Bellator 53: Semifinals Begin In Welterweight Tournament

Posted 10/7/11 3:30 pm EST by in MMA, TV, Video

Luis Santos has 57 fights in the past 11 years, often fighting twice a month. His first three professional fights were on the same night and he won them all. Obviously, this was before the athletic-commission, doctor-at-ringside MMA we know now. "Sapo" is from the anything-goes days in Brazil where men were men, and head butts, punches to the spine and kicks to the balls were legal. We prefer not to know more of his personal history because "City of God" gave us nightmares. For Bellator 53, live this Saturday, Oct. 8 10/9c on MTV2, Sapo must summon his entire history of violence to defeat Ben Saunders on his road to the $100k welterweight tournament prize.

"Killa B" Saunders is a strong, tall, skinny striker--good enough to beat all but the very top tier of welterweights in the UFC. At 28 years old, his formative years were spent watching the comparatively gentlemanly bouts of modern MMA. He's fought about once every six months for seven years, trains at American Top Team, drinks protein shakes and goes to bed early in an air-conditioned suburban Florida home. Santos vs. Saunders just feels like a great "Rocky"-esque matchup.

Chael Sonnen Is The New Ultimate Warrior

Posted 10/7/11 12:00 pm EST by in Celebs, Infographic, MMA, Most Popular

Which two fighters beat Anderson Silva for more than one round in the UFC, plead guilty to money-laundering charges and were banned for a year from fighting for doping.

Sorry, trick question. There is only one. The undisputed king of "Is this guy joking or insane?" Mr. Chael Sonnen. Unfortunately, most of the promos for Sonnen's UFC 136 fight against Brian Stann have been, "Nice guy, we're friends, we're professionals, blah blah." Luckily, you can still get him going on Silva, like this gem from last week: "You tell Anderson Silva I'm coming over and I'm kicking down his back door and patting his little lady on the ass and I'm telling her to make me a steak, medium-rare just how I like it."

Sonnen seems like a personality from '80s pro-wrestling. In fact, if you watch Ultimate Warrior's promotional videos, the two seem oddly similar. Is Sonnen this generation's Warrior? We believe the rigorously researched, peer-reviewed Venn diagram above answers that question insanely well.

Gray Maynard Has Unfinished Business At UFC 136

Posted 10/6/11 5:00 pm EST by in MMA, Sports

Gray Maynard has a love-hate relationship with MMA judges. Over his five-year career, judges showered him with decisions as he amassed a 10-0 record. But on New Year's Day 2011, the judges turned their backs on him. After pummeling poor Frankie Edgar into dust for the first five minutes of their UFC lightweight title fight, Edgar somehow survived and earned a questionable draw. Clearly unhappy with the decision, "The Bully" will have five rounds this Saturday, October 8th, to prove once again that he's a champion.

"I still think I won the fight back in January," the 32-year-old sneers as he prepares to face Edgar a third time on October 8th in Houston at UFC 136. "But the three people that counted, they didn't."

Maynard's nickname, "The Bully," started out as a joke and comes from his likeness to the bull terrier he rescued several years ago. Asked if his intensity switch has a snooze button, he says, “I'm a nice guy." The former Michigan State wrestling standout promises that he'll only intimidate the hell out of you when it's time to fight. The man who owns a nine-second knockout assures that he won't rip your face off if you ask for an autograph while he's shopping at Wal-Mart.

'Bellator' 52 Recap: The Big Guns Pounded It Out

Posted 10/3/11 1:00 pm EST by in MMA, Sports, TV

Big. Ass. Mo-fos. Bellator’s heavyweight tournament quarterfinals happened on Saturday night, resulting in one awesome slobber-knocker, one sweet KO and one really nice choke.

Mark Holata vs. Ron Sparks

From the chin up, Mark Holata's pompadour makes him looks like he's auditioning for John Travolta's part in the remake of "Grease." Below the chin, his jacked shoulders and the tendons bursting from his neck make him scarier than John Travolta in "Battlefield Earth." Ron Sparks is flabby in that "cute Fedor Emelianenko way" that lulls jacked-up dudes like Holata to sleep.... Oh, wait, sorry, that's Sparks' pinpoint left hook landing square on Holata's jaw in the mid-first round. Dang. The brain in that pompadour-skull switched off as Holata fell to the canvas, well before Sparks went in with the angry hammer fists. The ref mercifully dove in and saved Holata's face from being turned to ground chuck.

Sparks defeated Holata by KO (1:24 of Round 1)

'Bellator' 51 Proves Good Things Come In Small Packages

Posted 9/26/11 12:30 pm EST by in MMA, Sports, TV, Video

The saying "good things come in small package" was in full effect Saturday night as the lightest weight class in "Bellator Fighting Championships" took to the cage to open their own tournament. Live on MTV2 at the Canton Memorial Civic Center in Canton, Ohio, Bellator 51 hosted the four quarterfinals’ fights of the BFC bantamweight tourney. The participants of these caged fisticuffs are fighting for a $100,000 check and to get a crack at the first BFC bantamweight champion Zach Makovsky. In the shadow of the NFL Hall of Fame, these 135 pounders put on two well-fought decisions and two hair-raising knockouts. Let’s get a recap of these frenzied free-for-alls.

Joe Warren And Alexis Vila Headline Bellator's Bantamweight Opening Round

Posted 9/23/11 5:00 pm EST by in MMA, Sports, TV, Video

A pair of older fighters with roots in wrestling top the Bellator 51 fight card tomorrow night in Canton, Ohio. Thirty-four year-old Joe Warren (pictured) "The Baddest Man on the Planet" (7-1) will face off against 40-year-old Alex "The Exorcist" Vila (9-0) in the bantamweight tourney opening round of Bellator Fighting Championships. The rest of the card includes other bantamweight tourney openers Wilson Reis vs. Eduardo Dantas, Ed West vs. Luiz Nogueira, and Marcos Galvao vs. Chase Beebe.

But the most intriguing matchup is Warren against Vila. Warren, Bellator's current featherweight champion, is seeking to become the first MMA fighter to simultaneously hold belts in two divisions for a nationally televised U.S. promotion. The first man who will attempt to stop him, Vila, has in his trophy case an award that Warren used to covet: an Olympic wrestling medal. Vila won a bronze in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Vila will certainly have his hands full--Warren added Muay Thai to his repertoire this past summer.
