Check it out!!!! Here at the UFC Official Website
LIDDELL IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew that he visited Hawai'i and stated that he may be fighting in February or March, and when that didn't happen I was a little disappointed but Holy Christ!! Versus SHOGUN?! What a comeback match! To be honest, this is the biggest bout for me, even more so than Silva's bout with Leites. Will the ICEMAN bring the ice age back? I can't wait to see it! Only 14 more days.............................
Oh, and I hope Dennis Kang does well this time, his performance recently has NOT lived up to his fame in previous years.
As for Cheik Congo....He'll probably win, not so worried about that guy. I just expect a great fight.
Hooray UFC 97!

Dream 7 - What a disappointment!
I'm not even going to bother saying who fought who. It's just not worth my time to mention it. I'm just going to say this though: FEG.....seriously. Either do a better job, or forget about the mma scene and at least to a half-ass job of promoting K-1, because right now you suck at both.

Parisyan on drugs?!
Wow....and guess what? It was all PAIN KILLERS!!! It sounds counter intuitive, since the drugs he took have drowsiness as a side effect, but I guess it gives you an upper hand when the other guy is trying to HURT you, meaning INFLICT PAIN.
Already, many fans are requesting the Kim vs Parisyan result be changed to "No Contest", and I agree. It was already another judging criteria problem that is a chronic problem with the UFC in my opinion, and this is just icing on the cake.
Go Kim!

Yoshida Yoshiyuki Clips
Speaking of Yoshida, here is my favorite clip... In truth, I'd like to show you his UFC debut fight but Zuffa is VERY efficient at keeping their fights off of YouTube. Sorry folks!
In this fight against Kikuchi Akira, pay special attention to the last minute and a half or so...If it was the UFC the ref would stopped it long before this ref did.
Brutal, isn't it.

Brandon Wolf vs Yoshida Yoshiyuki!!
Wow! Check it out! Another Hawaiian fighter is making it to the UFC! Brandon Wolf is scheduled to fight a very well established Japanese fighter, Yoshida Yoshiyuki, at UFC 98 on May 23rd, 2009. Considering that Wolf has a 7-4 record compared to Yoshida's 10-3, I don't quite know if this is the best match up, but we'll see.
Yoshida has only fought in the UFC twice, winning against War Machine with surprising ease but getting KO'd against Josh Koscheck. Wolf has only fought in the UFC once, losing to Ben Saunders in the same event Yoshida suffered his loss, UFC - Fight for the troops.
Considering that both are coming back from losses that were less than spectacular performance-wise, this fight is probably a chance for one of them to shine again and prove he is worth keeping in the Octagon. The other....maybe not so much. Of course, if they both manage to put up a spectacular fight, they might both be able to stay in the UFC.
I'm rooting for both of them..although maybe slightly more for Yoshida. Let's wish both of them the best of luck!

I miss you Serkan Yilmaz!!
Serkan Yilmaz is a Turkish fighter that used to fight several years ago... Unfortunately, due to severely biased decision losses to Japanese fighters forced him to quit K-1, never to return to the international stage. He was and still is one of my favorite fighters.

Vaseline?!!!!!
It appears that GSP may have had Vaseline applied to his neck, torso and back, which could explain why BJ had so much trouble controlling GSP's head and upper body on the ground. Considering all the blows that BJ ate because of this, this could very well have been a decisive factor...although to be honest, BJ may have lost anyway, just not as spectacularly.
Wow, huh? Who would have thought....I remember something similar happened with Chu Sung Hoon, or Akiyama Yoshihiro, who was banned from fighting for a year or so, over in K-1. What kind of punishment with GSP recieve, if any? We'll see.
Afterword: It seems that it turns out GSP had nothing to do with it, it was more the cornerman's fault. Whether he did it on purpose or not is not the issue anymore. They've changed the regulations so that only the Cutman can applay vaseline, and when this happens only one of the cutmen can remain in the cage, the other must step out.
Penn's side initially just wanted to make note of it, but because GSP's side responded with a "We ain't done nothing wrong, if you have a problem let's have a rematch" type of answer, they decided to go a step further and file a formal complaint, as well as accepting the rematch challenge.
I'm glad that they did file a formal complaint, but the rematch? Even without the vaseline, Penn is more likely to lose than not, if their last fight was any clue. I still think the vaseline could have played a somewhat significant role, but since Penn was being dominated even when NOT on his back, it probably wouldn't have changed the end result. Well, I do like Penn, I was really hoping he would live up to his words in this fight, and maybe he will train harder and really prove himself this time.

UFC 94 - BJP vs GSP, Kim Dong Hyun vs Parisyan
I am actually a fan of both BJ Penn and GSP...but I was kind of hoping BJ would win. Instead, what I saw was GSP relentlessly attacking BJ, who kept up his defense for a while until he fell apart. To be honest, it was quite disappointing. I was hoping for a more evenly matched fight.
I was also interested in the Kim Dong Hyun vs Parisyan fight, since I do have a Korean background and can't help but be drawn to Kim's rise in the MMA field as one of the few outstanding asians. This time, he was on the receiving end of a questionable decision, which was obvious from how many boos Parisyan got when his win was announced. I honestly think Kim should have won the decision as well, but then again I am not a judge, and do not know the exact criteria they are looking for. I am not criticizing the judge's judgement, only the current grading system. From the gist of what I've heard, it is surprisingly inadequate and needs drastic reform. But hey, whatever. Kim should have dominated if he really wanted to win that fight. Right?
