The WEC returns to Sacramento but this time the card will not be free on Versus. For the first time in WEC history they will be on the Pay Per View and they are showing up with the big guns. The two main cards are title fights at 155lbs and 145lbs. The Co-main event is a Lightweight rematch between the Champ Benson Henderson and Donald Cerrone, their last fight was a 5 round epic battle in which Henderson won by unanimous decision to win the interim title. Henderson would then go onto unify the Lightweight title by defeating Jamie Varner four months later by 3rd round submission. The main event since they are in Sacramento has to include Urijah Faber as he will attempt to regain is Featherweight title from dynamic knockout artist Jose Aldo. This will be Aldo’s first title defense of the Featherweight title he won by defeating Mike Brown by second round TKO.

MMA Valor – Random Thoughts

February 12, 2010   Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief)   2 Comments

The last several days news has been dropping like crazy. When this happens we like to review many of these topics in one single post.

- Martin Kampmann has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 111 match with Ben Saunders due to a nasty facial cut above his right eye. Click the link but be warned its pretty nasty http://bit.ly/d8G6IA. Jake Ellenberger has stepped in for Kampmann and will face Ben Saunders at UFC 111.

- Chael Sonnen is running for Oregon state Representative, following in Matt Linland’s footsteps. ~ The guy is talking about a title shot with Anderson Silva yet he also wants to be in politics. To beat Silva he will need to focus 100% on MMA and not 60/40 between MMA & politics.

Bad Mouth = Bad Taste

February 09, 2010   Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief)   1 Comment

In a follow up to a recent post of here “Tired of fighters excuses” staff writer Matthew Wheeler gives his thoughts plus add the recent comments by all of a sudden talkative Chael Sonnen.

We are coming to a split path for fans in MMA where some want the sport to grow and are willing to sacrifice while others are fine the way it has been. The way Dana White cuts fighters from the UFC has been successful for him, but I believe it puts stress on the fighters to do whatever it takes to stay in the organization. Recent examples would be Rumble after the Koscheck fight, Jay Silva after losing to Leben, Tito Ortiz for a few years,  and Chael Sonnen after the Maia fight. It’s like these fighters are seeing guys like Brock Lesnar flipping off the crowd and how much PPV numbers sold, and taking note. I guess they figure if they stir up a lot of commotion, win or lose Dana is going to keep them. This, in my opinion, leaves a bitter taste in True mixed martial arts fans mouths. I am sure it sucks to lose or have embarrassing fights on your record, but there are such things as class and dignity, in which fighters like Jamie Varner have lost.  The more fighters bash each other, the more this wonderful sport that we love turns into the WWE.
