Bjorn Rebney discusses Tito Ortiz's return to MMA & DUI

bjpenndotcom - January 21, 2014

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz hasn’t fought since 2012, where he lost to Forrest Griffin by unanimous decision. Following that loss, Ortiz retired from MMA only to come out of retirement about a year later to fight former training partner Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in the Bellator cage. Unfortunately Ortiz pulled out of that fight about a week before due to a neck injury.

Ronda: 'Women's MMA No Longer Experimental, We're Winning Fights of the Night'

BJPENN.COM News - January 20, 2014

“I like to have a lot of pressure (on me) when I fight, but I hated the state of fragility that women’s MMA was in before.So, I feel a lot better knowing that that weight is off of me. Not that I don’t like pressure, but I don’t want to have to worry. I am so overjoyed that it’s happened so quickly. The women’s MMA experiment is now two divisions. It’s no longer experimental. We’re winning Fights of the Night, and the fans are excited about it. I’m really happy that the last The Ultimate Fighter (season 18) had guys and girls because it really showed the ratings difference between when the girls are fighting, and the guys are fighting. The girls actually got more ratings so it really, I think, encouraged them to open up a season that’s all girls.”

Joe Riggs: "Nick Diaz is a f**king mongoloid"

BJPENN.COM News - January 20, 2014

“Nick Diaz is a f**king mongoloid. He doesn’t even know what he talks about. He’s a guy who will see a word in the dictionary and just regurgitate the word and put it to no use. It makes no sense what he’s talking about. I’d love to beat the sh*t out of him. Actually, I’d like to box him because he thinks he has good hands, but that’s besides the point.” True, Nick Diaz and Joe Riggs have a storied history. And despite besting the older Diaz brother in their one and only meeting at UFC 57, Joe Riggs still holds a grudge.

When thirty-three year old Luis Palomino and forty year old Jorge Patino stepped into the decagon last night to kick off the main card, I don’t think anybody was expecting the excitement that would follow. Patino and Palomino did the honors of kicking off the main card and set a pace of action that would be hard for the rest of the fights to follow.
