Frank Shamrock update

 

[Andres Munoz]

Thanks Casey. What was Shamrock's injury that he couldn't go on?

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

He broke his arm trying to block a Cung kick.

If you're a fan of Chuck Liddell and looking for something to read here's a link to a recent chat transcript from the L.A. Times.

I'm not sure if registration is required to view the page or not, it makes no difference to me as I am a registered user.

If you saw the last IFL show on HDNet where Ryan McGivern, Ryan Schultz and Roy Nelson were all victorious in championship matches the trio is back to defend their belts on May 16 in Uncasville Connecticut

The Schultz Vs. Deividas Taurosevicius fight could be a fun one.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Well, so much for my belief that Frank Mir should get the next shot at Nogueira's belt. Mir will be fighting at UFC 86 but it isn't going to be against Nogueira which as I note, begs the question of who is next for Nog?

Man the UFC Heavyweight division is hurting real bad.

Fight Night 13 betting odds

Man I'm pumped, between this, TUF, IFL on Friday and ShoXC on Saturday I'm going to be a busy man. Almost busy enough to forget I'm sick as a dog.

My Picks for tomorrow night's fight night.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Yamma issued a press release today talking about the first show, announcing an updated card and explaining the new fight surface that supposedly everyone is talking about.

Weigh-ins for Fight Night

Everybody made weight.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

I'm excited for tonight. I'll be doing some sort of TUF 7 Episode 1 recap but before that we'll have a Fight Night report

As I write this, preliminaries are underway.

TUF 7 Ep. 1 Thoughts/results

The show was structured exactly the way I thought it would be with 8 fights and most of them shown in highlight form.

Fight Night was really good and threw some of my rankings all out of wack. It is a good thing I've got until the end of the month to reorganize them.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

I have all but 100% decided to order/cover/review the Yamma show on the 11th. Yes, I have many many things I could better spend $34.95 on or whatever, but I just get the sense that this could be one of those all-time disasters that really could stand to be archived for historical purposes.

Why do I think this? Well, this is a good sign of bad things to come this has huge but histerical failure written on it.

Florian wants to fight Roger Huerta

I have no objections to that fight at all.

 

[Andres Munoz]

Fight Night was really good.

The Houston Alexander knockout was sick and yet hilarious to watch.

Nate Diaz has a very bright future ahead of him. I was surprised to see his brother Nick there but it's good to show support.

That kid Anthony Johnson looked good. Didn't give Tommy Speer a chance.

Kenny Florian, good as always. Him fighting Huerta would be sweet!

Was it just me or were there a lot of fights that were not aired? Manny Gamburyan, Clay Guida, George Sotiropoulos? I wanted to see their fights.

TUF 7 was interesting. I like how they PIP'd Dana and the coaches and you could hear their comments. I don't know if it's going to be like that on every fight but so far, I like it.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

They aired 7 of 12 fights on FN 13.

Both of Anthony Johnson's wins in the UFC have been quick, his first victory was at FN 10 in June of 07 and he won in 13 seconds.

IFL Live Coverage

and I'm happy it is at 7:30 central because I've had a long day and am dog tired but I'm here.

 

[JoshRas]

Tim Sylvia and Fedor are fighting July 19th most likely in Dallas. I dont have the link but its reported at various MMA sites.

I think Fedor will win but I wouldnt be shocked if Timmy has the underdog mentality and pulls off the upset...just to screw Randy, now that would be hilarious!

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Don't count your Fedor fights until they've ... ben fought, I guess. Yes, the fight is rumored and yes, it could happen, but when it comes to Fedor I won't believe it until it is signed and due to the M-1 Global silliness I might not believe it then.
Fedor's manager says no deal is in place, so we'll just wait and see.

In other words, sorry for being so quiet lately but I've had to do a lot more stuff lately due to my site co-owner's on-going relocation from his apartment in to a new house.

I decided to cover Yamma tomorrow, yeah this could be an all-time trainwreck of a show but if it is at least I'll have documented thoughts on it.

TUF last night was ok, I'm still not convinced we have the 16 best guys in the house but we do have 16 guys. I'd sure like to know how they came up with those matchups in the first place.

 

[Andres Munoz]

That was a sick knockout on TUF wasn't it? I've never heard anyone making a noise like that after being TKO'd and I believe "Rampage" made the same comment.

The guy kept saying "was that a real fight or training?",

Poor guy...he was f...d up! And his jaw might've been broken too.
