JustSmile=) Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Heath Herring will replace Mark Coleman in UFC 87... Herring is a banger but I think it would be mistake to bang with Brock Lesnar... Do what Mir did, make him tap.. hehe... In my opinion, UFC 87 will be the PPV of the year for UFC... GSP vs. Fitch for the title... But the fight that I'm most eager to see is Kenny Florian against Roger Huerta... Winner will face BJ in the future, i think... hehe... Hope 'El Matador' Huerta wins... Quote Link to comment

Hope 'El Matador' Huerta wins... well, he could actually prevent Brock from taking him down. Brocks ability to take shots is still in question until he fights a good striker. This will be his first test against a dangerous striker and Herring is no pushover Quote Link to comment

Larry Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 i don't get all this Kimbo hype, yeah he's good but he's not THAT good. and I don't think he'll ever be. ------ I'm pulling for Heath to win against Lesnar, if he can avoid the rhino like takedown of Brock and probably land some knees in there somewhere (which was his biggest weapon during his Pride days), he has a good chance. I don't know what Brock will bring though, how he's trained for this, Herring has some subs too, so Brock should have done his homework and trained his ass off on escapes and controlling from the top.

Mixed martial arts show with Kimbo Slice scores big in Los Angeles - LA TIMES the Elite Show scored as high as a 4.7 rating meaning that close to 9 Million people watched it, it even edged out the stanley cup final (red wings X penguins) a 4.7 rating means that around 9 Million viewers were watching Kimbo that night.

Capt Spaulding Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 WWE’s Bobby Lashley signs with American Fight League Former World Wrestling Entertainment performer and decorated amateur wrestler Bobby Lashley is the latest signing for the Kentucky-based American Fight League. A source close to the 31-year-old told MMAjunkie.com that Lashley will be introduced as an AFL signee—perhaps the organization’s biggest to date—during tonight’s “Bulletproof” show at Phillips Arena in Atlanta. Rumors of Lashley’s possible transition into MMA heated up over the past month, but few expected such a high-profile figure to sign with an organization so new to the national scene. AFL officials declined to comment today, but one executive said some “major signings” will be announced at tonight’s show, which features a main event between AFL lightweight champ and former UFC fighter Diego Saraiva. Terms of Lashley’s contract aren’t known, but it’s expected to be a non-exclusive deal. Lashley, a two-time NAIA national wrestling champion while at Missouri Valley College, also won two armed-forces titles while serving in the U.S. Army. He signed with the WWE in 2003 and debuted with the organization in 2005. His character won titles in both the WWE and Extreme Championship Wrestling organizations. Lashley received some mainstream popularity when he was chosen to represent Donald Trump in a “Hair vs. Hair match” with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon in 2007. Lashley won the staged match, so McMahon was forced to shave his head. However, Lashley was released from his WWE contract earlier this year. Lashley, of course, won’t be the first WWE wrestler turned MMA fighter. Former WWE superstar Brock Lesnar signed with the UFC in 2007 and debuted with the organization in February. Lashley is unlikely to match Lesnar’s popularity in MMA, but like his fellow WWE alumnus, he’s likely to convert some pro-wrestling fans into MMA viewers. The AFL, a Kentucky-based organization born from the Caged Inferno promotion, has held three events to date. Its first arena show was held in March at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky. Tonight’s “Bulletproof” show (see our event preview) is the first-ever MMA event to take place in Phillips Arena, which is September’s rumored UFC 88 host venue. The AFL’s other recent signings include Saraiva, “The Ultimate Fighter 2” cast member Dan Christison, highly ranked featherweight Raphael Assuncao, UFC veteran Junior Assuncao, and highly touted prospect Douglas Lima.

Larry Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 anyway Donald Trump to partner with Affliction Donald Trump to partner with Affliction MMA for ‘Banned’ eventBy: MMAmania Millionaire real estate developer, casino boss and reality television star, Donald Trump, is set to announce his foray into mixed martial arts this Thursday, June 5, at a press conference at Trump Tower in New York, N.Y., at 12 p.m. ET. According to a press release issued today, “The Donald” will partner with the start up Affliction MMA promotion, which is set to pull the trigger on its debut show at the at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on July 19. No particulars were revealed at this time. Here’s a snip from Trump: “I have been a fan of professional sports since childhood, and I am particularly impressed by the athleticism, courage, and strength of these disciplined athletes. This particular sport resembles my business style of being fast paced, strategic, and aggressive … remembering to never give up. I am particularly excited to partner with Affliction and become a major player in promotion of MMA; the youngest and fastest growing sport to emerge in the last century.” Trump is the latest deep-pocketed businessmen, joining Mark Cuban and Calvin Ayre, to toss his hat into the MMA ring. He has a relationship with former UFC light heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz, who was a contestant on his most recent season of “The Apprentice.” In fact, Trump was in attendance at UFC 84: “Ill Will” to show his support for “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy.” Trump also hosted the New York press conference to announce the “Banned” pay-per-view (PPV) event, saying that the card was “great.” Stay tuned for more details on the partnership between Trump and Affliction. Affliction “Banned” will feature a main event fight between between former UFC heavyweight champion, Tim Sylvia, and the last man to hold the Pride FC heavyweight strap, Fedor Emelianenko. Superstars such as Josh Barnett, Pedro Rizzo, Paul Buentello, Aleksander Emelianenko, Matt Lindland, Renato “Babalu” Sobral, Ben Rothwell and Antonio Rogerio Nogueria, among others, will also be in action.
