Tito Ortiz wants to reform Team Punishment

I have some really, really good guys. I’m really focusing right now on getting back to where I was four years ago, four or five years ago when we had Rampage (Quinton Jackson) and everybody else, Ricco Rodriguez and everybody together

I’m going to do it again. Ricco is actually training with me now. I’ve got Mark Munoz from Sacramento training with me right now. I’ve got Carlo Prater from Texas who is training with me now. I’m going to start focusing on this. I’m going to start doing it. I really feel like I’m getting back to where I was before and surrounding myself with great people, great fighters. I’m going to do this.

Tito said this in an interview with MMAWeekly Radio.

New TUF 8 Coaches Ready

The coaches for The Ultimate Fighter season 8 is ready and just announced. It will be the heavyweights Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir.

I dont know how Mir will do but Minotauro is very used to beeing a trainer, and the tuf contestans will definitive take use of his great skill of brazilian jiu jitsu.

After the season is done i guess the trainers will battle it out for the UFC heavyweight belt.

Martin Kampmann back in Ufc 85

The Danish fighter Martin Kampmann will finally enter the octagon again in June, ufc 85.

Kampmann last fought in march 07, where he submitted the heavy hitter Drew Mcfedries. He was supposed to take on Rich Franklin in Ufc 72, but he injured his knee and has been out ever since.

But now, he is good to go again, and he will take on Jorge Rivera in Ufc 85.

We look forward to see the dane again!

Leben is out

Chris Leben was supposed to fight Michael Bisping at Ufc 85 - That would’ve made a hell of a fight, but sadly it seems like its not gonna happen. Chris Leben was sentenced to 35 days in jail due to an old DUI issue.

That leaves him with not enough training time for the fight wick is June 7th.

There has been a replacement, Jason ‘Dooms’ Day will take over for Leben. Jason Day last fought in Ufc 83 where he TKO’d Alan Belcher.

Goulet turns down ufc 85 fight

The Canadian Jonathan Goulet was supposed to fight the undefeated brit Paul Kelly at Ufc 85 in London, June.

He has now turned down the fight and has given the reason he didnt have enough time to train for it. Goulet last time fought in Ufc 83 in Canada where he defeated the japanese fighter Kuniyoshi Hironaka.

Well, we look forward to see the canadian fighter some other time down the line, hope Paul kelly gets a replacement fight we can look forward to.

UFC 85

Matt Hughes and Michael Bisping saves the day.

When Chuck ‘The iceman’ Liddell had to pull out of the fightcard, there were many british ufc fans that was sad about it.

But, Dana called his friend Matt Hughes and asked him to take a fight in London, and he said yes to fight Thiago Alves - If Thiago is able to win this one, he is most likely next in line for the title shot after Jon Fitch.

Also, a great matchup Homeboy Bisping Vs. Leben - two standup fighters, theres most def. a knockout here.

Jeremy Horn is BACK!

When Thales Leites had to pull out of the match against Nate ‘The Great’ Marquardt because of a broken hand - Jeremy Horn stepped up to the plate and became a great replacement.

They are scheduled to fight at UFC 81, February the second.

This will be a great middleweight matchup.

TUF 6 Winner

No big surprises really, the winner of The Ultimate Fighter season 6 is Mac Danzig.

Tommy Speer was overwhelmed by Mac’s technique. It went quickly to the ground where Tommy was submitted by a rear naked choke in the first round.

Other notable fights was Warmachine against J-Rock wich really was a war - it went back and forth till’ finally Warmachine got a TKO over Rollins. Maybe a fight of the night.
