St Louis MMA fighters cheer up children at Shriners Hospital for Children

It is always good to post the good thing MMA Fighters do because you always hear the negitive.....

This artical was written by William Duggan St. Louis Martial Arts Fitness Examiner on November 18,2011.

TweetPrintEmail.In a recent visit, four MMA fighters, visited the Shriners Hospital for Children in the St Louis Metro area to spend time with children who otherwise would not get to meet such athletes. Kyle Watson, a UFC fighter, Cory Hunter and Hugh Pulley, fighters in the upcoming Faction MMA Rising fights this coming Saturday, November 19th, and Matt Jordan, owner of Faction MMA, visited the children of the St Louis Shriners Hospital for Children for an opportunity that the fighters and the children will not soon forget.

In an Interview with Matt Jordan, Owner of Faction MMA and MMA practitioner himself, he said that it was a great experience which could not be explained in words. When they reached the hospital the children were down and you could see that they were sad, but after a short while, the fighters and the kids were all playing and enjoying themselves, playing foosball, air hockey and other games. Matt also said “it was great to see the athletes, which are members of one of the most brutal sports, to become big softies with the kids”, and “to see the smiles come to the kids’ faces.”

MMA rookie and Olympian Ben Askren, UFC vet Din Thomas win in Missouri

This artical was written by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Feb 08, 2009 at 4:15 am ET

Former Olympian and two-time NCAA Division I national wrestling champion Ben Askren's first professional MMA fight was a quick one.

Askren (1-0), a former University of Missouri wrestler, scored a first-round TKO of Josh Flowers (0-3) at the Holiday Inn Expo Center in Columbia, Mo., at the debut Headhunters Fight League event.

Askren, the head wrestling instructor at American Top Team of Missouri, scored an early takedown and forced an 84-second stoppage after a subsequent ground-and-pound assault.

Askren, a four-time All-American, finished his collegiate wrestling career with a stellar 153-8 record with 91 pins. He went undefeated his junior and senior years with an 87-0 record.

Prior to competing in this year's Beijing Olympics, where he was knocked out of medal contention by eventual bronze medalist Cuba's Ivan Fundora, Askren announced his intentions of going pro in MMA.

As he recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), Askren knows his past accomplishments don't necessarily mean success in MMA.

"The thing in MMA is there's such a large skill set," Askren said. "I wrestled 17 years fulltime, so I picked up a lot of skills, some I can use still. I know how to get in shape. I know some good ways to work out.

"I know everyone in the room is going to be tough, and nothing's going to be easy (in MMA). There are no easy days, but it's like wrestling. You have to depend on yourself. The stronger man, the better man will win."

Also staking claim to a win at the event was former UFC fighter and "The Ultimate Fighter 4" cast member Din Thomas (23-8).

Thomas, who dropped from lightweight to featherweight for the fight, stopped Dustin Peiter (1-1) in the first round of the night's main event.

This artical was writter by By Ben Fowlkes Nov 20th 2011 4:43PM

Among the MMA media who log serious frequent flier miles following the UFC around the country all year, it takes something major to jar them out of the vague sense that fight night is another day at the office.

That's not to say that even the most grizzled road warriors on press row aren't appreciative of having a job they love following a sport they're passionate about, but when you start to hear the UFC's in-arena playlist in your sleep (damn you, techno remix of "Hotel California"!), some of the action can start to feel routine.

Then you get an event like UFC 139, which ended with quite possibly the best fight any of us had ever seen. As Dan Henderson and "Shogun" Rua battled back and forth for five rounds, a sense of baffled astonishment set in. It's that rare moment where you realize you're witnessing something amazing, even as that something is still happening. You could look at the faces of the fans in the arena and picture them preparing to tell their grandchildren about this night decades from now

How to Be a UFC Cage Fighter

This artical was written By eHow Contributor updated October 29, 2011

1 Find a gym that teaches mixed martial arts. Some gyms have trainers that specialize in MMA, while others have trainers that can work with newcomers on stand up and ground fighting skills.

2 Develop your stamina and watch your diet. This applies regardless of the sport. Fighters tend to need a high protein diet.

3 Enter as many competitions in kick boxing, grappling and amateur mixed martial arts as you can. Many of these early bouts will be low-paying affairs, but the experience is invaluable.

4 Send a tape of your performances to the UFC. Since UFC does not have the television exposure of other sports, the organization does not have an easy way to scout or evaluate talent. The UFC uses video to evaluate which new fighters it will book on any of its cards.

Dos Santos wins title as UFC tries to enter mainstream

This artical was published by Kansis Star on Nov 12

Viewers watching the first appearance of a mixed martial arts fight on network television got a taste of the sport’s violence but not much else Saturday night.

Junior Dos Santos stopped Cain Velasquez just 1 minute, 4 seconds into their Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title bout in Anaheim, Calif.

Dos Santos hit Velasquez with an overhand right early in the first round, staggering the previously unbeaten champion to the canvas. Dos Santos jumped onto Velasquez, who defended himself briefly before finally succumbing to Dos Santos’ relentless blows.

“I have no words to say what I’m feeling,” said Dos Santos, who burst into tears in celebration after raising his record to 14-1. “It’s amazing, my life. I have a lot of good people around me. I think Cain Velasquez was for sure my toughest opponent. I was afraid to fight with him, because he’s very tough. I was not 100 percent for this fight, so I was scared.”

UFC 141 press conference LIVE updates today (Nov. 11) for 'Lesnar vs Overeem' in Santa Monica

This artical was writen by by Brian Hemminger on Nov 11, 2011 4:54 PM EST in UFC Press Conference

Ultimate Fighting Championship will hold a public press conference today (Nov. 11, 2011) to officially announce UFC 141: "Lesnar vs Overeem," which will take place at the end of the year (Dec. 30, 2011).

The conference will begin at 5 p.m. ET live from the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California, although the fight event will be taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Scheduled to attend will be UFC president Dana White, as well as the headlining fighters of the evening, Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem, who will be battling for the right to challenge for the UFC heavyweight title.

Lesnar is the former UFC heavyweight champion. The ex-WWE superstar and national champion Minnesota wrestler lost his title last year to current champ Cain Velasquez. He's had a much publicized battle with diverticulitis which was (hopefully) finally cured with surgery earlier this year.

His opponent, Alistair Overeem, is one of the scariest heavyweights on the planet. The Dutch kickboxer has not lost an MMA fight since 2007 and left Strikeforce as the promotion's heavyweight champion. In his spare time, he also won the single night K-1 Heavyweight Grand Prix to become a kickboxing champion last year.

We'll have complete updates of the UFC 141 press conference after the jump:

Dana White Confirms UFC’s January Return to Brazil

Got this comment from Sher Dog website.

In wake of the tremendous success of UFC 134, UFC President Dana White made the decision to not stay away from Brazil for long. In fact, the promotion will head back to Rio de Janeiro in January, according to an announcement White made on Friday.

News of the UFC’s return was first revealed by referee Mario Yamasaki, who confirmed to Sherdog.com that Zuffa LLC representatives have asked him to be part of the show. White made the plans official in an interview with UOL, Brazil’s largest news website.

“Yes, the UFC will head back to Brazil by January, and we’re already working on the next UFC Rio,” White said. “[UFC CEO] Lorenzo [Fertitta] has been traveling around Brazil over the last few weeks to discuss this kind of question. We’re running against time to set the lineup and final details.”

Yamasaki admits he was caught off guard.

“The UFC called me to be the referee,” he said. “They sent me an e-mail asking if I would be available on Jan. 14. I didn’t know it wasn’t official, so I tweeted it. Then, all the Brazilian media jumped on it, and I immediately sent an e-mail asking for apologies. But, for sure, the UFC will be in Rio on Jan. 14. I also believe there will be other shows in Sao Paulo and Manaus.”

The UFC returned to Brazil in August after a 13-year absence, but preparations for that event were being made in December 2010. This time, matchmaker Joe Silva will have only two months to pair the fights. White does not seem concerned.

“I can’t give any further information about the deals for another UFC Rio show,” he said. “I can’t tell anything further, but I can assure that we signed everything in a record time.”

Yamasaki believes the UFC can give Rio de Janeiro’s fans another high-level lineup like UFC 134, which featured UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, onetime Pride Fighting Championships heavyweight titleholder Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. The referee told Sherdog.com the next show will not take place at the 16,000-seat HSBC Arena.

“The UFC has a plenty of possibilities to match up great fighters,” Yamasaki said. “They don’t need more than two days to define a lineup, and they will give the fans great fights again. Rio de Janeiro’s second show will take place somewhere other than HSBC Arena; maybe it will happen in a soccer stadium. The UFC website received 400,000 requests from people interested in tickets.”

MMA Cage Fighting

Cage fighting is one of the most physically demanding and downright dangerous sports in the world and it's popularity is exploding. MMA fighters must utilize the most effective techniques from a variety of martial arts to dominate their opponent. While MMA cagefighting is no longer billed as "no holds barred" the submission and choke holds used are frightening to even watch for the uninitiated.

Mixed Martial Arts cage fighting is a unique competitive sport where two adults fight in a padded chain link cage in a style similar to street fighting. Cage fighting has relatively few rules and can be a ruthless sport. Unlike boxing, Judo or kickboxing, cage fighting has only three main rules that state; “No gouging of the eyes, no fish hook to the mouth and no fingers in orifices”. Recent additions to the rules include rules regarding elbow striking.

Cage fighters use a combination of kick boxing and wrestling techniques to strike or choke their opponent into submission or render them unable to fight. MMA is a full-contact unarmed contest various techniques from the traditional range of disciplines, which include Thai boxing, submission wrestling, Ju Jujitsu, Judo and others. While mixed martial arts fighters spend a lot of time perfecting their martial arts skills, a MMA fight often more closely resembles a street brawl than a sport.

A new MMA Blog!

Its the weekend my busy time the oppisit of most but I found a great new blog about MMA/UFC you can check it out by clcking the title above...

Deadliest Warrior (a bit off topic)

I know this is not the regular UFC Topic but it it is an interesting concept that Spike has.This program uses history,science reserch and the latest in CGI technology to give an fair account on who would survive a battle such as Joan of Arc vs. William the Conqueror, Saddam Hussein vs. Pol Pot, Hannibal vs. Genghis Khan, US Army Rangers vs. North Korean Special Operations Force etc.I find this a cool show to watch.

The UFC has the same reason of thinking of this idea.To put 2 martial artest together in the ring or cage and let them fight it out to see who is the best.Way back when UFC first started back in 1993 you would see a wrestler vs an kung fu master.a brawler vs a boxer,a kick boxer vs an judo expert ect.I kinda like the early days better you would see not only who is the better fighter but you would see which martial arts is the best.I know due to safety regulations they had to do weight classes and the fighters themselves addopts other forms of martial art to improve there chances of winning.

Many fighters now would train in at least 2 forms or fighting skills such as karate or boxing kick boxing or any form or martial art that you use if the opponete wants to stand toe to toe with you and they will pratice in wrestling or judo if the adversary wants to take it to the ground.That todays UFC superstar is cover in the event.

Thats what the tern MMA or mixed martial arts came from well here is my 2 cents for oance but if you want some more info on The Deadliest Warrior go to the spike tv website by clicking the title above.....

UFC Fighters to Wrestle

This artical was written By Eric Cohen, About.com Guide

UFC is the undisputed leader in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. Since their first event in 1993 several of their stars have used their fame there to enter the world of professional wrestling. Recently, Brock Lesnar made the move in the other direction. The following men have fought in both the UFC and for a major American wrestling organization (WWE, WCW, TNA, or ECW). For more information about the world of MMA, make sure to check out the martial arts site on About.com.
Brock Lesnar


© 2008 ZUFFA, LLC.Brock Lesnar is the only WWE Champion to make the move from the squared circle to the octagon. While many mock pro wrestlers as being fake fighters, Lesnar proved to the world that only because someone is a pro wrestler doesn't mean they don't know how to fight. In only his fourth MMA fight, Lesnar won the most prestigious title in the business, the UFC Heavyweight Championship by beating UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture.


Dan Severn
"The Beast" Dan Severn made his first UFC appearance at UFC 4 where he lost in the tournament final to Royce Gracie. By the time he reentered the octagon and won the tournament at UFC 5, he was the holder of the NWA World Championship. Severn won that title from Chris Candido in February 1995. At that time, the belt signified that he was the best independent wrestler in the country. He entered the WWE in 1988 as part of an angle where the NWA invaded the WWE and left the company a year later. His only singles match on PPV was a loss to the Rock during the semi-final round of the 1998 King of the Ring Tournament. His UFC rival, Ken Shamrock, beat the Rock in the final round to win the tournament.
Frank Trigg
In the world of UFC, Trigg is most famous for losing twice to UFC Middleweight Champion Matt Hughes. Trigg appeared in TNA during 2008. He aligned himself with Kurt Angle and eventually had an MMA Match fought under amateur rules against AJ Styles at No Surrender. The match ended in a no contest following an "accidental" low blow from Trigg. The fans hated this match and verbally expressed their displeasure. Trigg hasn't appeared in TNA since.
Ken Shamrock
Ken Shamrock was already a star in the UFC when he appeared as the special guest referee during the classic WrestleMania 13 battle between Steve Austin and Bret Hart. From 1997 - 1999, Shamrock was a successful wrestler in the WWE and won the 1988 King of the Ring tournament, the Intercontinental Championship, and the WWE Tag Team Championship. At the very first TNA event in 2002, Shamrock won a gauntlet match to win the NWA World Championship. That title victory signified the return of the NWA Championship to national prominence.
Paul Varelans
"The Polar Bear" Paul Varelans was a star in UFC during the tournament era of the company. He became the first UFC star to enter the ring for a national wrestling company. In 1996, he fought Taz in the ECW Arena. Varelans lost that match via submission.
Tank Abbott
It only took Tank Abbott 18 seconds to become a fan favorite in the UFC as he knocked out the 400 pound John Matua in that amount of time in his first UFC match at UFC 6. Billed as a pit fighter, Abbott's unique look and attitude seemed to be a perfect fit for the world of wrestling. Abbott joined Ted Turner's WCW in 1999. During his short-time in the world of wrestling, Abbott went from being a tough guy to a comedy act as he became a big fan of the boy-band Three Count. WCW went out of business in early-2001.
Tony Halme (Ludvig Borga)
Tony Halme was better known to wrestling fans as Ludvig Borga. His only UFC match was at UFC 13 which took place on May 30, 1997. He lost to Randy Couture via submission in slightly less than a minute in the semifinal round of the Heavyweight Tournament. That match was also Randy Couture's first MMA match. After leaving both MMA and the world of wrestling, he became a boxer. In 2003, he was elected to Parliament in Finland. He passed away on January 10, 2010, a the age of 47.
