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.

An emotional Anderson Silva reacts to "Minotauro" Nogueira's victory at UFC 134

Originally posted by Joey Santosus on August 31, 2011, 11:47 AM CDT

The thousands of fans who packed the HSBC Arena for UFC 134 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil were on their feet cheering, chanting, booing and, when Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira knocked out Brendan Schaub, even crying.

After spending an extended layoff nursing injuries, the legendary Heavyweight came into the bout an underdog and was largely expected to be facing retirement once he lost to "The Hybrid." However, when "Big Nog" knocked out his less experienced opponent in the opening round, the Brazilian fans in attendance weren't the only ones erupting. Below is back stage footage of Nogueira's team reacting to his victory, including an emotional Anderson Silva crying tears of joy. Photo: Francis Specker

After another legendary performance at Saturday's UFC 134 event, middleweight champion Anderson Silva further solidified his status as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history.

But is the best fighter ever to compete in the UFC octagon?

In The Sunday Junkie, our weekly reader-feedback feature, Silva was the topic du jour. And this week's winner, Canada's Dan Williams, has one primary reason why it's too soon to determine Silva's all-time ranking in the UFC.

UFC boss remains a Griffin supporter, thanks expecting dad for taking UFC 134 fight

RIO DE JANEIRO – Following Forrest Griffin's devastating loss to fellow former champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at Saturday night's UFC 134 event, it was fairly evident that words were not going to console him.

So UFC president Dana White did the next best thing: He gave him a ride home.

Griffin who just moments before the evening's post-event press conference received a surprise announcement that his wife was ready to give birth to their daughter some nine days early, didn't make excuses for his performance. But White said he understood completely and wanted to get him back to Las Vegas ASAP.

White admits Nogueira staved off retirement at UFC 134, now free to think title run
by John Morgan on Aug 28, 2011 at 10:25 am ET
RIO DE JANEIRO – As impossible as it may seem for a man most consider to be one of the greatest heavyweights in MMA history, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira's UFC 134 win over Brendan Schaub may have been the single most important victory of his career.

You see, that's the win that allowed him to keep fighting.

While "Minotauro" remains adamant that retirement from the sport never crossed his mind despite a few recent setbacks, UFC president Dana White admitted he was already prepared to have "the talk" with the MMA legend.
