Before, he was 135kg, but now he decided to lose weight to the enter the heavys category and is weighing 122kg" said Alex, who believes in Pezão´s victory in Elite XC, which is held this Saturday (10) in Texas, USA. "Johnathan Wiezorack is tough, has 11 fights and only one loss, but I believe Pezão can win him. He is returning to be the best heavy in the world" bet Alex.

| Mirko "Crocop" Filipovic Speaks Posted: 10 Nov 2007 01:20 AM CST 
Dnevnik.hr: Is CroCop back?
Mirko: CroCop is recovered, it will take a month to begin with sparrings again, although I have a special helmet for protection. The stripes are affecting my visibility so it's not like the real thing, but the regular sparring sessions start in about a month. I think my next fight is going to happen in January.
You recently had a nose surgery?
Mirko: The nose problems have nothing to do with my defeats. I had trouble breathing, my nose was broken, one side was at 30%, while the other side was blocked completely. It's important when you face such an intense efforts.
Is this the toughest period in your career after you left K1?
Mirko: Not only that, this is the toughest period of my entire career.
Did you think about ending your career?
Mirko: I did think of it the night after my last defeat, but I'm not going to end my career soon. I will have 5 or 6 fights at least. Maybe even more, who can tell. Every fight could be your last one. You can suffer from a fatal injury, you can break your leg or arm. If I'll be able to fight I'll fight, it's my life and my choice and I enjoy doing it. I have a very strong motive, especially beacuse of number of „wise" Internet users saying that I'm done. I will prove they were wrong.
Did you ever think about taking a year off to rest and come back stronger?
Mirko: In my case that would be a very long break. Of course, I would train a lot still if it would happen. Sometime you have to end your career, in a year, 3 or 5 years, or even 10 years - look at Randy Couture, he was the champion at 44. I will always train hard, but long breaks like that are not for me.
Are you in touch with Dana White and how does he feel about your defeats?
Mirko: We keep in touch, but you'll have to ask him about that.
So, your nose is recovering well, you are wearing a special helmet. Your return is set for January due to a medical reasons?
Mirko: Yes, because of the surgery I'm not allowed to fight sooner. My nose is not fully recovered and I still have stiches in it.
Are there any rumors about your next opponent?
Mirko: None that I'm aware of.
Who you would like to fight next? Someone with a big reputation or?
Mirko: It's up to the UFC's management. I will fight anyone who they put me against. I have never turned down any opponent.
Anything left to say?
Mirko: I'll be back (smiling).

| Frank Trigg & Mayhem Announced For HDNET Fights Posted: 10 Nov 2007 01:11 AM CST 
Mark Cuban's HDNet Fights on Friday officially announced its Dec. 15 event at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The co-main events feature four Ultimate Fighting Championship veterans. Jason "Mayhem" Miller and Sean Salmon will square off, sharing top billing with Frank Trigg and his opponent, Edwin Dewees.
Also announced for the event, entitled "Reckless Abandon," are fights between Yves Edwards and Alonzo Martinez, Pete Spratt and Tristan Yunker, Chris Bowles and Cory Mahon, Patrick Castillo and Jay White, and Freddie Espiricueta and C.B. Dollaway.
"With Frank (Trigg) and Jason (Miller), you know there's going to be a ton of action and lots of bizarre things can happen in the cage," said Guy Mezger, HDNet Fights' matchmaker. "Frank is called 'Twinkle Toes' because he's known for painting his toe nails, but it certainly doesn't represent his vicious fighting style.
"On the other hand, Jason has certainly earned his 'Mayhem' nickname. With him, you never know what you will see, but you know it will be something crazy."
"We're thrilled to have these talented and entertaining fighters on board with HDNet Fights," said Cuban. "Our goal is to present the best fighters in the best fights we can make. These are two of the top middleweights in the world and we are fortunate enough to have them both fighting on the same card.

| Riddick Bowe Training MMA With Mark Kerr! Posted: 09 Nov 2007 10:49 PM CST 
By David A. Avila
HOLLYWOOD, CA. - It was a surreal sight to find former heavyweight world champion boxer Riddick Bowe standing near the entrance to a mixed martial arts fight card in the back lot of an old Hollywood motion picture studio that is now a nightclub.
But there he was "Big Daddy" the former scourge of prizefighting who retired for a period of eight years then returned with a fight here and there. Bowe wants to return again, but not to boxing, he's throwing his hat into the world of MMA.
"I've got to make a living for my family," said Bowe, 40, who is a two-time heavyweight champion in professional boxing.
Xcess Entertainment signed Bowe to fight exclusively for them beginning on Dec. 12. Though no site has been confirmed the former boxer is targeted for that fight card in California.
"If Evander Holyfield can fight so can I," said Bowe citing his former foe's age of 45. "I just turned 40."
Bowe will not be the first former world champion boxer to try the cage, 46-year-old Ray Mercer is a former WBO titleholder who participated in an MMA fight and was submitted by Kimbo Slice this year. But Bowe and his promoters hope to get the former boxer prepared by next month.
"We have Riddick Bowe training with Mark Kerr in Los Angeles," said Bruce Valachi, CEO for Xcess Fighting. "He should learn a lot from Kerr."

By Lance Pugmire
NEW YORK -- Miguel Cotto's building process is complete. He's 27, unbeaten and ready to cash in on his stature as the World Boxing Assn. welterweight champion.
Orchestrated by his veteran promoter Bob Arum, Cotto has knocked out 25 of 30 opponents on a steady career path that parallels the one perfected by Oscar De La Hoya -- a slow and steady series of challenges that accounts for a learning curve but aims for a legendary night.
Saturday is that evening for Cotto, who will fight Pomona's Sugar Shane Mosley at Madison Square Garden in New York. Mosley has won world championship belts as a lightweight, welterweight and light middleweight.
He's also 36 years old, hasn't knocked out anyone except Fernando Vargas since 2001, and now finds himself in his 50th fight, counting a no-decision.
"Throughout boxing history, there's always been battles between the young lion and the old lion," Arum said. "If the young lion is well-schooled, he wins. That's the law of nature and boxing."

| Underdog Santiago Preparing to Upset Bodog Fight Champ Posted: 09 Nov 2007 08:21 PM CST 
Bodog Fight Middleweight Champion Trevor Prangley may be considered the favorite to win California's first-ever sanctioned mixed martial arts tournament, but Florida's Jorge Santiago is prepared to upset the champ should they meet Friday, Nov. 16 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose.
"I'll throw everything I have at him," says Santiago. "I think I can beat him on the ground or standing up."
Santiago (14-7) and Prangley (16-4) are two of the four men competing in the single-elimination middleweight tournament that will headline Strikeforce: Four Men Enter, One Man Survives, presented by Bodog Fight.
The other combatants are Yuki Sasaki (21-13-1) and Falaniko "Niko" Vitale (24-7). The winner of the tournament will have to get through two matches, with each bout consisting of two five-minute rounds. A random draw to determine the match-ups will take place during the weigh-in, and although Santiago recognizes Prangley's skills, he isn't afraid to face him in the tournament.
"Trevor Prangley says he is one of the best 185-pound fighters in the world and I agree with him, but everyone has his day."
A black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Santiago is a threat on the mat but he's also able to strike with the best - as he proved in his Bodog Fight debut last April in St. Petersburg, when he knocked out the hard-hitting Andrei Semenov with a vicious uppercut. The blow stunned the Russian so badly, he mistakenly attempted to tackle the referee before he could regain his bearings.

| Kimbo the latest street-fighting sensation Posted: 09 Nov 2007 06:42 PM CST 
By Dave Meltzer
Will the real Kimbo Slice please stand up?
Before there was such a thing as UFC, and knowledge of what constituted real fighting with techniques from every fighting sport legal, people had their fantasy about the big streetfighter who wasn't trained in the gym who was the toughest guy in town. The role is as old as the fame of the pro wrestler Dick the Bruiser in the 50s, and maybe goes back to the pioneer heavyweight boxer, John L. Sullivan.
In the modern MMA era, the first guy in the U.S. who fit the bill was David "Tank" Abbott. In the early days of UFC, even though Abbott never got so much as one win in his career over a top-level fighter, he made himself a lucrative career in the sport and was one of the most popular and most talked about fighters in the UFC's early years.
Whether true or not, people bought into the idea that Abbott was this guy who would rather fight than do anything else, and would come off the bar stool and get into the cage and fight anyone at any time. Even today, Abbott has this unique charisma, because people think back to the early UFC's and remember his spectacular knockouts, even though most of them were a generation ago against fighters with skill levels that the only way they'd be at a UFC show today is if they purchased a ticket.
But Abbott has past 40, and his record over the past nine years is 1-7.

| Will Shields get chance to shine? Posted: 09 Nov 2007 01:10 PM CST 
By Kevin Iole
He hasn't lost since the end of 2004 and he's reeled off victories over some of the top mixed martial artists in the world, but Jake Shields somehow remains one of the game's most anonymous stars. And even when things seem to be going good for him, something happens to put a damper on it.
But Shields takes the view that sooner or later, it's going to dawn on the masses that he's one of the world's elite welterweights. Shields, 28, hasn't lost since he dropped a decision to Akira Kikuchi on Dec. 14, 2004. Since, he's reeled off eight in a row, including wins over WEC champion Carlos Condit and top-ranked UFC middleweight Yushin Okami.
Shields, who is 19-4-1, thought he was going to be fighting Mike Pyle on Showtime on Saturday in Corpus Christi, Texas, for the Elite XC welterweight title. He'll still be fighting Pyle and he'll still be on Showtime, but the title shot has vanished. Pyle was unhappy with the way he was being promoted by Elite XC and declined the title shot. Shields wasn't sure what to make of the situation, but said he'll bring the same intensity he would have had the bout been for a belt.
"Obviously, every fighter wants to win a championship," Shields said. "It's one of my goals. He didn't want it for whatever his reasons are, but that doesn't change the fact that I need to perform at a certain level."

| Kelly Pavlik Official Injury Update Posted: 09 Nov 2007 01:00 PM CST 
World middleweight champion KELLY PAVLIK suffered minor injuries to his hands and forearms while repairing a broken window at his house on November 5, but the prognosis is excellent and his rematch against former world champion Jermain Taylor remains on schedule for February 16, 2008
"Kelly sustained three superficial lacerations to the right forearm and hand and also three superficial lacerations to the left forearm and hand. He also had numerous superficial abrasions. The wounds were explored and there was no evidence of tendon damage or tendon involvement on any of the lacerations. The six lacerations were repaired with sutures in the office," said Sandy P. Naples, M.D. of Poland Family Practice in Poland, OH. Dr. Naples is also the Chairman of the Department of Family Practices at St. Elizabeth Health Center. "He has full function including full flexion, extension, supination and pronation. He has full range of motion of his fingers."
In layman's terms, within a week of the sutures being removed, scheduled for November 16, Kelly will be able to resume his training. Pavlik's training camp for the Taylor rematch remains set for the first week of December.

Hi everyone. This week I'm going to focus this whole thing on talking to Rashad directly, after his hilarious and slightly puzzling blog on UFC.com two days ago. Enjoy!
Rashad, I'm glad you've got an English guy in camp so he can tell you what I mean when I say your last blog was complete bollocks.
At the risk of taking it to the "He said, she said" level - you threw the first rotten egg, mate. You did the video on UFC.com blasting me as a fighter and insinuating you shouldn't even have to fight me. Then your blog on Wednesday went completely over the top, making this fight a little personal when it is really about two undefeated fighters trying to move up the division.
I extended you nothing but respect, all I did was predict a win for myself and did a few one-liners about a knockout (it is called selling a fight, Rashad) which I even added the smiley face ;-) to make sure everyone knew it was just "fighting hype talk" and not to be taken seriously.
But thanks for giving me a look inside your head with your little rant. It was very interesting indeed, not to mention laugh out loud funny in places. I don't know if Joe Rogan is looking for an opening act for his comedy gigs, but your blog is a hell of an audition piece if he is.
You kept on about all these disrespectful things I'd said, but he never once gave an example. And such big fighting words from such a short man, Rashad! Very funny.

| UFC playing hardball with Arlovski Posted: 09 Nov 2007 12:04 PM CST 
By Roman Modrowski
Former UFC heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski is in the biggest fight of his career, and he's losing. Arlovski, who fights out of Chicago, is in a war of wills with UFC president Dana White. And as fierce as the 6-4, 240-pound Arlovski has been in the octagon at times, White is the toughest hombre in the UFC. You don't take a nothing organization and build it into a Sports Illustrated cover story without being able to stare down formidable opponents.
Arlovski has one fight left on his UFC contract. White wants to sign him to an extension before scheduling Arlovski's next fight. Arlovski wants to fight first and then negotiate a new contract. If he doesn't sign an extension or fight again, Arlovski's contract expires April 15.
White holds all the cards, but I doubt he'll just let the contract expire. It's bad business. Arlovski remains one of the five most popular fighters in the UFC. Just his appearance in Cincinnati at UFC 77 caused a huge stir in the crowd despite the fact he hasn't fought since April 21.
At the very least, White will want Arlovski to sell pay-per-view units before the contract expires. But in the meantime, Arlovski doesn't have an income. He still trains at JABB gym, and trainers aren't free. He's also losing sponsorship opportunities.

| EliteXC makes bad gamble with Kimbo Slice Posted: 08 Nov 2007 09:10 PM CST 
By Todd Martin
Saturday night, Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson makes his EliteXC debut. Slice signed a multiyear contract with EXC in the past month and since then has been heavily promoted by the organization.
Why is Slice the most heavily promoted fighter on EXC's upcoming card? He doesn't have an amateur wrestling pedigree. He isn't an accomplished jiu jitsu practitioner. He isn't a Muay Thai standout. In fact, he has only one sanctioned fight, and that was an exhibition against 46-year-old boxer Ray Mercer. Slice isn't being promoted for any of those reasons. Rather, EXC is hoping to capitalize on his fame as an underground street fighter. This is a mistake.
EXC's promotional philosophy is a sound one. It realizes better than most of UFC's competitors that MMA is built around star power. There are plenty of talented MMA fighters, but not all have the charisma, personality, fighting style or life story that can bring in the masses. Stars are needed to attract new fans and garner significant interest. Thus, the company has focused on signing potentially marketable fighters like Frank Shamrock, Nick Diaz, Robbie Lawler and Gina Carano.
This philosophy led the company to Slice. Slice's unique look and background make him a novelty. He will never be just another MMA fighter. But the positives are greatly outweighed by the many negatives that come with getting behind Slice.
To begin with, his fame is not as great as many seem to believe. He made his name in Internet message board forums based on online fights, but that community has never been large enough to make a major show profitable. The internet MMA community is small relative to the audience that watches EXC on Showtime, and miniscule relative to the broader UFC audience that EXC hopes to tap into. Slice's fight with Mercer ran on pay-per-view and generated very little interest even with the novelty of Slice's first sanctioned fight. Slice won't bring in a broad audience.

| Ken Shamrock Discusses Issues With UFC & More Posted: 08 Nov 2007 08:23 PM CST 
Ken Shamrock appeared as a guest on Fight Network Radio on November 7 along with his manager and attorney Rod Donohoo to discuss Shamrock's ongoing contractual dispute with Dana White and the UFC. Fight Network Radio can be heard every Monday through Friday at 3pm EST on Hardcore Sports Radio (Sirius Chan nel 186) and online at www.hardcoresportsradio.com and www.TheFightNetwork.com. The following is a transcript from that interview:
Ken Shamrock: Well, I'll tell you what happened was one, I talked to Dana White when I was fighting with Tito Ortiz on the Ultimate Fighter show and let him know there was an opportunity to get some of the Lion's Den fighters some fights on the team concept in the IFL. Dana kind've flipped out on that, saying he was gonna squash them and kill them, and that they're nothing but scumbags and he was gonna crush 'em. And it just kind of took me off guard, and he was very upset at them. And I guess he took them to court and lost a lawsuit to them, so he was pretty upset about that, because he thought that they had taken some things from him or whatever, but they were found innocent of all that. So, I told him, "You know, it's not like I'm fighting and it's not against my contract to coach my fighters on a show."
And he said, "Well, if you do that, even if it's not in your contract, you will never work for us again." Which I thought was kind of a threat - it had no bearing on my contract and that he was just trying to push me around. And at that point, I went ahead, and - because I didn't want to cause a problem at that point in time - I went ahead and said, "Alright, I'll just wait until I'm done with the fight with Ortiz." So, I finished the fight with Ortiz and then I went ahead and coached in the IFL. At that point, Dana White decided that he was going to go ahead and breach my contract and cut me loose. Since that time, there's been words exchanged back and forth. Dana White - and I'm going to prove that today - Dana White only says things that is going to benefit him and hurt others. And they're not even factual - it's just things that he makes up and that he says. The last interview that Dana White did was an interview to basically hurt me and put me down and hurt my credibility, and were completely, completely lies. And one of them was, Dana White said that Randy Couture makes money for us and Ken Shamrock does not.

| EliteXC heads to Texas in search of identity Posted: 08 Nov 2007 05:58 PM CST
By Steve Sievert
It looked like something out of Land of the Lost, not a stage prop worthy of being part of the debut of America's newest mixed martial arts promotion. And, yet, there it was for fans at DeSoto Civic Center in Southaven, Miss., and for those tuning in on Showtime for EliteXC's premiere show, optimistically called "Destiny."
Fighters made their way to the cage by walking through the mouth of the dragon - destiny indeed.
It was, well, an interesting start back in February for EliteXC, which hoped to make a grand entrance into the consciousness of mixed martial arts fans with two legendary names in the sport headlining its first show. The upstart organization had the backing of a premium cable network in Showtime and the leadership, connections and bravado of longtime boxing promoter Gary Shaw.
However, with the promotion on the verge of its fourth show, which will be held Saturday at AmericanBank Center in Corpus Christi, EliteXC is still searching for an identity and a formula that clicks with the broad MMA fan base.
In its three major shows, EliteXC has been all over the map in its approach. It resurrected the Shamrock and Gracie names, embraced fights among women (as long as one of those women was Gina Carano), teamed with Strikeforce on a co-promotion, and took its show to Hawaii. Through its parent company, ProElite, EliteXC also was part of the circus that was the Dynamite USA show in Los Angeles in June.
Shaw admits that it's been quite a ride.
"One of the low points, I think, was the show we did in June with FEG (Dynamite USA), where we kind of lost control of it. And I wasn't happy with the product, wasn't happy with the production. And I thought it was a real bad co-promotion. To me, that was the low point, because I like to be proud of what we put on. As far as high points, yeah, there are several. I had a high and a low on the same night. On February 10th, our first show ever in Mississippi was a huge high that we pulled it off with Frank (Shamrock) and Renzo Gracie. And the low point was when I looked at that dragon they were walking out of. So, when we make mistakes, I stand up and say we made mistakes. That dragon sucked."
