By Chart Topper MMA for the longest time seemed like the domain of the trash talking, hype selling superstar, but a new breed of fighter seems to be emerging, one based more on talent, and sold less on his or her words. Names like GSP, Anderson Silva, and Machida come to mind to name a few, a select group of fighters who rarely if ever bash their opponents and prefer to settle matters in the ring. Fedor Emelianenko is the flagship of that group in this aspect, not only choosing to never bash an opponent but rather giving them respect whenever possible. “MMA is not dogs fighting in a cage,” Emelianenko said. “This is a great sport. I like to meet my opponent and show that, first of all, I respect him as a sportsman.” Opinion.   [read the full post]

By Chart Topper The solid ratings mean Strikeforce should return to the CBS airwaves in early 2010. Strikeforce and CBS executives were mum on future plans last week during pre-event festivities for “Fedor vs. Rogers.” “Those are decisions that will be made next week once we’ve had a chance … to look at the numbers,” Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). Saturday nights CBS broadcast of the “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers” event netted a viewer high of 5.46 million viewers during the main event bout between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers.

By Chart Topper With the first collaboration between Strikeforce, M-1 Global, and CBS finished, one has to think that the respective companies are quite happy with the end results. Here’s our take on the night, in our usual column we call “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” Fedor continues to speak(through a translator mind you) with a humility that many other MMA fighters could learn for. Fedor deserves some respect just for his consummate professionalism, and his lack of trash talk. The five round fight between Jake Shields and Mayhem Miller, while a grappling exercise, was tedious and seemed at times to stall considerably. Despite the solid ground skills of both fighters, the hold downs by Shields seemed to drag on. Shields gained the victory, but certai...   [read the full post]
