Nick Diaz not fighting for less than $500K

Bellator middleweight champ Alexander Shlemenko is moving up in weight to fight Tito Ortiz on their upcoming May 17th PPV.
Tyrone Spong broke his right leg in the first round of his rematch against Gokhan Saki @ the Light Heavyweight World Championship Tournament Final at Glory 15 Saturday in Istanbul, Turkey.
Spong's next MMA bout, for WSOF 11 on July 5, will be canceled.
That Tito vs Schlemenko fight should be interesting. Never been a Tito fan, but I dislike Russians even more than him so I'll be pulling for Tito in that one.
Ronda Rousey will defend her UFC title @ UFC 175 in Las Vegas versus Alexis Davis.
ronda is a bad ass I don't ever see her losing in her carrer but I have been proved wrong before I guess. I just think she is def the most talented chick to come on to the ufc
I do agree she is a bad ass and she fights with a chip on her shoulder and it seems that who ever she steps in the ring with that she has way more heart and determination then they do but that chick fighter Cyborg is also one bas ass chick and if they ever fight it will be a great fight!...I would say its probably a 50/50 coin flip on who would win that fightQuote:

Tito needs his crying whining AZZ beat. Tito doesn't represent the USA he's out for himself. Needs a good Ruzzkie Beat down Krazy Ivan Style.

UFC on FOX 11 in Tweets: Pros react to Werdum vs. Browne, Cerrone vs. Barboza, more - MMA Fighting
If you don't know by now, it's never a good idea to count out Fabricio Werdum. The man who dethroned Fedor Emelianenko pulled off yet another upset on Saturday night, outclassing Travis Browne to secure a lopsided unanimous decision win as a two-to-one underdog in UFC on FOX 11's main event.
While Werdum was assumed to be the better grappler of the two, it was actually the striking game that carried the Brazilian to victory. Werdum asserted his jab from the opening bell, then proceeded to dismantle Browne in a big way, battering the Hawaiian with an array of heavy punches and kicks to earn himself a date with destiny against UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez later this year in Mexico.
Of course, Werdum will be counted out there too (a sentiment a few of our pros already took the liberty of starting below). But that, as they say, is why they play the games -- because as we learned on June 26, 2010, anything can happen in this weird, wonderful sport.

mayweather i heard was really really great in the sport
Dana White stated that he believed headlining heavyweight Travis Browne had broken his hand and possibly injured a rib in his loss to Fabricio Werdum.
Neither injury was mentioned in the list of medical suspensions released by the AC, though Browne still got a 90-day suspension for a broken nose and a cut over his right eye.
they have to protect the players for better or for worse
What do you all think about Fighters pay in MMA? I mean they are vastly under paid. a guy trains for 3 months can make as little as 8,500. manager, gym expense, trainer cost and before you know it they are suffering badly. Dana White is always saying go out earn your pay with performance, but he's acting as if he could train like they do commit what they to work a part time job even some do to help provide for their family. To pretend they aren't giving their best effort is laughable and I am like just because its not a great finish or something doesn't mean someone didn't give it their all. Even the top end is small compared to other sports. like their stars Anderson Silva, and such would make like 2 million a fight. I get tired of people saying but they get sponsors.....Every sport gets sponsors I bet Lebron has a few 7 figure sponsorship deals along with his massive 18 million a yr contract......oh also mayweather gets like 40 million a fight. the UFC is suppose to be more popular then boxing right? so they should have the money to at least make it possible for ppl to make 75K a yr as their average pay right?
It's ridiculous, these athletes put life and long term health on the line every fight. Unfortunately the UFC has a monopoly. The fighters need to form a union just like all other major professional sports organizations. The big name top tier fighters need to spearhead a fighter union but they seem reluctant to do so because they are making good money already. Fighters that make peanuts can't do it because the UFC will tell them to GTFO. Hopefully the WSOF can gain ground on the UFC with nationally televised cards and create some healthy competition. One of my teammates is going to fight @ the WSOF card in June and he will only make 500$ to show and 500$ to win. If he puts together a win streak he has the potential to make good money or move on to the UFC.Quote:

UFC 172: Jones vs. Teixeira Preview and Predictions | The MMA Corner
The UFC heads into Baltimore Arena with perhaps the greatest light heavyweight champion in MMA history atop the event card. UFC champ Jon Jones will put his light heavyweight title on the line against dangerous Brazilian striker Glover Teixeira.
Fighting out of the same gym as UFC Hall of Famer Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell, Teixeira will look to use his thunderous knockout power to dethrone Jones. Teixeira comes into the fight riding a 20-fight winning streak. Jones, meanwhile, will look to make his sixth straight title defense.
The evening’s co-main event marks the return of Anthony “Rumble” Johnson to the Octagon. Johnson has won all six of his bouts since being released by the promotion after UFC 142. That run includes a win over former UFC heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski and devastating knockouts of Jake Rosholt and Mike Kyle. Welcoming Rumble back to the UFC will be former NCAA Division I wrestling champ Phil Davis. “Mr. Wonderful” is coming off the biggest win of his career against former UFC champion Lyoto Machida, but their bout was mired in controversy. Davis hasn’t been in the Octagon since. Now, he will look to stamp his own claim as a worthy title contender at the expense of the returning Johnson.
Also on the main card is a pivotal middleweight battle between former Strikeforce champ Luke Rockhold and Tim Boetsch. Jim Miller was originally scheduled to face Bobby Green, but he will now fight Yancy Medeiros. And Max Holloway faces Andre Fili in a battle of featherweight prospects.
The prelims feature a slew of known fighters, including Takanori Gomi, former TUF competitor Jessamyn Duke and Joe Ellenberger, who makes his much-anticipated UFC debut. Also, Joseph Benavidez will face Tim Elliott in a clash of top-10 featherweights to cap off the prelim portion of UFC 172.
The action kicks off at 7 p.m. ET on UFC Fight Pass with two preliminary card bouts. Then, it’s off to Fox Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET for the remainder of the prelims. The main card airs live on pay-per-view beginning at 10 p.m. ET.
The MMA Corner’s Rob Tatum, RJ Gardner and Kyle Symes break down the entire fight card in this edition of the Round Table.
theres a guy up here I was going to sponser .he's from the rez but I don't think he takes his training serious enough always getting hammered. he's a badass in the bar arena but not sure if I want to deal with this guy.
Denis Siver fined $19,800 suspended 9 months for positive drug test
nine months seems kind of harsh for that
I put a bet on Glover Teixeira @ +337 vs Jon Jones. Glover at that big of an underdog I can't pass up.
A planned bout between top flyweights Ian McCall and Brad Pickett fell apart shortly before the UFC's trip to london. But now, with Pickett coming off a win, the UFC is rebooking the matchup for their upcoming Dublin Fight Night.
