what we do for a living.

What are the expectations for this fight? You have similar styles…
I guess it’s going to be an interesting fight because Thiago likes striking and so do I. It’s gonna be ass kicking. I respect Thiago as an athlete and as a person, I know he’s very good and complete, but I’ll get there prepared.

UFC 149 is expected to take place on July 21, 2012 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Hippies Rejoice: Vermont Becomes 46th State to Regulate Mixed Martial Arts

“Whoooooaaaa…says here this thing is a ‘Rousimar Palhares’. We’re already legally dead.”

Yesterday, while you were making terrible Star Wars jokes and/or mourning the death of MCA, lawmakers in “The Green Mountain State” were busy passing a bill to regulate the sport of mixed martial arts. Vermont is now the 46th state in the United States to regulate our sport.

My initial reaction to this news was probably the same as yours: “That’s nice.” Our second reactions were probably also pretty similiar: Damn, New York. You let the state known for its organic-granola crunching, Birkenstock wearing hippies regulate MMA before you did. Get your shit together. For real this time.

Granted, everything I know about Vermont I’ve learned from pints of Ben & Jerry’s. So let’s read the press release that the UFC issued:

“Vermont’s legislation of the sport of MMA is further evidence of the continued growth and success of our sport in this country,” said UFC Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta. “We are pleased that fans in Vermont will now have the opportunity to watch a live UFC event in their own backyard, and look forward to making that happen.”

“Whoooooaaaa…says here this thing is a ‘Rousimar Palhares‘. We’re already legally dead.”

My initial reaction to this news was probably the same as yours: Vermont isn’t exactly the biggest state in the union, but it’s always great to see a state start regulating MMA. Our second reactions were probably also pretty similiar: Damn, New York. You let the state known for its organic-granola crunching, Birkenstock wearing hippies regulate MMA before you did. Get your shit together. For real this time.

Granted, everything I know about Vermont I’ve learned from pints of Ben & Jerry’s. So let’s read the press release that the UFC issued:

You have to appreciate the optimism, but where exactly will a live UFC event be held in the state of Vermont? Vermont’s most prestigious professional sports team is a Single A baseball team called the Vermont Lake Monsters. Vermont’s biggest stadium, Centennial Field, holds 5,000 people. It’s largest indoor arena, Gutterson Fieldhouse, barely holds 4,000 people. Even the smallest, least interesting UFC cards should expect more than 4,000 people.

I’m personally thinking that Bellator is far more likely to visit Vermont before the UFC does, but I’ve been wrong before.

Of the 48 states with the necessary regulatory bodies to oversee mixed martial arts (I’m not surprised, Alaska and Montana, but I am still very disappointed), only New York and Connecticut do not currently regulate MMA. You’re back on the clock, New York. Try not to screw up this time.
