Not sure if any of you guys have watched 'Red Belt' but it's a good MMA movie with a large focus on Jiu Jitsu...I rate it pretty high on authenticity of the fighting!

Ultimate Fighter Season 5 winner Nathan Diaz will make his return to the Octagon on Jan. 31 at UFC 94. He will face perennial fight of the night candidate Clay Guida, according to GracieFighter.com, a web site owned and operated by Diaz' trainer Cesar Gracie.

Diaz last saw action at UFC Fight Night 15 in Omaha, Neb., where he eked out the toughest victory of his UFC tenure. He fought a back-and-forth battle with tough Midwest fighter Josh Neer, earning a split decision victory. Diaz holds a professional record of 10-2 and is currently riding a five-fight winning streak.

A clear fan favorite for his "never say die" attitude, Guida has had a see-saw career in the Octagon, amassing a 4-3 record during his time in the UFC. He currently owns back-to-back wins, including the most prominent win of his career in his most recent bout. Also at UFC Fight Night 15, Guida won a hard-fought unanimous decision over Ultimate Fighter Season 6 winner Mac Danzig.

That should be a great fight! Also Stephan Bonner returns on that card too.

The K-1 fights the other night were great. If you can catch some of the fights it will be well worth it! Even though the winner of tourny won by DQ. Lots of great KO's. Also, I can't believe that idiot Junie will get to fight on TV in the TUF finale.

Good fights! Gouveia over MacDonald, so quickly, was quite the surprise.

Junie claims his actions on TUF were somewhat of an act to get noticed but I find it disgusting that someone can act like that and be rewarded for it.

Yahoo! Sports has released the list of the Top 10 North American Pay-Per-View buyrates for 2008 and it's clear that pro wrestling no longer dominates the PPV market. In fact, only 1 pro wrestling event broke the top 10 (WrestleMania 24) and it featured professional boxer Floyd Mayweather as one of its top attractions.

Here's the top 10 list:

1. Boxing: Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao, Dec. 6, 1,250,000
2. UFC: Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture, Nov. 15, 1,010,000
3. Wrestling: WrestleMania, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Paul “Big Show” Wight, March 30, 670,000
4. UFC: Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch/Lesnar vs. Heath Herring, Aug. 9, 625,000
5. UFC: Lesnar vs. Frank Mir, Feb. 2, 600,000
6. UFC: Quinton Jackson vs. Forrest Griffin, July 5, 540,000
7. UFC: St. Pierre vs. Matt Serra, April 19, 530,000
8. Boxing: Felix Trinidad vs. Roy Jones Jr., Jan. 19, 500,000
9. UFC: Chuck Liddell vs. Rashad Evans, Sept. 6, 480,000
10. UFC: B.J. Penn vs. Sean Sherk/Tito Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida, May 24, 475,000

Brock Lesnar’s 2.2 million buys over three fights made him the most-watched PPV fighter in 2008. His total was the second highest total in UFC history, trailing only Tito Ortiz, who did 2.25 million in headlining three events in 2006. And this is why Lesnar gets the attention he does and why he was promoted so hard.

Here is a great article on Lesnar: http://www.rapidcityjournal.com/arti...2562490078.txt
