Gatti Killed Himself!

MONTREAL - A Quebec coroner's report into the 2009 death of champion boxer Arturo Gatti says there's no hard evidence anyone killed him. The long-awaited report by Jean Brochu was released Wednesday and was critical of the original police investigation and noted shortcomings in the U.S. findings. Brochu's conclusion was that Gatti died a "violent death" but foul play is not believed to be the cause of death. The probable cause of death was listed as asphyxiation by neck constriction.

Anderson Silva's days at being the middleweight champion may be numbered

If you saw UFC 136 Saturday night, Chael Sonnen called out Silva after running through Brian Stann.

Last time these two fought Sonnen beat up Silva for four and a half rounds, but was caught in a triangle choke at the end of the 5th round.

What's next for Anderson Silva?

After a dominating performance at UFC134 where does Anderson Silva go from here. Silva has pretty much wiped out his division with the exception of one fight against Chael Sonnen. For that fight to happen, Sonnen has to get by Brian Stann first. Will Anderson Silva wait for that fight? Will he look to fight GSP at 185 lbs.? I guess we will have to wait and see how the picture unfolds.

Mayweather says no drug test no Pacquiao fight

Floyd Mayweather Jr. told the Los Angeles Times “I don’t care how much money is negotiated, This is what I want. Look at how these guys become punch drunk in the sport. I’m sorry but all of a sudden a guy [Pacquiao] at age 25 becomes a great fighter? I want to be on a level playing field with this guy.” So if Manny Pacquiao doesn't agree with those terms, I guess we will never see this fight happen.

The Ultimate Fighter will now be live

Beginning with season 15 of The Ultimate Fighter, the fights will air live every week. And now the fans can have a say by texting in their votes to decide who won  each fight. Like previous seasons fighters will have to fight each other in an elimination process to see who is going to get in the house. Sounds interesting, I for one like the live fight idea. The 15th season of TUF will be broadcast on Fox's FX channel.

Mayweather Jr. being sued over connection with shooting

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is being sued by two men who say he orchestrated a shooting attack on them outside a Las Vegas skating rink two years ago. The lawsuit also claims that Mayweather and others have made threats to the two men since the attack.CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, says it is a civil lawsuit, and that the two men just want money from the boxer. Apparently the argument started when one of the two men, Quincey Williams, told Mayweather via text he hopes he loses his next fight. Mayweather Jr. denied even knowing Williams, but was seen on video and through witnesses, with him prior to the night of the shooting. Williams told the Review-Journal last year that he worked for Mayweather but quit because of the pay.

Tua vs Barrett 3rd fight at Wrestlemania XXVII?

Monte Barrett said he would have a third bout with David Tua, but only if it is at Wrestlemania this year. I guess Barrett is supposedly a friend of John Cena and passed the idea on to him. I'm sorry who would want to see two boxers in the ring wrestling? Yes, Barrett wants to wrestle at the event, not box. He even said he wanted a steel cage match. Are you kidding? For everyone's sake I hope this is a joke.

Chris Lytle ends his career with a submission.

Hardy Taps to Lytle

Chris Lytle and Dan Hardy stood toe to toe for two rounds and 4 mins and 15 seconds. Each fighter landing heavy shots. Then Hardy took a chance and went to shoot on Lytle with around a minute left in the fight. Chis ended up on top and caught Hardy in a guillotine choke, which he tapped out to with 45 seconds left in the fight. What a way to finish up a good career.

Chris Lytle to Retire?

Chris "Lights Out" Lytle has said that tonight after he takes on Dan Hardy in the UFC Versus 5 main event he will be retiring. He says his reasoning is because he does not spend as much time at home with his family. Many men retire only to come back because they miss the spotlight. I guess we will have to see if this is really his last fight.

Abner Mares wins title after repeatedly low blowing champion

Abner Mares took on Joseph Agbeko for The IBF Bantamweight Championship last night. During the fight Mares hit the Agbeko with low blows in just about every round. Referee Russell Mora was blaming Agbeko for pushing Mares head down, which he wasn't doing. In the 11th round The champion again was hit blatantly low, which made Agbeko go down in pain, the referee called it a knock down. Being that the fight was so close the 10-8 round made it almost impossible for the champ to come back unless he scored a knockout. Mares became the new champion. After the fight Russell Mora the referee was asked why he didn't take any points away for the punches under the belt, all he could say was that from his point he thought they were on the belt line. This guy should never be able to referee a title fight again. And as for the belt the IBF should make an immediate rematch, and give Agbeko a real chance to win in the ring, since he didn't have a chance last night.

Kimbo Slice Destroys in First Boxing Bout

In seventeen seconds, Kimbo Slice ran through the first boxing opponent he's faced since entering the world of mixed martial arts. He fought against James Wade, who is 0-2. I think boxing is the right place for him, though I will miss the possibility of seeing him body slam the likes of Houston Alexander.

Will Dan Henderson join the UFC?

Dan Henderson is the Strikeforce Light-Heavyweight champion. But that may not be for long because he might be joining the UFC. Henderson's Strikeforce contract ended after his last fight, where he defeated Fedor Emelianenko by TKO. With little or no competition in Strikeforce, Henderson could jump ship to the UFC and get a shot at the light-heavy weight title in his first fight there. I personally can't see him staying with Strikeforce. I guess it all depends on what the UFC is willing to pay him.

Steve Mazzagatti what are you doing?

Last night I am watching Strikeforce challengers on Showtime. There was a women's fight on the card, Ronda Rousey vs. Sarah D'Alelio. Steve Mazzagatti is the referee. In the first round Rousey catches D'Alelio in an armbar, it is in deep, she was in trouble. So Rousey yells to the ref she tapped out or something to that affect, and instead of deciding for himself, Mazzagatti listens to Rousey and stops the fight. Well after about a dozen replays it is obvious she did not tap nor yell tap like he started to say afterwards. I'm starting to see why BrocK Lesnar said he wanted to punch Mazzagatti's stupid mustache off his face. You don't listen to the fighter, you are the referee, you are in charge.

Alistair Overeem UFC?

Alistair Overeem who was apparently let go by Strikeforce, is supposedly in talks with the UFC about a new contract. According to Bas Boon who represents Overeem through the management firm Golden Glory, they are in a negotiating period with Zuffa right now. Zuffa as you know owns the UFC and Strikeforce.

Age just a number for Hopkins!

The 46 year old Light Heavyweight Champion of the world will yet again set to prove that age is just a number. When he takes on the 29 year old Chad Dawson on Oct. 15 for the WBC belt. Will Dawson underestimate the power and quickness of Hopkins just like everyone who has fought him in recent years? Chad needs to remember one thing, and that is most people aren't Bernard Hopkins. There is a reason why the man is still on top and holds the title.

Best UFC Knockouts Compilation Video



This is a great video highlighting some of the best knockouts in the UFC. The big question is: which knockouts are missing??

Proof Arturo Gatti did not kill himself?

Apparently Arturo Gatti's former manager Pat Lynch hired a private investigator to look into the death of the former boxer. The Brazilian police have said, and till this day still say it was suicide. Lynch  remains certain the former champion did not take his own life and is set out to prove so. "There were too many things that were left open, too many unanswered questions," Lynch said. There will be a press conference held at the end of the month with more details on the findings. Will this prove that Arturo Gatti was actually murdered? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Could this be the end of "The Outlaw" in the UFC?

After Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy won his first 4 fights in the UFC, he was granted a title shot against George St. Pierre, who handed him his first loss. After that Hardy has not won a fight since, losing to Carlos Condit and Anthony Johnson. This Sunday on the UFC Versus 5 card he will fight in the main event against a very game opponent in Chris Lytle. Could a loss mean he will be released from the UFC? Most fighters fight their best when their backs are up against the wall. Can Hardy prevail? I guess we will have to see this Sunday.

The End of a Legend?

Is this the end for Fedor, or does he still have a significant win left?
