A Look at Topps UFC 2011

By: Clay

Here's a glimpse of the first release from Topps and the UFC for 2011. I know this is a little dated, as this set has been out for sometime...enjoy. By the way, I did pull a Matt Hamill relic which was promptly sold on EBAY as well as two patch cards of Machida and Matt Hughes. As you can see below, the Couture base card photo is from the fight with James "Mush Mouth" Toney and the Hughes photo was taken probably seconds before BJ Penn knocked him out.

Chael Sonnen Interview from July 1st

Chael Sonnen Returns at UFC 136

By: Clay

The opponent has changed but the location remains the same. Rather than fight Lyoto Machida as reported by Fighters Only Magazine, Sonnen will now face middleweight Brian Stann to determine the next challenger for the UFC middleweight title. At some point, one must mention that Stann is an ex-marine. And we will undoubtedly hear Stann talk about it and the UFC promote it leading up to the fight. So, there is our mentioning of it. No more.

During an interview with Ariel Helwani of AOL, Chael stated, "...there's a karate guy at 205 pounds, I might stop there on my way back to 185 pounds...". This deal was almost done when apparently the UFC scrapped it and just decided to go with a number one contender match at middleweight.

Either way, it works for me and I look forward to seeing Chael give a beating to ol' Hero Boy Brian Stann.

Don't Blink



In case you missed Lyoto Machida sending Randy Couture into retirement, here it is. If you happen to see any of the UFC 129 post fight interviews with Machida, he mentions that Steven Seagal taught him that kick. The same as Anderson Silva on Vitor Belfort. Whatever. Seagal doesn't teach shit.

UFC 113 News and Notes

By: Guido

UFC 113 turned in a good show. Shogun Rua ko'd Machida late in the first round to capture the light heavyweight title. Koscheck beat Daley by unanimous decision. Daley then followed the final horn by landing a cheap shot on the right eye of Kos. Minutes later, Daley was unemployed. Kos will face off against GSP on The Ultimate Fighter and then fight for the title this winter.

Kimbo also walked out of Montreal jobless after a lack luster performance against Matt Mitrione. Mitrione looked tough in only his second pro fight. Then again, he was facing Kimbo. Sam Stout and Jeremy Stephens went to war with Stephens taking it by split decision.

Alan Belcher continued to impress fans as he dominated Patrick Cote. Belcher may be in line for a shot at Anderson Silva next year.

Fight of the Night: Jeremy Stephens vs. Sam Stout
Knockout of the Night: Mauricio Rua
Submission of the Night: Alan Belcher
