After a loss to Jon Jones, the popular MMA brawler, Rampage Jackson, is planning a move from mixed martial arts to boxing. He told ESPN that he may make the shift over and that boxers would stand toe to toe with him and wouldn’t “fight scared.”
Jackson is 33 years old and the transition from sport to sport isn’t always a smooth one. Most boxers that make their way into the cage end up losing quickly and vice versa. They are two different beasts, but Jackson has charisma and will be matched lightly like Kimbo Slice and will get some wins before risking it. It’s a safe bet that we will see him in the boxing ring in the near future.
Mabe this is one of the reasons why Dana White is so upset with the Boxing Comission.Mabe he should try a stragity to get well known boxers from the from the Boxing commisssion to join the UFC roster. Just a thought.For more info go to Ring Stot website by clicking the title above...

Sep 29, 2011 - A day has been set for Jay Hieron's long-awaited date in the cage with Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren. According to reports from MMA Junkie, the pair will clash on October 29th in Kasas City at Bellator 56.
The event is also slated to hold the semi-finals of season five's heavyweight tournament, per reports from Sherdog. The tournament's opening round is planned for October 1st and features Mark Holata vs. Ron Sparks, Neil Grove vs. Mike Hayes, Blagoi Ivanov vs. Thiago Santos, and Eric Prindle vs. Abe Wagner.
With the announcement, Askren (8-0) is scheduled to defend his title for the first time since claiming it with a five-round decision victory over Lyman Good, earned by his run to the top of season two's welterweight tournament. A two-time NCAA Division I national wrestling champion and a 2008 U.S. Olympian, the 27-year-old has maintained an unblemished record since transitioning into mixed martial arts in 2009. Askren last fought in April at Bellator 40, where he soundly defeated Nick Thompson in a three-round non-title affair.
Across the cage, Hieron (22-4) finally gets the title shot he earned after emerging victorious from season four's welterweight tournament. The 35-year-old Strikeforce and UFC veteran has been on a roll of late, having won ten straight fights since 2007. In total, he holds several notable performances throughout his nine-year career, including victories over Pat Healy, Joe Riggs, and UFC welterweight contender Jake Ellenberger, as well a tough loss to UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre.

Will there be another MMA Fighter in Dancing with the Stars
Chuck Liddell joined the cast of Dancing with the Stars several seasons back.This was a big risk wondering what the UFC/MMA world would think.In my opinion it done some good for him.Giving MMA fighters another demention that they are more then just fighters in the Otcogon they they can do other things as well.
Will there be another UFC superstar who will join the cast like a silva or Jackson?Time will only tell how about Dana White? I would pay to see this.I khow lately in the MMA news he had made some disisions that people thought was questionable at best.
Every once in a while I have some spare time where I can post my own thoughts if you have anything you want to say feel free to e-mail at jandrbusiness@yahoo.com
There is a website with more info about Chuck Liddell and DWTS just click the title above...

WWE's CM Punk Calls Triple H's Comments on MMA 'Insane'
This artical was written by By Ray Hui September 22 2011 Last updated at 08:55 AM ET
WWE pro wrestler CM Punk strongly disagrees with WWE executive senior advisor and on-screen "COO" Triple H's remarks in a recent Moviefone interview where he stated, "I don't think we (the WWE and pro wrestling) have to evolve" and "if anybody needs to evolve, it's [the UFC]."
The 32-year-old Punk, one of the most popular pro wrestlers today and a longtime MMA fan, appeared on this past Monday's The MMA Hour and explained that although Triple H's comments might be the WWE's corporate stance, that's not the case with him.
"Triple H just doesn't get mixed martial arts. he doesn't watch it either," said Punk. "Saying the UFC needs to evolve, I guess he's not wrong, but I think he's missing the picture that UFC is evolving. There's only one other sport entity in the world that has production rights to their own material on network and that's the NFL. UFC has just bartered a huge deal [with FOX]. That's evolution."
Further, Punk made it clear he shared a completely different opinion from Triple H's comment that the WWE does not need to evolve.
"I think that's absolutely insane," Punk said. "Any human being, any business, any sport needs to constantly evolve. I'm not a big football guy, but look at the NFL, they're constantly evolving -- whether it's good or it's bad, they're evolving. And if you don't evolve, you die."
WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon has stated over the years that UFC is not a competition to the WWE. However, consistently strong UFC pay-per-view buys and tumbling WWE numbers would state otherwise. Punk believes fans can enjoy both products, but it would be impractical to say both products aren't competition for the consumer's time and money.
"I wouldn't say [MMA has] 'hurt' us, I think that might be a little harsh of a term, but to deny that UFC is our competition is a little ridiculous," Punk explained. "Cirque du Soleil is our competition. Mad Men and Breaking Bad is our competition . I think everything that people spend their time on and their money on is our competition and to blatantly say that mixed martial arts has no barring on what's good or bad in our business, is silly; it's close-minded. You're putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound."
In a relatable way that the UFC went through and is still continuing an education process to explain many of the basic elements of the sport and overcome negative preconceptions to the unconverted, that's perhaps what the WWE execs need, according to Punk.
"Pro wrestling as a whole in my opinion has a lot to do to get to where I would like it to go," Punk said. "I think the people who discredit mixed martial arts in pro wrestling have very antiquated ideas and honestly, I think it's an education thing. I've had many conversations with Triple H about mixed martial arts, and he just doesn't get it. "
In that same regard, Punk finds humor in the way people have come to embrace or reject professional wrestling.
"It's funny, because pro wrestling many people don't get, and there's an old saying, "Pro wrestling is religion. They're very similar in regards that if you're trying to explain to somebody who doesn't get it, there is no explanation that will get them to get it. But someone who gets it, there is no explanation needed. It's just very black and white.
On the business end, whether MMA purists would admit it or not, the UFC has followed and expanded on WWE's early business models. On the most basic level, both have television shows to drive interest in selling pay-per-views and what the UFC and WWE are in essence -- entertainment-based products. And with that, there's only so much money to go around for everyone.
"UFC is entertainment. WWE is entertainment," Punk said. "And regards to people spending their money on it. It's definitely a competition. I think the way things are in our economy, there's a billion pay-per-views between UFC, [other MMA pay-per-views] and the WWE, we're competing for each other's dollars, absolutely."

UFC allows questionable music choices at UFN 25
This artical was written by Maggie Hendricks
One of the fun parts of a live UFC event is the way fighters use music to pump up as they walk out to the Octagon, but two fighters made questionable choices in their walkout songs at Ultimate Fight Night 25. Those bad decisions were then repeated by UFC president Dana White, who approves every song that is used by fighters.
Ken Stone, who won via submission, walked out to the Prodigy song, "Smack My Bitch Up." The song repeats two lines, "Smack my bitch up, change my pitch up." When it was released in 1997, it was protested by women's groups as condoning violence towards women. MTV only allowed the song to be played late at night, and Wal-Mart and K-Mart pulled the CD from its stores. Prodigy released a statement that the song was not about violence, but that's not apparent from its lyrics.
The next bad decision was when Matt Riddle walked out to the Scorpions song, "Rock You Like a Hurricane." In most cities, it's the perfect song to walk out to, but these fights took place in New Orleans. That's a city that was literally rocked by a hurricane in 2005. Hurricane Katrina's effects are still being felt in New Orleans, as they struggle to restore their population and status as a tourist destination to pre-Katrina levels.

Jon Jones and Rampage Jackson appear side by side on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"
This artical was written by Joey Santosus on September 20, 2011, 10:15 AM CDT
UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon "Bones" Jones, alongside current number-one contender Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, appeared together on the set of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night to promote their upcoming title clash. Unsurprisingly, the majority of their appearance was spent exchanging verbal jabs, as each fighter assured victory ahead of this Saturday night's stacked UFC 135 fight-card.
Jones vs. Rampage will headline the event, set to go down September 24th from the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. In addition to the Light Heavyweight showdown, also featured will be a Welterweight bout between former division champ Matt Hughes and Josh Koscheck, as well as a Heavyweight tilt pitting rising contender Travis Browne against the U.K.'s Rob Broughton.

How to Become a Cage Fighter
A "cage fighter" is a Mixed-Martial-Arts (MMA) fighter who sometimes fights in a cage (or octagon, or a boxing ring in Pride). The fighter wins by knocking out, or putting the opponent in a submission hold by which the opponent gives up, or "taps", or by decision.
The phases of a fight usually involve punching and kicking, the clinch, sometimes stand-up grappling, then a take down and ground grappling. Here you'll learn what it takes to become a cage fighter.]

Top 20 Submission Moves In MMA
this artical was written by Robert Rousseau, ExtremeProSports.com
Neck Crank - This submission can be applied when a person is in a dominant position (mount or side mount). It involves pulling or twisting the head farther than it should go with two arms. Not really a choke, but better suited here than anywhere else.
North-South Choke - The performer must be on top in the north- south position to apply this hold. From there the performer cuts off the flow of blood to the neck with his or her bicep. This hasn't been extremely effective in mixed martial arts, primarily because few mixed martial artists end up in the north - south position and it's a slow working submission.
Thus it gives fighters too much time to get out.
Rear Naked Choke - The performer must have access to their opponent's back to pull this off. From there they curl one arm around the their neck, bicep against one side of the neck, forearm against the other. Then the performer tugs it close and place the hand of the choking arm on the bicep of their other arm as that arm comes up behind the opponent's head and touches their hair. Last, the applier tucks their head, expands their chest, and squeezes.
Oftentimes MMA fighters use their legs as 'hooks' for leverage. To see a great example of this popular MMA move, check out Matt Hughes versus Frank Trigg I.
Triangle Choke - This move was made famous by Royce Gracie in an early MMA bout against Dan Severn. While in the guard, the performer traps an arm and extends their opposite side leg across their opponent's neck so that it lands on the other side of the combatant's body. Then their other leg crosses over that leg to tighten the hold.
In effect, this choke traps an opponent's neck in a triangle utilizing the perfomer's leg and their opponent's own arm.
Arm Locks
Americana - A lateral keylock (see keylock below).
Arm Bar (from guard) - Perhaps the most utilized of all mixed martial arts submission holds. The performer traps an arm with one hand and uses their other hand to hold that opponent close (oftentimes by grabbing the shoulder or neck). Next they open their guard, pivot or crunch in the direction opposite of the arm they've isolated, and climb the leg opposite the trapped arm up their opponent's back. At the same time, they make a small loop around their opponent's neck with their other leg. With both hands on the isolated arm, the performer lifts their hips and pulls the caught arm in while pressing out with their legs.
To see an example of this, one need only look to Fedor Emelianenko's recent victory over Mark Coleman in PRIDE's first American contest.
Armbar (from the mount) - The performer isolates an arm with their own opposite side arm. As they do this, they may choose to put pressure on their opponent's neck with their free arm. Then the performer grabs the isolated arm with both hands, comes up to a squat, and pivots around clockwise (if isolating their opponent's right arm) or counterclockwise (left arm), eventually ending up perpendicular to their opponent.
Finally, the performer's legs pinch the isolated arm and they fall back into an armbar.
Keylock - Generally, one needs side mount to pull this submission off. Once side mount is achieved, the performer grabs their opponent's wrist with their near hand and reaches under that arm with their free hand, grabbing their own forearm. The performer then forces the elbow upwards.
Kimura (from the guard) - The performer grips their opponent's hand, opens their guard, pushes off the hips of their opponent, and sits up. Then with their free hand they reach over and through the arm they've isolated to grab their own wrist. Finally, keeping that arm away from their opponent's body, the performer attempts to touch the back of the trapped hand to their opponent's head.
Omoplata - From the guard, the performer places one leg under the opponent's armpit and turns toward that leg, thereby catching their opponent's arm. By pushing the arm away from the back, terrible pressure is put on the shoulder. Sometimes, depending on the emphasis put on the leg, an elbow can also be harmed.

'Workout From Hell' Puts Fat To The Flames
this artical was written by ThePostGame Staff I posted this artical Because it seens like you get a fine work out with out paying alot of money on gym equiptment.....
"It's medieval and unbelievable." That's how fitness expert David Jack describes this "barbell complex" -- five exercises strung together to create one serious fat-loss routine. "It's a metabolic nightmare for your body, but in a good way," says Jack, a Men’s Health advisor and director of fitness at TeamWorks in Acton, Massachusetts.
Here at Men's Health, we don't actually call it a complex. We call it the workout from Hell. Try it just once and you'll no doubt agree: It incinerates fat and lights your muscles on fire. It may even leave you begging for mercy. (And if you really like tough workouts, make sure to try The Ultimate Fitness Challenge.)
Here’s how it works: You first put weight on the barbell. That's normal. But once you pick the barbell up, you never put it down, using the same weight to perform 5 consecutive exercises: the deadlift, straight-leg deadlift, barbell row, jump shrug, and hang clean. Watch the video below to see exactly how to do the routine.
The key: Choose your weight for all the exercises based on what you use for either the barbell row or the hang clean. These are the exercises in which you'll be the weakest. While this may seem too light when you start the routine, you'll quickly understand how challenging it can be. Do 8 reps of each exercise, then rest for 90 seconds. That’s one round. Try doing three to four rounds. This can be a workout on its own, or you can use it as “cardio” training at the end of your regular weight workout. (For more super-simple, fat-loss routines, check out the Fastest Cardio Workouts Ever.)

Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem Set for Year-End UFC Show
this artical was writter by Michal David Smith on September 6 2011 Last updated at 03:40 PM ET
Shortly after signing his UFC contract, Overeem told the Los Angeles Times that he's excited about the challenge of meeting Lesnar in the cage.
"Brock is a big name, a dangerous guy, and this is a dream matchup," Overeem said. "Brock's a big guy, an exciting wrestler with his takedowns. I want to see this fight myself. Overall, I'm a different fighter. A striker, athletic, big. These are going to be two big trucks going at it on a collision course."
Overeem's path to the UFC has been a strange one: When the UFC purchased Strikeforce, it seemed like only a matter of time before Overeem would step into the Octagon. But a contract dispute between UFC/Strikeforce parent company Zuffa and Overeem's management at Golden Glory led to Overeem being released by the company. Those issues, however, have obviously been resolved, and Overeem is now set to fight in the world's biggest MMA promotion for the first time.
Lesnar, meanwhile, has been out of action for nearly a year while recovering from diverticulitis. White recently said that Lesnar is 100 percent healthy, and Lesnar is apparently ready to start a training camp to meet Overeem.
The fight itself is a fascinating contrast of styles. Overeem may be the best striker in the heavyweight division, and Lesnar has struggled with his striking defense in his last couple of fights. But Overeem has never faced a wrestler nearly as good as Lesnar, and the muscular Overeem, who has grown accustomed to overpowering his opponents, also hasn't faced anyone as strong as Lesnar.
Lesnar vs. Overeem should be a sensational fight and an enormous pay-per-view draw. Combining that fight with heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez taking on Junior dos Santos on Fox in November, the UFC is positioning itself for some huge heavyweight attractions ahead.

Velasquez vs. Dos Santos Will Headline First UFC on Fox Event
this artical was written by By Michael David Smith on September 2 2011 Last updated at 01:05 PM ET
UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will defend his title against Junior dos Santos on network television.
UFC President Dana White announced on Friday that Velasquez vs. dos Santos will be the main event for the first UFC on Fox event, on November 12 in Anaheim, California.
"We deliver -- we deliver to the fans and we deliver to the partners and in my opinion we're delivering again," White said. "We're going with the most prestigious championship in all of sports -- the heavyweight title."
Velasquez vs. dos Santos had previously been scheduled to take place on November 19, as the main event of the UFC 139 pay-per-view event in San Jose. But the UFC wanted to hit a home run with its first Fox fight, and so it decided to take the heavyweight title bout off pay-per-view and onto network television.

Could Brock Lesnar be Heading for Retirement?
This artical was written by Rob Tatum
For nearly two years, one of mixed martial arts’ biggest draws has been forced to battle serious health issues. Reoccurring battles with diverticulitis have all but derailed the career of former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. As a result, a number of critics have speculated that his most recent encounter with the digestive disease will force Lesnar to retire after only seven professional bouts.
The former WWE superstar was forced out of a planned UFC 131 fight with Junior dos Santos in June, after the pair had coached against one another on The Ultimate Fighter. Rumors swirled that Lesnar wanted to return to professional wrestling, rather than compete inside the Octagon. Then the news broke that Lesnar was facing many of the same problems that forced him out of a title fight against Shane Carwin in late 2009.
Lesnar triumphantly returned to health and defended his belt in July of 2010, but would fall victim to current champ Cain Velasquez later that year. Lesnar hoped for a rematch against Velasquez with a victory over the Brazilian dos Santos, but with the recurrence of the disease, Lesnar instead opted for surgery in May. At the time, Lesnar vowed that he would not retire and that he would find a way to gain control over the disease.
Following the surgery, which removed a 12-inch section of Lesnar’s colon, Lesnar’s MMA career largely entered a state of limbo. The rumors and speculation have continued to grow with each passing day. Could Lesnar return and challenge for the belt yet again? Would the disease force Lesnar to retire at age 34, just four years into his MMA career? Many questions remain unanswered.
UFC President Dana White originally stated that Lesnar’s return would be targeted for early 2012, and Lesnar recently released a video through his sponsor declaring that he was back to health and that he feels like a “new man.” This video immediately sparked talk of when Lesnar would return to fighting. Some fueled the fire by claiming Lesnar would be facing former Strikeforce champ Alistair Overeem or have a rubber match against Frank Mir at UFC 140 this December.
However, multiple sources close to his camp tell a different story about the former champion’s condition. According to the sources, more than one doctor has informed Lesnar that he should no longer compete in the sport due to the stress that training and fighting puts on his body.
Could this mean that one of MMA’s biggest superstars will be retiring, rather than continuing his career? It’s not out of the realm of possibility. At the same time, could Lesnar ignore the doctors and fight anyway? Certainly. Regardless, the revelation does paint a gloomy picture of Lesnar’s future.
