      Fitch and St. Pierre headline UFC 87

      August 8, 2008 /

      Georges St-Pierre, ranked by many as the second best pound-for-pound UFC fighter (behind Anderson Silva), will step into the Octagon to face number one contender Jon Fitch.

      Fitch has won eight consecutive fights, a record in modern UFC history, but chances are you’ve never heard of him. This Saturday, he gets a chance to make a name for himself when he takes on St-Pierre for the UFC Welterweight title. This is St-Pierre’s second time holding the title, and he hopes to make it a long reign. Will Fitch gain the respect of MMA fans across the globe, or will he be GSP’s next victim?

      Other notable matches include Brock Lesnar facing off against “The Texas Crazyhorse” Heath Herring in a UFC Heavyweight Bout. No one is sure what to make of the former WWE star as of yet, but this is a fight that he can’t afford to lose. It’ll be a great chance to see if he’s for real. Also, Roger Huerta will battle Kenny Florian in a UFC Lightweight matchup that has potential to be an amazing fight. Huerta, who took part of the 2007 UFC Fight of the Year against Clay Guida, is pure joy to watch. Florian on the other hand, has been on a tremendous streak since losing his one and only fight at 155 pounds against Sean Sherk back in 2006.

      This is shaping up to be a very entertaining card! Tune in this Saturday on PPV.

      Top 10 Worst MMA Nicknames

      November 9, 2007 /

      In one of their recent blogs, Cage Potato.com ranked the “Top 10 Worst MMA Nicknames Ever” and without question, they found some doozies.

      #5 (tie): Brad “The Hillbilly Heartthrob” Imes, Eric “Ravishing Red” Schafer
      If you reference your handsomeness in your nickname, not only are you a conceited douchebag, but you’re also neglecting your target audience. Do you know how many women watch MMA? Like, none. So who are you trying to seduce, exactly — that big lug on the other side of the cage? It’s very, very questionable, that’s all I’m saying. Bas “El Guapo” Rutten gets a pass because he’s Dutch and he chose a Spanish nickname, and whatever Bas does is aces in our book.

      #3: Ron “H20Man” Waterman
      Oh, for the love of God. As lame as this nickname is, you know that Waterman must have thought he was the cleverest dude on Earth when he came up with it. I’ve never seen Ron fight, but I can only assume that the announcer introduces him as “Ron, two molecules of Hydrogen reacting with one molecule of Oxygen Man, WATERmaaaaan!”

      #2: Jorge “The Naked Man” Ortiz
      This would be #1 if not for the fact that “The Naked Man” actually works from an intimidation standpoint. “Bill, good news, I got you a fight. It’s on March 25th against a greased-up nude Mexican. Three five-minute rounds, and…you there, Bill?”

      The reference to Waterman thinking he was, “the cleverest dude on Earth” when he came up with the nickname is pretty funny.
