JDS signed with Nike..

Matt Mitrione replaces Shane Carwin

I love Meathead.. Been over a year since his loss to Kongo.. With the speed he picked up MMA in his first two years, I bet he is solid as fuck with another full year of training under his belt..

Mitrione was also scheduled to fight Phil de Fries on the 29th so hopefully that shatters this illusion that the UFC can't/won't re-book guys when it suits them. I like Matt Mitrione a lot though. I just don't think he has what it takes to challenge Nelson yet.

Is this for Brazil or the U.S.? Not gonna lie, other than the Nike swoosh on his banner and that Bones Knowns shirt, we haven't seen much.

Nike Brazil

Silva's been rocking nike shit..

Watching these weigh-ins right now.. I don't ubnderstand why a fighter would come out the in some sweatpants/wind pants, a t-shirt, and some flip flops.. Guy come out there with combat boots, jeans, with mma trunk under them, hoodies, chains, all this bullshit..

sometimes they have on street clothes with mma trunks and like 2 pair of compression trunks, then regular underwear..

O_o

Dana White disappointed by Bonnar
By Franklin McNeil
ESPN.com

Stephan Bonnar not only failed his UFC 153 postfight drug test, he failed promotion president Dana White.
White has opted not to speak with the recently retired light heavyweight since the test results were revealed.

Bonnar, 35, tested positive for Drostanolone, an anabolic steroid, after suffering a first-round TKO loss Oct. 13 to middleweight champion Anderson Silva in Rio de Janeiro.
A little more than two weeks after the loss, Bonnar announced his retirement from mixed martial arts.

But vowing never to fight in the Octagon again did not soften the emotional blow Bonnar's failed test dealt to White.

"I've known Stephan for a long time and we've had a great relationship," White said Sunday morning after UFC 154 in Montreal. "That's the thing that disappoints me the most.

"I haven't even answered his phone calls. I haven't talked to him since. I don't hate him, but I just don't want to talk to him."

Bonnar was a late replacement at UFC 153. He was asked to fight Silva in a light heavyweight contest after an injury forced featherweight champ Jose Aldo to withdraw from his bout against former lightweight titleholder Frankie Edgar.

"The thing that bothers me most about the Stephan Bonnar thing is that he didn't tell me," White said. "He wasn't planning on fighting. He said that he was practicing to do some pro wrestling."

Bonnar was suspended by UFC for one year. The suspension prevents Bonnar from coming out of retirement, according to UFC vice president of regulatory affairs Marc Ratner.

Bonnar has not spoken publicly about the positive postfight drug test.

It's the second time in his professional mixed martial arts career that Bonnar has failed a postfight drug test.

He tested positive for Boldenone after a unanimous-decision loss in August 2006 to Forrest Griffin at UFC 62.

Bonnar finished his pro career with a record of 15-8.

Todd Duffee resigned with UFC to fight Phil De Fries..

Former WEC announcer Joe Martinez tapped for octagon debut at UFC on FX 6
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Nov 26, 2012 at 3:15 pm ET

Former WEC announcer Joe Martinez will soon make his octagon debut.

Martinez recently revealed to Examiner.com that he has been hired for in-cage duties at next month's UFC on FX 6 event, which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 15 in Australia but due to the time difference airs live in the U.S. on Friday night....

Dunno why they'd need to lighten Buffers duties as he has just about the sweetest job in the world..

Don't mind this actually. Bruce Buffer is that guy. He's the announcer for the big fights.

Like the idea that they get somebody for the mid tier fight cards

I feel like there isn't a person on earth who doesn't have that one picture from childhood that wouldn't get LOL'd at if they were famous enough to have people want to LOL at them.

The may be one or two exceptions though:

SPOILER: show

I laugh at these two fuckers right now. I they look like UNICEF Poster children in their other pics.

That because you're one of the most diabolical haters this side of the Mississippi.

TUF Finale (Nelson v Mitrione) is on the same night in Vegas, Buffer wouldn't be able to make both.

If you guys haven't caught it, Fight Factory is a pretty good show. It follows a bunch of different guys from AKA who are at different levels and points in their careers. There's more substance to it than the UFC Countdown/Primetime shows and at the same time it doesn't feel as scripted or piss poor as most other reality shows on t.v.

haha imagine if GSP had that haircut while kicking ass in the UFC.

Wow @ the Diaz brother in the right pic. They look like they were bullies

Forrest shredded his knee, out of 155 fight with Phil Davis

Damn

Dom Cruz had another knee surgery.. There will be another interim 135 title fight now between Berao and McDonald..
