Hunt prepared to send Lesnar back to pro wrestling
mercredi 29 juin 2016
TweetMark Hunt sums up his fight against Brock Lesnar this Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 200 succinctly.“If he can’t get me down in the first round, he’s getting knocked out.”In 2009, when Lesnar was the UFC heavyweight champion and the most intimidating man in MMA, Hunt’s confidence would’ve seemed delusional. At that time, Hunt had not won a fight in years. The “Super Samoan” seemed all but washed up as he floundered in Japanese promotions.A lot has changed since then. Hunt is now ranked eighth in the UFC’s heavyweight division after ... Read the Full Article Here

lundi 27 juin 2016
TweetIt was already a long day for Ronda Rousey, but you couldn’t tell it by looking at her or seeing her interact with the people lining up to get pictures with her. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the historic MMA bill into law in New York City in April. And at Madison Square Garden that day, Rousey had flown in from California, took part in the photo ops and speeches, and now it was about to wind down. But backstage, politicians, workers from Albany, and seemingly anyone and everyone who was there asked Rousey for a few moments for a selfie or a chat, and the former women’s ban ...

'Smile'N' Alvey ready for Octagon return
vendredi 17 juin 2016
TweetOne phone call to Sam Alvey and you realize that the whole “Smile’N” Sam thing is no act, as the theme from “The Muppet Movie” plays while you wait for the middleweight up-and-comer to pick up. “My wife and I both have it,” he explains. “Every time we call each other, we smile, whether we’re mad at each other or not.”That smile was tested over the last 10 months. First Alvey lost his first fight since 2014 to Derek Brunson in August, getting knocked out for the first time in the process. Then he broke his jaw in training in Decem ...
