John Howard was similar yeoman during its early days in UFC. Sure the guy can talk trash with the best of them, but it is his nature-ground that he can take in deep water in the welterweight division.

Howard slowly worked his way up the ladder with victories on Dennis Hallman, Daniel Roberts Tamdan McCrory, and Chris Wilson. All solid fighters but none spectacular. He was to fix an opportunity for a signature to victory against the highly touted Anthony Johnson, but that the fight was cancelled because of injury Johnson.

We have the main tab, on TV, and we're going to have some fun. "

You expect this kind of straight talk from a guy who grew up in a gritty slice of New England. The guy has made money pretty nice so far with the promotion, having earned two bonus on the night of the fight. Yet he is still hasn't replaced his Honda Accord 1994.

"You messed up up. The blocks are messed up, tires.Is my favorite car.I love it, "said Howard."This is what makes me happy. This is the kind of guy that I am.I don't need a few things to make an impression. I tell people be happy with what you got. I am too ".

Howard (UFC 14-4, 4-0) and Allan ellenberger (22-5, 1-1 UFC) square Sunday during UFC on versus 2. Ellenberger has less experience UFC Howard but its competition may have been stronger, Division of struggles against Mike Pyle and Carlos Condit.

Weigh in UFC 117: Does Alves still get a title shot with a victory?

Thiago Alves can never to separate from the texture of weigh in drama. The Brazilian squat is massive for class of 170-pound and is always an adventure in the days preceding the weigh in. This week was no different. Alves was reportedly 190 pounds of Wednesday morning. Today, sounded very sunny and with reports that he was 177 in the morning. But it did not work, even with two attempts at pesa. Alves miss the mark, had to abandon the 20 percent of her purse and the same can cost the title shot promised for the winner of its fight against Jon Fitch.

With the threat of weight is missing Alves, sounded like white had changed his mind during the night that says FanHouse (7: 10 mark) that Fitch, Alves, Jake Shields or Martin Kampmann could be online for title shot after Georges St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck fight. Alves couldn't have donehimself any favors by weight is missing again!

The energy was high, as the main event fighters struck the scale.Yoshiyuki Sonnen was all business, while Anderson Silva had fun on the scale that act as if he was nervous that he was going to lose weight. Silva flipped the script while staredown, refusing to watch Sonnen. the Challenger has played a helluva job hyping the fight, but sounded like he made plenty of enemies among the fans.

Jones takes vicious kicks leg from Munich balding and shows a boom noodle

UFC's Tour of San Diego continued Friday as Jon Jones hit Park Park to throw out the first pitch before the match Padres-Florida Marlins. Along the way, he is tortured by the smell of food ballpark. Jones has weighed 213 Martella about 22 hours before had to weigh-in this afternoon. He is usually calm and collected, but he did look nervous about having to get on the Mound Park. Perhaps this is why:

"The last time I threw a baseball was my senior year (high school) in gym class, and sucked," says Jones. "I can't capture a kick. I'm a boy Black 6-4, which can't dunk. I think I set aside is my passion."

The left-hander threw a solid step that was snagged just outside the area from catcher. She looked more comfortable control leg kicks from The Swinging friar, the mascot of San Diego.

Jones has a slightly different appearance to his entourage this week.Well, sort of. his brother Arthur could not make the trip NFL defensive tackle. Rookie is in Baltimore Ravens camp. but his more tall, slender clone, Chandler, a defensive lineman at Syracuse is traveling with Jones and his girlfriend.

Sonnen Gets a call from Armstrong, then mocked Jim show in Rome

He is fighting the best mixed martial artist worldwide in just over two days, Chael Sonnen he really needs to address the drama unfolding on his comments by Lance Armstrong? Of course not and now he is only making it worse by putting some sort of game/elaborate hoax.

We did Wednesday night that Sonnen FanHouse said that he never not comments and never talked with the interviewer Larry pepper. Thursday, Jim Rome gathered on history and booked Sonnen for an interview.

After a long debate on combating Anderson Silva, Rome then pressed Sonnen on its observations Armstrong. Sonnen again said that he didn't make comments and that it wasn't him on the show. Sonnen said he also received a call from Armstrong.

' Said ' I heard your interview, what they say about me? 'He broke the story for me.And I don't think even that was him. I talked to him on the phone a few times, "said Sonnen. "He blindsided me. I assure you, Jim, you won't find any footage of any such interview."

Then Rome played audio and Sonnen denied again. Clock Kalib Run has a nice recap of following Sonnen mocked as Rome and spun in topic of "worst lies ever."

Rome says that is incredulously that he would deny that was him.Rome says that if he were a look-alike, they spent 45 minutes doing an interview posing as Sonnen. Roma asks what do you think of this "fight hype" Dana White as it went over the line and Dana is not a "boy BS".

Because she loves Sonnen and Middleweight has saved the promotion for 117 UFC, we're guessing White did not rip in fighter but came as silly national radio. Some bloggers MMA are saying that we are playing right into the hands of Sonnen. He is turning the tables on average. Josh Gross thinks that went beyond.

It's not something that damages the reputation of sport, but certainly knocks down a peg Sonnen. that said, perhaps this final bit of controversy will bring in more buy pay-per-view which was firstly the final target of barrage of trash talk.

Tito in situation loser against Hamill

Tito Ortiz just signed the contract to meet former protege Matt Hamill in October. While doing so, he doesn't seem exactly woodchipper in this video. Ortiz worked extensively with Hamill during the third season of "The Ultimate Fighter" to the point where the rest of castmates got angry with the prospect MMA. Hamill also worked Ortiz after the show. Four years later, the UFC is throwing the teacher and student collection in Octagon.

"Sucks, but that's the business.I had another friend who was next to me and ended up losing a friendship, "said Ortiz reference to Chuck Liddell."So I come to realize that anyone at 205 cannot be my friend. "

That probably not disappointing news for most of the light and heavy class, which would all love attention from a fight and victory over Ortiz.Hamill, who is the only deaf in UFC Fighter is a tough guy, break and get riled up high through trash talk. the only person to attempt it was Michael Bisping. Now had a ratio of hate hatred with the majority of MMA fans. 

Cage Potato says that Ortiz is an underdog sports books good to offshore.A control with Las Vegas sportsbooks indicate that Hamill will probably be around minus-150. That is a true indication of what Ortiz has fallen.Hamill is 8-2 in UFC, but its upper victories came against Mark Munoz (now at Middleweight) and Keith Jardine.He also has a victory DQ on Jon Jones but always destroyed in fighting it.

Ortiz (15-7) hasn't won a battle since 2006 and still recovering from severe back and neck surgery over the past two years. Hamill is essentially a younger version of Ortiz. both have problems gas tank, but it doesn't seem that Ortiz has the athleticism more to stay off the mat against Hamill, who is an artist of removal are excellent. meet on 23 October at UFC 121 in Anaheim.

' Loser Leaves Town ' game McKee forced by racism?

Ever heard the name of Antonio McKee? Not have more casual fans of mixed martial arts. The 40-year-old man with a record of 24-3-2 has never achieved the bigs or gotten exposure you feel it deserves. Part of the problem could be that the artist takedown, which has not lost since 2003, has turned in decision victories in battles 12-of-14. So McKee is pulling out all the stops to get eyes on her next fight saying that if he don't end Luciano Azevedo on September 10th, he will be retired. McKee of FanHouse said Ben Fowlkes:

"This is what I said. I said, if this fight goes to a decision and a decision is boring, I retire. If this fight is not the fight of the night, I retire. Basically, if I go out there and put on a show, just destroy and annihilate this guy, then I'm done. If it's one of those games where I take him down, ground and pound, holding him there, retire.I am done.[...]

"Do not have to stand up and get hit in the face.None I can stop by their taking down and nobody can hit me when we're standing. what the fans want to see are the knockouts, the blood, the rough stuff. Want to see that, and I'm not on this. "

Without a loss for seven years, why hasn't he been signed by UFC? Pointing to the popularity of the ground and pound fighters like Matt Hughes, Georges St. Pierre and Sean Sherk, McKee says that those kids have one thing going for them. McKee, again from FanHouse:

"I think a lot of it is racist. And I'm not saying racist against all people of color, necessarily, but racist towards me. Are these guys white that do the same exact thing, why would anyone not say this stuff on them? "

McKee says that nobody gives the UFC welterweight champ guff for his deliberate style.

"Georges St. Pierre, he also doesn't get hit most. And then, he says, ' I'm not a brawler; I am a mixed martial artist. 'And then there are people talking about how he is great.I have to do exactly what you have seen it done, but better! "

Just look at gentlemen African-American Yves Edwards, he said.

"The guy that you had with them the longest was Yves Edwards.He lost a fight, scored triangled, then had a stop due to a cut against Joe Stevenson and they cut him.What? you have white guys that have been deleted three or four times and keep coming back. Chuck [Liddell] was deleted so many times that they need to make a stone with his name on it. "

Maybe it will work this stunt ... who knows? is right McKee? hath he play it smart? not to take any opportunity over the years, scored successes, but got the attention of anyone. Congrats on a good career.

White says boxing won't be around much longer

Dana White says often as he is a fan of big boxing. So should pain him a little to comment on the future of sport. Prediction of the desolate is white.

"My honest opinion of boxing is that boxing will go away," White said the ESPNRadio Ryen Russillo. "I wouldn't want any ill will.It's not because sport is not good, or something like that, it's just that is so fragmented, and be successful so many bad things. nobody is going to stick their hand in their pocket and spend their money to save the sport of boxing, nobody is going to do it. "

He stresses the greed over the past 25 years.

"Did your sport can be saved," said White. "Once everything has gone to a model of pay, boxing stopped producing good fights for free. Once this model ended the market starts to decrease when you're just in pay-per-view ".

And it doesn't help that boxing is now at a point where it can't even offer quality PPV fights 8-12 times a year.

"The best example is now how long have fight fans wanted to see Mayweather (Floyd) versus Pacquiao (Manny)? forever man.That is the fight that I want to see, "said White."And isn't happening. these guys are always offered crazy amounts of cash and cannot be reflected only the fight ".

White, speaking before the latest round of negotiations Mayweather-Pacquiao products zilch, stressed how difficult the boxing to compete with his product.

"Before this Mayweather-Pacquiao fight happens … lets say a miracle happens and they get this thing done this week – the struggle will be probably sometime in November, right?You have done ten fights, and, I don't know, perhaps out of ten struggles, that four of them will be in free TV. "

Make sure that closer to 16 fighting with six or seven cards free now that soon we will see Pacman-Mayweather May of 2011.

Russillo pulled a stunt Nice at the end of the interview, when asked if he knew the white by David Haye. Haye-de is one of the unique possibility of heavyweight division of boxing has to regain some audience. Brit is a 224-pounder qualified that you'll be able to offer big numbers with the black mouth and is enough to make a fight against both Klitscko brother somewhat intriguing. White said that he wasn't really aware of Haye-du. That is a casual boxing fans saying that it's not a good sign.

White says to hold your horses Shogun!

Nobody is at the heart of matter Mauricio Rua. The head is another matter. The Brazilian loves battle, but he also fought more knee injuries over the years. When it was brought to its attention that "Shogun" plans on a December return from his knee surgery, the UFC President Dana White downed it immediately.

"This baby keeps pushing to get out there, faster and faster," said white when asked for information about the status of Rua da Sherk on MMA Live of Espn2. "Completely respect him for that. He is an animal.I like a lot. but there is no way he is going to be ready by December ".

According to white, the doctor sent Rua promotion best in the country.

"People ask why he had so many knee surgery. That is exactly why you had that many knee surgeries, "said White.

White pointed to spring or early summer of 2011 as the turnaround time for Shogun. Evans replied, "here's a long way for your boy."Then he asked if there is a belt provisionally grabs to 205 pounds.

"I doubt it. when we did the belt for Brock [Lesnar], we didn't know if Brock ever was to reverse or if he would be out for a year or two.No provisional.We know that this guy is back. He has already had surgery. he knows exactly the date that he can come back. "

Evans was offered the chance to fight at 119 UFC against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in an event co-main with Quinton Jackson vs. Lyoto Machida. has turned down. Evans could be compared with about 12 months off if Rua is out until the beginning of June.

The cut list: Who is 117 facing unemployment with a loss at UFC?

Know how to say that it is 117 a quality fight card from top to bottom at UFC? Coming up with candidates for the cut list actually a bit was a chore and not the kind of annoying obligation where you feel a sense of satisfaction once it is finished.

This weekend lineup has about a fighter with two consecutive losses, and quite a few that are strips of significant victory. So what gives? We could be the rare UFC event face where is nobody's job on the line?And if so, does this represent a leveling unemployment numbers and signs of economic recovery has been waiting the nation? or it is only a mistake like that one time when your ungeratener Uncle sober Thanksgiving is most showed?

The truth is, we know nicht.Aber are few guys with a slight chance fighting your way out of the job, on Saturday, so let's glance.

Anderson Silva(26-4,_11-0_UFC)
That he is facing: Chael Sonnen
Why he is in danger: If you believe that Dana White's threats, Silva could the first UFC champion of his successful title defense be fired as a direct result. Other head-scratching performance as his last fight, and he is out on the Straßen.So says white.Not child even if, for this happen Silva would have to reach new levels of annoying indifference.It is only the usual, bizarre result tun.Sogar a rapid loss would not tun.Wirklich, there is only one way he could get that may cut, and that is when the intentional author of his own death.
Likely always cut: 20-1.Since he did it three times already, I think we can say that it is impossible, he will do it again. At the same time if Silva does not want to beat up sun from now on can he be not even human.

Dennis Hallman (41-13-2 1, 1-4 UFC)
That he is facing:Ben Saunders
Why he is in danger: Only Hallman is back in the UFC, after all these years is unlikely enough. for all his success outside the Octagon has success in es.Ja had not the 34 year-old, he holds two victories over former welterweight champ Matt Hughes back in the day, but he also comes from a knockout loss to John Howard in his recent UFC seek.To make things complicated, Hallman recently went on "Inside MMA" and made some pretty incendiary comments on steroids, suggesting that it is just like aspirin for your headache.Not only his analogy is faulty, but come from someone who is above blown for the juice it kind of makes it seem like a possible future liability on the UFC roster.
Odds cut get:Sogar.Wenn Hallman loses Ben Saunders and drops to 0-2 in its current Octagon execution, it is almost guaranteed that he get deleted werde.Er needs only to keep around to win, and this will be not easy under Saunders against much larger.

Tim Boetsch (11-3, 2-2 UFC)
Who he is facing: Todd Brown
Why he is in danger:Bötsch has already the old 'go to win a few in the minors' speech of UFC getting ahead and to his credit he did exactly what he needed to return to the big show to tun.Jetzt thanks to breach Thiago Silva, he gets confronted an octagon newcomer at UFC 117, and, that never hurts your chances.At the same time during Bötsch perhaps a loss for Silva, have survived, could like a loss for a UFC rookie like Brown another grounds for dismissal.
Likely always cut: 4-1.Boetsch this one should win, but even if he loses he could keep his job, as long as it in the effort terrible look.

Rodney Wallace (9-2, 0-2 UFC)
That he is facing:Phil Davis
Why he is in danger:Although he has an awesome nickname ("Sho Nuff master"), to show that he fell a UFC caliber Kämpfer.Er Wallace a battle to Brian Stann, then an exciting Slobberknocker Jared Hamman, and now, after its pulled out former opponents with an injury, he has trouble of facing rising prospect Phil Davis on the Prelims.Bummer.Er undersized is Division to begin with, and his chances to stop Davis ' takedowns are, say, Arm.Er needs at an early stage to land a great Haymaker, otherwise it will be most to spend this fight on the back.
Likely always cut: 1-5.Es is just no way, the Wallace drops to 0-3 in the UFC and keeps his Job.Nicht having incriminating photos of someone high up in the organization.

UFC 117: Six sub plots to watch for

If your interest in Saturday night UFC 117 not over to the middleweight title matchup between Chael go Suns and Anderson Silva, I suggest to stop because thats the last mention of you in this story you either here, or to invest further in the map by you a look at other interesting ways.

We present a look at the top six subplots of UFC 117 of the night hüllt.Und what has forgotten, the ignored the storylines that could result at the time with each of these anyway to do Jake shields?

6. Hendricks vs. Brenneman, take 2
If in the welterweight of prospects Johny Hendricks and Charlie Brenneman up on tonight's undercard hook, it not the first Mal.Die both took the 2004 NCAA Wrestling Championship Tournament against each other. Hendricks won the game and at the end of the fifth in the tournament, place the first of his four all-American Awards to earn.Meanwhile Brenneman was a senior and defeat ended his career.

Hendricks recently admitted he had no memory of this game.Brenneman, who in the meantime it in his memory, what branded him a little extra motivation to hand of the 8 0 Hendricks his first professional loss.

5. Rafael dos Anjos ' test
Rafael dos Anjos opened his UFC career with consecutive losses.For most young fighters leads to a ticket back to MMA's minor League for more spice. whatever the UFC dos Anjos gave another shot for whatever reason, and he has gone 3-0 since, with victories over Rob Emerson, Kyle Bradley and Terry etim.

The perfect man admits him a shot against clay Guida, which seems despite a 6-5 record in the UFC, weed out pretenders from competitors sein.Vier of straight UFC win would be a great achievement for dos Anjos, and at the age of 25 years, would it a guy deserves to keep in mind.

4. Perform any of the last for Hughes?
After losing consecutive fights against Georges St. Pierre and Thiago Alves, many thought it was time to retire for Matt Hughes.Still a victory against Ricardo Almeida would give today quiet evening, three straight WINS.

Victory would mean; although his last victory over 43-year-old Renzo Gracie as surprise not come, Almeida is that the game of Hughes passed so much as a 2 to 1 edition of MMA live said favorite in the sport Pfund.Auf of this week former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans essentially something has. 36 Hughes is certainly a tough battle to back the cover 170 pounds-to move, but we want to may wait until tonight to see only what he had left.

3. The ghost of Jake shields
You questions is perhaps what Jake shields to UFC 117 to do has. While it is true that he is not on the map, it is also true that he could bear benefit if a few things to go his way.The first one already did: Thiago Alves missed weight.

If Alves beats has Jon Fitch tonight, UFC trust matching Alves weight in the title of the winner to make promised?For all his considerable talent, Alves has had to ignore a story of the problems with the weight cut that always is harder and harder.If that the UFC fear, shields can its way into the No. 1 contender slot with an impressive win over Martin Kampmann in the Oktober.Wenn Alves Fitch perhaps backdoor in fact tonight beat, not surprisingly, Dana white, that at least the possibility to entertain it be heard.

2. The quiet rise of Phil Davis
