UFC 123: Forrest Griffin vs. Jon Jones

Wat is er trouwens nog weinig bekend over de match-ups van 122. UFC 121 is al bijna compleet en van 123 zijn er reeds 2 (mogelijke) main card gevechten bekend.

Daar zou ik niet lang over hoeven nadenken.

Alhoewel ik het natuurlijk hypte is het lang geen lame fight.
Je weet op dit moment totaal niet waartoe Toney in staat is en ook de vraag hoe 'jong'
Couture zal aantreden hebben we nog geen antwoord. Dit kan inderdaad een waardeloze pot worden
en ik ben het absoluut niet eens met de match making (zoals ik al vanaf day 1 roep)
maar het is nog veel te vroeg om nu al te zeggen dat dit gevecht kut gaat wezen imo

Griffin was perfect voor Silva, hij rent naar voren met sloppy stand-up en is relatief sloom. Griffin is gewoon die ring ingeflikkerd om te verliezen

U.S. Attorney Says Carwin Obtained Steroids

Shane Carwin has been named by a U.S. attorney as one of 22 professional athletes who obtained steroids through an Alabama pharmacy, the Mobile Press Register reported Friday on AI.com.

A federal judge sentenced J. Michael Bennett, the supervising pharmacist at Applied Pharmacy Services, to four years in prison for his participation in a nationwide conspiracy to sell anabolic steroids made in Mobile, Ala. He had been convicted on steroid charges on Feb. 8, 2009, along with the owners of the pharmacy and the owner of a clinic. Bennett’s co-defendants have not yet been sentenced.

Applied Pharmacy Services shipped 762,388 dosages of steroids to 17 doctors and clinics from April 4, 2004, until Aug. 30, 2006, according to court records reported by AI.com.

In court Friday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna Dobbins named several athletes, including Carwin, who had obtained steroids with Bennett’s help.

The 35-year-old Carwin began his MMA career with a win in October 2005. He debuted in the UFC in May 2008 and fought for the heavyweight title last month against Brock Lesnar -- Carwin’s only loss.

His manager, Jason Genet, told MMAFighting.com that Carwin plans to make a statement at a later date.

Gewoon omdat Toney zijn eerste mma partij gaat draaien op de main card van de ufc en gezien zijn conditie/training wordt dat een fiasco,dat levert schade op voor de ufc, de fans willen hoogstaande gevechten zien van pro's, zelfs hondebrok,moest eerst ervaring opdoen buiten de ufc!
Dat van Carwin zijn maar geruchten,waarvoor al helemaal nog geen bewijs is! zijn testen zijn altijd negatief, zelfs leben en sherk,mochten nog blijven nadat ze betrapt waren.

Randy Couture Talks UFC 118, James Toney, Boxing vs. MMA, More

On Toney's claims he can end the fight with his strikes from any position:
"I'm not terribly concerned. I've been in there with a lot of big, strong guys – and had them on their backs – who I'm sure hit just as hard as James does. Technique changes when you're laying on your back or sitting on your butt. The mechanics of a punch are different in those circumstances. Certainly I have a gameplan for the ground, and I'm not terribly worried about being knocked out from that position."

On Toney taking his boxing strategies into MMA
: "My estimation is that there definitely needs to be some adjustments made. There are a couple other things that need to be accounted for with that particular stance and style of boxing, and I think that's what a lot of boxers in general, when they look at MMA, they fail to understand. With the takedowns and the punching and the kicking and the dirty boxing and clinchwork that takes place in mixed martial arts, you have to change your stance. You have to kind of change your fighting style a little bit in a pure boxing perspective."

On comparisons between his fight and Rey Mercer vs. Tim Sylvia in 2009
: "There wasn't a whole lot of fighting going on there. It was basically over pretty quickly. I don't think Tim's gameplan with Ray was very astute. He stepped right into range and kind of advocated that kind of a firefight. Those kind of things happen in that kind of fight."

On his gameplan going into the fight: "I have a particular gameplan to put myself in positions that will give me the best opportunity to win. Whether or not my opponent presents the opportunity for me to submit him or not, it's not really up to me. It's not something that can I focus on. I can certainly create those situations or try and create positions that will allow me to look for submissions, but I'm just as content to sit on top of him and pound him out. If a submission comes, it comes."

On representing MMA in this fight:
"I've been representing mixed martial arts in a lot of venues for a long time. Back when this sport was being banned all over and most people didn't understand who we were or what we did, coming from an Olympic sports background as a bona fide world-class athlete, I ended up representing the sport a lot. It's an honor for me to be considered for this fight and to kind of carry the mixed-martial-arts mantle."

On facing Toney:
"James poses a little bit different problems. I've faced a lot of strikers, but I've not faced a striker like James. James has a unique boxing style, he sets things up a particular way, and I've had to adjust tactics and train to fit that and to try and be effective in a little bit different way. It's a mixed martial arts bout in my mind, certainly. The question is what are the skillsets and what are the things James is going to be able to learn and try to execute in this fight. That's going to determine how much it's just boxing versus MMA. Obviously the rules of engagement for me are purely MMA. It'll be interesting to see what other things James develops specifically for this fight."¨

Clay Guida Discusses Touching Gloves, His Pre-Fight Ritual, More

On not touching gloves: "These past few fights, I've just kind of been away from touching gloves. Nothing against Rafael Dos Anjos. Nothing against Shannon Gugerty or Kenny Florian, but I'm just out there, and I'm staying focused."

On his pre-fight ritual: "I like getting the first round out of the way in the locker room. That way I'm slippery and ready to go and sweaty at the beginning of the fight. A lot of fighters in general, they use the first round as a warming-up process. I think my style can contradict that. That throws off a lot of fighters. It doesn't give them room to adapt. It doesn't give them room to set up."

On the pre-fight slap from his brother: "[Jason] rung my bell pretty good the other night. I was kind of seeing stars, and I kind of had to grab him and smile a little bit right before I get in there. I'm like, 'Alright, I'm back on planet Earth here. I've got a fight coming up.'"

On touching gloves and hugging between rounds: "I've seen a lot in some of these other fights lately where these guys are hugging when they come out. Don't get me wrong, we have the utmost respect for our opponents and stuff like that. It's a privilege to be a professional fighter. It's like a driver's license. It's a privilege. It's an honor. But a lot of these guys get in these battles, and then they come out between rounds and they hug each other and stuff. Man, it's a fight. I love the organization I represent and that represents me, but we're going out there to put our gloves on each other. Nothing against my opponents. I'm just out there to get in there for 15 minutes. There's no friends. I'm not out there to hurt anybody because I know this is how we make money. I know this is how we put food on the table for our family. No dishonor to anybody, but I go out there, and I've got my mind set on to things: having fun and winning."

On how he feels about fighting: "I don't think of this as a job. I think of this as a hobby that we're fortunate enough to get paid to do. I just have so much fun doing it. People say, 'How do you have so much energy?' I'm like, 'If you can't fight 15 or 25 minutes hard, you're in the wrong sport. If you can't go hard for that long, you're in the wrong sport.'"

Fabricio Werdum to Have Elbow Surgery

Fabricio Werdum's management team announced today that he will undergo elbow surgery on August 18, with the accompanying recovery and physical therapy putting him out of training for 6 weeks.

The surgery will remove bone fragments from Vai Cavalo's left elbow. He hopes to be back in action in early 2011. "I have put this procedure off for about two years now," Werdum stated. "I am thankful that I have been able to compete at the highest international levels in both mixed martial arts and submission grappling and prove victorious despite my nagging injury.

"You've seen what I can do when I'm hurt, imagine what I can do when I'm healthy. Either way, without the support of my family, friends, Scott Coker and Strikeforce, I couldn't do anything."
