MMA DEATH! Man killed in his first amateur fight.

Nigerian-born Pablo Elochukwu, a three-time gold medal winner in the local Ontario grappling circuit. In his first MMA fight for an unsanctioned amateur event, Elochukwu began to show signs of fatigue in between the second and third round it was apparent that was almost completely out of gas.

In the third, the referee stopped the fight after was unintelligenty defending from a ground and pound with very soft hammer fists.  After the round, When he sat down he was offered orange juice, fearing that his blood sugar may have dropped significantly. He then fell off the chair. Paramedics came and he was sent to the hospital where he passed away.

Greatest MMA Pound for Pound BLOODBATH. Fiercest battle and bloodiest fights.

Mixed-martial-arts is a very technical sport. A fighter's level of fighting must not rely in one style. In an MMA fighter's resume combinations like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu integrated with wrestling for grappling and ground games, plus muay thai integrated with boxing, taekwondo and karate for striking is always present and usually impressive. As the name goes for MMA, mixing disciplines and reacting on each style is a pound for pound factor. A world champion boxer got easily submitted with a guillotine choke by a thinking brawler.

That happens to a fighter that thinks one style. Boxers can't hit karatekas due to the distance karate stances make, and will need to improvise. Use wrestling instead to close the gap, tackle down the opponent and establish ground control to impose pounding at will. Being black belt grappler is not enough, a fighter must be clever on stitching techniques of different styles in a given situation. But techniques alone can't finish fights, its raw striking power.

Fighters train everyday to posses these deadly strikes. Once they combine technical fighting with raw power, here comes the blood bath. Fights don't get stopped that easily in MMA. Sometimes when a referee recognizes that the blood doesn't hinder the breathing or the eyesight of a fighter, they will have the fight continue until the round ends and have the cut checked.

One name always rises up when talking about bloody fights. Former UFC Lightweight Champion BJ "the prodigy" Penn is a household name in beating people up. This nat!ve of Hilo, Hawaii was a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion. Penn already fought in numerous 0rganzations around the world. He have this style of showing his supremacy by defeating opponents in all aspects of the fight. Penn is an aggressive fighter that goes toe-to-toe and slugs with the opponent. The only difference? Penn is the one hitting.

A very technical fighter with pro boxing experience, Penn delivers accurate punches on specific targeted areas. Fast kicks and punching combinations with fake takedown attempts confuses his opponents. After beating his opponent with his excellent stand-up striking he takes them down. Penn, a topnotch grappler and very dangerous in controlling opponents on the ground can establish full mount in seconds.

Once Penn gets the mount, he is relentless in his elbow strikes and punches. Hitting an opponent with a powerful elbow strike to the head can immediately open big bloody cuts. Joe Stevenson received a big cut on the forehead when he faced Penn in a UFC Lightweight championship battle. Stevenson ate one of Penn's right elbow late in the first round on a ground an pound situation. One of the nastiest cuts in UCF history. The cut bled so fast and was all over cage, painted the matt pink.

Another Penn victim was his December 12, 2009 fight at UFC 107 when Penn successfully defended his Lightweight title against the dangerous Ultimate Fighter winner Diego "the Nightmare" Sanchez. As expected, in a bloody fashion. Penn delivered a quick roundhouse kick that caught Sanchez in the forehead. Opening up Sanchez's head, showing his bloody skull. Thedoctors stopped the fight and awarded Penn the win.

BJ Penn is definitely the one dangerous fighter that delivers the hardest and bloodiest strikes to watch. With Penn still at the top of the food-chain. More bloody fights will surely come.

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!

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.

2009 UFC Year of Controversy and scandals. The Ultimate Fighting disputes..

2009 UFC Year of Controversy
By: Sifu Joomla

2009 gave MMA fans the best cards there is despite of the numerous fighter injuries and contract problems. A lot of fights were cancelled, but were replaced with a better card. New upcoming fighters making their way and showing their worth. As the mixed-martial-arts sport evolved, fighters grew along with it. Fighters becoming more and more dangerous in their striking skills and on the rubber guard as well. The race on who’s got the best techniques and combo's in reinventing a one dimensional fighter is huge.

Fight Academies and training camps are on a scientific approach in studying different style combinations, then they apply the best combos that suits a given fighter on a predetermined opponent. They tend to mix styles to counter an opponent's strikes. Every fighter's aim now is to finish fights. They can't have the fight to go to the hands of the judges. Fighters train hard to end the fight or else they'll suffer the sad truth on MMA. BAD judging and the so called "Gift decisions" for organization favorites.

MMA is still a growing sport that suffers from its mistakes. In the Ultimate Fighting Championships or better known as UFC these controversies are common. One example. Whenever a fighter is being groomed for a next big event and you'll fight him now, you already lost. Even if you dismantle the opponent in all rounds and it went to a decision. They will not give the loss to the favorite. This year UFC happens to collect their share of controversies, in their biggest events with their biggest names.

Machida ate Shogun’s overhand punch.

One unforgettable controversy was during the October 24, 2009 UFC 104 title defense of current Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto "the Dragon" Machida against the former Pride champion Muay Thai striker Mauricio "shogun" Rua. Machida is a world class karate black belt known for his elusiveness and powerful counter-striking.

Machida's no loss record makes him an impossible opponent to dissect. Machida is very good on imposing his will against an opponent, with the opponent thinking that he is the one dictating the fight. A very killer deception. When Machida and Rua face and squared it off on the octagon, it was different. The one thought to be unstoppable is being owned.

Rua had properly studied Machida's timing and did not fell into his traps. Hitting Machida with his Muay thai strikes. The fight went five rounds with Machida unable to answer. Rua landed the most strikes, but when the judges’ decision came. Rua Lost.

Vera hits Couture with a vicious kick.

Another controversy was the November 14, 2009 UFC 105 Randy Couture Vs Brandon "the Truth" Vera. Couture, a UFC Hall of fame MMA fighter who held UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight championship belts is returning to LHW division. Looking at Couture's UFC record, he can easily get championship fights in the UFC. He was one of the so called "UFC marketing made champions" with the likes of Forrest Griffin. During the fight all Couture could do is push Vera to the fence.

Vera landed very clear damaging leg kicks all three rounds. Couture is a Greco Roman wrestler, but Brandon came out stronger. Brandon easily shoves and pushes Couture away during the clinch. Couture pushed Vera to the fence all night in DEFENSIVE MODE so Brandon can't strike him. Couture made sure Brandon can’t strike him, but ended Couture of not having ANY strikes. He just kept on holding Vera, until even the referee got bored for non-action and had them restarted. Vera's strength was impressive. He can easily escape Couture's clinch, and punish Couture on the way out. Then came the decision. Vera lost.

These are the sad truth MMA fighters have to face. Even if they kill themselves training, once they put themselves in a very bad position. It's over. UFC favoritism is not a fiction but a fact. Dana White doesn't like Roy Nelson to win TUF 10 and he's vocal about it. Kimbo Slice can't fight Mixed-martial-arts, but he is giving UFC quite a revenue. A Dana White favorite Kimbo even has he's own weight class. Whoever wants to fight him have to go to a catch weight.

I say it again, MMA is still a growing sport. The sad thing is, the sport is getting corrupted. But it learns from its mistakes. Boxing went down before when money took over, MMA hopefully won't be next.
