Let The Merge Begin!

KTW — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 17:04:58 +0000

This weekend marks the inaugural merger of the UFC and WEC. The WEC (World Extreme Championships) is a subsidiary of Zuffa, the parent company of the UFC. WEC carried only the lightweight (155), featherweight (145), and bantamweight (135) divisions. The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 12 Finale will mark the beginning of the merger of the smaller weight divisions into the UFC. The WEC has long served to shed light on the smaller weight divisions. However, with the rising success of the WEC over the past few years, it has become apparent that the timing of this merger of the two elite mixed martial arts organizations is indeed the perfect opportunity to incorporate the bantamweight and featherweight divisions into the UFC’s lineup.

Seven Seconds Gone

Keith — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 01:19:37 +0000

In mixed martial arts, non-title matches are generally sanctioned for three 5 minute rounds. So at UFC 123, why did Gerald Harris and Maiquel Falcao only fight for 14:53? Crazy as it sounds, the first round of this middleweight contest ended seven seconds early. Falcao locked Harris in a rear-naked choke in the closing seconds of the round. The time clock disappeared with eight seconds left, and a mere second later, the round was over. Ultimately, this gaffe didn’t cost Falcao the fight – he ended up winning via decision. That this happened is worrying enough, regardless of the decision. Of course, it doesn’t help that MMA fans were subjected to a third round more boring than I could describe. ...

Jock & Jill

Jane W. — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 15:09:57 +0000

It seems to me that the most painful thing a man can endure without drawing blood is a blow to the crotch. Hell, even squeezing tightly can make a man scream like a little girl. But folks, this is combat fighting. You’re gonna get hurt! Yes, it seems as if a shot to the nuts can be debilitating, but so can a shot to the liver and that‘s legal. Now I’m not advocating the legalization of a nutshot! (At least, I don’t think I am.) It seems like a pretty cheap way to win a fight. But then, so is slamming your opponent onto the floor to knock him out. But that’s another matter. When I played field hockey in ... Read more » Related posts:

Eye-gouging Has Got To Go!

Shine To Go Unsanctioned

Jane W. — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 07:05:23 +0000

But now we have Shine fights putting on an unregulated, unsanctioned event in Oklahoma. There have been only two deaths in sanctioned mma events, and both were likely the cause of the governing bodies not doing their due diligence. Had they examined the fighters before their fights, pre-existing conditions would likely have precluded each from fighting. Related posts:

Women’s MMA Weight Classes?

Jane W. — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 13:12:56 +0000

Strikeforce has decided to change the names for certain weight classes for women. This is so confusing that the graphics on the telecast called it a women's "lightweight" matchup! Veteran fight commentator Mauro Ranallo resorted to basically calling it the "135 division", because it was so confusing! Related posts:
