Bright spots of 2010
Call me egotistical, but I enjoy re-visiting old posts on this blog for a variety of reasons. Primarily, I’m able to live vicariously through my own adventures in those times (*cough* JANUARY *cough*) when snow, ice and cold make it impossible to actually enjoy the bike. There’ve been a few times when having such a [...]

Griffin says he won't quit on himself this time
Forrest Griffin has been away from the Octagon for 14 months. It's given him a lot of time to think. What did he come up with? He sounded pretty critical of his mental game during this interview with MMADieHards.
Griffin talked about a fighter's mindset entering a fight.
"There's two things you need to know. One, that you won't quit on yourself and two, that I've done the work. I'm doing the work. I know that I won't quit on myself," said Griffin.
Griffin believes that he's bailed out mentally during some of his losses.
"I've quit on myself before in fights. I'm not going to quit. I know how hard it is to live with it when you quit," Griffin said. "I won't quit. I've done the work. I'm not gonna break."
The biggest thing for Griffin is avoid getting overwhelmed by the moment just before and during the fight.
"It's just a fight. It's small. Of all the problems in the world, you getting in a fight is small," said Griffin.
Sounds like Griffin found some help with his mental game. Will it work against Rich Franklin? Griffin is the much bigger fighter at light heavyweight, but Franklin is a tough guy who'll push the former UFC light heavyweight champ the entire way.
Griffin's mental questions might be the reason Franklin actually opened as a sizeable favorite at minus-180.

MMA family seeks support for Brazilian landslide victims
Torrential rains in parts of Brazil triggered landslides that have killed more than 500 people. This has had a chilling effect on the MMA community, so closely tied with Brazil.
To lend a helping hand, the MMA teams at American Top Team and Team Armory have joined together to found Combat Athlete Charities. Money raised will buy food and shelter for people in Nova Friburgo.
MMA manager Alex Davis, a driving force behind Combat Athlete Charities, is in Nova Friburgo, one of the worst-hit areas and also the home to UFC fighter Edson Barboza, to assist with relief efforts. He described the scene to MMA Junkie:
"There are entire regions that have been wiped out. Thousands of people are without water and food. Hundreds of people, if not thousands, are buried under mudslides so deep that they will never be found. Whole families have been wiped out. It's to the point that there may be no one left to even remind us that these people were once there. [...]
"Roads and bridges have all been wiped out, leaving thousands of people isolated with no water, no food, no electricity."
The landslide has already claimed the mother of Pablo Popovitch, a BJJ world champ and Abu Dhabi champion, and he's asking for help in saving his father's life. UFC fighter Kenny Florian supported Popovitch, using his Twitter account to ask for donations and support for his friend.
Brazil's effect on MMA is undeniable. The sport owes its beginnings to the Brazilian Gracie family, and today, three of the top five pound-for-pound fighters are Brazilian.

McKenzie is 'not that athletic,' but plans on finishing Edwards
Cody McKenzie made his name on the 12th season of "The Ultimate Fighter," showing off a nasty guillotine that he renamed the "McKenzie-tine." He gets another chance to pull it off against Yves Edwards at "Fight for the Troops" on Saturday, but he still considers himself unathletic.
McKenzie has 11 straight wins by guillotine, not including his wins on TUF. He'll have his hands full with MMA veteran Yves Edwards, whose last submission loss was to Mark Hominick at UFC 58.

Melvin Guillard Brutalizes Evan Dunham
by Michael David Smith
Melvin Guillard has started 2011 looking the best he's ever looked.
Guillard destroyed Evan Dunham at the UFC Fight for the Troops 2 event at Fort Hood, winning in a first-round technical knockout in dominant fashion, with hard punches and brutal knees knocking Dunham to the canvas and forcing the referee to stop the fight at 2:58 of the first round. The last of the knees Guillard landed appeared to come after Dunham had already gone to the ground -- which would have made the knee illegal -- although Guillard already had Dunham all but finished before that.
"I'm very happy," Guillard said afterward, thanking the troops at Fort Hood who had turned out to watch the fight and noting that he comes from a military family.

Experienced Prangley wary of another jiu-jitsu ace from the Gracie clan
Trevor Prangley is not a young man, so at this point in his fight career he's looking for challenges. It doesn't matter if it comes at light heavyweight or his more natural weight class, middleweight. That's why he didn't hesitate in taking a fight against former heavyweight Roger Gracie at 205. Prangley, 38, will meet Gracie on Saturday at Strikeforce in San Jose (Showtime, 10 p.m. ET/PT).
The South African downplayed a huge edge in MMA. He has 30 pro MMA fights to Gracie's three. Prangley told Strikeforce.com:
"I think it will play a little bit of a part. But the guy has been on the world stage in jiu-jitsu so many times that I don’t think it will be as big of an advantage as people might think. He’s competed at a high level in jiu-jitsu and submission wrestling all over the world, and it’s the same concept, really. But Roger’s never really been hit, and I’m going to put it on him."
Prangley isn't the most technical boxer, but he's a hard puncher. His striking wore down Keith Jardine at Shark Fights 13.
Prangley, a former Division I wrestler, knows he probably needs to keep the fight standing. His submission defense is solid, but Gracie, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, is off the charts. Prangley:
"A guy like him is so good, that I can train basic stuff, but if he gets me in a bad position, its going to be a matter of fighting hard and never stopping my movement. There are no secrets that I’m going to pick up in the last few weeks before that fight that’s going to help me avoid getting submitted I just intend to not give him the opportunity to get a submission. That’s what I’m focusing on. Not the submission defense itself, but stopping him from getting into position to get an opportunity to submit me."
Prangley is banking on the fact that he's catching Gracie early in his career before he turns into a complete fighter. He also knows time is short and without a win here, future fights with the big promotions are going to be harder to come by.
"I’m going to win this fight, and I have to win it because it’s a 'do or die' situation for me. Roger’s really early in his career, so a loss for him won’t be that devastating, but for me it’s devastating. And so I’m not going to allow it to happen. So the fans can expect a win from me."

What fighters go through for your entertainment
At the beginning of each UFC pay-per-view, the UFC plays an opening video that likens the UFC to gladiators, like this one from UFC 124:
But how much do today's fighters have to do with the gladiators of ancient Rome? Quite a bit, it turns out. Like Maximus, they put their bodies through hell so that you'll be entertained, but they don't give much thought to the future. In a column from MMA Fighting, Strikeforce fighter Jason "Mayhem" Miller recognizes the risks, but says it doesn't change anything.
"Athletes know this stuff. We do," said Miller. "We're not dumb. It's like that new research that links head injuries and Lou Gehrig's disease. Well, duh, science. Thanks for telling us what athletes already know. We know what we're doing to ourselves. It's the elephant in the room. We're giving our bodies for the entertainment of the masses. I'm okay with that. I've had plenty of surgeries. I know there's a chance that I could be retarded. I know that."
MMA is far from the only sport where athletes take these risks. Football players take on massive amounts of punishment, as do boxers and hockey players. But it's worth reading the entire article to hear how fighters we know and love have paid the price.

Diaz submits 'Cyborg' after vicious standup battle
Striking, grappling and submissions, Nick Diaz can do it all. The Strikeforce welterweight champ is also as tough as they come.
In absolute war, Diaz ate the best that brawler Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos had to offer on the feet. Then he went into his bag of tricks, turning to his jiu-jitsu.
Late in the second round, a tired Cyborg took the fight to the ground and was submitted via armbar moments later by the versatile Diaz. The 27-year-old veteran retained his belt with the finish at 4:51 of the second in the main event of Strikeforce: 'Diaz vs. Cyborg' in San Jose, Ca.
Diaz (24-7, 5-0 Strikeforce, 6-4 UFC) wasn't surprised that the Brazilian striking dynamo chose to take it to the mat.
"I figured I'd put pressure [on him], he's gonna have to do something," Diaz told Showtime's Mauro Ranallo. "You know, if he didn't want to take anymore, he was going to have to take me down."
Cyborg (18-14) got off to a great start. He fired away with leg kicks and sent Diaz a message, that he had a war on his hands. Cyborg landed 16 nasty kicks out of 26 attempts in the opening round and Diaz just stood in front of him.
Cyborg won the first three and half minutes. He landed some huge rights that Diaz took and kept walking forward. The Californian was able to wrestle control of the round when he landed a huge left that pushed Cyborg back on the cage with 1:36 left.
Diaz, who also competes as a triathlete, has legendary cardio. Cyborg wore himself out with all those early strikes. The final 90 seconds saw Diaz land just about everything he threw. He drilled Cyborg with 36-of-64 punches in the first.
The all-out brawl had the crowd buzzing at the HP Pavilion. Diaz said he owed it to Cyborg to stand and bang with him.
"No, it's just really out of respect for the way he fights," Diaz said. "He came out here to fight me. He doesn't to try to play a game to win. He tries to come out here and get the knockout win, put on a show for you guys."
Cyborg came hard in the first two minutes of the second, but Diaz's relentless volume of punches broke down the Brazilian. With less than a minute left in the round, Cyborg tried to change the pace of the fight and scored a takedown via trip. Once it hit the mat, he found himself in a dangerous place, Diaz's guard.
In his early 20's, Diaz built his MMA reputation as a submission artist. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt showed he's still sick on the ground. Cyborg left himself open and was tapping less than 20 seconds later.
Both fighters threw with reckless abandon and absorbed a lot of strikes. Diaz made good on 75-of-142 (53 percent). Cyborg actually landed more shots, 85-of-173, with 34 of those shots being kicks. The Brazilian has a chance to be a real player in the welterweight division. This was just his second fight down at 170. He was a little small at middleweight. He'll be handful for welterweights in the future.

Pat Barry Tops Joey Beltran at UFC Fight for the Troops 2
by Michael David Smith
Pat Barry fought Joey Beltran at the UFC Fight for the Troops 2 in a bout that started slowly but turned into a slugfest -- if not a very technically sound fight -- in the end. When 15 minutes of brawling was over, Barry had won a unanimous decision.
Barry, who tearfully dedicated the fight to his late father afterward, won 30-27 on one judge's scorecard and 29-28 on the other two judges' cards. His record improves to 6-2, while Beltran falls to 12-5.

Barry emotionally wins unanimous decision at Fight for the Troops 2
Pat Barry leg kicked his way to a unanimous decision, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28 over Joey Beltran at Fight for the Troops 2 in Texas on Saturday night.
Beltran controlled Barry throughout the round using the clinch, and even landed a few shots to the groin before the two were separated and Barry was given time to recover. Beltran stayed close enough to keep Barry from throwing many damaging kicks, which clearly frustrated Barry.
In the second round, Beltran started with a series of punches and completed a takedown, but also absorbed several punishing leg kicks from Barry. By the end of the round, Beltran was limping, but still ended the round with a flurry of strikes and knees.
Beltran continued to use the clinch in the third round, battering Barry's face for the beginning of the round, but Barry didn't let Beltran stick around too long. He continued to use leg kicks, and at one point, pushed off Beltran's face to throw a kick. He inadvertently poked Beltran in the eye, stopping the fight for the doctor to come in.
When the bout was re-started, Barry found a second wind, landing kick after kick on Beltran's already wary leg. Beltran tried for a takedown to avoid the kicks, but Barry used his position on the ground to hammerfist Beltran's tenderized leg. Barry returned to his feet and landed several more kicks as the final horn sounded. Beltran collapsed to the ground, his leg clearly in pain.
Barry was emotional after the fight, speaking of his father, a solider who died 25 years ago. Several of Barry's family members served in the military, giving his bout at Ft. Hood extra meaning. He said that he was surprised that Beltran contnued to come forward.
"That dude is a zombie. I hit him in the face 300 times, and he kept coming forward," Barry said of Beltran.
This win was Barry's first time back in the Octagon since breaking his hand and foot in a loss to Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. Beltran has now suffered his second loss in a row, after dropping a unanimous decision to Matt Mitrione at UFC 119.

Viking trash talk: Wren says Lesnar is a poser
Who knew there was such angst and jealousy in the world of Vikings? Brock Lesnar tabbed himself a nordic warrior, grew a gnarly beard and bagged a deer during a hunting trip to Canada. Justin Wren, a fellow American MMA fighter of Scandanavian descent, took Lesnar to task. Apparently, Lesnar isnt Viking enough. Wren posted on the Underground Forum that Lesnar's beard was weak and phony:
One had a beard for a month... The other was the only student with his own razor at middle school.
One was clean shaven for over 30 years... The other hasn't shaved once since high school (5 1/2 years)
Wren says deer, schmeer.
One shoots a deer from HUNDREDS of yards away ... and carries it out.
The other's FIRST hunt, he used only a 3 inch knife, chased down hog, flipped it to it's back, ripped out it's heart, and carried out the "Brock" sized hog over a 1,000 yards out through heavy brush, creek beds, cactus, 2 & 1/2 weeks after back surgery.
Wren finished by mocking on Lesnar for eating deer sausage while he was feasting hog hearts, one evidently exhibiting the stab wounds.
This is clearly some good-natured ballbusting. If not, Wren, a former contestant on Season 10 of "The Ultimate Fighter," better get his career into gear so we can see the "Yuppie Viking' against the "real Viking' at UFC 154. Check out Wren's website.

The UFC just wants you to like them. Literally -- if you "like" them on Facebook, then you'll get to stream two preliminary fights from this weekend's "Fight for the Troops."
Head to the UFC's fan page, click on the "like" button, and then you can watch Cody McKenzie take on Yves Edwards in a fight that McKenzie promises to finish, and also watch DaMarques Johnson face Mike "Joker" Guymon for free. To the press release:
“I’m always looking for ways to give fans fights for free and this is just another example of that,” UFC President Dana White said. “Facebook is such a great tool for people to stay connected and we’re excited to put two live fights on our UFC page for free.”
Those fights will happen before the rest of the card -- headlined by Evan Dunham vs. Melvin Guilard and Tim Hague vs. Matt Mitrione -- airs on Spike TV for the cost of basic cable.
While you're at Facebook, check out the Cagewriter Facebook page. We can't give you any free fights, but hey, we were nice enough to tell you about it, right?

Training at Jackson's, Jones adopts the Diego Sanchez cartwheel
We didn't intend for today to be Jon Jones day, but this video from the Jackson's MMA Twitter feed was too fun not to share. Watch the first minute to catch Jones' tumbling skills.
Learning from campmate Diego Sanchez, Jones has adopted the "YES! Cartwheel" and turned it into the "YEAH! Cartwheel." Sanchez, a confirmed bag of crazy, has added to his psychotic persona by shaving his head, and he is still wearing his jersey from the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter."
A bit of training news is dropped at the end of the video: Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix participant Andrei Arlovski is working with Jackson's camp to prepare. He sparred with Rashad Evans, who is getting ready for his title bout with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.

Bears fans thank Bas Rutten for his calm, cool head
Football fans know that on Sunday, the Bears will play the Packers for a shot at the Super Bowl. It's kind of a big deal here in Chicago (you can read all my Bears-related blogging here, and all of Yahoo! Sports' awesome NFL coverage here), but the Bears might not have reached the NFC Championship game without Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Urlacher. It turns out that Brian Urlacher might not be where he is without the kindness of MMA legend Bas Rutten.
So on behalf of all Bears fans, thank you, Bas, and thank you to the bouncers who stepped in and prevented Urlacher from getting the liver shot that Bas would have definitely delivered.

The Nationals are done and dusted.� It was certainly a crazy 250 race for the championship and it was all Dungey and the Suzuki freight train for the 450s.� However, now we are getting geared up for the 2011 Supercross season and the focus changes from all out speed to more technical, precise riding.� The [...]

Dana White Will Change His Mind About Women 'Never' in the UFC
by Michael David Smith
One of those camera-toting TMZ reporters who follows celebrities around and questions them as they're getting into their limos recently caught up with UFC President Dana White for a 19-second interview that you can watch here.
White briefly confirmed that heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez is doing well in his recovery from surgery, then was asked, "When are we going to see women in the UFC?"
White replied, "never."
Fortunately for those of us who want to see women in the Octagon, White has shown in the past that "never" does not mean what he thinks it means.

Greg Jackson Evangelizes for MMA on Local TV
by Michael David SmithThis local TV news interview with mixed martial arts coach Greg Jackson doesn't break any news for anyone who follows the sport, but it's interesting for a few reasons anyway.
For starters, it's a reminder of how far MMA is from being mainstream: When a local channel (in this case, KRQE in Albuquerque) does a show on MMA, they feel the need to spend a full minute telling the viewers to brace themselves because it's "not for the faint of heart." It's just assumed that most of the viewers will have no idea what MMA is, and will be turned off when they see the footage.
But once we get that bit of unpleasantness out of the way, the interview is also interesting because Jackson does such an impressive job of portraying MMA as a cerebral exercise, not a violent competition.
