Chonan's last three fights have been very unispiring, imo. I hope he makes a better showing than those stinkers. Looks like it will be on the undercard non-televised fights too.

Yeah, he really hasn't been stealing the show since then. I as well hope he can revive his fighting career.


My 3yr took a headbutt last night and ended up with a knot between the eyes and bloody nose. I take him to training every so often and I'll wrestle with him during breaks (since I don't need one ), but this time he didn't heed my warning about staying out of the way while there was activity on the mat. Oh well, I told him. Not his first busted nose and I am so positve it won't be the last.

More horrible MMA news:

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Extreme Cagefighting middleweight Justin Levens and his wife were found dead on Wednesday from gunshot wounds in their Luguna Niguel, Calif. home, according to a report on TMZ.com.

Sources in the report say that the police are investigating the deaths as a possible murder/suicide.

Levens fought in numerous organizations over the past few years including the UFC, WEC and the IFL. The former Ruas Vale Tudo student was scheduled to compete on the first Affliction card in July of this year, but due to delays at the event, the fight was scrapped at the last minute. He later returned positive results for the drug Oxymorphone as part of his pre-fight drug testing and was subsequently fined $1,000 and suspended for six months, which would have run through Jan. 15, 2009.

Born in Philadelphia on April 18, 1980, Levens was 28 at the time of his death.

MMAWeekly.com will have more on this story as it becomes available.


Damn.

Forrest Griffin Vs. Rashad Evans - Hard fight to call, but I'll take Griffin breaking Evans' record.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Vs. Frank Mir - Nog willl try to box & both have top skills on the ground, so I take Nog
CB Dollaway Vs. Mike Massenzio - No real reason, just do not care for "Mr. Excuses".
Wanderlei Silva Vs. Quinton Jackson - Once, Twice, Three times I knock your dog-chain-wearin' monster-truck-drinvin' ass out.
Cheick Kongo Vs. Mostapha Al Turk - Kongo has never showed anything on the ground, going to have problems staying at the feet. I do like Kongo so hopefully he pulls out a KO.
Yushin Okami Vs. Dean Lister - I didn't know Lister was 6'1", I thought more at 5'8".

How many times can I be wrong in one night?

So does Jackson get his a shot at the belt ahead of the winner of Machida and Silva?

Mir's standup is very much improved.

Machida's last win was vs tito ortiz in a boring fight in May.
Silva lost and will probably have to redeem himself before a title shot, maybe by fighting Machida.

Possibly Rampage and Rashad next.


Mir looked amazing.
