Yeah, it doesn't look like he improved a bit on the ground. I wouldn't train shit else except working off of my back if I was him.

Demian Maia vs Nate Quarry UFC 91 fight possible
By: MMAmania
Undefeated Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist Demian Maia (8-0) will likely return to middleweight action against The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 1 alum, Nate Quarry (10-2), at UFC 91: €œCouture vs. Lesnar€ at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 15, according to Tatame.com.
Here€™s a sip from Maia on the match up:€œI didn€™t study his fights yet, I€™ll receive a DVD with his fights, but I only watch my opponents€™ fights when the fight gets closer. I€™m training a lot my stand up game like for the last fight, but every time I can I do some BJJ trainings.€
That€™s a smart approach to this type of fight because Maia €” a 2007 Abu Dhabi tournament winner €” doesn€™t need to improve much on the ground.
He has won all three of his 185-pound bouts inside the Octagon since his debut with the promotion at UFC 77: €œHostile Territory€ back in October 2007. And he€™s come out on top in each one of those contests in style, defeating Ryan Jensen, Ed Herman and Jason MacDonald by way of submission and earning €œSubmission of the Night€ honors for all of those wins.
It€™s a remarkable streak, which he will look to keep intact against the heavy-handed €œRock.€
Quarry is undefeated (2-0) since a nearly two-year break from competition to recover from a serious injury that required €œspinal fusion€ surgery to repair. He stopped Pete Sell via come from behind third round knockout in his return fight and outpointed Kalib Starnes on all three judges scorecards in his most recent performance.
This is a fine addition to a card that already includes the €œBiggest Fight in UFC History€ between heavyweight champion Randy Couture and Brock Lesnar as the marquee attraction.
|
Should be a good one. Being a product of Team Quest and being extremely intelligent, Quarry just might have what it takes to keep the fight standing and win a decision. I'm a big Maia fan, but I think this is a bad match for him.

Houston Alexander Couldn’t Hear at the Ultimate Fight Night
September 18, 2008 · Filed Under Quotes, UFC
“The crowd was so loud that I couldn’t hear my corner. If I heard them and knew, you know, there are 10 seconds left, five seconds left, whatever, I would have tried to hung in there a little longer and survived. But it was so loud and these people were supporting me so much, I couldn’t hear and I had to tap.”
Houston Alexander blames the fans in Omaha Nebraska for tapping out when he could of held on for a second round. Alexander told Yahoo Sports today that the crowd was so loud he couldn’t hear his corner causing him to tap out when there was only seconds left on the clock. Many believed that Alexander could of won this fight against Eric Schafer but things didn’t work out as planned and Alexander got his 3rd straight loss in the UFC Octagon.

He was never in danger ... especially on that sub!!! ... of getting anything broken or torn only of getting put to sleep. He didn't have to tap, he pussed out.
The worst kind of choke sub to be on the receiving end of is an RNC or a triangle choke where you get neck cranked at the same time. It feels like your entire head is going to pop up like a pez dispenser and pieces of your brain are going to squeeze out like a zit and land all over the audience. It fucking hurts, but nothing like the pain of an arm or knee sub. He wussed out in a few short seconds ...
---------------------------------------------
I think every fan of MMA should get choked out at least once just to see how it feels. AKIRA ... choke out ReproBro for us and post the results. RNC without the neck crank is the easiest and safest. You can do it in a chair from behind him, then trade places (after he wakes up and he's stable) and let ReproBro choke you out. Let someone video it so that afterwards you can post it on youtube & we can all watch 
Hell this chick gets choked out and takes it no problem ...
Even sissy radio dj's can take it ...
Homeboy Alexander shouldn't have tapped  |

Jesse Taylor vs Drew Fickett Total Combat fight booked October 2
By: James Iannotti
The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 7 castoff Jesse Taylor (6-3) — who was cut from the UFC for the second time in July following a loss to fellow housemate CB Dolloway as well as some questionable comments about the Rampage Jackson situation — didn’t have much trouble finding work outside the Octagon.
“Cocoa the Monkey” will compete in the main event at Total Combat 32: “Notorious” at the Sycuan Casino & Resort, which is just outside of San Diego, Calif., on October 2. The former middleweight will make the move down to 170 pounds to face Drew “The Master” Fickett (35-6).
Fickett is a huge step up in competition for Taylor. In fact, he hasn’t faced anybody with even half the experience of “The Master.” To make matters worse, the experience isn’t even the only thing that makes this match up look one-sided.
All three of Taylor’s career losses have been by submissions, which is Fickett’s strongest attribute as a fighter. In fact, he’s won by way of tapout 24 times in his career. Therfore, if Taylor had trouble with Dolloway’s submissions then one can imagine what kind of problems a technician the caliber of Fickett poses for him.
Regardless, Taylor is going to be a beast at welterweight. And it’ll be interesting to see just how much of a strength advantage he’ll have at 170 pounds. He was known for his wrestling and control while on the show and he’ll need to be at the top of his game in those areas to have any chance at all against “The Master.”
Kim Couture — wife of UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture — will also be in action at Total Combat 32 “Notorious,” facing Team Quest product Megan Gangitano.
Total Combat also just announced a partnership with MTV 3, which will be the new home for the mixed martial arts organization.

UFC Fight Night 15 official salaries: Diaz, Sakara, Guida and Belcher top earners
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Sep 22, 2008 at 2:24 pm ET
Headliner Nate Diaz was the big winner at the Sept. 17 UFC Fight Night 15 event; not only did he score a tough decision victory over Josh Neer, but he also scored the biggest reported payday with $40,000.
MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) requested and today received the list of official salaries from the Nebraska Athletic Commission, which oversaw the event at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Neb.
The total disclosed payroll for UFC Fight Night 15 was $305,000.
Other top earners included fight-night winners Wilson Gouveia ($36,000), Alessio Sakara ($34,000), Clay Guida ($26,000) and Alan Belcher ($26,000).
All fighters doubled their base salaries with their "win bonuses," which is reflected in the figures below.
These figures do not include four $30,000 "fight night" bonuses the UFC awarded after the event. As we previously reported, Diaz and Neer split Fight of the Night honors, Sakara earned the Knockout of the Night, and Gouveia secured the Submission of the Night bonus.
UFC Fight Night 15, which was the first-ever UFC event held in Nebraska, reportedly drew more than 9,000 fans for a record venue $700,000 live gate. UFC President Dana White has already hinted that the organization could return to the state for a major pay-per-view event in the future since the "Fight Night" event proved so successful.
The full list of salaries included:
Now, the usual disclaimer. The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker-room" or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. In other words, these are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.

Nate Diaz is really making his mark. The UFC is good to him, he is definitely being built up, but not babied. I'd like to see where this kid can go.
They aren't just throwing him to the lions, which is good.

Yeah, he has impressed me more each time out. Only Nick can't stop making scenes at press conferneces and did it at Nate's. Those 2 idiots stormed out of there before Nate really got to talk.

That was slick as hell, Ishida is too good for most of Strikeforce IMO. Hopefully we can see him versus Josh Thompson.

^^ Yeah, Alistair was taking it to him until the low-blows. Pissed that this was a NC because I had money riding on Overeem.

Fedor Emelianenko aiming for return at DREAM's year-end event
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Sep 23, 2008 at 9:34 am ET
Veteran Russian fighter and reigning WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko is hoping to return to Japan for a likely but currently unannounced year-end, DREAM.7 event.
Emelianenko confirmed his interest in fighting on the New Year's Eve card while addressing the crowd at Tuesday's DREAM.6 show, which took place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
Emelianenko, a veteran of the Japan-based and now-defunct PRIDE Fighting Championships, has been a longtime fixture on the Japanese New Year's Eve shows. However, the soon-to-be 32-year-old fighter is also expected to fight Jan. 17 at an Affliction show in Anaheim, Calif.
Even for a dominant fighter such as Emelianenko, taking two fights in a three-week span has the potential for trouble. Unless he'd emerge from the DREAM bout all but unscathed, the Affliction fight -- one that he will likely headline -- would be in jeopardy.
That Affliction event, "Day of Reckoning," was originally scheduled for Oct. 17 in Las Vegas. Emelianenko had been scheduled to fight Andrei Arlovski in the night's main event, but he later pulled out of the show with a hand injury. Arlovski was then slated to headline the event against Josh Barnett.
After securing a partnership with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Productions, Affliction recently decided to postponed the event until Jan. 17. As MMAjunkie.com ( UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) reported last week, Affliction Vice President now expects Emelianenko to be on the card, though he said an opponent has not been determined.
"Day of Reckoning" will now take place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. -- which hosted Affliction's debut event back in July -- and Atencio said the Barnett vs. Arlovski fight will go on as planned.
Emelianenko last fought in July at "Affliction: Banned" and scored a 36-second submission victory over former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia. The victory -- his sixth straight via submission -- pushed his overall career record to 28-1.
no that the show has been put back and fedor will be fit who does he fight if barnett and arlovski goes ahead ?
what about the up kick Souza takes he went limp as soon as it lands

I think Fedor will more than likely fight the Japanese Judoka on NYE considering he's already agreed to fight on the Affliction card a month later. Overeem vs. Fedor could be fun though.

I thought Jacare had that tournement won...damn. You don't see that kind of knockout too often.
Jacare commits to takedowns like noone else I've seen except maybe Clay Guida, except Jacare is more athletic.

Yeah Jacare is the real deal, and he's relatively new to the sport. Another year or 2 and watch out.

I'm not so sure there's much left for Crocop. Just too many battles over the years.

Arlovski-Nelson Tapped for CBS
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
by Loretta Hunt (lhunt@sherdog.com)
At least two fighters will not sit on the sidelines following the postponement of Affliction’s Oct. 4 “Day of Reckoning” event in Las Vegas.
Former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski (13-5) and IFL kingpin Roy Nelson (13-2) have been offered a heavyweight bout at EliteXC “Heat” Oct. 4 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. The event will be aired live on CBS.
Arlovski’s management team would not comment Wednesday on the proposed bout, while Nelson’s attorney, Rod Donohoo, also refrained from remarks. However, Sherdog.com has learned from separate sources that both fighters have agreed in principle to the match and that contracts have been issued for review.
The Belarusian-born striker unloaded a thrilling wave of jabs, straights, and fatal uppercuts en route to his early third-round TKO over IFL standout Ben Rothwell at Affliction “Banned” on July 19 in Anaheim, Calif. The victory capped off a four-fight win streak for the former UFC heavyweight champion, who rebounded from back-to-back Octagon losses to former champ Tim Sylvia in 2006. Unable to come to terms on a new contract with the UFC, the 29-year-old Arlovski walked away from the famed Octagon last July after eight years of service and a whopping fourteen appearances inside of it. He signed a three-fight, non-exclusive contract with Affliction Entertainment shortly after.
A grappler by trade, Nelson actually rose to the top of the IFL's heavyweight crop with his unflinching striking, netting five back-to-back victories before the promotion met its demise this past summer. Nelson, 32, captured IFL gold with a second-round knockout of Brazilian wrestler Antoine Jaoude at the IFL “Would Grand Prix” finals in December 2007. The 32-year-old Las Vegas Native has banked his last four victories from KO or TKO. His only loss in the IFL came to Rothwell, who eked past Nelson with a split decision in April 2007.
The last-minute addition will be presented as an Affiction-EliteXC co-promoted fight, and adds quite a punch to an already anticipated roster featuring a showdown between former Internet brawler Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson and UFC Hall-of-Famer Ken Shamrock. Female sensation Gina Carano is also on board to take on Kelly Kobald-Gavin in a 140-pound bout.
