Stefan Struve Responds To Big Nog Via Twitter |
Stefan Struve took to his twitter page to respond to Big Nog’s response to Struve calling him out. Minotauro had Ariel Helwani say on UFC Tonight that if Struve wants to fight him remember, “The bigger they are, the harder they fall.”
These two made it easy on UFC match maker Joe Silva. Minotauro is still recovering from elbow surgery he had after getting submitted by Werdum and Struve is coming off a loss to Mark Hunt where his Jaw was broken in half. I doubt the timing will work out though as Struve would have to wait until late this year for Big Nog to be ready and I don’t forsee that happening. Still could be a future fight though.

Riddick Bowe – Muaythai Fight |
Why a 300LB ex-boxer would step in the ring with a Muay Thai fighter is beyond me. At 42 years of age, Bowe is broke and needed the reported $150k pay day. Sad to see.

History of MMA: Forrest Griffin |
Always great to hear from Forrest. He may not have been the most athletic or graceful fighter, like he always likes to remind us, but few men have the type of heart or toughness Forrest Griffin possesses. And it was those intangibles that carried him to a world title.

Chael Sonnen Explains Fued With Lebron James |
Chael Sonnen spoke with Bleacher Report about his comments made on the Jim Rome Show regarding NBA star Lebron James. He explained the beef he had with LBJ in typical Chael fashion no doubt.
Let me tell you a story about LeBron. He asked the UFC for tickets for my fight against Anderson Silva. We sit the guy front row, and all through the night he snubs our fans. He’s a guest in our house and he refuses to sign any autographs or take any pictures unless your cup size was later in the alphabet than he was able to learn.
And from what I understand, he thinks the letter purple comes after C. This guy walked up to my fiancee backstage and asks her if there’s a Tic Tac in her blouse or if she was just happy to see him.
I had a UFC employee tell me he saw a mother wheel her handicapped child up to him to get a picture. Lebron was walking towards them. When he reached the kid, the mother stopped the wheelchair. Lebron took the wheelchair, wheeled it out of the way and kept walking.
I’d like to slap the divots right off his face.
When asked what would happen if the two met in the Octagon Chael responded, “He’d run away faster than his hairline. His hair went North, his talents went South, and his mother went West.”
Lebron would be best not to respond because if he gets in a verbal war with Chael Sonnen that is one he would for sure lose.
