Between rounds, Fitch said his coaches who Alves felt weak in the clinch. This was not surprising given the difficulty of Alves in cutting weight.

Fitch has continued to use her abilities of wrestling to dominate Alves as combating moved to the second round. Took early Alves to the ground, and Alves had a hard time fighting for Fitch.Alves took a short burst of offense at end of turn, but it wasn't enough.

Alves started out the third and final round with best stand-up, sprawling out a landing takedownand Fitch strikes.But by the mark in half of the round, Fitch had Alves back onto the canvas and had a body triangle sunk. Fitch continued to pummel Alves until the last minute, when Alves on and had another flurry of offense.

Some offense was not sufficient. in his first fight in 13 months, Alves looked weak during the attack. If was cutting weight or lay out between attacks, Alves didn't look like the hard-PUNCHING MACHINE that MMA fans are accustomed to seeing.

With this victory, Fitch presumably has earned a shot at title welterweight. teammate at the American Academy of Kickboxing, Josh Koscheck, will have the first crack at the champion Georges St. Pierre and the belt in December.

Hopkins says that Toney is in trouble to 118 UFC

Much of the boxing world is still pretty low on the expertise of mixed martial artists. Not Bernard Hopkins. The great light heavy was one of the first guys to admit that he would be getting whupped to Octagon fight in MMA rules. The legend of 45-year-old is frightening that James Toney has bitten off more than he can chew in its fight against Randy Couture.

"I think James Toney is going to get his ass kicked. James Toney is out of his League, "said Mauro Ranallo Hopkins recently on hardcore sports radio of Sirius (audio). "I think and I go on record with this, the guy MMA best or UFC guy goes against the Boxer in the world, in their arena ... Gets the that their ass kicked.I don't care if you Floyd [Mayweather], [Manny] Pacquiao or Bernard Hopkins. is that not what we do. "

In just over two weeks, Toney has made his debut at UFC MMA 118. Couture is a former UFC champion in two divisions of weight with 28 Professional MMA fights under his belt. After 83 pro boxing fights, Toney, 41, is looking for MMA.

Heavyweight boxing champ David Haye expanded on what he thinks is a mismatch. He said Kevin Iole of Yahoo:

"Six months training isn't going to be enough". Haye-de said. "As a UFC fan, I know two or three years would not be sufficient. How many times has sprawled Toney in his life?500?How many kicks leg has taken in his life? 300? how many attempts Kimura he defended?140?Though it did twice that amount, he wouldn't have nearly the expertise to win a UFC fight. "

Hopkins has also added that if UFC champ Anderson Silva tried box straight up against a boxer elite, he would fight as well.

"This is a different arena. I'm not saying that he won't have its moments," said Hopkins. "Listen, when comes this instinct. when using a guy to grab a guy down, using his forearm or Chin or whatever and you take away that is like taking of his teeth out of his mouth; He is no longer a lion. "

You can listen to the Show "The Fight" with Ranallo weekdays from 4-5 p.m. ET on Sirius channel 98.

Toney's promoter that Goossen challenges Couture to get in a dogfight

You like James Toney like a big underdog against Randy Couture to 118 UFC? You can listen to his boxing promoter, Dan Goossen, that by the end of this interview will have eight minutes you run for the bet Couture. Goossen not rip Toney, he knows just the reality of a boxer stepping into a cage and fighting based on mixed martial arts. He admires Toney to show the courage to crossover, but frankly the promotion of the entire "boxing versus MMA" disturbs him.

"He is counting on being able to go out there and hit Couture with one of the shots that would definitely put him if he connects," Goossen says fighthubtv.com.(4: 55 mark). "The only thing I would say is there is nothing that whenever if James loses because it is a sport completely different ".

Love or hate him, Toney is doing something very few boxers that are still viable in square circle were willing to do.

"One person was willing to walk on the wild side, James Toney," said Goossen (8: 09 mark). "Is a completely different sport. It would be like a player of lacrosse play all of a sudden Major League Baseball.It would be difficult for him to do it, no matter how many times he hits a ball in lacrosse. "

Goossen is lost on this analogy.There is no "hitting" the ball is lacrosse. boxing is one of the many disciplines used in MMA.

Goossen says three times that he will offer you the same money that Couture UFC is paying for this fight bounce immediately back and take Toney in a boxing match.

"Win, lose or draw with Randy Couture, ti corresponds to what he is making for this fight," said Goossen (mark 5: 19)."And let's see if he had the same trick warrior that James Toney has to crossover, for the holding of boxing".

Goossen says he's not rip Couture, but want everyone to know Toney is one-of-a-type for this operation.He says even moved like owner UFC Lorenzo Fertitta seven or eight years ago to match Toney against Tito Ortiz in a boxing match.Fertitta passed onto the Sin offering.

Good for Goossen for not lifting a big stink and attempts to lock Toney from this risk. Don King freaked out when his Boxer Ricardo Mayorga tried crossover for a fight MMA .DK went as far as putting up a million dollars cash to get an injunction to stop MMA fight against Din Thomas of Mayorga. He argued that poor performance by Mayorga might ruin its investment in Boxer. now what is left Mayorga with? where is his payday? Toney had great anything on the horizon in boxing so at least this keeps his name out there and cashes out a nice-sized control.

UFC 118 video: subtitles for James Toney? Really?

For all who are concerned about licenses Ken Shamrock or Evander Holyfield, maybe we need to consider holding off for the approval of James Toney. It is alarming to see UFC using subtitles for NATO in America, Toney-English speakers. He is 41 years!

Toney has wrestled professionally since 1988 with a total of 83 fights but is considered one of the best defensive fighters of the past 25 years. Much of its ability to avoid the big punch has been defended through offense.Toney is the hunting only since 1990, which was in four different title fights, where he landed Treos punches. how many shots it took?

Is really that bad your speech or someone had to simply tell him, "James speak clearly! Enunciate some more!"

Toney probably doesn't give damn about subtitles, but they seem a bit unusual.

The first event of pay-per-view UFC in more than one month had no lack of impressive performances.

Jon Fitch used wrestling to take back Thiago Alves. Phil Davis, Clay Guide and even Sonnen wrestling used to get the job done--almost done in the case of Sonnen.

' Smart fighter ' Scott Jorgensen set up for Brad Pickett

If things go to plan, Scott Jorgensen want Thursday morning thinking about changing his nickname.

You call him "Young guns," which is likely to get more with his tendency in the bag and throw hands with another Cees Slinger ready, as no love for the Emilio Estevez movie to do it.

But Jørgensen says his opponent on Wednesday's WEC 50 expected card in Las Vegas a shootout - and if this is the case, Brad Pickett might need to work to find.

"He will stand and bang," Jorgensen MMA fighting said on Sunday."I will to commit him? why? I'm smarter than man.""I'm definitely not, a good gun fight shy, but I am now a smart fighter."

At least he reminds the "Weapon"-reference.

Jørgensen (10-3, 6-2 WEC) has four straight in the WEC's loaded bantamweight Division gewonnen.Und if not for a split decision loss to Antonio Banuelos WEC 41 June 2009 - a fight many its way thought the - should have gone that only would be seven, staring the path of eight straight against Pickett.

It's not exactly a secret that a decisive victory over Pickett (19-4, 2-0 WEC) Wednesday Jørgensen front and Center for a crack on the winner could put the 135-pound title battle between master Dominick Cruz and Joseph Benavidez, WEC 50's main event. And Jørgensen believes the result of his first fight against Banuelos - he won the rematch at WEC 48 in April - been different he his title that had long ago shots.

"I think if I won this fight would, my way would have marked a bit differently," said Jørgensen. "I would major battles, and this larger to win battles would have me in a title that shot a long time ago."

But this loss gave him some perspective.

"I would be the fighter, that today, I was if I lose this battle,", said Jørgensen. "It is a terrible thing for me to say that you learn if you lose - the most, because you don't have to lose to learn." But I changed as hunters, the night. "It is bitter-I hate it, but I love it."

In this struggle, a hidden gem on the temporary card Mike Brown Urijah Faber - revenge in Sacramento, California, Jørgensen early from Banuelos - marked was straight in the eyes. Weh.Er knew that it.He showed it.And "Young guns," at that time had an itchy trigger finger.

"" I knew everyone thought I was hurt by the way, how I respond, ", said Jørgensen, add punch Banuelos threw his vision was affected not illegal."It was a proud problem.One did I excited angry wrestling background, and the kind of person I am really.I have, my game plan would beat him auswirken.Ich have - if I have kept only my cool... would would it did like second fight."But it is what it is what it is and I he learned lernte.Ich to keep my cool and calm and struggle hard."

Four months after this loss Jørgensen made quick work of Noah Thomas at WEC 43.Then he showed his newfound patience in a unanimous decision victory over Takeya Mizugaki.He needed no patience against Chad George WEC 47, beat on one of the deadliest submissions search and win by the guillotine 31 seconds in the first round of the Jahres.Und he, up to seven weeks later his revenge followed Banuelos with a decision win demanding.

He needs no reputable gym in a well-known city Jørgensen's assessment, becoming a well-known fighter - he just needs, as he says, guys, can kick his butt, to make every day around him better.

That mentality goes back to his days College basketball rings at Boise State.After college, he stuck around and started a sports training for mixed martial arts, since the early days of the UFC, he had a fan of just with his father and his brother - although MOM was a fan.And he has avoided, Boise important MMA camps, instead with the twisted he work for Genetiks Commons with some college teammate, co-founded once school, was abandoned.

American top team? does not matter to "Young Guns."

"" The only thing I know is that no matter who I fight or bearings are what out if in this cage with me step is you better were trained, tired, "Said Jørgensen.""Because I'll press until you so tired you know nothing."

He believes Pickett, a British trains, this fight gun import, to ATT with former WEC featherweight Champ Mike Brown only wants will.Aber Jørgensen then he has a larger plan gewinnen.Und.

"" I want a title shot - I want the belt, ", said Jørgensen."I will not Anwärter.Ich wants to werden.In champion this sport, the ultimate Ziel.Das is the light at the end of the Tunnels.Das is what everyone for shooting have never trained pay to be the second place, and I think this is, what top candidates train pay to be the best."

Young Couture Gets first victory; Riggs back on track

 

It's hard to believe that there is a fighter that is more polite and docile away from the cage of Randy Couture. We found one. Is his son Ryan. But much like her father famous of combat, the next generation Couture turns on the bad guys when he steps into the cage. The 27-year-old, making his pro debut on Showtime, made quick work of Lucas Stark forcing a faucet by triangle choke under 90 seconds in struggle.

Couture is a child rather than Earth, but you could see that he was wound up before the fight. There was a ton of pressure on him. After all, he was made his pro debut on a TV card on Showtime. Even admitted in the lead up to the fight that he was always the only opportunity because of its name. Once scored the victory, took a couple of deep breaths before the hand was raised.He jumped around like a maniac or talk trash. Was even a little embarrassed, as asked fans to come to his afterparty.

"All come have a drink with me at the ranch of Martini, please," he said sheepishly la Couture.

He may have been nervous before and after the fight, but showed the composure of a veteran during short fight. Strikes by Tony was a little embarrassing, but he nailed Couture with a few good shots. He landed also bring a pleasant Fireman's outfit to dump Couture on his back.Couture reacted quickly by throwing his right leg on the shoulder of Tony Stark. for a few seconds, Couture threw other leg and the Starter was stuck on. The 20-year-old Tapped quickly the 1: 15 mark. There was no way to exit.

 

Ryan was certainly more success that the latest fad Strikeforce tried to throw in the cage. Randy ex-wife Kim had a rough time in his two fights you jumped on the ShowTime. big stage a little too quickly. The patient more Ryan fought on the amateur stage in Las Vegas for the last few years and scored six matches under his belt, before he decided to go pro. He is also a gym of his father, Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, just about all the days of training with guys like Tyson Griffin, Gray Maynard and Martin Kampmann.

Patient Riggs blasts out Taylor

Joe Riggs isn't aggressive enough that the killer was during his days UFC, but he still possesses some dangerous elements.The tailor of Louis relatively inexperienced that knew but still couldn't resist the urge to trade with Riggs. That was a bad move. Taylor captured a huge left midway through the third round, struck the bridge and found herself always devastated in front.Taylor trapped helplessly in a crucifix, exploited because of strikes giving Riggs his career 33rd win in a fight catchweight to 182 pounds.

Riggs used to be a guy who has swung for fences. He was good enough, even at the tender age of 9-to-24, to take four victories in UFC welterweight title and get a shot at Matt Hughes.27 now Riggs has become more of a counterstriker.

This approach resulted against Jay Hieron in his last fight but against a guy with fighting only seven, the mentality has proved to be the right way forward.

Taylor, a wrestler from the market, could only score two Takedown and cancelled Riggs (54-11) on the bottom. in the third round, Taylor (6-2) tried to open things, but as color analyst Pat Miletich Showtime pointed out, he was leading with his head. Riggs nailed Taylor with a reverse left. Chicago-native immediately grabbed his face and back seconds later was getting pounded by Riggs.

This was the first fight of Riggs above 170 pounds since September 2008. Looked yet lean like a near Middleweight. after the fight, Riggs lobbied for a rematch against welterweight champ Nick Diaz Strikeforce. If that doesn't happen, he wants in the tournament average Strikeforce proposed.

You would like to see immediately Silva-Sonnen II? Silva Manager has iffy

For some reason in mixed martial arts, immediate rematches are usually frowned. The youngest demographic such new blood in the cage, especially when it comes to the struggles of the title. So when will we see Chael Sonnen get another shot at Anderson Silva? Sonnen was leading 4-0 (40-35, 40-34, 36-40) and his way to win the fifth when he got caught in a triangle choke.

The hype prefight was among the best in UFC history and struggle was dynamite. Willingness of Sonnen get in line with what seemed guarantees scandalous, will probably pay dividends in the form of buy pay-per-view which could be in excess of 750,000.

The second fight will be even larger. Thus the FOC can afford to slip in another competitor before meeting Sonnen e Silva? And isn't incredibly risky to make Sonnen fight someone else in the meantime?

MMA expert Kevin Iole of Yahoo thinks there is only one choice for the UFC and we could be waiting a while before we see the rematch.

Update:Silva Soares And Manager sounds like he is already lining against giving Sonnen an immediate hit.Soares said FightHype:

"I mean, I don't think necessarily a rematch immediately is legitimate. it's not like he won decisively .you've forwarded man. you were on top of him for twenty minutes of the fight and he couldn't finish. Anderson scored a few bumps and scratches, but let's be realistic, you're on a guy of 23 minutes and could not take him? why should he get a rematch?"

As expected, the first reaction to this post has been all over the map on Twitter @ stevecofield.

White bruise, Alves has some begging to do to stay to welterweight

Sounds like Thiago Alves can eat and drink everything he wants now. It seems that the approach which was anyway for the massive welterweight. Between battles, Alves would blow up in excess of 200 pounds and then most often scrape by the skin of his teeth or lose weight back down to 170.

May be a case of three strikes and you're out for Alves who miss this weekend, back at UFC 85 and tested positive for the use of diuretics after UFC 66. having heard during the press conference of UFC 117 postfight Dana White, he may not have to worry about more hard edged.

"When you're in the UFC, your job is to make the weight, period. End of story. Believe me, I don't think not wanted Thiago don't take weight. He can not, "said White. "He Could have cut that half a pound? Maybe he couldn't have.Maybe he cut so much weight that would have broken him mentally this last half a pound of cut.This is [expletive]. it is not right for him. it is not right to anyone who keep happening. "

Alves reached at White shortly after struggle to apologize.

"He says, ' I'm sorry about that. I'll come back stronger," White said. "I said, ' yeah, 185, will. "Said, ' No, I want to stay at 170. ' "

White sounds like he has already made the decision to Alves.

"He belongs to 185 pounds," said White. "I feel this way .so [UFC matchmaker] Joe Silva feels this way. This is where I'd love to see him. "

After mentioning, white has lost his cool slightly.

"Would love to see him at 185," said White. "Is only [expletive] have [Jon Fitch] come in and train and is [expletive] you guys make weight and boys not gaining weight, especially at this level ".

White said is simply too risky book Alves in large struggles.

"It really screws things up," said White."What if he did beat Fitch tonight to get a title shot, and then do the weight for the title [fight]?I know that he can do [185].I guarantee that you can make 185 and will never have a problem with it. If you can fight to 185, so I don't know what to tell you six too big. "

The White was disappointed by the performance of Alves in loss of Jon Fitch and only managed to find a reason to lackluster effort.

"I don't go to calling him ring rust because when he pulled from this last fight, had a full training camp for [UFC 111]," said White. "Right before the fight, we discovered that he couldn't take. he had to have surgery and then got back on the field. it's not like this guy's been out for a year he looked lethargic tonight. He looked slow. he does not belong to 170. "

The 5-foot-9, Alves can be a bit short for that Division medium, but he would be a nice addition to a short new blood Division.

Falling action: Best and worst of strike force challengers 10

Usually MMA would if I watch on TV I fights threat to break a bathroom in a fight for fear of a missing something important. But the strike force 135 pounds women tournament and his three-minute rounds last night, I felt like I always only a particularly long sneezing way of missing the entire fight.

Not that I not the thinking behind the abbreviated tournament seizures verstehen.Wenn you twice in the span of an hour to fight guess maybe can a trip is more dock as entry.

That is unless you negate to a decision lose much time, because you got twice depreciated and it was to do something else, that could.Then you probably feel like you got screwed and also probably don't feel like you, to the treadmill then hit, just so you a complete workout in can get.

But the pinch on my Teil.Wir is all relatively petty fights were still treated to an interesting night, and at women's tournament brought a level of tension, we not always on challengers cards sehen.Wenn only we had get to see only a little more of it.

Now to the last night winners, losers, and everything in between of strike force challengers 10.

Biggest winners: Miesha Tate
Won the tournament belt (by the way, this is kinda funny, isn't it? how about a trophy or a medal or something?) with two solid performances that really showed how much you in the last year or so is improved. The adjustments that were between the first and second round against Akano evidence for a mature fighter who learn is how to find and exploit weaknesses your opponents.Are too bad we probably have at least six months wait to get another crack at the 135-pound title.What should a young fighter in the meantime do to stay sharp and earn their living?

Biggest loser: referee Ron mation
Normally I try to help people that cool to have the name the sound when you say that it really fast all together (I can not the only one who thinks 'Ronmation' sounds like a century - metal processing - technology), but this guy seems hardly qualified to per fighting referee. Up not fighters because you are bored or to get the audience restless obsolete.you up you certainly if a fighter in a dominant position is set of the message should follow perhaps a line of work where you can through the power of your awesome name get alone.I might suggest directed by adult movies?

The most delusional: Joe Riggs
Passed before this fight 'Diesel', the female fighters over lack of exposure, complain should not because the men are the main attraction.This made it sadly ironic that his main event bout against Louis Taylor felt like such anti climactic subsequently after women Turnier.Die of much experienced Riggs received we all expected to win it, then strike force called welterweight champ Nick Diaz for a good Maßnahme.Sorry, but even if you hit a few years back, being 1-1 in your last two you for an immediate title fight it by decision, the shots did not qualify.

Most likely to for his father on the phone be mistaken: Ryan Couture
When you hear the younger speech Couture, it can be no doubt that is his father.He has inherited Randy's speaking Cadence and its something unpleasant intensity, but it's far too early to say whether it is intended for the same athletic size.Don't get me wrong, is a template victory in the first minute debut per never bad Sache.Aber reasons the perspective, let us remember that he did it against an opponent, the 2-4 come in this bout war.Das best, what, we can do at this point for young Couture, it as any other fighter behandeln.vielleicht he grow into something big, and maybe will he know we certainly nicht.Bis, let's just see if we him to call Chuck Liddell late at night and pretend to be Randy.

Most impressive in defeat: Hitomi Akano
First of all we can all agree that "Girlfight Monster" is not the best of all time, at least in the top five nickname? Gute.Zweitens, Akano's toughness and strength, even in defeat, never fail, a strong impression to machen.Das was the case last tournament of night tournament battle as was as "Cyborg" Santos in match race, both fought so physically tilt it easy a Japanese "Super Hulk" would be can. who fights Akano, you know you are in work, don't give up for a night of Real.Sie and again can not questions for much more than that to unten.Sie.
