Greg Jackson on Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen at UFC 159

Posted on April 24, 2013 by ted czech

I ran into trainer Greg Jackson at Bellator 95 (he was there as part of fighter Frodo Khasbulaev’s corner) and in addition to speaking with him about Frodo, I wanted to ask him about the upcoming Jon Jones-Chael Sonnen light-heavyweight title fight at UFC 159. Jackson gave a great deal of respect to Sonnen’s game, much more than a lot of others have, which may account for why he advised Jones not to take the fight on short notice previously.

Thomson vs. Diaz – UFC on FOX 7 results

Posted on April 21, 2013 by ted czech

Josh “The Punk” Thomson made a great showing in his debut against Nate Diaz at UFC on FOX 7. Thomson, known for his long career in Strikeforce, particularly his trilogy against Gilbert Melendez, showed why he belongs in the UFC. In teh second round, Thomson hit Diaz with a kick upside the head “shin to dome” as Joe Rogan put it. That sent Diaz reeling, and Thomson finished him with strikes until the ref stopped the fight.

Cormier vs. Mir – UFC on FOX 7 results

Posted on April 21, 2013 by ted czech

Daniel Cormier had a great UFC debut at UFC on FOX 7 against former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir. Although Cormier did not knock out or TKO Mir as I thought he would, he executed his game plan flawlessly, I believe, if I am guessing right. Cormier didn’t attempt even one take-down, thereby eliminating the possibility that Mir would submit him. Instead, he bulled Mir against the cage, and weakened him with head and body shots. In the end, Cormier took home a unanimous decision victory.

Henderson vs. Melendez – UFC on FOX 7 results

Posted on April 21, 2013 by ted czech

Ben Henderson successfully defended his UFC lightweight title against Gilbert Melendez in the UFC on FOX 7 main event. It took all five rounds, and when the dust settled, Henderson came away with the split decision. So, from that, you can see it wasn’t easy — Melendez is a rough competitor, who hit Henderson with soem hard strikes; however, Henderson’s relentless pace and leg kicks seemed to be the deciding factors. We’ll have to see who gets the next shot — will it be Henderson’s WEC rival, Anthony Pettis?

Doug “The Rhino” Marshall drops f-bombs left and right as he talks about his destruction of Brett Cooper on the main card of Bellator 95. The win named Marshall the winner of the middleweight tournament and the number-one contender to Alexander Shlemenko’s MW title. Can’t wait for that one — as Marshall said, “somebody’s going to sleep.”

Ricardo Almeida on student Tom DeBlass’ preparation for Bellator 95

Posted on April 7, 2013 by ted czech

Former UFC fighter Ricardo Almeida talks about student Tom DeBlass’ preparation for his fight at Bellator 95 against NY’s Carlos Brooks. Almeida seems very content in his retirement, maintaining his own BJJ school in New Jersey. DeBlass won the fight by doctor stoppage, as Brooks apparently could not seed out of his right eye after being on the receiving end of some ground-and-pound during the second round.
