Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

You may not have heard of Matt Makowski (2-0) yet, but all that may change soon enough. The 21-year-old fighter will face Nike Serra on the undercard of the May 31st Elite XC on CBS card. There's always pressure going into any bout but you would have to think that all ...

Random Muesli: FNR, RAW, Stamford…

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

* Yo, yo, yo...I'll be a guest on Fight Network Radio today at 3 p.m. EST. Check 'er out. * RAW has definitely been must-miss-TV for me lately. I had a feeling this would happen once HHH became champion. Plus, the Regal power-hungry GM gimmick is so played out there is ...

MMARated Radio: The Misrepresentation of Jeremy May?

Monday, May 12th, 2008

It wasn't quite Gabe Ruedieger-esque but Jeremy May's behavior on last week's episode TUF 7 was quite the controversial one. Actually, maybe controversial isn't the right word...annoying might be more accurate.So, why did he pour lime juice in Matt Brown's dip anyways? And why did the rest of the cast ...

Nate Quarry To Replace Chris Leben At UFC 84?

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Last week, I was tipped off by a reliable source that Nate Quarry was being considered as a replacement for Chris Leben should his legal troubles get worse. Well, I think it's officially safe to say that Leben's problems have worsened. MMAMania.com is reporting that Leben was sentenced today to 35 ...

MMARated.com: A Tough Pill To Swallow For Luke Zachrich

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Luke Zachrich is coming off a disappointing, yet spirited, loss to Dan Cramer on last night's edition of "The Ultimate Fighter" and I can't help but feel a little bad for him a day later. You see, Zachrich's fight was nudged right after the whole Matt Brown-Jeremy May battle with little ...
