Video: Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin [Utter Dominance]

Dell — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 09:31:54 +0000

UFC 101 was supposed to continue the momentum of UFC 100, which was the biggest event in MMA history as far as mainstream exposure is concerned. However, this event had a total lack of excitement up until the fight you’re about to see. Anderson Silva proved proved he’s the best fighter in the world and utterly destroyed Forrest Griffin, who many assumed would give Silva one of the toughest fights he’s had.

When you watch this video, it’s the closest thing you’ll see to the Roy Jones of the late 1990s… you know… the guy who went into the ring with a complete disregard for his opponents skill and made it look effortless while he dismantled them? Yes… thats what Anderson Silva did to Forrest Griffin.

I’ve heard some people say this knockout wasn’t impressive, but I think it takes a huge set of balls to stand in front of a bigger, more powerful fighter with your hands down and still have your way.

UFC Undisputed Demo Drops Today / Tyson Not A Fan Of “Punch-Out”

Dell — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:38:20 +0000

News for all the sports video game heads out there, the PS3/Xbox 360 demo for UFC Undisputed drops today at 5pm. I’m personally looking toward to playing Fight Night Round 4 a little more, but I’m definitely gonna download this demo later on today. The gameplay looks a little mechanical compared to fight night, but I’m not gonna hold it against them. Below you can check out a video of how the game looks in action.

In other news…. MTV interviewed Mike Tyson about his new documentary and managed to slip in a few questions about video games. Surprisingly, he revealed he’s only played “Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out” once in his life, and he’s more of an action/first person shooter game fan.

Video: Pro Wrestling Moves Performed In MMA

Dell — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 10:30:24 +0000

Have you ever watched a pro wrestling match and wondered if any of their crazy moves would actually work in a real fight? Well the homies over at Fightlinker put together a compilation video showcasing wrestling moves in mixed martial arts competition.

I was a huge wrestling fan growing up (the Monday Night Wars in the late 90s were the most exciting television ever), so this was pretty fun to watch. “The People’s Elbow” at the end had me dying laughing.

UFC Teams Up w/ 50 Cent For Musical Boost

Dell — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 20:22:06 +0000

Ultimate Fighting Championship and 50 Cent have sparked up a little partnership that allows them to use 50′s music in their programming, and in return 50 gets promotion for his new (soon-to-be-failed) album. 50′s fourth major release “Before I Self Destruct” was originally slated for a December 9th release, until they realized no one cared. The album is now being released at the top of 2009.

In the first video below, you’ll see a teaser for Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture (taking place tomorrow night) featuring 50′s new single “Get Up”. Then video at the very bottom of this post shows a meeting between 50 Cent and UFC Prez Dana White.

Shout out to Woooha Inc. for the second video.

“Kimbo Slice Should Be The Secretary Of Defense”

Dell — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:05:49 +0000

Tracy Morgan appeared on Late Night w/ Conan O’Brien and …. if you’ve never listened to a Tracy Morgan interview.. you know it was all over the place. At the end he got completely random and mentioned Kimbo Slice, and of course Conan had absolutely no idea who he was. Check it out….

(and a special shout out for AOL who’s using the video without giving me a link back… because I couldn’t use the exposure or anything….. jerkoffs).

But seriously…

The real reason I made this post is because Tracy Morgan also did an interview on Howard Stern yesterday. This dude is so off the wall.. you HAVE to hear this shit… Hilarious.

this will be the craziest intrview you’ve ever heard…..

Poll: Elite XC Is DEAD; Where Does Kimbo Slice Go From Here?

Dell — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 08:07:11 +0000

Well, the strongest competition to the UFC is now dead, dead, dead …. and it’s all because of the aftermath of Kimbo Slice’s devastating knockout loss to Seth Petruzelli.

Elite XC was already in heavy financial trouble, and hoped that CBS (who owned 20% of the company) would buy out the remaining portion and save the day. However, Seth Petruzelli’s comments that promoters implied he should not take Kimbo to the mat drew an investigation from the Florida State Athletic Commission. That investigation played a part in CBS NOT bailing Elite XC out of financial trouble, which doomed the company.

The biggest question in all of this is… Where does Kimbo Slice go from here?

Dope Kimbo Slice Tattoo Picture

Dell — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 04:36:35 +0000

Now… I’m pretty sure this person might regret getting the tattoo since Kimbo got his ass kicked last Saturday, but it does look pretty cool.

I’m rollin @ the taco meat naps though…they got that part down perfectly.

Video: Wow… Dana White Is PISSED At Gary Shaw

Dell — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 03:26:19 +0000

Here’s a quick rundown for those of you who aren’t familiar with the MMA / Kimbo Slice thing.

Kimbo Slice is new to MMA and Elite XC is a new upcoming fight organization. The powers that be know that Kimbo is their cash cow, and the life of their company is directly affected by Kimbo’s performance, it’s in their best interest that he wins. So… the promoters allegedly approached Kimbo’s opponent and offered him a bonus if he stood up and traded punches with Kimbo (as opposed to taking the fight to the mat and wrestling/grappling/trying submission moves).

The notion is that this gives Kimbo an unfair advantage because he is more likely to win fights in that fashion. The Elite XC are in danger of being brought under investigation as a result. In this video, you’ll see Dana White (the president of rival organization UFC) and he’s absolutely pissed.

This video contains very foul language (but damn if it isn’t fun to watch!)
