Demo for the game is being released on tuesday

 

Yeah I just saw this on the Undisputed forum. Wonder what fighters will be on it. Hopefully they put Pride on the demo.

 

The game looks really good. When it was announced I was looking forward to it just for the Featherweight and Bantamweights and the new submission system. Then they announced Pride. I never expected guys like Sapp, Randleman, Goodridge and Don Frye to be in it, just thought it would be Pride versions of the UFC fighters.

 

And I didn't think Nick Diaz and Overeem would make it in either. I hope they put the old WEC blue cage in aswell.

Mike Whitehead's going to jail. He was sentenced to 1 to 4 years in the slammer on sexual assault charges.

 

The woman told police she and a friend had gone to Whitehead's home for a barbecue, then after drinking, decided not to drive home, according to a police report.

 

The report said Whitehead told the women they could sleep in his bed.

 

One of the women said she awoke to find her pants down and Whitehead having sex with her in the bed. Although she repeatedly demanded that he stop, he didn't for about three minutes, according to the police report.

 

Dirty bastard. Not only is he a rapist we now know he can only last 3 minutes aswell.

 

Between this, Hermes Franca and Joe Son I hope that's the end of the sex pests in MMA stories.

They say give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. If you give Gilbert Yvel a referee, he'll right hook him in the ear and soccer kick him on the mat. Gilbert Yvel wasn't born. He just ripped through his mother's womb and started ground and pounding the doctor. He's undoubtedly the rawest fighter to ever enter a ring and now I will issue a general warning to everyone reading this: Gilbert Yvel vs. Houston Alexander is going down March 30th in friggin' Nebraska!

 

Resurrection Fighting Alliance has announced the fight will headline the promotion's second event. The bout will be contested at light heavyweight. As of today, it's impossible to watch the match unless you reside in Nebraska or just have an extreme obsession with taking a road trip to the middle of nowhere.

 

Don't be surprised if Gilbert jumps in the cage with a Klingon deathsword and starts slicing every neck within a mile of him. Even if that happened, I wouldn't be surprised. It's Gilbert Yvel, man. It shouldn't surprise anyone. The guy has been disqualified for biting (Mike Tyson style) and my personal favorite, eye gouging. Gilbert Yvel isn't out there to win, he's out to claim souls. Props to Chris G. for the find.

Miguel Torres will take on Michael McDonald at a UFC event in April.

 

That's the fight Ebb was calling for after McDonald's last fight if I remember right. Good fight, makes sense at the minute I reckon. Torres hasn't looked as sharp his last few fights and Mayday's really coming on. Big opportunity for McDonald. If he gets a win over Torres, who was considered one of the top pound for pound best not too long ago, it could be a bit of a starmaking fight for him.

According to Dana White, if Sonnen beats Bisping he'll 100% be fighting Anderson in Brazil, and if Bisping wins that fight will more than likely be taking place in Brazil as well.

 

He also said that if Rashad gets through Phil Davis uninjured he'll get the next title shot against Jones in the summer, and if he doesn't it'll more than likely be Dan Henderson who gets the shot.

 

Interesting times ahead! :D

Bisping vs Sonnen is a fight where Bisping will either bring it and show he really should be in that spot or get made to look like a bitch. I really want to see Sonnen/Silva 2, just because it was one of those fights where Sonnen won every round, but Silva never looked hurt. It was more like Silva was having a nap and was getting annoyed by Sonnen tapping him in the head. I don't think Silva perceived Sonnen as a threat, so going into the second fight will Silva try to finish it early or not.

James Thompson is fighting Bob Sapp in India as the main event of the Super Fight League 1 event on March 11th. Apparently this organisation is looking to be a pretty big deal in India, being run by Raj Kundra, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt & Ken Pavia.

 

Also on the card is Xavier Foupa Pokam and UK based fighter Lakwinder Sekhon.
