will definately be watching to see how the hometown boy Joseph Duffy does in his title fight.

 

here's some chat from Herman about his failed test:

 

I went in to give my drug test, right? And a week later they called me and said they lost my urine speciman and I had to come in and re-do it. That was last week. Like, I went back in that day and today they said I failed. And I said 'uh, that's impossible.'

 

It was September 15, I went in and took the first test. And then a week later they e-mailed me and called me and said they lost the sample and I had to come in and do it again. So I went in to do it again that day and then today they just got the results I guess.

 

But then I called because I've been trying to figure this out. I was like how did they lose it? What happened? I don't know. But then Texas said that they never lost it and said that they never lost it and the first test was for drugs and the second was steroids.

 

...

 

They didn't say I had performance enhancing drugs, they said I had marijuana. And I don't even smoke, so yeah. Although I think the Diaz brothers do claim it is performance enhancing somehow.

 

weird.

Reliable sources are reporting today that the UFC is in talks with Jake Ellenberger and Diego Sanchez regarding a potential fight at UFC 141 in December.

 

 

This rumour is still trying to be confirmed.

 

Ellenberger recently broke into the welterweight division top 5 with his huge KO win over former number 1 contender Jake Shields a little over a week ago. The knockout was Ellenberger's 5th win in a row since dropping his octagon debut to current top contender Carlos Condit.

 

Diego Sanchez was recently scheduled to face Matt Hughes at UFC 135 but had to drop out due to an undisclosed injury. The octagon veteran, Sanchez, is 2-1 since returning to the welterweight division, recently defeating both Martin Kampmann and Paulo Thiago via unanimous decision. UFC 141: Lesnar vs. Overeem is set to take place on December 30, 2011 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and will close out another spectacular year of UFC pay per view action.

Tough fight for both if it turns out to be true.

Dodgy poster aside its a fantatsic card. I love that Hendo has a perfectly flat side profile, there must be nothing left inside his nose (He looks like an easter island statue)

 

Looking forward to Silva vs Le but i can see Silva having trouble with his range and getting knocked out again :(

Yeah Hendo's flat face is tremendous, especially with the desperate Dan (pun intended) chin to go with it. You could easily balance a mug of tea on his face if you were brave/stupid enough to try. He's fucked if he ever needs glasses though, between his flat nose and his mangled cauliflower ears there's literally fuck all to balance them on.

Henderson is the fucking man, no doubt about that.

 

Little bit from Jon Jones regarding Steven Seagal attempting to get in his locker room before UFC 135...

 

Prior to his Light Heavyweight Title defense this past weekend at UFC 135, Jon Jones received a phone call from B-lister Steven Seagal, who teaches all sorts of crazy tricks to Team Black House, requesting time with the Champ to give him a few pointers before the fight with Quinton Jackson.

 

Jones, who felt Seagal was a little strange, explained the encounter to Jim Rome:

 

"You never know what people's motives are, especially with a guy who coaches Lyoto Machida. Machida is definitely someone I want to fight in my near future and I just didn't want to share my psychology with himi or anything that would put me at a disadvantage in the future.

 

"It was just confusing, really, to bring in someone you don't work with at all to give you last second advice, it can actually be more detrimental than helpful.

 

"I don't know how he got my number. He was like 'Hey listen, I think you're gonna win the fight, and when I predict someone's gonna win I'm never wrong and there's some things I wanna go over with you.' It was all very strange.

 

"I don't wanna bad mouth him too bad, he had good intentions, I think. But yeah, I definitely wasn't having Steven Seagal in my corner. I could see if it was Jet Li or something, Jet Li would be pretty cool. I would definitely take that call, for sure."

 

The whole Seagal thing is just surreal, the guys out of his mind, i fucking love it.
