As hard as we try we can not always cover everything going on in the world of MMA. I know… it’s hard to believe. So, here’s a few things we didn’t cover this week that may just be worth your time checking out… or maybe not. I mean if it was that damn good we would have covered it, right? Probably. Nevertheless here’s our Sunday night link dump for all those who have to know every single freakin’ detail about every freakin’ fighter in every little mom and pop promotion in the sport. Enjoy:
DREAM says the white cage is coming…why a white cage? Oooh the blood is gonna show up nicely! Here’s a preview for DREAM 12: The Cage of the Rising Sun (maybe something is lost in the translation…cause “cage of the rising sun” makes no damn sense).
King Mo was chillin in Tulsa when his boy Olympic wrestler turned MMA fighter Daniel Cormier put it on Gary Frazier in the Strikeforce Challengers event. Mo was in Cormier’s corner and the guys at Purefight.org caught up with the King after the bout. Mo gave his thoughts on Cormier’s performance, spoke about the possibility of fighting Randleman, and talked about Rampage’s “retirement.” Also I think Mo said he was thirsty or something.
Some little grappling tournament originally created by Sheik Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan took place this weekend in Barcelona, Spain. Here are the results for ADCC 2009.
You know that dude that does all the interviews for Raw Vegas TV, Dave Farra? He fought some radio guy with absolutely no skill. They were both padded to the hilt and Steve Mazzagatti reffed. Here’s the video.
PROMMA.INFO’s own TUF 10 blogger and star of The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights Justin Wren was on Tapout Radio this past week. It was a great interview as he revealed to the world how Kimbo Slice allegedly tried to bring a gun into the ATT gym after someone arm-barred him. If Kimbo would do that to someone in a stinky ol’ gym where there were few witnesses, just think what he might do if you submit the guy on national TV. That is true submission defense!
There’s a new documentary coming out about the first ever MMA event held in Iraq called “A Fight for the Troops.” Here’s a preview.
Our friends over at Around the Octagon picked up TUF 10 blogger Demico Rogers. Check out his new blog.
The Chairman resigns from the California State Athletic Commission and an investigation is launched as members are accused of ethics violations. Isn’t it always something with the CSAC? I wonder if this will effect UFC 104 which is scheduled to be held at the Staples Center in L.A. on Oct. 24.
Apparently a photo of Rampage Jackson was released taken on the set of The A-Team movie. The photo shows what appears to be Rampage with a mohawk a la B.A. Baracus flying off in a helicopter, but frankly it’s hard to tell who it is. While we’re at it, if you haven’t had enough yet, here’s some more talk from Jackson about Rashad and the movie.
