Roger Huerta is damn good and other UFC news

J-Mo J-Mo posted 12/13/2007 from mvn.com

Roger Huerta scored his fifth victory of the year Saturday night in the Octagon, but it wasn’t easy. Huerta was on his way to a unanimous decision loss to Clay Guida. Guida was on top in all three judges’ scorecards and Huerta knew he had to pull out something big. He did just that by submitting Guida with a rear naked choke at :51 of round three.

Does a Liddell victory even matter?
Does a Liddell victory even matter?

J-Mo J-Mo posted 12/27/2007 from mvn.com

Even though the Chuck Liddell-Wanderlei Silva fight this Saturday is the most anticipated fight in UFC history, the outcome might not even mean anything. Both fighters are coming off of two straight losses, but Liddell’s losses have been much more publicized and in far greater shocking fashion. His loss to Rampage Jackson came at a time when Liddell was the face of the UFC.

Chuck Liddell shocks the UFC...and me too

J-Mo J-Mo posted 12/31/2007 from mvn.com

On Thursday, in this very column, I wrote that even if Chuck Liddell beat Wanderlei Silva it might not even matter. Well, after Chuck put in his 15 minutes on Saturday night, I was proven completely wrong.

Georges St-Pierre=The Best Fighter in the World
Georges St-Pierre=The Best Fighter in the World

J-Mo J-Mo posted 12/31/2007 from mvn.com

I have a question for my most loyal reader, E-ROC. Did Georges St-Pierre finally prove something to you on Saturday night? I will answer for you: he absolutely did. GSP beat Matt Hughes at 4:54 of the second round by verbal submission via an armbar. It wasn’t a surprise that St-Pierre beat Hughes to win the interim Welterweight Championship but the fashion in which he did it.

The Nightmare may continue for Diego Sanchez
The Nightmare may continue for Diego Sanchez

J-Mo J-Mo posted 1/9/2008 from mvn.com

Diego Sanchez recently noted on his Myspace page that his next fight would be in February against a yet to be named opponent. The biggest news out of that was that he will remain at 170 pounds in the Welterweight division. There had been rumors circulating that Sanchez was going to drop down to the lightweight division due to his recent outings in the Octagon.

Why Dana White will be rooting for Joe Stevenson

J-Mo J-Mo posted 1/5/2008 from mvn.com

Coming off of perhaps their best pay-per-view of all-time in UFC 79, the premiere fighting organization has no where to go but down for their next venture at UFC 80 on January 19th. It’s no ones fault, but there’s just no way anything can top two of the greatest fights in UFC history.

Tito's Last Stand

J-Mo J-Mo posted 1/9/2008 from mvn.com

One of the biggest names in the UFC is back in the news. Tito Ortiz has been offered a fight against Lyoto Machida. Machida is fresh off his victory over Sokoudjou at UFC 79. Ortiz has not fought in the Octagon since his draw against Rashad Evans at UFC 73 in July. Ortiz hasn’t won a fight since his victory over Ken Shamrock in October 2006.

Brock Lesnar brings the pain but gets pulled back to reality

J-Mo J-Mo posted 2/3/2008 from mvn.com

Brock Lesnar made his UFC debut in spectacular fashion last night. Prior to making his first appearance, Lesnar’s debut was hyped more than any fighter in UFC history. Everything was in place for Lesnar to make a giant splash in the heavyweight division; that was until Frank Mir grabbed a hold of Lesnar’s right leg.

J-Mo J-Mo posted 2/10/2008 from mvn.com

Question: What does a victory over a future UFC Hall of Famer get you? Answer: Apparently not very much if your name is Keith Jardine. Jardine last fought in the Octagon in September when he won a split decision over Chuck Liddell.

Fresh off his victory over Wanderlei Silva, Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell is now set to take on another legend in Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. The fight is scheduled for June 14th in London, England. Rua is considered by many to be the best light-heavyweight in the world despite his loss to Forrest Griffin in September.

J-Mo J-Mo posted 2/12/2008 from mvn.com

I can’t believe I’m about to do this but I feel the need to defend Matt Serra. If you’ve read my blog with any regularity, you know Matt Serra is about my least favorite person in the UFC. Serra was set to defend his Welterweight Championship against Matt Hughes at UFC 79 before he herniated two discs in his back.

Mauricio “Shogun” Rua was forced to pull out of his June 7th bout with Chuck Liddell on Tuesday. Rua ruptured the ACL in his left knee, the same injury he had surgery to repair last October. There is no timetable for his return to the Octagon.

Thiago Alves will get the biggest chance of his career when he steps in the Octagon against Matt Hughes on June 7th. This main event replaces the original of Chuck Liddell versus Rashad Evans since Liddell had to withdraw due to an injury. Hughes has not fought since his lost to Georges St. Pierre in December. This fight puts to rest any and all talk of Hughes retiring after the St. Pie rre ...

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira: World Champion of getting his face bashed in

J-Mo J-Mo posted 2/5/2008 from mvn.com

Leading up to the UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between Tim Sylvia and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira I decided to watch several of Nogueira’s fights from Pride. One thing that became apparent early on is Nogueira constantly takes a beating in his fights. All the punishment has turned Nogueira into a not very attractive man.

Stars headling UFC 82 Prelim Fights

J-Mo J-Mo posted 2/29/2008 from mvn.com

The card for Saturday night’s UFC pay-per-view is so deep that three stars are relegated to preliminary bouts and will only be seen on the pay-per-view should time allow. A former world champion and the first winner of The Ultimate Fighter will have their bouts before the bright lights shine for the night.

UFC 82: Pride of a Champion Main Event Anderson Silva vs. Dan Henderson

J-Mo J-Mo posted 3/1/2008 from mvn.com

There is no doubt in my mind that the fight Saturday night between Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson will be a Fight of the Year candidate and maybe even one of the best fights in the history of the UFC. Henderson is the Pride Middleweight Champion and was the only fighter in Pride history to hold belts in two different weight classes at once.

Silva submits Henderson: Is he the best ever?

J-Mo J-Mo posted 3/3/2008 from mvn.com

Anderson Silva proved himself not only the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world on Saturday night, but now talk must begin as Silva possibly being the best ever to fight in the Octagon. Silva submitted Pride Middleweight Champion Dan Henderson at 4:52 of the second round with a rear naked choke.
