After losing for the first time in 14 matches over five years, Yoshihiro Akiyama chose to add a new look to his preparation, working with famed MMA trainer and strategist Greg Jackson.
The Japanese star recently spent time in Albuquerque, New Mexico, training his overall MMA game with the Jackson fight team while getting ready to face Michael Bisping on Oct. 16 at UFC 120.

UFC 120 will set European mixed martial arts gate and attendance records when the show bows at the 02 Arena in London, UFC UK president and managing director of international development Marshall Zelaznik said on a Thursday conference call for the event.
Demand for tickets was so high that UFC recently reconfigured the arena to allow additional seats to be made available. Zelaznik later told MMA Fighting that over 17,000 fans would fill the arena, breaking the record of 16,693 from UFC 105 in Nov. 2009.

Michael Bisping may not be a fan favorite in the US, but few would argue that the British star tends to be among the most interesting interviews in the sport. His brash style combined with a willingness to engage in mental warfare with opponents makes him among the most quoteworthy fighters around.
Now 31 years old and with experience to grow on, Bisping feels he’s finally graduated to a maturity level that can move him to elite status. It’s to the point where he’s comfortable enough turning his words on himself. Take Thursday for instance, when the middleweight contender was asked about making a run at the UFC championship, and he answered with typical directness, and a serious dose of self-reflection.
“I’ve been talking about it a bit recently,” he said. “Obviously in the past I’ve talked about wanting to be the champion, being the world champ. It’s ironic. Maybe in the past I didn’t truly believe it. I was just saying it because it’s the thing you’re supposed to say. But now everything’s coming together.

It wasn’t long ago that reports were firing around the internet stating that Yoshihiro Akiyama had taken his gloves and gone home, after finding out that he’d fight Chris Leben at UFC 113, instead of the injured Wanderlei Silva.

It wasn’t long ago that reports were firing around the internet stating that Yoshihiro Akiyama had taken his gloves and gone home, after finding out that he’d fight Chris Leben at UFC 113, instead of the injured Wanderlei Silva. Of course, despite his despair about the fact he would no longer be fighting “a big name” like “The Axe Murderer”, Akiyama showed up and threw down, only to lose by submission in what was one hell of a thrilling fight (as we predicted no?)
Recently it was announced that Akiyama will once again partake in what should be another entertaining fight, as it was confirmed that the judo star would face Michael Bisping, October 16th at UFC 120. Now, we know what you’re wondering; does Bisping qualify as a big enough star for Akiyama? Well, according to a report from MMA Bay, the answer is yes and then some…
“I am very excited to fight Michael Bisping on his home ground, from what I understand Bisping is popular like David Beckham there, and I am honored. I want to show to the world that Asian fighters can stand toe-to-toe with the world’s best, and I hope to see Asian fans at the fight in London.”
Wow. Beckham huh? (Insert “Bend it like Beckham” joke here). No wonder Akiyama is so thrilled…maybe Posh Spice will be in attendance to really get “Sexyama” amped for the bout. Talk about the star factor aside, this should be a doozy.

Some people say money can’t buy happiness. Those people are broke losers who live with their moms and take the bus to work at Cinnabon. Forget those people. For the rest of us – the ones who don’t want to take all our meals in shopping mall food courts – it’s important to have a little cash in our pockets.
There are two ways you can accomplish that as a pro fighter: 1) Be a main-eventin’, cut-of-the-pay-per-view-gettin’, mainstream-sponsor-havin’, first-class-flyin’, son of a gun, or 2) Fight every single chance you get.
The first option is more glamorous, but the simple fact is that it’s not realistic for 99% of MMA fighters. They can’t all be the best in the world. Some of them sweat and bleed for every penny. They have to make as much as they can, while they can. They have to keep getting in the cage and keep getting paid.
So far in 2010, one man stands head and shoulder above the rest when it comes to putting on the gloves and stacking that paper, and that man is Chris Leben.
