Kimbo looking to fight again


Its official, kimbo slice is looking to fight again with strikeforce. I give him credit for wanting to fight again, but really, the 14 second knockout he recieved from seth proved that he had alot of training to do, or he should just stick to his youtube street fights... Either way, im anxious to see what becomes of Kimbo slice and his fighting career.

Unprofessionalism in MMA?


Something ive noticed greatly is the amount of bad talk and fighters not being professional towards each other. Most commonly in the UFC is where it seems to have been taking place. MMA is not WWE wrestling or any other of that crap, its a SPORT thats gaining reputation greatly and we do not need fighters ruining its reputation. Most namely the whole "Vaseline inccident with Gsp and Bj penn. Gsp wouldve have dominated Penn no matter what, and now for the thousandth time Bj Penn makes excuses after talking down Gsp soo much before the fight. Matt hughes and Sherk have also come out and claimed rediculous things like Gsp cheated durning there fights, how unprofessional! Sore losers is what they are, and Gsp is not to blame, it is his corner man if anybody. And who is sherk to claim anybody's a cheater, he's the one who was on roids or commonly called "Sean the roid shark sherk". Brock lesnar bad mouthed Fedor ng awhile ago to, saying fedor was a bad fighter, and whos brock to be talking? Fedor is probably one of the most reputable fighters in the sport, and Fedor simply responded by saying he wanted to have some vodka with brock, what a nice guy =). The point of my rant is that i dont want MMA to turn into WWE wrestling or any other bs like that, i want it to remain a respectable sport with respectable athletes.

Ufc 95: Sanchez vs Stevenson Predictions


for this upcomming Ufc 95,( im excited to only see about 2 of the fights, but ill cover 3). First of all, this ufc is free on spike =D. The first fight im going to cover is Josh Koshcheck vs Paulo Thiago. Its extremely obvious that Dana only scheduled this fight for Josh to win... Josh Koshcheck is a very skilled fighter and is not on the same level as Paulo Thiago, at all. Koscheck is going win by stoppage in the first or second round, easily.
Comming up to Nate Marquardt Vs. Wilson Gouveia, I think this would be a great fight, if Wilson wasnt such a wildcard. He fights differently everytime and you never know which wilson your going to get. If he does however get on his A game durning this fight, i forsee a very good fight. but for now, i predict Nate to win this bout because Nate is a more consistant fighter than wilson and overall is more skilled.
Now for the Main event fight Diego Sanchez vs Joe Stevenson. Let me start off by saying i do not want to offend Stevenson fans, but Stevenson is kind of a overrated fighter. I do however think he is a very strongwilled fighter with a very good chin, as shown in his fight with Penn, he held up very well for the beating he took. I'm predicting diego Sanchez to win however, diego is a very tough striker, and he hits hard, and he really likes to mix up his striking. I think he is going to completely overwhelm joe stevenson and win Via Strikes in the First or Second.
These were my predictions on the fights of Ufc 95, not the best fight card, at all, but i think for free its a opportunity any MMA fan should not miss.
