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.
You look at Dememtrious Johnson and you see a guy who you can't believe is a fighter. At 5ft 3in and maybe weighs in at 140 pounds after he rehydrates his body for his fight, the man people call Mighty Mouse relishes in the role of the underdog.
Johnson (9-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) faces Dominick Cruz (18-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) for the UFC Bantamweight title this Saturday night at the UFC Live on Versus 6 card in Washington DC. A lot people were shocked that Johnson got the title opportunity. People thought he even he lost his fight against Miguel Torres at UFC 130 which Johnson won by a close decision. Johnson won the fight and if people want to complain about it that's fine with him.
Following his loss to Chris Leben many fans expected Wanderlei Silva to retire from the sport of MMA. In this video with MMAWeekly Silva chats about the fact that he decided not to retire and his upcoming bout with Cung Le at UFC 139 in San Jose, California.
This past Saturday evening the UFC was in Denver, Colorado for UFC 135: Jones vs. Rampage. The main event had Jon Jones submitting Rampage in the fourth round, one of only two men to submit Rampage.
Just days ago it was announced that Spike TV would be very strongly counter programing the UFC's debut on Fox. This season of The Ultimate Fighter will end the partnership between the two companies.
Las Vegas, Nevada – Just days before the highly anticipated UFC® bantamweight title fight between champion Dominick Cruz and challenger Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson from Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 1, the Ultimate Fighting Championship® will host a media conference call with the 135-pound competitors. The call, which will also feature heavyweight co-main event stars Pat Barry and Stefan Struve.
Here we go with the aftermath for UFC 135 with fight reactions, and future match-ups for the winners and losers. I hope Joe Silva gets a hold of this site one day and takes some of my advice on what should happen next. He has the best job.
