No you are right, it is UCMMA.. the annoying bald guy is Dave O Donnell. I think they have struck a deal with Primetime to make this a PPV basically because its the RETURN OF ALEX REID !!

cage rage?

Cage Rage was bought by Elite XC I think, which then went bust. UCMMA is Cage Rage but with a new brand name.

UFC have signed UK bantamweight Vaughan Lee to a contract. He fights Chris Carisao at UFC 138. Tough fight for him, Carisao has fought Renan Barao recently and only lost a narrow split decision against Michael McDonald in his last fight.

Just watched the Fedor vs Henderson fight. Great fight to start with and to end too, a bit of cage work for most of the 1st round slowed the action down. Fedor knocked him down but went over the top when he went to pounce on Henderson on the floor, which meant Dan got to his feet quickly and hit him with an uppercut and Fedor went straight down face first. A few more blows and the ref stopped it.

Should have been Fedors fight really, but with his contract up I doubt anyones going to pay top dollar for a guy on a 3 fight losing streak. His immortality is long gone now.

Not seen it yet, but sounds like Paul Daley got out wrestled for 3 rounds again, but apparently showed a lot better defence against the wrestling and he didnt throw any sucker punches this time !

Re: MMA,UFC,K1 : Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:37 pm  

Daley showed really good takedown defence, the work he's done on it is clearly working. I scored the fight 29-28 Woodley, but it's a classic case of a wrestler laying and praying for 3 rounds. Daley actually went for a few submissions whereas Woodley wasn't overly bothered about improving his position. I wish MMA judges would start scoring for fighters who are on the bottom and do the majority of the work!

The Daley fight went just as i thought it would and you cant blame Woodley for taking it to the ground...Daleys one of the most exciting fighers on the feet imo but as usual brits always come out 2nd best to wrestlers...good that he showed some good take down defence though.

What now for Fedor?? Retire? Is that the end of his strikeforce contract?

Just been watching the Alex Reid v Jason Barrett preview on primetime......what a load of tacky crap it is,its like watching WWE! Surely noones going to buy into that payperview?

Its exactly the type of 'show' that drags MMA down..proving the knockers right.

All of the above.

He runs the show, and his own irritating style that I just dont get. Still see his shows as a travelling friend Fight Fest to be honest and using The Troxy in London always gets bad reviews for the trouble within.

But hes on Sky Sports on his own show so must be doing something right.
