Obviously, even though there have been some tremendous fights to talk about over the last couple of weeks, I haven’t made any posts. That will hopefully change soon. I have been extremely busy with other things, and I also need to get off my ass and upgrade everything on this site.

Off the top of my head, some things I’ve missed.

Tim Credeur and Nate Quarry are both badass.

UFC Fight Night 19 was great.

This season of The Ultimate Fighter looks like it really might be the best one yet.

Mayweather needs to fight someone his size. I was hoping for Pacquaio, but a Shane Mosely fight would be good too.

Herschel Walker signed a contract to fight for Strikeforce? I think it’s awesome, even though others are acting like they don’t care. I like watching these celebrities and non-MMA athletes get in the ring. I say non-MMA, but supposedly Herschel has been training MMA for several years now, and also has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

VITOR! (although I am a big Rich Franklin fan)

I’m sad for CroCop, but the dude is no doubt tough as nails, he took a serious beating, and it looked to me like he got his orbital bone broken, ouch.

Evidently this was some kind of Wrestling vs. Judo grappling match featuring Frank Trigg vs. Bill Simpson. This was a first time seeing this video for me. Thought it was interesting, felt like posting it here. The description of the video says the match took place at Dale Cook’s 1995 ACE World Series of Martial Arts.

“This is awesome; I can’t believe the folks at XCF are putting something like this together for me. The doctors say I could be out for 12-18 months so any kind of money coming in is going to be a huge help for me and my family.” says Corey. Rob Kahn, Hill’s trainer / manager also commented, “It has been an incredible experience dealing with XCF on the Daytona event, I can’t get over the generosity and professionalism the Bland brothers have shown in the promotion of this event.”
