Herman off UFC 136 with a positive drug test

Herman off UFC 136 with a positive drug test

Dave Herman was preparing for his UFC 136 bout with Mike Russow when he heard the bad news from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the group who will oversee the UFC's trip to Houston next week. Herman's drug test came up positive for marijuana, a drug that Herman claims he has never used.

"Texas said they never lost it and the first one [was intended to detect] drugs and the second was for steroids," said Herman, who apparently didn't fail the steroids test. "I don't even smoke. ... I haven't even had a beer in two month."

Herman has been fighting since 2006 and has not failed a single drug test. Before starting with the UFC in June in a TKO of Jon Olav Einemo, Herman has fought in Bellator, Sengoku and EliteXC, putting together a record of 21-2.

Now, Nam Phan's rematch with Leonard Garcia will appear on the pay-per-view card of UFC 136.

Matchmaker, matchmaker: Wandy in for Belfort, OSP gets Mousasi

The Zuffa yentes have been hard at work, making matches, finding finds, catching catches for UFC 139 and the Strikeforce event in December.

Matchmaker, matchmaker: Wandy in for Belfort, OSP gets Mousasi

Dana White announced on Twitter that Wanderlei Silva will now fight Cung Le at UFC 139. Vitor Belfort, who had been tabbed for the main event, is injured. Silva's last fight was a brutal KO by Chris Leben, and afterwards, White had suggested that Silva retire. This is on the same card that will feature Dan Henderson's return to the UFC against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.

Strikeforce made the first official announcement for their Dec. 17 card that still doesn't have a venue. Former light heavyweight champ Gegard Mousasi will fight Ovince St. Preux. Mousasi's last Strikeforce bout was a draw against Keith Jardine. He won a DREAM bout in Japan in July over Hiroshi Izumi.

St. Preux, who has risen through the ranks in Strikeforce and is on an eight-fight win streak, submitted Joe Cason on a July Challengers card. No other fights have been made official for this card, but it is expected that Gilbert Melendez will defend his lightweight title and featherweight champ Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos will make her return at this event.

Now put on your matchmaking hats -- what other fights would you like to see on that Strikeforce card? Tell us in the comments or on Facebook.

UFC 135 picks, Vegas-style: Koscheck is a massive favorite for a guy fighting on 19 days notice

Yahoo! Sports' lead MMA writer Kevin Iole joined "The MMA Insiders" show in Las Vegas to give his plays for UFC 135.

From a gambling standpoint, this is an interesting card to breakdown. The main and co-main events feature veteran fighters tabbed as massive underdog. Who has a better shot - Quinton Jackson or Matt Hughes? Adam Hill from the Las Vegas Review-Journal made a strong case for Hughes over Josh Koscheck.

Three weeks ago, Koscheck seemed to prepping for a fight at middleweight at UFC 139 in November. When Diego Sanchez dropped off this card with an injury, Koscheck jumped at the chance to fight Hughes. He looked good at the UFC weigh-in yesterday.

There's heavy public steam on some of the undercard favorites. That's pushing the numbers through the roof.

UFC 135 betting odds (Courtesy Cantor Gaming Las Vegas):

Best plays in bold

Jon Jones (-500) vs. Quinton Jackson (+375) - Light heavyweight title

Matt Hughes (+375) vs. Josh Koscheck (-500) - Welterweight

Mark Hunt (+270) vs. Ben Rothwell (-350) - Heavyweight

Rob Broughton (+300) vs. Travis Browne (-380) - Heavyweight

Nate Diaz (-250) vs. Takanori Gomi (+210) - Lightweight

Aaron Riley (+270) vs. Tony Ferguson (-350) - Lightweight

Tim Boetsch (-170) vs. Nick Ring (+140) - Middleweight

Junior Assuncao (+105) vs. Eddie Yagin (-135) - Featherweight

Cole Escovedo (+175) vs. Takeya Mizugaki (-210) - Bantamweight

Ricardo Romero (+135) vs. James Te Huna (-165) - Light heavyweight

UFC allows questionable music choices at UFN 25

UFC allows questionable music choices at UFN 25One of the fun parts of a live UFC event is the way fighters use music to pump up as they walk out to the Octagon, but two fighters made questionable choices in their walkout songs at Ultimate Fight Night 25. Those bad decisions were then repeated by UFC president Dana White, who approves every song that is used by fighters.

Ken Stone, who won via submission, walked out to the Prodigy song, "Smack My Bitch Up." The song repeats two lines, "Smack my bitch up, change my pitch up." When it was released in 1997, it was protested by women's groups as condoning violence towards women. MTV only allowed the song to be played late at night, and Wal-Mart and K-Mart pulled the CD from its stores. Prodigy released a statement that the song was not about violence, but that's not apparent from its lyrics.

The next bad decision was when Matt Riddle walked out to the Scorpions song, "Rock You Like a Hurricane." In most cities, it's the perfect song to walk out to, but these fights took place in New Orleans. That's a city that was literally rocked by a hurricane in 2005. Hurricane Katrina's effects are still being felt in New Orleans, as they struggle to restore their population and status as a tourist destination to pre-Katrina levels.

The UFC generally controls their brand very tightly, and UFC officials confirmed to Cagewriter that White approves every walkout song. He has vetoed songs in the past. It's surprising that the UFC would let these two songs slip through.

Spike and the UFC will not try to stay friends after break-up

Spike and the UFC will not try to stay friends after break-upSpike and the UFC are getting close to the end of their six-year relationship. They're dividing up their stuff and haggling over the little things, like their shared DVD collection. Like any break-up after a long relationship, it's getting ugly. Spike wants to move in with its new girlfriend, Bellator, but it can't do it with videos from the old girlfriend hanging around:

While Spike TV no longer will air live UFC events after this year, its existing contract allows it to air the UFC library (including past events, former "TUF" seasons, "UFC Unleashed" episodes and specialty programming) in 2012. However, as long as Spike TV has the rights to the content, it can't air programming ? including live events ? from other organizations, such as Bellator, until 2013.

The UFC could make try to buy back the library, but it's unlikely that they will make an offer. The last thing they want to do is hand over the audience they have spent six years building over to Bellator. The tournament-based promotion has been little more than a thorn in the UFC's side, but it could pick up many fans with a Spike deal that would trump Bellator's current deal with MTV2.

But Spike has its own way of dealing with the break-up. Say, counter-programming every UFC card that airs on Fox, starting with the Nov. 12 bout:

On Nov. 12, Spike TV will air a "UFC Unleashed" marathon ? dubbed "Dos Santos vs. Velasquez: Unleashed for the Heavyweight Title" ? featuring past fights with UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos.

This is likely a tactic that won't work out well for Spike in the ratings department, as fans would always prefer live MMA over taped, but it will help them work out their feelings about the break-up. It's OK, Spike. It takes time to heal. Just remember the good times, like the first "Ultimate Fighter" and the first time you had to bleep out a Dana White cuss word.

White vlog: MMA shows off its sportsmanship

The UFC's schedule is intense right now. UFC 135 comes later this week. With Ultimate Fight Night 25 and UFC 134 in the rear mirror, it gave Dana White a chance to catch the fans up on what happened in his first UFC 135 vlog.

The UFC president's personal videographer Eliot shot a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of fighters shortly after their fights at UFN 25. There's awesome exchanges between winner Matt Riddle and loser Lance Benoist as well as Shamar Bailey and Evan Dunham (4:35).

Any chance White thought this was a good time to put MMA sportsmanship on display because of what just happened with Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz? He says, no. Either way, it's a good showcase for MMA.

Also check out the beginning of the hype for UFC 135's title fight between Jon Jones and Quinton Jackson. Someone from MMA Meltdown radio show in Denver asked the timeless prefight question about when the UFC would be coming back to the city? For some reason, that sent "Rampage" rolling off the stage in laughter.

When the UFC announced their deal to air fights on Fox, Dana White was asked if this means that MMA is now mainstream. He answered that they weren't yet, but that they were getting the opportunity to become mainstream.

White may not think that the UFC is there yet, but an indicator that the UFC is becoming a household name is that three fighters are showing their faces on network late-night shows. First, Jason "Mayhem" Miller appeared on Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night to talk about the upcoming season of "The Ultimate Fighter."

Next, both main eventers from UFC 135 will appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Monday night. Light heavyweight champ Jon Jones and former champ Quinton Jackson are scheduled to sit with Kimmel together.

In the build-up to their fight, they've already had several, public squabbles which reached a head when Jackson accused Jones of planting a spy in Jackson's camp. Jones denied the allegations, but their animosity should make for interesting television.

For years, the UFC and their fighters would make advertisers run, so late night talk show hosts were loathe to book fighters. Now, in the course of a week, three are on network television.

Jones adds to trophy case, finishes ?Rampage? in fourth

Jones adds to trophy case, finishes ?Rampage? in fourthThe light heavyweight division should be extremely scared.

Jon Jones is still learning on the job, yet he's putting the division to shame. Jones schooled Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in every area of the game and finished the former champ via rear-naked choke at the 1:14 mark of the fourth round in the main event of UFC 135 in Denver.

This was Jones' first defense of the UFC light heavyweight title, a belt he won back in March by destroying another highly accomplished veteran in Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.

The 24-year-old Jones (14-1, 8-1 UFC - only loss via disqualification) has barely been threatened in nine UFC fights. Keep in mind, Jones started his MMA career just three and half years ago. His control of the fight Saturday night was awe-inspiring.

The veteran Jackson (32-9, 7-3 UFC) is still a very good fighter, but he never found a way to ward off the versatile attack coming from Jones.

"The goal was to prove we can strike with Quinton Jackson," Jones said. "He kind of insulted me saying I have no punching power. So my trainer Mike Winkeljohn cleaned up my striking to prove a point."

During the lead up to the fight, Jackson said Jones was all hype. After three-plus rounds of absorbing dozens of nasty kicks, punches and elbows as well as fighting off takedowns, mark down Jackson as a believer.

"I'm in the best shape of my life. I expected to be able to close the distance. I couldn't do it," Jackson said. "He's great guys. I thought it was hype. The kid is good. I have to take my hat off to him."

Jones adds to trophy case, finishes ?Rampage? in fourth

When Jones references his striking, he's talking about his hands, which are still a work in progress. But there's no denying his kicking game is as dangerous as anyone who's ever stepped into a cage.

Over the first 15 minutes, Jones brutalized Rampage's lead leg with kicks to the inside and outside. By the fourth round, Jackson was limping badly.

In the opening seconds of the round, Jones showed off some of that improvement with his boxing by landing a left hook that hurt Jackson. The 33-year-old backed up to the cage and Jones took him down. Rampage was sitting up against the cage when Jones delivered a big knee to his chest. It had to knock the wind out of Jackson because he slumped to his side. He was there for the taking.

Jones worked him to his back and rolled it over. He slapped on a choke and Jackson tapped six seconds later.

"Before the fourth round, my corner felt he was starting to break a little bit, so we came out and finished the fight," said Jones.

[Related: After yet another thorough win, can anybody stop Jon Jones?]

Jones' kicks really set things up over the course of the first three rounds, but Jackson was quick to point out the champion's wrestling pedigree also made him hesitant to attack.

"Jon is a great wrestler so you don't want to take too many chances. Jon keeps his fingers in your face so it's hard to get close to him," Jackson said of Jones, who possesses an incredible 84-inch reach. "Jon is good. I'm telling you, the kid's here to stay. I don't know ... whoever he fights next, I don't know who's going to beat him. He had me mesmerized."

Jones adds to trophy case, finishes ?Rampage? in fourth

Up next is Jones' former training partner Rashad Evans. Evans, also a former UFC 205-pound champion, had a bitter split with Jones and their gym in Albuquerque, NM. earlier this year. The trash talking between the two has been going on for the better part of nine months. It should make for a dynamite promotion.

The fight itself? Like Rampage said, who knows? If Jones keep improving and adding to his arsenal with each fight, the guy who'll eventually beat him may be in junior high school right now.

With Cormier injured, Barnett suggests alternative for Grand Prix finals

Daniel Cormier scored the biggest win of his MMA career on Saturday night, but it came with a price. In his knockout win over Antonio Silva, Cormier broke his hand. Via Twitter, he said that he will be for six weeks with the injury.

Josh Barnett beat Sergei Kharitonov on Saturday for the chance to fight Cormier for the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix title. When he heard about Cormier's injury, Barnett tweeted a fair alternative to fighting.

With Cormier injured, Barnett suggests alternative for Grand Prix finals

YES. Who wouldn't want to see Cormier and Barnett involved in a battle that resembled "West Side Story," where they would both yell, "MAMBO? MAMBO! GO!"

In reality, six weeks off for Cormier is not the worst thing. That means Cormier should be able to go sometime in November. Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said that the final will take place sometime in the first quarter of 2012, so Cormier's injury shouldn't delay the fight. It also won't necessitate the really terrible idea that Coker floated: a replacement for Cormier in the finals.
