Amir Sadollah – MMA’s Unlikely Action Hero By Thomas Gerbasi
With no pro fights, and just a handful of amateur MMA and Muay Thai titles to his name, Richmond, Virginia’s Amir Sadollah probably seemed to be one of the easiest marks out of the 32 fighter field trying to squeeze themselves into 16 spots on The Ultimate Fighter’s seventh season.
And when he drew UFC veteran Steve Byrnes for his opening match, the one that would determine whether he got onto the show or not, things seemed to be going according to form. Not that he knew it at the time.
“Right after they announced the matchups, I didn’t have any idea of who he was and I really didn’t know anything about him,” said Sadollah of Byrnes.
That would change quickly as he attempted to do some last minute weight cutting with other prospective cast members Matt Riddle and Dante Rivera.
“You guys know this guy Steve Byrnes I’m gonna fight?” asked Sadollah.
“Yeah,” responded Rivera, “he fought in the UFC.”
“I did not know that,” deadpanned Sadollah, who then went on to not only fight Byrnes, but to beat him via a second round submission that earned him a spot on the show.
“Everybody had tough fights that day so I wasn’t offended,” he said. “I was like ‘good, then if I beat him, I deserve it.’”

B.J. wasn’t happy with the way he was portrayed on the UFC “Primetime”
The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s fabulously talented lightweight titleholder is also its biggest enigma. Some see him as a spoiled rich kid who speaks before he thinks and pouts if he doesn’t get his way, but Penn insists that’s a description of him spoken by a person who doesn’t know him.

He’s also begun to voice his displeasure with several mixed martial arts websites and blogs that he believes haven’t been fair to him over the years.
J.D. Penn, B.J.’s brother and manager, said the show wouldn’t work unless there was a good guy and a bad guy.
“You had St. Pierre, so they took B.J. and made him look like the bad guy,” he said. “It was like in boxing what they did with (Oscar) De La Hoya and (Floyd) Mayweather Jr. They needed that. B.J. is more vocal, he’s around town, he talks to kids, he does a lot of stuff. For the complete artical to Yahoo Sports/MMA or click the title above!!

Where Did MMA Come From?
Mixed Martial Arts is a fairly new term in the sporting world. The original term for this sport was Pankration. In 648 BC, the Greeks introduced this sport. It incorporated the use of both punching and grappling or wrestling techniques. A similar version found its way back to public knowledge in the 1800’s and on into the early 1900’s. The sport...
