There were a couple of fighters who got major attention at the UFC Fan Expo in Las Vegas. For one GSP was absolutely mobbed and I couldn't even imagine waiting in those lines, even though he is the fighter is wish I had a bromance with. The other man who got really big lines was Interim Heavyweight Champ, Shane Carwin. Myself and @MMAValor happened to be trying to buy tickets at the Stub Hub booth when we happened to stumble upon less than ten people waiting at that booth to meet Shane, so we said what the hell. I killed time ...
Ok, I felt like I had been waiting and waiting entirely too long for this card to show up in Jersey and all I can say is, eh. We missed Thiago Alves, that is for sure, besides Shance Carwin's cinder blocks the card was lacking that explosive striker that energizes a live crowd. I'm happy for the Jersey boys, Miller, Pellegrino, and Almeida. I did think Miller was going to lose a split decision after I watched it, but who knows. Almeida looked strong coming in for his take downs with much improved striking combinations thanks to Mike Castro from LA ...
This week saw some interesting developments in the world of MMA. The UFC dropped some big news with the signing of 41 year old James "Lights Out" Toney. After speaking out like the brash champ he ONCE was, Dana White and Zuffa ponied up a 4 fight deal to Toney. Why I ask? This a lose/lose proposition for the UFC and for the overall health of Mixed Martial Arts. So Toney is training with Juanito Ibarra, Rampage's former trainer, and could possibly face a real mixed martial artist in his frist fight and not the bearded one. He goes in, gets ...
February 26th some great new professionals to the game of MMA made their way to Atlantic City to show off their skills in front of a great local crowd at Resorts Casino. Even though the crowd was the local Jersey crowd wearing their gym tees, the fighters came from Granite City, Il., Denver, CO., and Gracie Barra in New Hampshire as well as the big time gyms like Fight Factory in Philly. The students at the Fight Factory definitely represented the best, even bringing out their stars. Eddie Alvarez and Tara LaRosa were both in the house even cornering some of ...
So here we are years away from the Tim "I got KOed by Ray Mercer" Sylvia as UFC heavyweight champ. Exactly how has the UFC heavyweight division come so far in a very short time? The answer is what we are all happy about as hardcore MMA fans. The growth and popularity of MMA has attracted athletes of this size and caliber like never before, and we are witnessing just the beginning. And to top it all off the best and the brightest are in the UFC. Brock, Mir, Shane, Cain, & Dos Santos are all talented enough to be the champ. Not to mention the youngsters in ...
From the land down under, comes UFC 110. Here are my main card picks and other musings on the card. When I think of Australia the first thing that comes to mind is the VOICE and wouldn't it be nice if there could be some co-promotion with the announcers? We could finally witness the bromance that has spawned between Mike and Joe via Twitter. and back in the day I really like Midnight Oil. Let's see what picks I can make at a moments notice. I hear gambling makes MMA more fun, so to those that do good luck. The first card of the PPV is most likely ...
Ok so there is much ado about the one particular weekend in May occurring in Las Vegas. The UFC Fan Expo along with UFC 114 is taking place May 28th and May 29th. I figured since the twitterverse is all abuzz why not make it one giant gathering of all the MMA tweeps. Many of you know my friends @drivenmma and @MMAValor who are already planning their stays. The purpose of this post is to submit your email address to matt@hellandbackmma.com in order to gather as much peeps as possible. If we can do this it will save us a ton of ...
So I ordered my Body by Jake Door Thingy last night with the rest of you because we never found the Fountain of Youth. Can you believe a 46 year old is still in that kind of shape and now in the mix of a very stacked Light Heavyweight Division? Not too many people wanted to see that Scorpion King movie Randy did, but do we want to see him move up the ranks in the LHW division where he is sure to be a heavy underdog? I for one, say hell yes. Even though the older I get the ...
In his latest attempt at world domination Dana White's weather controlling machine (you know he has to have one for Abu Dhabi) blankets the northeast in order to force everyone to stay inside alone and have nothing to do but watch two middle age men battle it out in the octagon to see who gets the chance to get beat up by a much younger fighter in their next fight. For the low cost of $50. Enjoy the fights and if anyone feels like a killer back workout I've got a ergonomically designed shovel waiting for you. So Al Gore this ...
