      Carlos ConditHere’s a weekly rundown of MMA content from Ben Goldstein of CagePotato.com:

      – Carlos Condit didn’t live up to the hype and Junie Browning didn’t live up to his mouth at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night show. You can check out some videos from the event here.

      – Word on the street is that jiu-jitsu phenon Demian Maia will get the next crack at Anderson Silva’s UFC middleweight belt…assuming Silva crushes Thales Leites later this month at UFC 97.

      – BJ Penn will finally return to the lightweight division at UFC 101 (August 8th, Philadelphia), where he’ll take on #1 contender Kenny Florian. It will be the first time in 15 months that the UFC’s 155-pound strap will be on the line.

      – The ninth season of The Ultimate Fighter debuted Wednesday night, as 16 British hopefuls were cut down to eight official members of Team U.K. We do not have high hopes for this lot.

      – After a rage-filled video-blog entry that saw UFC prez Dana White use the word “faggot” and call a female reporter a “fuckin’ dumb bitch,” White has issued a public apology. To the gays, at least.

      – Is DADA the next Kimbo Slice?

      – We counted down some quick ‘n’ ugly MMA knockouts.

      – Check out CagePotato.com on Monday morning for full results of WEC 40 (Torres vs. Mizugaki), DREAM 8 (Aoki vs. Sakurai), and Bellator Fighting Championships’ debut event.

      UFC’s Dana White unleashes profanity-laced tirade at reporter

      April 2, 2009 /

      Apparently UFC President Dana White isn’t a big fan of MMA reporter Loretta Hunt’s work.

      SPORTSbyBROOKS.com fills us in on how White unleashed a five minute hate speech tirade on her after she recently wrote a story about how some managers and agents are losing backstage passes at UFC events.

      Most of White rambling, hate-filled harangue isn’t worth printing, considering how he addressed Hunt and her reportage. But here’s some of the missives:

      “I just heard there was an absolutely f—ing retarded story written by Loretta Hunt. Loretta, you f—ing moron. …

      “Just to show how f—ing dumb you are, number one. … you don’t even know what the f— you’re talking about. … shut the f— up. …

      “Whoever gave you that quote is a pussy, and a f—ing faggot and a liar. …

      “Maybe you’re the liar Loretta, writing bullsh– f—ing stories. Everything that comes out of your mouth is f—ing stupid. …

      “You f—ing dumb bitch, f— you Loretta Hunt.”

      White also kicked in an obscene gesture while making the final comment.
      Now for a little background on Hunt from one of my well-placed MMA sources:
      “This Loretta Hunt and Sherdog have been banned from covering UFC for years. They are not credentialed to the events. Yet Sherdog is the content provider for ESPN and Hunt is their lead writer.”
      Interesting. So not only is White verbally spitting in the face of Hunt, but he’s also, albeit indirectly, doing the same to ESPN.

      Wonder how the Worldwide Leader will respond to this? Hopefully by airing the comments to an audience of millions, so people can see and here the real White.

      Here’s the video (NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK):

      I don’t follow enough UFC, MMA, Dana White or Loretta Hunt content to know what White is talking about in this video, but he comes off sounding completely unprofessional and moronic. Whether what he is saying is true or not, White’s entire tirade comes off sloppy, unprepared and completely unnecessary.

      Friday MMA Review 3/27

      March 27, 2009 /

      Bobby LashleyHere’s a weekly rundown of MMA content from Ben Goldstein of CagePotato.com:

      – Former WWE star Bobby Lashley picked up his second MMA victory at last weekend’s “March Badness” event, winning a decision against palooka Jason Guida, but proved that he’s not quite ready for prime time.

      – What’s more embarrassing: The revelation that Lyoto Machida drinks his own urine, Bob Sapp’s starring role in Frankenhood, or Keith Jardine being named the 82nd-ugliest man in the world by a major news outlet?

      – Legendary referee “Big” John McCarthy shared some stories about the gory, Wild West days of the UFC.

      – Despite all evidence to the contrary, Chuck Liddell thinks he can become the UFC light-heavyweight champion again.

      – Two exciting up-and-comers with cool nicknames who have been screwed over by referees in the past will be fighting each other in June.

      – Junie Browning explained that his insane behavior on The Ultimate Fighter was all part of a master plan. Amazingly, it worked.

      – Swing by CagePotato.com next Wednesday evening for our live coverage of UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Kampmann, and remember to watch the premiere of The Ultimate Fighter: Team U.S. vs. Team U.K., directly after at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

      Sport Science returns to Fox Sports Net tomorrow night

      March 21, 2009 /

      Have you ever wondered what it would be like to line up against an NFL defensive tackle and try to throw a block? Well, after seeing John Brenkus, host of the Emmy Award winning show “Sport Science,” do just that when he squared off against New York Jets Pro Bowl lineman Kris Jenkins, you may not want to try this at home. Check out this preview video for that and more of Brenkus’ always entertaining, sometimes bordering on moronic, stunts like this. If you’re squeamish, you might turn the other way when Jenkins sends his victim through the air and onto a thick mat. It’s almost like watching Lawrence Taylor break Joe Theismann’s leg.

      But this show didn’t win an Emmy for no reason, as it’s the kind of train-wreck-happening show that you just can’t turn away from. Other somewhat frightening stunts are the choke test, as Brenkus tries to see who has more choking power, MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko or a python. A freaking python? Yikes. And there’s the bit with Dodgers’ outfielder Matt Kemp in which Brenkus finds out if foam padding really does help when you crash into an outfield wall.
      Not all the stunts are dangerous….PGA golfer Brad Faxon helps Brenkus see if wet sand or thick rough is a trickier golf ball lie.

      The show’s premise, if you haven’t guessed yet, is “to test the limits of human performance and show what really happens on the field,” according to a press release. If you’re intrigued, and need a change of pace after watching all of those NCAA basketball games, tune in Sunday night on Fox Sports Net at 9pm (8pm central). For those of you afraid to watch, there’s always “Desperate Housewives.”

      Friday MMA Review 3/20

      March 20, 2009 /

      Here’s a weekly rundown of MMA content from Ben Goldstein of CagePotato.com:

      Chuck Liddell– Unless he has a great performance against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua next month, the UFC might not want Chuck Liddell to fight for them anymore.

      – “King Mo” ruled and L.C. Davis got handled by a scrub at Sengoku: Seventh Battle. You can watch some of the fight videos here.

      – Former UFC light-heavyweight champ Tito Ortiz and porn legend Jenna Jameson just had twins.

      – After testing positive for three different unapproved painkillers following UFC 94, the Nevada State Athletic Commission smacked Karo Parisyan with a nine-month suspension, a $32,000 fine, and voided his last win.

      – We looked at a one-legged mixed martial artist and a sexy Arianny Celeste magazine shoot.

      – The full fighter roster for the “UFC 2009 Undisputed” video game was released. But where’s Randy?

      – Denied justice in the “Lubrigate” scandal, BJ Penn may be starting a cult at his shadowy island fortress.

      – If you have absolutely nothing going on Saturday night, why not watch former WWE star Bobby Lashley beat the bejesus out of Clay Guida’s brother at “March Badness”? Roy Jones Jr. will also be boxing in the main event. (You remember boxing, right? It’s like MMA, except you only get to throw punches, and you have to wear these weird pillow-things on your hands. And there’s no choking!)
