BY: DENNIS ‘D SOURCE’ GUILLERMO Where: MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV When: Saturday, Dec. 8 at 9:00 p.m. ET Watch: Pay-Per-View ($59.95 for standard definition; $69.95 for high definition) Live Stream: TopRank.com In 2006, a young Cebuano by the name of Mercito Gesta crossed the Pacific to the US to realize his pugilistic dreams and hoped to follow in the footsteps of Pinoy boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, who at the time, had just taken the boxing world by storm. Armed with hardly anything more than his courage and his fists, the 19-year-old left his family in Mandaue…

Photo Credit: Chris Farina/ Top Rank Article By Chris Robinson The next step for budding lightweight hopeful Mercito ‘No Mercy’ Gesta takes place tomorrow night inside of the Texas Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The undefeated Gesta (25-0-1, 13 KO’s) faces off with the very brash Ty Barnett (20-2-1, 13 KO’s), hailing from Washington, D.C., in a ten-round scrap that could open up bigger doors for the Mandaue City, Philippines fighter. There had been some pre-fight trash talk coming from Barnett’s side, with the 29-year old telling me moments before the weigh-in that he was far from…

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…

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…

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…

Article by Michael David Smith The top pick on this season of The Ultimate Fighter showed why with an impressive win. Dominick Cruz made Justin Lawrence the first pick when the coaches selected their teams on this season of The Ultimate Fighter, and when Lawrence stepped into the Octagon with Cristiano Marcello on Friday night, he made Cruz’s pick look smart. Lawrence out-struck Marcello in the stand-up exchanges in the first round, then started landing with more power in the second round and ultimately connected a left hand to Marcello’s chin that knocked Marcello flat on his back, ending the…

Article by MMAViking.com I’m sitting by the pool again. We just got home from a sparring session at TapouT training center. Tapout’s facility is great too; they’ve got everything and more. Otherwise, except for training, eating and sleeping not much is done actually. Our routines are getting set and, as much as we enjoy the training, we’re sometimes questioning what to do in between. In one way Las Vegas isn’t that great because the only thing to do here seems to be gambling ore something money/gambling-related. But in another point of view what do we do a normal training day…

Every week or so I plan to share a couple thoughts and experiences I had while out in Las Vegas for the MMA reality show, “The Ultimate Fighter”. For me, week 1 began on Tuesday (3/6) when I made the extremely windy drive out to Sin City first thing in the morning. I got settled in to my condo which will be my home for the better part of the next 3 months. I met up with my 3 roommates, UFC Champ Dominick Cruz, Tigger, and Marley. The first guy you probably know, the other two are Dom’s cats. It…
