By Charttopper For Lewis, who easily earned the Knockout of the Night honor, it was his first true immergence on the MFC stage after several past disappointing performances. But refocused and showing much more aggression, Lewis showed he was over his past issues and took a big step up the light heavyweight ladder. Also on the televised main card, former MFC light heavyweight champion Emanuel Newton (12-6-1) was looking to find his winning demeanor again but he failed to do any serious damage and lost the clinch war with hometowner Ryan Jimmo (12-1) who ran his winning streak to 12 with a unanimous decision. The news was better for Newton’s teammate, Jesse Juarez (12-5) who inflicted some heavy strikes in rare moments of ground-and-pound control while f...   [read the full post]

By Charttopper UFC light heavyweights Keith Jardine (14-6-1) and undefeated Ryan Bader (10-0) are rumored to be fighting at UFC 110 which will take place from the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, on Feb. 21, 2010. Both fighters have “tweeted” that agreements have been recieved, but UFC has not made an official announcement. The matchup should be a good one as Jardine will be looking to get back on track after losing his last two matches, his latest loss coming at the hands of Thiago Silva. Bader for his part will look to continue his win streak, which is currently at three(inside the octagon 10-0 overall).

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. Long have many, many MMA hardcore fans heralded Fedor Emelianenko as the worlds greatest fighter, but he’s never seemed to be able to get the popularity that many of his peers enjoy, especially in North America.

Pride will rip you off on your merchandising but the UFC would find someway to hook you up on merchandising deals.
