Update to above post. Dana has stated that Chuck will NOT fight Franklin. Franklin will fight the expert at wall and stall, Randy Couture. Supposedly, the fight is still on with Chuck and Tito.

StrikeForce + DREAM = Win!

Strikeforce has recently partnered up with DREAM to exchange fighters across the Pacific Ocean, and Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that he envisions a flourishing relationship moving forward.

"I worked for K-1 for about eight years, and the ownership group of K-1 and DREAM is still the same," Coker said. "I've maintained good relationships over there, and it's always been my dream – that's kind of a pun, right? – to have our guys fight their guys and to see who would end up on top. If our guys win, that's fantastic. If [their guy] wins, then that's just great. It's just good competition.

"I think it's the true nature of sports to compete. Now we have the DREAM champion against our champion, and especially for the hardcore fans, I don't think it gets any better than that."

Things didn't go so well for the Japanese promotion at January's "Strikeforce: Miami" event. DREAM sent over welterweight Marius Zaromskis, who was promptly drubbed by Nick Diaz.

DREAM will get a second shot at respect in April when lightweight Shinya Aoki faces Gilbert Melendez.

Coker said even he was a bit amazed that DREAM would be so willing to send over Aoki, the organization's lightweight title holder and widely regarded as one of the best fighters in the world.

"I feel very content," Coker said. "Aoki-Gibert, that's a fight that I thought 60-40 was not going to happen, even though I was pitching for it and pulling for it, because there's just so many things that can break down. I'm very appreciative to DREAM for honoring their word and sending Aoki to come over and compete against Gilbert."

Of course, Melendez's power could prove troublesome for Aoki. Would the Japanese be willing to continue the program even if Strikeforce's roster were to prove the better list?

"Timing is everything, and there was a time when PRIDE was taking it to everybody, and they probably had the best roster in the world," Coker said. "In some weight classes, I think [DREAM is] a little thin right now, but for our guys, we can test our guys and make those fights happen – like the UFC would never have their guys fight the other leagues' champion – so it's an interesting time.

"In Nashville, we're all going to get to see it as fans. I'm a fan, too, so I'm going to sit back and watch that fight, and whatever happens, happens. Let the chips fall where they may."

And with K.J. Noons set to fight at DREAM.13 later this month, Coker said the return plan is already underway.

"We're sending K.J. Noons over there in a coupe of weeks to compete," Coker said. "We'll be sending Nick Diaz over there, probably, at some point this year. They're going to ask for certain fighters. I think they've already requested Andrei Arlovski, which let's see how he does in the May fight."

It's an interesting time for Strikeforce, who – depending on who's talking – are either firmly entrenched as MMA's No. 2 promotion or on the brink of collapse.

Coker believes the former, and he hopes to continue to utilize the partnership with DREAM to make entertaining matchups.

"If the schedule permits, we'll let our guys go over there, and hopefully Tatsuya Kawajiri and Hayato 'Mach' Sakurai and all the fighters that we'd like to see over here eventually make their way over here and fight our top guys," Coker said. "Let's get it on."

Roger Huerta in Bellator

According to MMAJunkie, Roger Huerta (20-3-1) will be participating in Bellator's Season two Lightweight Tournament:

Sources close to the situation confirmed to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the popular lightweight received his formal release from the UFC this week, which opened the door to finalize a deal with the upstart promotion.

Bellator has called a video press conference for Monday at 3 p.m. ET that will stream live at Bellator.com.

Huerta will part of the 8-man tourney, which already includes talented prospects, Toby Imada (23-13), Jorge Masvidal (19-5), Chad Hinton (6-0), Mike Ricci (5-0), Ferrid Kheder (16-5), Janne Tulirinta (12-3), and Carey Vanier (7-2). Should he come out victorious, Roger will then earn a shot at Season 1 winner, and current Bellator lightweight champ, Eddie Alvarez.

Looks like it's gonna be a great card. Gotta go with Renzo and I hope he rips Hughes apart! Never liked him.

jerseystepup · 03-16-2010, 07:00 PM

It's going to be a war definatly.. I've never seen him like this before... He's so relaxed.. Youd think he's getting ready to go to a party. He's having fun training, having fun working out, having fun teaching, and just totally enjoying himself.. Mentally he's right where he wants to be... Physicaly he's training like he's 25.

SinPena! · 03-16-2010, 10:33 PM

I like Renzo, but Hughes is going to man handle him. Shamrock was totally controlling Renzo during their fight, and Renzo played the illegal head hit to the fullest.......................

Renzo has never looked like he does know... trust me, he's at a different point in his life... And the place where this fight is being held is a very important place to renzo.

Maybe this will clear things up:

Tito injures neck, Can't fight Chuck at TUF 11 Finale

Reports surfaced of Tito Ortiz being in the hospital over the past few days and that raised speculation of whether it had anything to do with the rumors that the coach of The Ultimate Fighter season 11 was forced out of his gig on the show and his bout with Chuck Liddell was in question.

Thanks to the fine work of the fellas over at FiveOuncesOfPain.com, it seems that there could be a reason for all of this talk.

A storm of speculation has surrounded the reasoning behind Tito Ortiz‘ recent removal from his expected bout with Chuck Liddell along with a recent coaching gig on the eleventh season of The Ultimate Fighter.

Sources close to the situation have recently indicated to FiveOuncesofPain.com that multiple herniations in the neck of Ortiz prompted his removal from both the taping of The Ultimate Fighter Season 11, and his anticipated clash with fellow coach Liddell at the conclusion of the most recent season.

While Ortiz says he was only in the hospital due to a bad case of the flu, these reports indicate that he has a much more serious issue to take care of. Whether the hospital stay and his neck injury are related we do not know, but Ortiz is out of his bout with Chuck Liddell and will now face another recovery from injury.

Ortiz has battled back injuries for quite some time and finally made his return to the octagon late last year where he dropped a split decision contest to fan-favorite Forrest Griffin.

There is no word on how serious the injury is or how long Ortiz could be forced to rehab his neck, but stayed tuned for the latest developments.

The UFC today officially announced the fight, which initially was supposed to take place at in December at UFC 107.

03-19-2010, 02:51 PM

Now that's the fight I'm looking forward too! I want Jackson to win but don't think he can pull it off.

SinPena! · 03-19-2010, 03:44 PM

I want Jackson tooooooooooooooo! Silva got robbed on the last fight with Rashad...

Pages boxing and his chin is great! WAR PAGE!

Well, what looked like a really good card turned out to be............meh. Although JDS is a beast and is quickly on his way to the top. Heavy, heavy hands. Vera and his three broken facial bones should just go away as I am sick of him. He was no match for "Bones" Jones. Irvin, WTH was that?

Jon Jones, Junior Dos Santos, John Howard and Clay Guida each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Sunday's UFC on Versus 1 event.

For the first time ever, the organization dished out three "Knockout of the Night" awards (to Jon Jones, Junior Dos Santos and John Howard), a single "Submission of the Night" bonus (Clay Guida) and no "Fight of the Night" honors.

I am still wondering why Guida was on the undercard. He always has exciting fights.

I agree with all the above. Plus they just seemed to do more talking and took longer between fights then they do on Spike, may be just in my head. But they could have squeezed in another fight at the end instead of a chessy rerun.

UFC on Versus 2 set for Aug. 1, Oakland to host its first-ever UFC event

BROOMFIELD, Colo. – With its Versus debut in the books, the Ultimate Fighting Championship has already secured a second event on the cable station's lineup.

Following Sunday's successful UFC on Versus 1 event, Versus president Jamie Davis confirmed that UFC on Versus 2 will take place on Aug. 1.

The event takes place in Oakland, Calif., which hosts its first-ever UFC event, though a venue was not announced. MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) is working to confirm additional details of the late-summer show.

03-22-2010, 01:05 PM

So this past Friday I stopped by one of my local B&Ms and while there one of the guys was talking about his buddy who was dropping by, he is a MMA fighter. So once he got there he sat down and started talking. At first I did know who he was, but after talking to him I found out he is UFC fighter Melvin Guillard http://www.ufc.com/MelvinGuillard (he didn't have his blonde hair LOL). He is fighting Thiago Tavares in UFC 114 (Jackson Vs Evans). He was leaving today to go train in New Mexico. Anyway it was cool talking to and smoking a cigar with the guy. He has a new fan.

Fedor vs. Werdum scheduled for June

During a press conference following DREAM 13, Scott Coker told reporters that Fedor Emelianenko would finally make his Strikeforce return this summer, seven months after his second-round knockout of Brett Rogers:
"M-1 Global and Strikeforce entered into a three fight contract exclusive for Fedor to fight in a co-promotion between Strikeforce and M-1 Global, and as you know we did the first fight on November 7 in Chicago. Fedor is now scheduled to fight in June towards the end of the month in America against Fabricio Werdum."
