http://youtu.be/DE4s6IE899o Former champ Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida lives in Rancho Palos Verdes and it’s about 37.4 miles from Kings MMA, where current heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum trains. “The Dragon” (22-7 MMA) is seen in this video capturing some of his finer action/acting scenes. Fabricio “Vai Cavalo” Werdum (20-5 MMA) is currently ranked #7 in the pound for pound rankings by Sherdog. The heavyweight champ is widely recognized as the man who decisively beat Fedor Emelianenko by triangle-armbar in 2010.

https://youtu.be/aBLYhKKj32U Sage “Super” Northcutt has been on a rampage with training videos, bending cookware, and now “shocking” and being shocked by a friend in this video. I guess it can even be electric when you’re hanging out with Northcutt (6-0 MMA) when he’s out of the octagon. The Tristar product recently defeated Francisco Trevino (14-2 MMA) of Macaco Gold team via TKO at UFC 192. Northcutt will get back into the octagon for Fight Night 80, December 10th at Las Vegas, NV for his second fight in the UFC.

Holly Holm derailed the Ronda Rousey express back at UFC 193. We’ve heard a lot of support from a great number of fans and fellow UFC fighters alike after her loss. We’ve also seen the flip side of poor sportsmanship after a loss in which Rousey has been blasted with insults for her recent defeat. Past legends and hall of famers that have made it to the pinnacle of the sport don’t lose what took a life time to get with a loss. It takes more than words to get into the mental state of a champion. The reality is trying to prepare for a barrage of insults and naysayers that are waiting like vultures for a Rousey loss, which could be fuel to a fighter who doesn’t care to listen to the critics.

http://youtu.be/Ww1aioW3W_A In the sport of MMA,  one of the many factors heading into a fight is the dreadful weight-cut. Chris Weidman is coming into UFC 194 under 194 lbs. Preparation and discipline were essential for the lighter than normal champ.

Tyson Fury said he would become the heavyweight champion of the world. He was right. The action was limited while Fury worked his jab to control the fight and keep Wladimir Klitschko off balance this Saturday night. Fury connected with more punches landing 86 of 371 punches to Klitschklo’s 52 of 310 punches. The Lancashire puncher ended the reign of boxing’s most dominant heavyweight of the 21st century to capture the WBA Super, WBO and IBF titles in the ESPRIT arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

https://youtu.be/dLjF1rJFQLo Knockouts are the end result of patience, timing, and many moves and sequences that position a fighter to create his/her “right place, right time” scenario.  Sure, we’ve all seen many fighters get KO’d quick into the first round, but when you’re talking about the elite, it’s a chess-match type mental game that doesn’t allow fighters many errors.

http://youtu.be/deR_FRGdTrQ Luke Rockhold, at times, can be a man of many words. In this short video response by Rockhold (via Shootmedia), he attempts to make this a “bilingual bloodbath”  heading up to one of the two title fights on Dec 12th. Rockhold (14-2 MMA 4-1 UFC) submitted Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida by rear RNC (rear naked choke) back in April. All of the former Strikeforce champion’s victories inside the octagon have all been finishes. Chris Weidman’s (13-0 MMA 8-0 UFC) five of those eight wins saw finishes that led to submissions or KO/TKO’s.

What do you expect to happen when you keep heckling a 6’11” athlete in a bar? We are no MMAth professors, but common sense will tell you that unless the heckler is greater than 6’11”, it will probably end in less than favorable circumstances for the instigator.

Former lightweight champion Benson Henderson often had to strip down butt naked and have UFC officials hold a towel in front of the weigh-in crowd to ensure making the 155-pound lightweight limit.
