San Diego A Hot Spot For Top MMA Action VIDEO

Brandon Vera

Article by: James Gregg Mixed Martial Arts Insider Welcome to MMA Insider, a new, weekly sports column on mixed martial arts in San Diego. The need for this beat has been clear to the fan and fighter community in this city for years. For those who are unfamiliar with MMA, allow me to make a case for San Diego as a major hotbed for international mixed martial arts. But don’t take my word for it. “Pound for pound, San Diego goes toe to toe with any major city that has mixed martial arts. The amount of people that come out…

UFC on FOX 4′s Phil Davis Looks at Bright Side of Lose-Lose Matchup

Phil Davis

Article by Steven Marrocco Wagner Prado (8-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is resume tinsel to Phil Davis (9-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC). You can look at it like that. Davis no longer feels pressure after his first professional loss. That’s one way to put it. Davis, though, doesn’t. The 27-year-old thinks it’s only right he should welcome Prado into the octagon at UFC on FOX 4. Someone else did the same for him. As for pressure, that simply never ends. “I remember what it was like fighting Brian Stann (at UFC 109), and thinking I was going to get a guy that…

Staying Grounded: Interview with Bellator Lightweight Champion Michael Chandler

MikeChandlerMMA

Article by Brian Hemminger Michael Chandler’s life changed forever in 2011, but you wouldn’t believe it by talking to him. If not for a certain UFC light heavyweight named Jon Jones, Chandler could have taken home the “Fighter of the Year” award after defeating the likes of Marcin Held, Lloyd Woodard, Patricky Freire and then top five lightweight Eddie Alvarez to win the Bellator tournament and capture the 155 pound title. Despite all the accolades, the new rocket ride to the top 10 in the lightweight divisional rankings and that strap of gold around his waist, Chandler has remained grounded…

Dana White: Alexander Gustafsson is Kicking So Much Ass, Guys Are Afraid To Spar With Him VIDEO

Article by Jesse Holland “Forrest Griffin told us that (Alexander Gustafsson) has been out here [in Las Vegas] and he’s been beating the living shit out of everybody. Forrest Griffin said this guy’s the real deal and he’s been out here in Vegas kicking everyone’s ass. He said people don’t even want to spar with him. He came here to Las Vegas to up his game and I guess he’s been beating the shit out of everybody. People are like ‘Yeah, I’m not fucking sparring with him today.’” Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight brawler Thiago Silva recently said he…

Paul Bradley: “I’m Not Messing Around Anymore”

Paul Bradley

Article By Garrett Derr The greatest fear in mixed martial arts is awaiting the judge’s scorecards. The only thing worse is actually hearing the decision announced. And if you’re on the receiving end of that bad news, it could stick with you for a long, long time. Enter Paul Bradley (18-4). “I’d be lying if I said losing that split decision to Mike Pierce doesn’t still bother me right now,” Bradley told Bleacher Report. “It sucks. The fight was so close that it could have gone either way. But at the same time his next fight was against Koscheck,” said…

The Ultimate Fighter Week 3 – TEAM CRUZ Strength & Conditioning Coach Doug Balzarini

The Ultimate Fighter Week 3 - TEAM CRUZ Strength & Conditioning Coach Doug Balzarini

Article By Strength & Conditioning Coach Doug Balzarini Week 3 was another great week. They are long grinds, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Like last week, I was in San Diego on Monday training clients. I truly enjoy working with so many different populations; it challenges me and keeps me on task and always wanting to learn more. During a normal week, I will work with a UFC champion, many amateur and professional fighters, middle-aged business executives, athlete clients in their 20′s, and a client who is in her mid-70′s. After a full day of training at…

Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis on Loss to Rashad Evans: 'I'm Glad He Poked Holes in My Game'

Article By Mike Chiappetta Two months after losing the most important matchup of his young career, Phil Davis is picking up the pieces and focusing on the future. Davis, who is currently in Las Vegas as one of Dominick Cruz’s assistant coaches on the current edition of TUF: Live, hasn’t yet thought about when he’ll find his way back into the octagon, only about bringing a newer, better version of himself to his next performance. On a Monday interview on The MMA Hour, the light-heavyweight admitted that the tension involved with the huge spotlight may have gotten to him and…

Clash of Titans: Lawrence vs. Marcello

Clash of Titans: Lawrence vs. Marcello

Article by Shawn M. Smith of Inside Fights As the number one pick for Dominick Cruz, Justin Lawrence was already facing a ton of pressure before his first fight in the house was even announced. Yet after dominating his way onto the show, the Missouri native drew the unenviable task of facing Cristiano Marcello, a man who in a very successful career has had more professional losses than Lawrence has had professional bouts. Marcello has been touted thus far this season as the former Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach for Chute Boxe Academy. As the most experienced fighter in the house,…

TUF Choices: A Hammer to Remember

tuf-choices

Article by The Ultimate Fighter On Friday’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter Live, Dominick Cruz selected Justin Lawrence to fight but yielded the choice of Lawrence’s opponent to Team Faber. A flummoxed Faber did not take the bait and Urijah’s non-decision led to Cristiano Marcello being selected by Cruz for the most anticipated matchup of the season. In the wake of one of the most shocking uses of “The Hammer” to date, Scott Sawitz of Inside Fights digs deep into the psyches of Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber to discover the planted seedlings of a potentially epic rivalry. The rivalry…
