Come join the fellas from MMASucka in the chat room for some live chat. The chat will begin when the UFC on Versus 6 main card starts at 6pm PST/9pm EST. The main event is a bantamweight title fight between Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson. The co-main event will put Stefan Struve up against Pat Barry.
UFC on Versus 6 takes place live tonight at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. This will mark the first time in a long time that a title has been up for grabs on live tv. That title fight is the main event and it puts bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz up against 5'3" Demetrious Johnson.
June 26th of this year will be a day that Charlie Brenneman will never forget. He was supposed to fight TJ Grant on the UFC on Versus 4 card in Pittsburgh and Grant had to bow out due to injury. Brenneman was without an opponent, but stayed on weight just in case a fighter pulled out. Then, the Nate Marquardt situation happened and Brenneman was back in the ballgame. The day before the card, the UFC offered Brenneman the fight with Rick Story and Brenneman jumped on it.
He went out and put on a great performance as he defeated Rick Story via unanimous decision and his life changed after that. With more people recognizing him, Brenneman(14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) kicked his training into high gear as he faces Anthony Johnson(9-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) tomorrow night at UFC Live On Versus 6.
We are just one week away from UFC 136. The card features two title bouts, the first of which a trilogy fight between UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. The co-main event will put UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo against the number one contender Kenny Florian.
The fighters for UFC on Versus 6 will take to the scales today at 1pm PT/4pm EST at the DC Armory in Washington D.C as part of the official UFC on Versus 6 weigh-ins. Tomorrow's event which will be held at the Verizon Center is headlined by UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz who will put his belt on the line against Demetrious Johnson.
Episode 2 of The Ultimate Fighter Season 14 went down this past Wednesday evening and our very own video blogger Marcus Brimage was involved in that episodes fight. Brimage was picked by Michael Bisping and took on Bryan Caraway from Team Miller.
A few of Canada's best UFC fighters were in Ottawa alongside UFC Prime Minister Tom Wright in attempt to get MMA mandated all across Canada. Amongst those fighters was former featherweight contender Mark Hominick and Ed Garcia of Fatlip Radio had the opportunity to chat with him.
MMASucka was in attendance today, but Dana White was no where to be found at today's UFC on Versus 6 Pre-fight Press Conference. Stepping in for White was former WEC President and current UFC Executive Reed Harris. At the front table was most of the main card fighters for the UFC on Versus 6 card, including main event fighters Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson.
You look at Stefan Struve and you can see why his nickname is 'Skyscraper' at 6ft 11, he is the tallest fighter in the UFC. What a lot of people do not realize that Struve is only 23 years old and has already had 30 fights which is quite remarkable considering how young he is.
Struve (25-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) faces Pat Barry (6-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) on Saturday night at UFC on Versus 6 that takes place in Washington DC. In Struve's last fight, which was a defeat against Travis Browne at UFC 130, Struve learned a lot from that fight and plans to use his experience against Barry.
