True or not, speculation has it that after losing the UFC championship belt to Cain Velasquez last October Brock Lesnar is leaving the UFC and is going back to his former home WWE. But fans tend to disagree, if that is in fact his plan. There is still room for Lesnar in the UFC, if only he is willing to make some changes in his training regimen to make his fighting style more versatile.  Many believes that Brock is at home in the UFC. The wolrd of mix martial arts won't be the same without him. Maybe he can start with using best colon cleanser, so that his diverticulitis won't come back.

I have said so many times that I am a big fan of Brock Lesnar, the MMA for that matter. I was one of the millions who anticipated Lesnar's last fight against the undefeated Cain Velasquez. I have to admit that I was a bit weary Velasquez' records says a lot about him and there is no way we can underestimate his capability. And I was not mistaken, it was as if I had all the reasons to be anxious because Brock lost, lost in a very disappointing manner.

For me it was a very humiliating lose. Lesnar was bombarded with a fury of punches by Velasquez and he was not able to defend himself which lead to fight stoppage. A stoppage which occurred in the first round and I believe, even if I am a Lesnar fan, that the referee made the right decision. It was heart breaking but sometimes we have to accept to accept the fact that we can't win in every game we play. 

With only less than hour to go before UFC 121 starts I am excited and nervous at the same time. Knowing that my other favorite MMA fighter, besides GSP of course, Brock Lesnar is going to face an undefeated MMA fighter both in his MMA and UFC career. Cain Velasquez is not an easy block to overcome. The last fighter Cain defeated is no less than Antonio Rodrogi Noguera at UFC 110. 

I was not able to watch Cain's last figh against Noguera but based on his skill chart he is a well rounded fighter with high percentages on his grappling and striking skills. In most of his pre-fight interviews Cain firmly believes that he's got the right tools to beat a Brock Lesnar. 

So to all of Lesnar's fans all over the world good luck and enjoy the fight. I just hope it won't be as disappointing as his last fight.

Another exciting line of fights awaits all the avid UFC fans in the upcoming UFC 119, tonight at Indianapolis, Indiana. It will be headed by the main event a head to head battle against two of the most feared heavyweight fighters in the UFC, Frank Mir vs. Mirco "Cro Cop" Filipovic. The co-main event is equally electrifying match between two light heavyweight fighters, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Minotuaro's twin brother) against Ryan Bader who just climbed up to the said weight level.

Watch out fight fans and brace yourself for another nerve cracking fights from your favorite MMA fighters and the UFC.

I was not able to see the fight because if I wanted to I have to subscribe to pay-per-view. So I basically got my result from the internet. And I am happy to announce that prediction was right, Brock Lesnar won over Shane Carwin via an arm-triangle choke which lead to Carwin to tap out in the second round. According to the news during the first round Carwin was barraging Lesnar with a fury of punches but Lesnar was able to withstand that and fought back in the second round and eventually won the fight.

Go Brock! I can't wait to watch the fight later tonight (Philippines time), although I know he won already I would still wanna see how he did it.

The long awaited fight between two of the most exciting heavy weight MMA fighters in the UFC is finally going to happened tomorrow. The fight between BrockLesnar and Shane Carwin has been put on hold due to the recent sickness that the Brock suffered. They were suppose to face each other in UFC 106 but it did not push through. There fight was rescheduled to January 02, 2010 but again it did not materialize because Brock was still sick and this time it was serious. He was diagnosed to have diverticulitis. But after his miraculous recovery, finally after more than six months the much anticipated match is going to happened.

Predictions? Well I will go with what my gut tells me. It would Lesnar!

Watch UFC 110 which will be held for the first time in the land down under, Sydney, Australia. The main event will feature two of the best heavyweight MMA figthers today. The former UFC and Pride champion Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira will be facing unbeaten young fighter Cain Velasquez. Also in the co-main event will be Britain's pride Michael Bisping going up against Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva.

UfC 110 will be held at Sydney's Acer Arena and will be shown live over at pay-per-view, tomorrow February 20.

I cannot described how much I missed watching Brock Lesnar fight inside the octagon. I was anticipating his match against Shane Carwin and was deeply saddened when I heard about it being moved to another date because Lesnar was sick. But then the worst news was that Lesnar was not just suffering from ordinary cold or diarrhea but was sick of something very, very serious. He was reported to be suffering from a serious type of diverticulitis which lead to a complication that affected his immune system. He was suppose to be scheduled for an operation due to some perforations in his large intestine causing leakage of fecal materials. I was distraught upon hearing this sad news since the doctors said that he might not be able to fight for a while and needs to rest for a year or two or worst case scenario not able to go back to mix martial arts and to fighting ever again. But a miracle happened, latest reports says that Lesnar is completely healed. He is expected to go back to training and will return to the octagon as early as this summer.

When he returns his first fight will probably be against the winner of the fight between Frank Mir and Shane Carwin. Will be looking forward to that. Welcome back Brock so happy you are back and will continue praying for your full recovery.

can you imagine how a guy as big as this can get sick! LOL..

UFC Heavy Weight champion Brock Lesnar has been reported sick for more than two weeks now. That is the reason why he has to postponed his scheduled title defense against Shane Carwin which was supposed to be on November 21.

Lesnar is said to be suffering from upper respiratory issues, fever and severe body fatigue. It is suspected, although not proven yet, that he might be suffering from AH1N1. But is said to be beyond the allowable time to be tested to rule out that kind of illness.

Carwin and Lesnar's bout is moved to January 02, 2010 with other exciting fights as undercards. Fights like Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort for the middle weight division and Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Alves. UFC 108 promises to be one exciting night heart pounding, breath taking UFC action night.

Lyoto Machida in action

Current Light Heavy Weight champion of the UFC will again step inside the octagon to defend his title this time to face a former PRIDE star Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.

Kevin Ferguson or more popularly known as Kimbo Slice is the newest buzz in the world of Mix Martial Arts today. He is part of the upcoming "Ultimate Fighter 10", this is Kimbo's way of getting into the UFC.

Kimbo Slice used to be an underground fighter, he is popular among those have been following street fighting videos over the internet. He then turned pro and signed with EliteXC in 2007, but the following year Elite went down Kimbo became a free agent.

Now he will try to make a mark in one of the most popular MMA organization in the world. But UFC's big boss Dana White said that if Kimbo wants to make it in the UFC he has to earn his place.

Here is a video of Kimbo's fight against Tank Abbot.

UFC is jam packed with great and exciting fights this August as UFC 101 : Declaration and UFC 102: Couture vs. Nogueira is scheduled to happen come August 08 and August 29, respectively.

UFC 101's main event features two of the best light weight MMA fighters today, current light weight champion BJ Penn will defend his title against Kenny Florian the number one contender. Former light heavy weight champ and Ultimate Figther season one winner Forest Griffin will also be seen inside the octagon this time against the pound-for-pound king of mixed martial arts and current light heavy weight champ Anderson Silva.

UFC 102 will be the battle of the veterans, as Randy "The Natural" Couture faces Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira. Both fighters are former heavy weight champs, they will try to regain the lost belt but first they would have to face each other. Co-feature event will be the match between Thiago Silva versus Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine. They are two of the heavy contenders in the light heavy weight division.


Philadelphia will be the venue for the UFC 101, as UFC makes it debut in the Watchova Center while UFC 102 will be shown live from the Rose Garden Arena in Oregon.

Lidell's fight against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua ended with Rua winning via a TKO in the first round. His fight before that was against the current heavy weight champion and undefeated Rashad "Sugar" Evans that also ended in a second round TKO by Evans.

During the post fight press conference of the UFC 93 last January 17, 2009, Dana White, UFC big boss, announced that after Lidell will be retiring after his fight with Rua at the UFC 97. White reiterated that the decision was made because he cares for his fighter's health and well being.

UFC fans who witnessed Lidell's last fight against Rua at Montreal, Canada last April 18, 2009 witnessed another heartbreaking loss. Avid fans of the "Iceman" would have wanted a more graceful expert by one of the legends of the sports.

Lidell was known to be one of the reason why mix martial arts catapulted into the mainstream American sports and entertainment. His presence will truly be missed inside the octagon.

The next big thing is coming your way UFC fans as UFC 96 heads back for the third time to the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio this March 7, an event presented to you by the king of motorcycles Harley Davidson.

The main event for that night will be the match between former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine. The last time Jackson entered the octagon was last December where he beat Wanderlei Silva via a first round knockout. Jackson will be an inch closer to regaining his title by facing Jardine the one man who beat both Chuck Lidell and Forest Griffin.

Aside from the much awaited main event also featured is our very own Filipino MMA fighter Brandon "The Truth" Vera who will be facing Michael Patt. Vera's fight against Fabricio Werdum, which was his second loss in the UFC was via a controversial referee stoppage. After that he moved to the light heavyweight and this is his second fight in that division.
