I swear to God if I get cleared by a doctor to go back to training I'm going to think long and hard after possibly working up to some low level amateur bouts in the states.

Also, did you see just how God damned loving bad some of the MMA linked a few pages ago was? I'm talking about going to one of these places where attributes like "Not a really fat guy with a pony tail" and "has been to a gym" would put you head and shoulder's above the competition. Do you have any idea how much fun getting to fight in an Oplot-ish level promotion could be even if you get pasted? Cause I think the answer is, "a whole lot."

Bellator is in discussion with Alberto Del Rio according to Scott Coker.

quote:

Could Rodriguez return to MMA with Bellator next? Coker likes the idea.

"He's had a lot of great MMA fights and I just think that would be a fun time to see him fight some of the guys we have on our roster," Coker said.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



He's a pro wrestler luchadore guy who had a nine-year MMA run that included getting his poo poo wrecked by Cro Cop while wearing his mask. He hasn't fought since 2010 and has fought almost entirely cans, so he's the kind of guy for Coker to pay lots of money.

PRIDE: Are you wearing the mask?

Caras: No, I'm not wearing it. It's impossible. For the other fighters, it's not a problem. They are wrestlers. Or if they kick, they kick the legs, not the head. If I wear the mask, I cannot see. Especially, Mirko has a weird kick from the side. I know people like it but, if I use the mask, my head will explode.

and then, he used the mask

“I was happy with it,” Ortiz continued. “I thought the PR I did prior, I thought (that would help) the number be at least two million.”

I love that even when a journalist adds parenthetical words to try to render Tito more intelligible, it still comes out as mostly gibberish.

Good evening lebs and gentleman. Of course I’m Tito Ortiz. Welcome to press conference for the future of Cristina uh Santos Cyborg. My company Primetime 360 that we started literally last year and I wanna just work on the future of MMA fighters. So the last 15 years of my career, I worked very hard to be as most diligent as possibly could of the future of my career. So now it’s time to work for the future of OTHER people’s careers. With of course my partner George Prejean and Tony and of course our client Cris Cyborg.

I wanted to work on the future of her career. People wanted to see her in the UFC fight at 135 which is literally impossible for her to happen to make that weight. And we’ll show you tonight the reason this is going to happen. But the future of her career and fighting career is in my hands and my hands are as solid around her as possibly and to make sure the future of her fight career no matter what is as successful as possible and tonight we’re going to show that. Uh So we’ve actually worked very hard of working for uh Cris’s future of what she’s gonna be doing of her fighting and we have her fight actually will be happening in April.

Uh, so before that actually uh, I wanted to let everyone know and to reconize for a woman to cut down to a weight 135 were she's been cutting down to 145 to make the weight actually happen. I want all you guy'ses to see, she's in fight shape already right now. She's getting ready for the fight like I say in april 5th. Um, Cris can you please step up and step on the scale. I just want you guys to show you guys

And I got 1:36 in.

Tito Ortiz claims UFC 180 did 80K PPV buys, and he fought Bonnar with one eye

:ortiz:

quote:

“I had a blood vessel that broke in my eye three weeks prior to the fight,” he said. “I thought it was going to go away, but it didn’t go way, and I couldn’t spar for three weeks.

“I just went out and fought with my heart. I was in good enough shape to do my cardio and my focus mitts, and we wrestled a little bit, but that was it.”

...

“I fought great enough to get enough to get a win, and that’s all I had to do,” he said. “I kicked Stephan Bonnar’s rear end with only one eye.”

It's still amazing he got Cyborg signed to an exclusive Invicta contract, despite her also being offered a UFC contract that would've let her fight in Invicta on the side.
