      April 10, 2009 /

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

      – Last weekend’s action was highlighted by Hayato Sakurai crushing Shinya Aoki at DREAM 8 and Miguel Torres putting in yet another legendary performance at WEC 40.

      – Despite some fainting and a nasty herpes outbreak, the Team USA elimination round went down on The Ultimate Fighter. Lightweight castmember Santino Defranco gave us some insight on Dana White’s intimidating presence as well as his back-from-the-grave victory over Waylon Lowe.

      – We gawked at sexy ring girls Laura Celeste and Maysa Quy.

      – Brett Rogers is still kinda pissed off at Kimbo Slice, while Frank Shamrock thinks Nick Diaz has “social and emotional issues” and “a frayed mind.”

      – Nick Diaz may not have been the best student in school, but at least he’s smart enough to cheat a drug test.

      – For the first time in history, Brazilian dance-fighting worked in a real MMA match.

      – July’s UFC 100 card is looking historically stacked.

      – Japanese featherweight wrecking machine Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto will finally return to competition at DREAM’s next event.

      – Head over to CagePotato.com tomorrow night as we liveblog the Showtime broadcast of “Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz,” beginning at 10 p.m. ET. If you plan on throwing some money on the fights, read this first, and submit your final predictions for the main card in our pick ’em contest to win a bunch of crap from No Fear!

      Friday MMA Review 4/3

      April 3, 2009 /

      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.

      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!)

      – The weakest, flabbiest fighter from Affliction’s last show just got popped for steroids.

      – Major fight-booking alert: Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir in May Wanderlei Silva vs. Rich Franklin in June, and Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida a week later.

      – UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock recently shared his life story at a conference for Christian fighters. He’s scheduled to be beaten to death by Bobby Lashley later this month.

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

      – UFC 95 featured eight wild stoppages, Diego Sanchez’s successful debut as a lightweight, and a shocking (and somewhat controversial) loss for Josh Koscheck.

      – MMA heavyweight Tim Sylvia is trying his hand at boxing, while boxing heavyweight Hasim Rahman is trying his hand at MMA. Of the two, we’re guessing that Rahman’s failure will be more epic.

      – Georges St. Pierre’s camp has responded to BJ Penn’s accusation that he greased during their welterweight championship match last month by releasing a 17-page statement and a video showing that what his cornerman did was simply part of a breathing technique.

      – Living legends Randy Couture and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will likely be fighting at UFC 101 in Augusy — which may also be when BJ Penn and Kenny Florian face off for the UFC’s lightweight title.

      – New York Assemblyman Bob Reilly droned on and on and on about how MMA is like prostitution and how it breeds more violence in society And your point is?

      – We tried to get inside the head of 0-13 fighter Scott “LionHeart” Blevins.

      – WEC 39 goes down Sunday night in Corpus Christi, Texas, with featherweight champion Mike Brown making his first title defense against Leonard Garcia. Watch the action live on Versus [versus.com] starting at 9 p.m. ET, and come back to CagePotato on Monday morning for results, videos, and commentary.
