In an interview with Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com, Brock Lesnar stated he doesn't care that he is the underdog, however just after he made that comment he cut the interview short. Lesnar is set to make his return to the Octagon this Friday (Dec.30) at UFC 141 against Alistair Overeem. This will be Lesnar's first fight back since losing the UFC heavyweight title to Cain Velasquez back in October 2010.
This Friday night (Dec.30) two of the biggest heavyweights in the UFC, Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem will square off in the main event for UFC 141. The former UFC heavyweight champion Lesnar and former Strikeforce and K-1 champion Overeem will do battle to see who is the number one contender in the UFC heavyweight division.
At UFC 141 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jon Fitch will face off against Johny Hendricks. Fitch who hasn't fought for nearly 10 months is riding a five fight winning streak and will look to defeat Hendricks in order to secure a shot at the title. More likely than not that title will be the interim belt against the winner of Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz at UFC 143.
It's that time of year again. People will wait for the ball at Times Square to drop, some will over-do it on the champagne, make resolutions that will last all of five minutes and a man known to the MMA world as “The Last Emperor” will have his annual pilgrimage to Japan to claim someone's soul.
When I hear the name Gabriel "Napão" Gonzaga, my thoughts are automatically brought back to his incredible head kick KO over Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. Following that win, which was the most impressive and most memorable of his career, he went 3-5 in his next 8 UFC fights.
Now that kids around the world have been visited by Santa Claus and have received their presents (the ones on the nice list anyway), it's time for us as MMA fans to put out our own wish list for what we'd like to see from the sport in 2012.
After much lobbying and internet campaigning, including an online petition, the UFC finally stepped up to give Duane "Bang" Ludwig the recognition he deserves. On January 16, 2006 during UFC Fight Night 3, Ludwig KO'd Canadian Jonathan Goulet with his first punch of the fight. According to the original official result, the fight was recorded at 0:11 seconds, but if you watch the video above, the Mario Yamasaki had touched Ludwig at the 0:04 mark, signifying the end of the fight.
It was back in November when the MMA world had a hay day on Canada's own Michael Lansberg when Chael Sonnen got up and left the set of 'Off The Record'. Well it looks like Sonnen might have forgiven Lansberg and given him a second chance. Today TSN.ca released a sneak peak at the interview which will air in its entirety today (Dec.23) at 2pm PT/5pm ET.
