Seriously, if anyone has something negative to say about Fred Ettish, they can kiss my ass.

Good stuff. I’m anxious to see the complete film.

Yoislandy ‘Cuba’ Izquierdo is a dreamer. Born in communist Cuba under the oppressive Castro regime, Izquierdo dreamed of one day being free and not suffering under the whims of a dictator that controlled his every move. In 2008 that dream became a reality when Izquierdo defected from Cuba and came to the United States. After arriving in South Florida, Izquierdo soon began training to chase after a new dream, the dream of one day fighting in the UFC.

But today that dream is in danger because of the fighter’s previous professional home, Championship Fighting Alliance, (CFA) and what Izquierdo’s manager Alfred Munoz believes are unfair practices of the promotion.

…and it didn’t end well for the knife-wielding attacker. From everything I’ve heard, Guy Mezger beat the guy into a living death and broke the suspects face. Although the fight apparently happened prior to Christmas last month, I found out about it this morning from the Carson’s Corner Radio Show. The fight was described in a forum thread on the UG:

First of all Guy is okay, although he suffered some serious wounding to his hand from the knife. I don’t want to worry anyone with the thread title. HOWEVER, the guy who tried to use the knife on him is much worse off, with multiple broken facial and arm bones from getting his ass literally kicked around a mall parking lot where Guy found him attacking a woman!

Guy intervened in a public assault and got a knife pulled on him. The knife-puller got beaten half to death by the former King of Pancrase in return, and when the cops showed up it turned out he was on parole for some pretty serious charges.

Guy’s hand is said to be badly injured from the knife, but like I said above, the attacker is MUCH worse off. We’ll have Guy on Carson’s Corner tonight to talk about it. The show begins at 8pm EST, Guy will be joining us at around 9:15pm EST.

http://tobtr.com/s/2783525 is the live link for the show! This is one of those “MMA vs. armed attacker” scenarios played out in real life with a former champ – thank god nobody was hurt worse. Tune in later this evening to hear the exact specifics of how it went down.

Crazy stuff! http://tobtr.com/s/2783525 to listen.

Big props to a UFC Legend.

Hmmm…I’m generally not such a big fan of MTV, but they do have some occasionally good documentaries, even though most of them portray a grim outlook for our future based on today’s youth (as shown on MTV, lol). However, this CAGED series show could possibly be good…although there seems to be a good amount of teen drama involved. I can live with that, I like documentaries and it seems like they’re doing a good job of showing the lives of the aspiring fighters. Oh, and damn, one of them just got KO’d pretty bad at the end.

A good night of fights for the UFC in Rio! I am always happy to see Vitor Belfort victorious, and especially so tonight after the weigh-in failure of Anthony Johnson.

Jose Aldo continues to amaze. His knockout of Chad Mendes came at 4:59 of round 1…and it fairly spectacular fashion, with that knee from out of nowhere. Good stuff. Was also awesome to see him run into the crowd and wrestle security guards who were trying to protect him…lol.

Oh, and Rousimar Palhares is still nuts. Awesome, but nuts. He won by tapout due to a leglock, quick.

I’m watching the post-fight press conference as well, but it’s pretty much all in Portuguese, so I have no idea what they’re saying.

Not really a big surprise to me, just judging from looks. The Strikeforce women’s champion Cris “Cyborg” Santos tested positive for “performance enhancing drugs”, a result she blames on taking some kind of dietary supplement to cut weight. Whatever, I’m not sure what this means for her future, but I think Dana White said she’ll be stripped of her championship title, and her last fight has been ruled a “No contest”.

Wow, I’m not sure why Brock didn’t try harder for the takedowns. I’m obviously in no place to coach, but I saw him trying to trade strikes with Overeem way more than I would’ve thought. In fact, I think it was Brock Lesnar who threw the first kick of the fight. I figured on Lesnar charging like a bull at Overeem and driving him to the ground. Regardless, it didn’t work out well for Brock. Overeem hurt him several times with knees to the body, and ended it with a good shin to the liver which crumbled Lesnar to the ground, where Alistair Overeem TKO’d him. Overeem will now face Junior Dos Santos for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Brock Lesnar announced his retirement from MMA in the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.

In the co-main event, Nate Diaz pretty much dominated Donald Cerrone with his boxing. Diaz won via unanimous decision after three rounds.

The rest of the night went like this:

Johny Hendricks def. Jon Fitch via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 0:12
Alexander Gustafsson def. Vladimir Matyushenko via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 2:13
Jim Hettes def. Nam Phan via unanimous decision (30-25, 30-25, 30-26)
Ross Pearson def. Junior Assuncao via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
Danny Castillo def. Anthony Njokuani via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Dong Hyun Kim def. Sean Pierson via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Jacob Volkmann def. Efrain Escudero via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Diego Nunes def. Manny Gamburyan via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

I’ve heard a little bit about it, but purposely have tried to avoid reading too much because I wanted to see it for myself. I was looking for it on Netflix, but Redbox got it first. Right now I’m only 36 minutes into the movie, and so far so good. Somewhat predictable, and not entirely realistic, but what movies ever are? All in all, I think it’s a good movie, and the fact that it is MMA-based makes it even better.

LAS VEGAS AP — Champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be giving up his training schedule, club-hopping and relaxation in his million-dollar country club home when he begins a three-month stay in a Las Vegas jail after the New Year’s holiday.

I hated seeing it happen, even though I didn’t have a favorite for a winner. Big Nog had Frank Mir dazed with punches in the early part of the fight, almost to the point of referee Herb Dean stopping the fight. Ultimately, they ended up rolling around doing some jiu-jitsu, and Frank Mir caught Nogueira in a kimura and broke off his arm from his shoulder. Brutal. Game over. Get well soon Big Nog!

Damn. I am very disappointed that the GSP vs. Nick Diaz fight won’t be happening soon. St. Pierre blew out his ACL and will be out of competition for 10 months according to everything I’ve heard. I was really looking forward to seeing him fight Nick Diaz. The Diaz/Condit fight should be good also, and will be for the interim UFC welterweight championship, but still nowhere near as interesting as Diaz/GSP. Maybe St. Pierre can take these 10 months and put on some weight to move up and fight Anderson Silva for the “Superfight” some people have been talking about for a couple of years now.

Wow, I didn’t expect that to happen. After Miller got the takedown and took round one rather easily, I can’t believe how gassed he was in round two and three. Michael Bisping seemed gassed too, but not bad enough he couldn’t beat on Jason Miller’s head quite a bit. (Here are the stats). Bisping scored a TKO win in the third round when Miller turtled up and just kept taking a beating. Some unfortunate dude on Sherdog forum supposedly put up a $7000 bet for Miller to win. Damn.
