Osipczak, left, and Riddle.


Here's some of the discussion about the fight on facebook:

Blaze Hart: I excited for this fight, but it will obviously be on the prelims, Nick is 4-0 and Riddle is 3-0 in the UFC. I think this should go on the TUF 10 finale, get tv time. or the next fight night. Either way, who takes it? I pick Riddle.

Frank Danko: There is no way he is going to get on the PPV cards right away.
He needs another 3 fights!

Kimbo loses to Nelson on TUF

|

Here's the quick-n-dirty from the Nelson vs. Kimbo fight:

-- Kimbo still has no ground game.

-- Roy draped his huge belly on Kimbo for two rounds, trying to smother him with it, and dropped a few pillow-like punches down. Round 2, Nelson traps Kimbo in a crucifix and throws more pillows and Herb Dean stops the fight.

-- Dana White criticizes Nelson for doing just enough to win and not get hit.

-- At the end of the show, they hype Kimbo returning to the show.

Sneak Peek: Kimbo Fights
I like how they leave us with Kimbo landing a haymaker on Nelson. The onlky question is: does Nelson's chin take it? We'll see.

Wes Sims: Roy Nelson is a pig

|


I haven't always been a fan of Wes Sims - something about him stomping Frank Mir a few years ago - anyway, I'm willing to let that go, now that he's spent time away from the UFC and he's on TUF 10. Watch this video - he is one funny dude. It'll be interesting to see what antics he's up to in the TUF house - he seems like he'll be the one pulling pranks and crap like that. One of the funniest parts is when he talks about Roy Nelson uprooting a shrub and eating it.

"Specialness" for Kimbo Slice

Everybody knows what Kimbo's strength is - striking - but it looks like he's learning on the ground. The question is, will it be enough against somebody who's been wrestling or doing BJJ for a decade or more? We'll see.

Negativity toward Rampage rises

DW saying Rampage caused "collateral damage."


By Gavin Vincent of fiveknuckles:
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's decision to sign a movie contract to play B.A. Baracus in the upcoming "A-Team" movie has left UFC officials, fans and experts with a sour taste in their mouth. Even Rampage's personal website is flooded with negative comments and accusations of him dodging what will be two consecutive fights.

Jackson was rumored to face Lyoto Machida for the light-heavyweight title but chose instead on to sign on as a TUF 10 coach to fight nemesis, Rashad Evans. As with all previous Ultimate Fighter seasons, the coaches generally square off against one another but his decision to do a movie instead has forced UFC President, Dana White, to play musical chairs with the main event for TUF 10 finale on Dec. 12.

Last week, White announced that a lightweight title fight between B.J. Penn and Diego Sanchez will replace the Jackson-Evans bout. White also announced Jackson's decision will have "collateral damage" but has not confirmed what those ramifications will be.

Jackson can't even escape criticism on his personal website as his homepage and "blog posts" section are flooded with negative comments and inappropriate posts.

UFC 103 press conference: DW on Rampage - "You can't fix stupid."

|

Thanks to mmasportsreport.com:
The UFC 103 press conference was held today in Dallas, preceding this weekend's event headlined by Rich Franklin and Vitor Belfort. The conference was brief with Franklin, Belfort, and Junior Dos Santos saying a couple things about their fight.

Santos' opponent, Mirko Cro Cop, was not present though which President Dana White touched on.

"Cro cop holds the second-best record for wins in pride, and he also holds the best record for most press conferences missed," White said.

He also discussed boxing going head to head with UFC 103, and in an uncharacteristically relaxed demeanor said,

"I don't think us going against boxing is a good thing [for the fans]..." but regardless of the outcome this week on who sells more pay-per-views White said (speaking about the bad economy), "boxing is in trouble. The show we just did in Oklahoma had 75,000 people on a Wednesday night, and people came early at 3 p.m... You can combine WWE and boxing this year, and we beat them both."

Someone in the media asked him what he thought about Quentin Jackson doing the A-team movie and if the fight with Rashad would still take place at a later date.

"When the movie star's done doing his movie we'll find out when that fights happening... " he said criticizing Jackson. "He [Rich Franklin] did a movie when he wasn't fighting, like Randy Couture did."

"The crazy thing about Rampage is he's giving away a lot of money to do the A-Team. You can't fix stupid."

Speaking about Franklin fighting Belfort and how they both seem to be stuck in between fighting at middleweight and light heavyweight, White was asked on his thought about adding a weight class (possibly 195 pounds). He said he was not at all interested and did not want to make the same mistake as boxing did by having too many classes.

Belfort spoke about his fight and said that he likes Franklin and the fight "is going to be a classic"


If you couldn't tell already, I'm psyched for this season of The Ultimate Fighter, probably like no other, because we get to see all heavyweights, we get to see Rampage and Rashad yap back and forth at each other (see DW's quote above), see how the NFL players do, and then, see how long (or how short) Kimbo's stint on the show will be. It all starts tomorrow night (Wednesday) with Ultimate Fight Night at 8 p.m., and the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter at 10 p.m.

Can Rampage say whatever he wants?
