UFC 100 Matchup added

As if the largest MMA event in history could not get any bigger the UFC has gone ahead and added an 11th bout between Mac Danzig and Jim Miller.
To me this match is one that has serious implications for Mac Danzig. Nobody wants to be the first winner of the ultimate fighter cut from the UFC. To me its nearly as bad as being an American Idol winner like Ruben dropped from your label. He lost to Clay Guida, lost to Josh Neer and frankly …

UFC 100 Matchup Analysis: Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Alan Belcher

UFC 100 is fast approaching and so is the debut of Yoshihiro Akiyama in the UFC Octagon. Oddly enough the debut fight is against the very famous spoiler Alan “The Talent” Belcher. Belcher is notorious for spoiling debut’s just like he did Dennis Kang’s back in January.

Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida confirmed for UFC 98

Looks like Rampage Jackson is going to need surgery on both his jaw and his forearm following his unanimous decision victory over Keith Jardine at UFC 96. He will  sit on the sidelines, get healed up and most likely take on the winner of Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida later in the year for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.
Evans vs. Machida  is a very intriguing matchup simply based on the fact that both fighters are undefeated.  While Rashad is the faster of the two fighters, Machida is very elusive …

We are still negotiating the fight,” the elder Penn said. “No date [is] scheduled, but we are thinking late July or early August.”

Personally I’m ok with this because it ups our chances to see Baby J in action at UFC 100 against Kenny Florian and it also buys us …
