Matt Mitrione replaces Shane Carwin

Kris P Lettus 11-15-2012 07:09 PM

I love Meathead.. Been over a year since his loss to Kongo.. With the speed he picked up MMA in his first two years, I bet he is solid as fuck with another full year of training under his belt..

Mitrione was also scheduled to fight Phil de Fries on the 29th so hopefully that shatters this illusion that the UFC can't/won't re-book guys when it suits them. I like Matt Mitrione a lot though. I just don't think he has what it takes to challenge Nelson yet.

Dana White disappointed by Bonnar
By Franklin McNeil
ESPN.com

Stephan Bonnar not only failed his UFC 153 postfight drug test, he failed promotion president Dana White.
White has opted not to speak with the recently retired light heavyweight since the test results were revealed.

Bonnar, 35, tested positive for Drostanolone, an anabolic steroid, after suffering a first-round TKO loss Oct. 13 to middleweight champion Anderson Silva in Rio de Janeiro.
A little more than two weeks after the loss, Bonnar announced his retirement from mixed martial arts.

But vowing never to fight in the Octagon again did not soften the emotional blow Bonnar's failed test dealt to White.

"I've known Stephan for a long time and we've had a great relationship," White said Sunday morning after UFC 154 in Montreal. "That's the thing that disappoints me the most.

"I haven't even answered his phone calls. I haven't talked to him since. I don't hate him, but I just don't want to talk to him."

Bonnar was a late replacement at UFC 153. He was asked to fight Silva in a light heavyweight contest after an injury forced featherweight champ Jose Aldo to withdraw from his bout against former lightweight titleholder Frankie Edgar.

"The thing that bothers me most about the Stephan Bonnar thing is that he didn't tell me," White said. "He wasn't planning on fighting. He said that he was practicing to do some pro wrestling."

Bonnar was suspended by UFC for one year. The suspension prevents Bonnar from coming out of retirement, according to UFC vice president of regulatory affairs Marc Ratner.

Bonnar has not spoken publicly about the positive postfight drug test.

It's the second time in his professional mixed martial arts career that Bonnar has failed a postfight drug test.

He tested positive for Boldenone after a unanimous-decision loss in August 2006 to Forrest Griffin at UFC 62.

Bonnar finished his pro career with a record of 15-8.

Former WEC announcer Joe Martinez tapped for octagon debut at UFC on FX 6

Former WEC announcer Joe Martinez will soon make his octagon debut.

If you guys haven't caught it, Fight Factory is a pretty good show. It follows a bunch of different guys from AKA who are at different levels and points in their careers. There's more substance to it than the UFC Countdown/Primetime shows and at the same time it doesn't feel as scripted or piss poor as most other reality shows on t.v.

Dana interview for MMA Fighting -

- Nick Diaz is next in line to fight GSP, also Hendricks will be forced to fight in the interim because "he's in no position to demand anything". GSP asked for the fight....

- Rousey is officially the UFC Womens 135lbs champ and will debut as main event of UFC 157 against Liz Carmouche, Cyborg will get the winner.

- Shogun vs Gustaffson is sketched in as #1 contender bout, but "anything can happen in the UFC"

Next Big Thing 12-06-2012 08:34 PM

I'm happy b/c I want to see GSP/Diaz even though I think GSP is the more well-rounded fighter, but that's gotta be a kick in the nuts to Hendricks. It's basically Dana saying GSP/Diaz will do better business than GSP/Hendricks. They should put Hendricks against the winner of Penn/MacDonald on that same card.

Kris P Lettus 12-06-2012 09:32 PM

Marines ends sponsorship with UFC
December 18, 2012
The U.S. Marines announced that it will not extend its sponsorship of the UFC via ESPN’s Josh Gross (and Stripes.com). The sponsorship with the UFC ended November 30th and the budget for its sponsorship have been assigned elsewhere according to Major John Caldwell, a spokesman for Marine Corps Recruiting Command.
According to Maj. Caldwell via Stripes.com:
“Due to evolving mission requirements, budgetary constraints, marketing analysis and the recommendation of our contracted advertising agency, resources previously allocated to the endeavor have been applied to alternate priorities,” he said.
The decision to cease the business relationship has to do in part with a push by member of Congress to end all sports sponsorships. Earlier this year, the U.S. Army pulled its NASCAR sponsorship. Also, the article infers that the Culinary Union Local 206 may have influenced the decision to pull its support from the UFC.
Via Stripes.com:
“The Marine Corps continues to stress strong personal values in markets that are viewed by young men and women who are interested in military service,” Caldwell said.
The veterans committee of UNITE HERE, a union that represents 250,000 hotel, food service, restaurant, textile, industrial laundry and gaming industry workers, said values were the heart of their argument against the partnership between the Marine Corps and UFC.
Payout Perspective:
The termination of the U.S. Marines sponsorship is a blow to the UFC as its signage and brand was a mainstay during UFC events including the sponsored “Tale of the Tape” and “prep point,” the mat where fighters were greased, during PPVs. It may be that the Marines were not receiving enough of a return on its investment in its sponsorship despite the fact that the UFC’s demo of young adult males is the audience the Marines would likely want. The union influence, if true, is another thorn in the side for the UFC. The UFC must now seek another prime sponsor to replace the hole that the Marines have left.

Well now this is interesting...

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White talked to media members this week (via MMA Fighting) about the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17 and surprisingly, his focus wasn't on his celebrity coaching staff.

Instead, it was on a fighter who has the rest of the cast running scared.

"We have a guy on this season of The Ultimate Fighter, every fight he's in, someone goes to the hospital. The whole house is terrified of this guy. F-- terrified. Everybody. I picked this fight, and this guy is lined up with the guy I'm telling you about, and the guy has a nervous breakdown in the house over the weekend. Has a f-- nervous breakdown. Freaks out and has a nervous breakdown. This guy scared the living s--- out of everyone. It's awesome."

Awesome indeed.

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones will coach a team of up-and-coming fighters against recently-promoted title contender (and former middleweight) Chael Sonnen. TUF 17 will make its season premier on Tues., Jan. 22, 2013 at 9 p.m. ET on the FX Channel.

Has the promotion discovered the next big thing?

Stay tuned.

UFC lightweight champion, Benson "Smooth" Henderson, was one of the WEC's top lightweights before getting placed into the UFC. He proved the WEC doubters wrong, as he became the UFC lightweight champion and has since defended it twice.

Ariel Helwani had a great idea for the Fox 7 (which coincidentally takes place where Strikeforce did most of its shows):

UFC vs. Strikeforce:

Melendez vs. Henderson
Cormier vs. Mir
Mousasi vs. Gustafson
Rockhold vs. Philipou

Not a bad card at all and a good test for each fighter on the card. I could realistically see the Strikeforce guys winning 3 out of 4 of those matchups.
