UFC Georges St Pierre Champion's heart questioned, why not go with Diaz? Scared homie?

Former Strikeforce welterweight champ and UFC pound for pound welterweight king were suppose to clash in UFC 137 for a battle of champions, originally scheduled October 15, 2011 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. ZUFFA knew that this will be a big sellout since these two guys are both at the top of their divisions. But the thing is GSP is always in a very dangerous position against the bad boy from Cali, Diaz's style is built to NEGATE all of GSP's tools.

This puts ZUFFA in a thinking situation, they don't want to loss the ongoing hype about the Anderson Silva Vs GSP Superfight. Although it kind of went down when people saw how slow and telegraph St Pierre's punching are and he doesn't have power on those hands when he fought Jake Shields. It even became a joke because before that fight GSP said "don't blink", and the people didn't blink and saw what? GSP landed his best shots to a very flat footed guy's chin and nothing happened. People then realize GSP against Silva is irrelevant anymore because it showed he really isn't in Silva's level. So MMA fans are now crying for Silva vs Jones instead.

ZUFFA realized the best opponent to give GSP's credibility back is by fighting the next top guy in the division. But as expected UFC will always find a reason so their prized fighter wont be in a dangerous beat-down situation. Smells like Mayweather Jr or the likes of Lesnar I'm in then I'm out marketingstrategy.

GSP is in danger because..
His boxing is so slow and it won't work against Diaz. Diaz fought Zaromskis and Daley in their own game and he made them look like amateurs. He was able to slip through their fast strikes and countered effectively. GSP is methodical in his approach and wins, he wont fight you standing if your a striker and wont fight grappling if your good in the ground.

* With Penn he used his size since Penn is fast and good in striking, lay and pray style.
* With Kosch he used boxing, Koscheck can out-wrestle GSP. (tho he lost before.. think?)
* With Hardy, tried submitting him but then it showed to grappling world that GSP doesn't know how to pull one of the most basic submission "arm bar". He tried pulling Hardy's arm downwards the body position instead of pulling it up.
* With Shields, box with him since he knows how good Shields control with wrestlers on the ground and his flawless submission. Shields easily manhandled Henderson on the ground.

Ok. So that would mean, he can't box with Diaz it would look like another Silva Vs Griffin, He can't shoot and wrestle because when it comes to the ground GSP knows what this Gracie bad boy can do.

So the question now goes to Mr. Georges St-Pierre. Champions fight champions... Champions seek to fight other champions to prove superiority. Are you into that? or you're just another Mayweather Jr? It's not a question of I can't and won't fight him because... because of this because of that. But the question is will you fight him? Go the Pacquiao way and seek the best, make it happen! Are you scared Homie?

MMA News: Brock Lesnar Diverticulitis rehab update. Is he healthy enough for UFC?

Brock Lesnar is AGAIN having this Diverticulitis medical condition thing. Just before the TUF 13 season will end and facing devastating striker Brazil's junior Dos Santos is getting nearer. LMAO! Hmmm... smells like Floyd Mayweather Jr. It's pretty clear though from the start that Brock is out and won't dare fight JDS. Roy Nelson even said in a lot of occasions that Brock won't fight and is only there for the Ultimate Fighter show's marketing for them to get high TV reviews. Brock is only there to sell a product and the product isn't him. UFC can't let go of him yet and needs to exploit that Brock Lesnar name. But sad thing TUF 13 went down the drain after producing one of the record lowest ratings for Zuffa's reality tv.

"I’m very disappointed. This has not only mentally but this has been very physically strenuous on me, you know, since my first bout with Diverticulitis in 2009. Having to back away from a fight is not something that I think anybody likes to do, surely me, you know, the first time it happened to me and to fall under the same circumstances, I thought I had this thing beaten and I’m very disappointed but getting past that and understand that my health is very important and I got another doctor’s appointment on Thursday and a consultation where we’re going to go over and just try to figure out the best approach to try to handle this and it may be surgery and it may be not. We’re reviewing other options here to try to help me but, you know, I want to get back into the Octagon sooner than later ... It’s not over ... it’s not a career-ending surgery by any means so I just got to weigh out all my options at this time and see if that is the right thing to do or is there’s any other medication that I can be on or any other thing, I don’t know how I can change my diet any more than I have but we’re looking down all avenues right now and I foresee in the near future that I’ll be able to step back in the Octagon."
The one-time WWE star explains his position to The Fight Show with Mauro Ranallo.

Brock Lesnar just went through surgery and is hoping he could recover fast and be healthy again. He is constantly questioned about his skills, now he needs to prove it again. Roy Nelson is waiting!

Fedor Emelianenko Vs Dan Henderson: 5 Reasons people need to see this historic MMA battle.

1. This MMA square off will determine who needs to retire from the sport. Everyone is saying that the great emperor should hang the gloves. We'll see.
2. Henderson's wrestling matches Fedor's Sambo. This is exciting!
3. Can Henderson catch Fedor with the "H-Bomb". Fedor is a tactician and definitely respects that power.
4. Can Fedor still deliver..?
5. Fedor is still relevant and will definitely give ZUFFA excellent revenue when they handle Fedor Emelianenko in fighter/promotion/PPV marketing.

ZUFFA knows how to sell the worst fighter, even if on paper a fighter shows lots of loss record or he gets knocked out in his last fight. With good marketing they can still make you look good... because people buy the stories they read on "Press Releases" thinking those were real news but instead are products being marketed. If Zuffa gets Fedor its a WIN WIN WIN situation..triple win! UFC, Fedor, and the fans.

M-1 and UFC: MMA Pound for pound Alliance?

M-1 and UFC: MMA Pound for pound Alliance?
By: Sifu Joomla

News on the UFC and Holland based martial arts promotion M-1 Global, opening talks on a possible mega-fight event has recently resurfaced. The much anticipated face-off between World Number 1 MMA pound-for-pound fighter Fedor Emelelianenko against UFC's heavyweight champion superstar wrestler Brock Lesnar and the battle of the most equipped technical styled fighters Gegard Mousasi Vs Lyoto Machida will hopefully have the green light. This event will generate Mixed-martial-arts biggest PPV and ticket revenue. M-1 made name for organizing the renowned "World Cup of MMA" M-1 Challenge, a five man team tournament participated by the worlds best fighters representing their country. UFC on the other hand, has all the best signed fighters under their flag. Dana White, Ultimate fighting Championship president is positive in making this mega-fight happen. Nothing can stop the man until the world's top elite fighters battle inside his octagon. One positive endeavor from White with a big hefty payday.

Mega-fights and big pay-per-views. Gegard Mousasi one of M-1 Global's priced fighter, is the current Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champion. Moussasi is a big MMA crowd drawer, he had a very stunning 2009 career after defending his title against ace Judoka Soukudjou and by displaying his top game in Japan's Dynamite event. Moussasi's kickboxing and slick submission will have to deal UFC's karate master Lyoto "the dragon" Machida. Machida's last fight was a controversy. A fight many thought his opponent fellow Brazilian Mauricio Shogun Rua should have won. His last fight maybe a controversy, but once this master of elusive deception enters the octagon an MMA fan will surely have a very technical fight to watch. The bigger the fighter, the bigger the pay.
M-1 Global part owner - World Alliance Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) Undisputed Heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko will have the chance to display greatness by putting a beating on UFC's Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. Lesnar has the strength to nullify technique, he also has the chance to shock the world once he pulls an upset. Emelianenko named number 1 fighter of the decade by Sports Illustrated versus a former WWE superstar will be the biggest money-maker both M-1 and UFC organizations don't want to miss.

Although Emelianenko and Moussasi are signed with M-1 Global's U.S partner - Strikeforce. "It's not that I don't want to talk to M-1. I want to get this done. I want Moussasi, and I want Fedor. I want to do it. And I never say never. They can call me right now, and we can start talking and figure this thing out. I'd love to get Mousasi in here. He should be. He deserves to be." White stated. After Mousasi's interviews saying that he will never be a UFC fighter. The big event will only happen if both promotions agree and when conditions are met. Including M-1 Global co-promoting Fedor Emelianenko's UFC fights.

Marijuana, the other "M" in MMA?

Marijuana, the other "M" in MMA?
By: Sifu Joomla

NO. MMA stands for Mixed-martial-arts and marijuana has no place in this sport. How in the world did toking joints came to the picture? I can’t blame any fighter who smokes weed for positive recreation and relaxation. Unlike alcohol and those drugs made in laboratories, weed doesn't make the toker act like stupid maniacs on crack but instead have a positive smiling attitude. Stoned fighters don't get advantage over an opponent but steroids and other illegal performance enhancing drugs do. MMA fighters on painful chronic illness like migraine use marijuana for pain control and relaxation. Fighters on medical marijuana medication trains without having problems and still put up a good show. MMA marijuana users are being stripped of their wins while steroid stuffed fighters are getting away. Weed is not a performance enhancing drug. In California MMA fighters caught positive in marijuana use faces a three to six-month suspension and $500-$1,000 fine. The fine will never hurt a prize fighter's purse and they can spend the suspension time in training until the next fight comes. In Nevada, drug-related suspensions are treated on a case-to-case basis, fines a six-month suspension and escalates for repeat offenders.

"I’m a fighter. I fight back. I’ll speak out as much as I want on the issue. I believe in fighting for my rights." Nick Diaz said.

One of the most vocal on his pro weed stance is Strikeforce's Nick Diaz. Diaz a Stockton, California native was the first WEC Welterweight champion. He will be fighting on January 31st 2010 for a chance to steal the Strikeforce Welterweight title against dangerous striker DREAM 2009 World Grand Prix Champion Marius Zaromskis. Diaz was scheduled to fight on the August 15th, 2009 "Gina Carano Vs Cris Cyborg Fight" but was cancelled from the card when he failed to show-up in his pre-fight drug test. In Japan Diaz got stripped of his win when he fought Takanori Gomi in Pride 33 160 pound catch-weight battle, which he won by a stunning gogoplata submission. The win was overturned after results show positive presence on levels of THC - Marijuana compound found in a marijuana user's system. Diaz is an excellent boxer, he made name for knocking out Legendary Frank Shamrock. A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black belt under Cesar Gracie. Cesar Gracie himself is no stranger to this marijuana on MMA related issues. March 2006, Gracie was tested positive for Delta 9 THC and was suspended for three months. A very respected Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor, Cesar is a 3rd generation Gracie produced superb submission black belts with the likes of Strikeforce Middleweight champion Jake Shields, David Terrel, and the other herb user Nick's brother Nate Diaz.

December 13, 2006 Ultimate Fighter winner Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez - a very fit and excellent conditioned athlete, was suspended for 3 months when tested positive for Delta 9 THC.

Coming from a successful wins Both Diaz brothers are put to test again, skills will be watch and scrutinized. They have to face their battles inside the octagon and the personal attack to their freedom outside.

Aoki's MMA Pound-for-pound Rude Awakening

Aoki's MMA Pound-for-pound Rude Awakening
By: Sifu Joomla

Dream Lightweight Champion Shinya "Tobikan Judan" Aoki shocked the world when he broke Sengoku Lightweight Champion Mizuto Hirota's arm on purpose then made the dirty finger on Hirota's face and ran around the ring giving the whole of Japan a new year's nasty welcoming. Aoki's very disturbing un-sportsman conduct after the fight overshadowed his superior grappling skills. Aoki the WAMMA undisputed lightweight champion showed sick Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills by submitting Hirota via reverse kimura (arm lock) with both legs on an almost like body triangle controlling Hirota's posture and putting more pressure on the locks.

This Lightweight megafight between DREAM and Senguko champions was one of the highlights on the New Year MMA pound for pound Fields Dynamite K-1 event. A very anticipated lightweight battle that had both fighters on a heated exchange of words, giving more spice and excitement. Senguko's Hirota is a powerful technical striker who posses a one punch knockout power and utilizes his legs and knees as a dangerous weapon. Aoki wasted no time in taking the fight to the ground. He did not give Hirota any chance to throw those vicious strikes. Aoki immediately shoot for a single leg takedown and got successful when they hit the ropes. Pulled Hirota's body down and established full mount position in seconds. Aoki controlled Hirota's right arm by holding the hands at the back of his body giving Aoki the free ticket. Aoki's control gave him open shots on Hirotas head. Aoki pulled Hirota's arm and continued on twisting even after hearing the bones snapped. Hirota did not tap even when he still had the chance, prompting Aoki to continue on his submission. Hirota's MMA lvl of fighting is no match to Aokis' Jiu jitsu. Aoki has already fought big grappling competitions and faced the likes of WAMMA Undisputed Heavyweight pound-for-pound Fedor Emelianenko.

The Aoki middle finger incident and new year's bone breaking treat received a lot of mixed reactions. Aoki went over the line when he broke Hirota's arms even when he heard the first bones snapped. The MMA community is asking the organizations to look into this. Aoki fought on emotions, and it is very very dangerous for an MMA fighter to get emotional. He might loose control and hit the opponent on illegal areas or break some bones on purpose. The very disturbing after fight antics followed when Aoki celebrated by showing the dirty finger to the Japan crowd and pointed his arm showboating the submission win. A rude awakening will come to Shinya Aoki's way when the whole of MMA community and combat sports world rally against his disturbing act of violence inside the ring. I can still recall Aoki calling out BJ Penn and saying he can handle Penn's level of fighting. If that’s the case, give the showboat his fight so he gets to experience the Hawaiian beating. That's awakening.
