Alistair Overeem cites costly 'mistake' at UFC Fight Night 50
Alistair Overeem explained what happened against Ben Rothwell on Instagram on Saturday. Yesterday I was in a great shape and prep was superb! Thanks to all involved, from coaches to fysio’s! You were all great. About the fight – I made a mistake! Hearing Ben’s arm crack on one of the kicks I didn’t expect him to counterpunch with the same arm.. We knew Ben is a tough strong guy, well we got it confirmed yesterday! Now today, new day – new chances! It might not always go as we want or as planned but..
As long as we have freedom and high spirits we are/should be ok! This coming from myself who’ve had several downturns in both life and career but plenty of great moments in life to so not complaining!

Fortunes changed for five in Friday night fights
Friday night’s head-to-head battle with the UFC and Bellator ended up showcasing two very different visions of mixed martial arts. It also set up a second go-around in November with those same differences. The UFC presented its typical Fight Night show. With so many shows, and so little time to promote the shows, the UFC almost comes across like something with a take-it-or-leave-it approach. We’re putting on a show. We have some good fighters, some of which you may know, some of which you don’t.
More often than not, the fights will be good. And this week it’s free. If you miss it, next week we have another show. Bellator doesn’t have the depth of fighters so it relies on attention grabbing. And Friday night’s fall season opener, the first of ten straight weeks of fights before the new vision of Bellator begins in 2015, was a weird amalgamation. It featured a serious quality main event title fight, and a couple of name fighters going in no particular direction. It also featured the most talked about thing on either show, whatever it was that Stephan Bonnar, Tito Ortiz and Justin McCulley were doing.
In many ways, it felt like this missing link between pro wrestling and sport MMA. It was a little bit of both, and a lot of neither. Bellator has three fighters that dabbled in the past year as pro wrestlers for TNA, Spike’s pro wrestling company, in Rampage Jackson, Tito Ortiz and King Mo Lawal. A fourth, Bobby Lashley, is a full-time pro wrestler, and TNA’s current champion, who debuted in Bellator on Friday. Lashley (11-2), who scored a dominant win over Josh Burns (8-8), said that he’s not dabbling in MMA, but making a serious run at the sport.
A fifth, McCulley, is a former UFC fighter who also has his own background as a pro wrestler. A sixth, Bonnar, had no pro wrestling background, but of late, has been training at the World Wrestling Entertainment Performance Center in Orlando, Fla What happened in the cage, with Bonnar doing an interview with a masked man (McCulley) by his side, trying to promote the Nov. 15 Bellator fall season finale in San Diego that promoter Scott Coker dubbed the battle of MMA Hall of Famers, felt more like a wrestling pull-apart brawl.

John McCarthy: 'Fighters aren't truly educated in what they're doing to themselves' during weight cuts
With weight cutting issues in the spotlight the last couple of weeks — starting at UFC 177 when Henry Cejudo and Renan Barao both dropped out of their fights in Sacramento after bad cuts, and this week with Charles Oliveira coming in over — solutions are being kicked around.One person who has thought about all the inherent problems with weight cutting over the years is Big John McCarthy, the longtime official going back to the UFC’s unruly early days. McCarthy was in Sacramento when Barao passed out and hit his head during his weight cut.
Barao has struggled making the 135-pound maximum for the last couple of years, and he says that sort of extreme cutting can leave a permanent mark.McCarthy appeared on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour and talked about the increasingly more problematic routine of fighters cutting so much weight. He told Ariel Helwani that it starts having awareness of the damage a fighter is causing himself.I don’t think fighters are truly educated as to exactly what they are doing to themselves, and I mean doing to themselves over the long term of their life, he said.
You know, the weight thing is a huge problem in everything that it’s involved in, be it wrestling or MMA — any time someone is losing the weight that some of these guys do, draining their body of fluids, the electrolytes, it’s a problem for everybody involved. Not just the fighter, but the promoter and the promotion itself because you have situations where fighters don’t make weight. You also have situations where fighters are putting themselves at risk in going into that contest. Because they’re doing everything in their power to cheat.

Bobby Lashley Wants To Fight Next Month, Mentions Cheick Kongo
Following his submission win over Josh Burns at Friday night’s Bellator 123 event, Bellator MMA fighter (and TNA Wrestling star) Bobby Lashley says he’s already looking ahead towards his next fight. In an interview with MMAJunkie.com, Lashley said: “I don’t know when the (next) fight is going to be because I have obligations to TNA, and at the same time have I have obligations to the Bellator,” he said. “But we’re going to try to figure out something. Hopefully I can fight real soon.” Lashley, a Kansas native , says he’s willing to fight for Bellator next month from Kansas City.
“I can do that,” he said. “I’m from there, man. … If I have the opportunity to fight in Kansas City, I’m always open to it.” During the Bellator 123 Countdown show on Spike TV, Lashley mentioned Cheick Kongo a potential opponent. Kongo would be Lashley’s toughest challenge to date, but the TNA World Champion wants to face the best competition possible during what he calls his last run as an MMA fighter. “I’m not having too many runs (left),” he said. “I’m not going to be taking time off and coming back and forth.

UFC Fight Pass Goes Down During Invicta FC 8 Main Event, UFC Officials Comment
During the third round of the Invicta FC 8 main event between Michelle Waterson vs. Yasuko Tamada on Saturday night, the first non-UFC event to air live on UFC Fight Pass, the digital service crashed. As a result, viewers missed the conclusion of the Waterson-Tamada championship bout. At the Invicta FC 8 post-fight press conference, Ant Evans, the UFC executive leading the UFC Fight Pass service, spoke to members of the MMA media about the incident, acknowledging what happened and promising to make it right with consumers.
Fight Pass did experience a slight drop in the stream during the course of Michelle’s main event for several minutes. I’d like to be very clear this is a Fight Pass issue and we have never experienced it before, said Evans. It was definitely not an Invicta issue. We’d like to apologize to Shannon [Knapp] for that. Evans concluded, We’re going to do a make up for this for all of our great subscribers. Invicta FC President Shannon Knapp also spoke to the media, focusing on the positives of her promotion finally airing on the UFC Fight Pass service.

Ben Askren explains the root of his desire to fight Johny Hendricks
Ben Askren’s rivalry with Johny Hendricks runs as deep as any college sports rivalry worth its salt. In this case, Askren wore the singlet of the University of Missouri, while Hendricks wrestled for Oklahoma State. And while it’s clear the two aren’t going to tangle in the cage any time soon, given that Hendricks is the UFC welterweight champion and Askren is his OneFC counterpart, it’s just as clear that Askren, one of MMA’s king Twitter trolls, isn’t going to stop hectoring Hendricks any time soon.
On Tuesday’s edition of The MMA Hour, Askren was asked how the Hendricks hate originated. The fighter known as Funky relayed a wrestling story that involved his Missouri teammate and current UFC welterweight contender Tyron Woodley. It’s hard to describe in full effect unless you’ve been around the wrestling community a long time, Askren said. He has won so many matches lucky through college. … He was wrestling my teammate Tyron Woodley in the Big 12 finals, 2005-06, somewhere around there, and [the score] was 1-1 in the third.
Tyron’s in on a shot, and Johny kept sticking his fingers into Tyron’s mouth. So finally Tyron bites him, which he shouldn’t have done, but when someone’s sticking fingers in your mouth, it’s like, c’mon, so he gave up a point because he bit him, land he lost match 2-1. And it’s like c’mon, is that really how you’re going to lose the Big 12 finals? He was just doing sneaky s– like that all the time. Askren likewise claimed Hendricks ducked him at an All-Star collegiate wrestling meet. According to Askren, he was willing to go down in weight class to meet Hendricks on the mat.

Wolfe tickets! Boxing legend goes nuts on Ronda Rousey, wants daughter to teach 'Rowdy' a lesson in pugilism
I ain’t Lucia Riker, I ain’t none of them motherfuckers. I’m Anne Wolfe. I don’t give a damn about her, I don’t even want to talk about her. I have eight world titles in four different weight classes. Goddamn Lucia Riker is old enough to be my grandma! My daughter weighs 135.
Tell her we’ll go in a real, live, 100-percent boxing match. She’s 9-0, ranked No. 1 in the nation. She’ll whoop her motherfuckin’ ass. One of the most dangerous female boxers to ever lace up the gloves, Ann Wolfe, does not want to hear anything about Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight titleholder Ronda Rousey, or tales of Rowdy schooling world-champion boxers while sparring. In fact, Wolfe is willing to prove that Rousey — or any other…

NY Times publishes photo of Georges St. Pierre and Leonardo DiCaprio alongside 'biggest pot dealer in New York City history'
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight titleholder Georges St. Pierre was recently featured in NY Times. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for his exploits as one of the world’s most gifted mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters. Instead, Rush — alongside Hollywood icon Leonardo DiCaprio — was photoed with longtime pal Jimmy Cournoyer, who just so happens to be the biggest pot dealer in New York City history. Kind of a strange association, considering St. Pierre’s crusade to end drug use in MMA.
From NYTimes.com: Starting in the mid-2000s, Mr. Cournoyer managed the shipment of man-size bales of hydroponically grown pot across the border on motorboats and snowmobiles. Nearly $1 billion of his cash was laundered through the Sinaloa drug cartel or was ferried back to Canada in pickup trucks equipped with secret traps in their radios and gas tanks. We never saw anything like this guy before, said Steven L. Tiscione, a federal prosecutor in New York who supervised the task force that broke the case. In terms of his longevity and scope, and the connections he had around the world, nothing, nobody, comes close.

Bigfoot Silva is fighting Andrei Arlovski again ... and not much has changed since the first time around
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is giving former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski (22-10, 1 NC) a chance to get one back against old Strikeforce nemesis Antonio Silva (18-5-1) in a rematch booked for UFC Fight Night 51, which takes place this Saturday night (Sept. 13, 2014) inside Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia. Because … well, I’m not really sure why. It’s not like Arlovski was robbed by the judges following a unanimous decision loss to Bigfoot, which came after three rounds of action at the Heavy Artillery event on Showtime back in 2010.
In fact, I was there in person, and I can’t recall much about their contest. Probably because it wasn’t anything worth remembering. Maybe that was the biggest takeaway from their fight. The Belarusian was in a career nosedive, and needed one of his trademark knockouts to recapture some of the mystique enjoyed inside the Octagon, prior to his disastrous trilogy against Tim Sylvia. No such luck. There was a similar sense of urgency for the Brazilian. Once the ruler of the EliteXC heavyweight roost, Silva had failed a drug test, then came up lame in his Strikeforce debut, losing a 15-minute slap fight against Fabricio Werdum.
Fans and pundits alike were expecting one of these two men to make a statement inside the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. They made one alright, it was Move along folks, nothing to see here. Silva would move on to capture the biggest win of his career, a technical knockout victory over fading legend Fedor Emelianenko, before floundering across his next six bouts and failing another drug test. Arlovski, meanwhile, rebounded on the regional circuit and put together a 7-1 record (1 NC). Now they’re back and ready to do it all over again.
