A little while back, it was announced that Cm Punk would in fact be part of EA’s Ufc 2, the hotly anticipated Mma game to be released later in 2016.
That wasn’t surprising, despite the fact that he has yet to have his first Ufc fight. After all, as a fighter under contract to the Ufc, they have every right to put him in there, regardless of his experience – and lets face it, his name will draw eyeballs just by being in the game. Love him or hate him, Punk brings exposure everywhere he goes. No way was EA going to lose out on that.
Now, the first image of Punk in the game has been released – as has, by way of an advanced report on the game – his in game rating. And it’s that rating that may ruffle some feathers.
First, here’s the first shot...

With two big announcements made over the weekend regarding upcoming Ufc pay-per-views, it has become apparent that 2013 is indeed the year of the rematch. Eleven events remain in this calendar year – 6 of which are pay-per-views – and four of which are headlined by fighters who have met in the Octagon before. In fact, the year-end card – Ufc 168 – has now changed its’ main event fight into the co-main event, and this is also a rematch. Four of the upcoming five rematches have a belt on the line, though the stakes are also high in the non-title rematch of this list.
So, these facts are interesting, but what do they really mean? Is it now a case of the Ufc running out of ideas so they are settling with fights which have, as shown in the first (or in Velasquez-Dos Santos’ case second) fight, excited fans? Or is it simply unfinished business? For me,...

Before I write another word about Johny Hendricks, I have a confession to make.
I am biased.
I am an Oklahoma State alumnus, born and raised in beautiful Stillwater, Oklahoma. At the dinner table each night as a young Lucky, we thanked God for Henry Iba, Eddie Sutton, and the entire Smith wrestling dynasty (LeRoy, John, Pat, & Mark) with their 7 national championships and 2 Olympic gold medals. I take great pride in the 34 national champions and 134 individual Ncaa championships of my school and alma mater. And our Johny is part of that bedrock.
When I see a Cowboy wrestler with a freaking spitter on stage at a Ufc presss conference, rocking an epic beard, and his easy going folksy accent, I know that’s my guy. That’s a Good Ole Boy. Now with all of that being said, I can objectively and emphatically state:
Johny Hendricks Is Getting Screwed

We return for another Mma podcast. This time we are previewing the massive card in Montreal, Quebec, Ufc 154. How big is big you ask? 13 fights! Including 5 on the main card. The highlight of course is the epic showdown between the Interim Welterweight Champion, Carlos Condit (28-5), against the returning Welterweight Champion, Georges St-Pierre (22-2).
Quite frankly this is a massive fight and one that will affect Gsp’s legacy far into the future. If he wins this fight, then the Anderson Silva fight must happen. If he loses, then Gsp must recapture his belt, perhaps by first fighting Nick Diaz and working his way back toward Condit.
But there are other exciting fights on the card including a #1 contender eliminator between Martin Kampann (20-5) and Johny Hendricks (13-1), the streaking Francis Carmont (19-7) against Tom Lawler (8-4), and England’s very own John Maguire (18-4) fighting Matthew Riddle (10-3).

Georges St-Pierre (22-2) returns to the octagon after a lay-off of 567 days to face the interim champion, Carlos Condit (28-5), at Ufc 154 in Montreal, Canada. Despite already establishing himself as the best welterweight on the planet, this fight will be the biggest and most difficult of his distinguished career. More important than his treble with Matt Hughes. More important than his battles with Bj Penn.
And the reason for that is simple. This fight more than any other will define Gsp’s place in history.
The Challenger – Carlos Condit
Carlos Condit came into the Ufc via the acquired Wec, where he ran rampant over mainly 2nd tier competition en route to a Wec welterweight belt with three title defenses. After transitioning to the Ufc with a close split decision loss to Martin Kampmann (14-2) at Ufc Fight Night, Condit recovered impressively with a 5-fight win streak.
And not just a win streak.

November 17th, this Saturday, Gsp is back! As the promo said, this might be the most anticipated return in Ufc history. It’s been a long time since we’ve last seen Georges St. Pierre in the octagon. The last time we saw him he didn’t go out on a high note. In his fight with Shields, both men didn’t look like they wanted to be in the octagon. So as a result we recieved a very lackluster fight that nearly ruined an extremely exciting card. Many fans, or I should say internet fans, were not anticipated for anymore Gsp fights. Some went as far as to boycott Gsp. Well, their wish was granted when it was announced Gsp had severely injured his Acl.
It’s been a year since Gsp was injured and in his absence a group of new contenders have emerged. Originally Nick Diaz was...

The Ufc's Ultimate Fighter (Tuf) reality TV series returned to our screens last Friday night, but arrived with a twist -- as well as the fastest knockout in its history, at just eight seconds. While the show carried the same format and dangled the same prize at the end of it all, the action was, for the first time, live and pretty much uninterrupted and the season will, in time, be far more interactive than ever before, offering fight fans the opportunity to participate and dictate the fates of those inside the house.
A runaway success since its inception in 2005, this latest tweaking should ensure it remains as such, following the odd hit-and-miss season of late. With change comes a period for reflection, however, and now seems as good a time as any to remember and highlight some of the show's very best success stories, if only to provide inspiration...

For a fleeting moment it looked like Chuck Liddell had changed. He was in shape, finally. He had stopped drinking. His new girlfriend had him on the straight and narrow. In the Octagon, Chuck actually threw kicks for the first time in years, one of which broke Rich Franklin's left arm. Liddell was attacking with purpose. Then it all came undone as Franklin threw a short right hook that caught a lunging Liddell and knocked him out.
Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell was unconscious on the mat, again.
For whatever reason many are trying to put a positive spinon this: "Liddell went out like a champion" or "he went out the way he would've wanted to". Almost as if this was some Western; changing Custer's Massacre to Custer's Last Stand.
Sadly, Liddell was not riding off into the sunset even in ambiguity like the western Shane. You couldn't even compare...
