Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar: UFC Commentator Joe Rogan’s HDNet Debate

Love him or hate him, aspiring stand-up comic and former Fear Factor reality show MC Joe Rogan is never short on colorful verbiage.

In addition to that, he is also an accomplished martial arts practitioner who holds a black belt in taekwondo and a brown belt in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu under his mentor Eddie Bravo.

What Rogan is most known for, however, is his role—alongside Mike Goldberg—as one half of the veteran voice of the Octagon’s UFC commentating team. Read more…

UFC News: Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen Is Confirmed

Anderson Silva has been the name on everyone’s lips since his victorious five-round MMA cagefighting destruction over the extremely outclassed Damien Maia during last weekend’s UFC 112 event in Abu Dhabi.

Silva, during the match, did everything but the Muhammad Ali “shuffle” and the Roy Jones “bolo” punch, yet he somehow finished the job at hand, retaining his 185-pound UFC middleweight championship title.

“The Spider” also set a new UFC record for six title defenses in the process. Read more…

UFC’s Joe Rogan to James Toney: Brock Lesnar’s “Going To Be Your Master”

In a recent YouTube.com video (posted below), the somewhat controversial UFC cagefighting commentator Joe Rogan weighs in on the ridiculous idea that legendary boxer James Toney, who is a soft 6′0″, 225 pounds and whose prime years came a decade ago, is now calling out the 6′4″, 290-pound beast and current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

To say that Rogan voiced his opinion in dramatic fashion would be a huge understatement.

Rogan asserted that the mammoth Lesnar would take Toney’s best punch and virtually “eat it” beforing lifting Toney up “like [he's] a pillow.” Read more…

UFC 112 Report: Joe Rogan All But Confirms Georges St. Pierre Vs. Anderson Silva

The Spider is an amazing creature; his web is an architectural masterpiece of nature.

As an elite predator, he uses this webbed trap to its maximum potential to catch his tasty meal, which may include any or all unwary flying bugs that have, unfortunately, become a little too careless.

In the world of mixed martial arts, specifically the UFC, the world’s best pound-for-pound fighter, Anderson “The Spider” Silva, is also a predator—only of a different sort.

Yet he is one who, not unlike the insect of the same name, also uses traps, feints, and various counter-punching techniques to render his quarry helpless. Read more…

With the announcement that the rescheduling of the postponed Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves bout will now be featured at the UFC 115 event in Vancouver, suddenly the show takes on new interest.

The much-anticipated—and continuously delayed—rematch between the welterweights was originally scheduled for UFC 107 in Memphis last December.

It then had to be rescheduled for UFC 111 in Newark on March 27 after Alves was forced to drop out due to suffering a torn posterior cruciate ligament in training. Read more…

The middle-aged yet seemingly ageless 46-year-old MMA legend Couture has previously lost twice in the “Randy vs Chuck” trilogy.

“The Natural,” at the time, quite “naturally” felt that the two career setbacks should be his last. Read more…

“Legionarius,” as he is known in fighting circles, was last seen defeating former 205-pound UFC light heavyweight contender James Irvin at UFC on Versus this past March. Read more…
