Arum extends the olive branch to UFC [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 11, 2010, 2:30 pm] Top Rank boxing chief Bob Arum has plenty of people in his crosshairs this week he doesn't need to unload on prior enemies like UFC president Dana White and owner Lorenzo Fertitta. The Las Vegas Sun reports that both of the UFC head honchos will be amongst the 45,000 to take in the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey fight in Dallas at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday.Arum even said the boys are actually pitching the fight to the MMA fans.Top Rank chief Bob Arum made note of a pair of startling names on the guest list for Saturday’s fight card: UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta and the organization’s president, Dana White. As Arum said, the two are encouraging UFC fans to buy into the fight’s pay-per-view package. The Sun's John Katsilometes pointed out accurately that Arum has been a big proponent of mixed martial arts. An impressive diplomatic move considering Arum once compared UFC fights to gay erotica (as a means of criticism, not praise, mind you). "We want to thank Dana and Lorenzo for crossing sports to help promote this fight," Arum said, as [Cowboys owner Jerry] Jones, the guy who helped make that unlikely visit happen, nodded from the dais.Have things cooled with Arum v. UFC or is he just preoccupied with everyone else he hates? During yesterday's prefight press conference, he did manage to slam Las Vegas, casinos and Golden Boy Promotions, saying "[expletive] Golden Boy." On the anniversary of his death, fighers honor Tapout's Mask [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 11, 2010, 1:46 pm] A year ago today, Charles "Mask" Lewis, one of Tapout's founders, was killed in a car accident. Fighters have taken to Twitter and their personal websites to remember the man who helped them with their careers. Kenny Florian remembered Mask on Twitter, while Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone did a post filled with pictures on his site. Members of the fight world still remember the contribution he and Tapout made to the growth of MMA. Dan "Punkass" Caldwell, a member of the Tapout crew said: I feel like I learned so much in that period of time with him. I just want to use that experience and use that knowledge to go out there and affect people like he would have wanted ... That's what his intentions were when he dealt with people. It was always about affecting that person and leaving them with a positive feeling. Even if you only met someone for a minute. In the year since his death, Lewis has been remembered by the WEC, which has "Mask" written on their cages, and the UFC, who inducted Mask into the Hall of Fame in the summer of 2009.

Jiu-jitsu helps Mass. kids deal with cancer, bullying [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 11, 2010, 11:28 am] Two brothers in Massachusetts brought home medals from the New England North American Grappling Association tournament. In itself, that's not noteworthy, until you learn that one of the brothers is a cancer survivor, and the other has dealt with bullying. “The medals were a great thrill for all of us,” said their mother, Rhonda Callum-King. She said that training in jiu-jitsu and Brazilian wrestling/grappling with Master Doug MacDonald, “has made the boys stronger and tougher.”Callum-King said wrestling is helping both of her boys overcome challenges: Rory with his leukemia, and Connor with bullying.Rory was diagnosed with cancer when he just two years old. A bone marrow transplant from his brother Connor was successful, Rory still faces health problems that stem from his bout with cancer. Connor faced bullies at school.But both have found a haven in jiu-jitsu and grappling, and found strength to get through their problems.Master Doug MacDonald, who has been teaching martial arts in Hudson for 30 years, said he is very pleased with both boys’ performance. “Classes are definitely helping them to build strength, while teaching them self-discipline and perseverance,” he said. Any fighter will tell you about the importance of Brazilian jiu-jitsu in their fight game. But in focusing on the top flight fighters and only how their jiu-jitsu helps them win, we forget all that jiu-jitsu teaches the children who are learning it every day. Thanks to the Underground The world according to Hardy hits U.S. shores [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 10, 2010, 3:40 pm] It's 17 days out from his clash against Georges St. Pierre at UFC 111 and the Dan Hardy hype machine has arrived in the New York area. Hardy posted his first stateside video blog. There's not a whole lot to it aside from cup shopping, some awful teeth and revealing the nugget that he'll be spending some time on Long Island, the home of Matt Serra, the last guy to take out GSP.We're hoping Hardy can find the manufacturer of Adam Lambert's spiked cup. That would be a real weapon come fight night! In a previous blog at DanHardyMMA.com, Hardy tried to clear up a couple of things Cagewriter has blogged about in the past few weeks. One was Hardy tattoo-gate. The Brit lost his gut tattoo on several posters:But another item I've read online I'd like to clear up is why my stomach tattoo has been Photoshopped off the official UFC 111 poster. Maybe I am the wrong guy to moan about getting Photoshopped, but I'm not really very happy about it and don't understand the reason behind it at all. I've been told the people who designed the poster felt my tattoo would be "too distracting". Well, I'm very happy with my tattoo. Makes no sense they airbrushed it out. But some of the guys at the gym have found it very amusing, so at least they got a laugh out of it. Hardy found it funny that some message board posters tried to get to the story behind the story. Some of the theories out there as to why it was removed were very funny. I had no idea MMA fans were such hardcore conspiracy theorists. If they ever do another series of the "X-Files", the producers should look no further than the MMA fan forums for their writing team.Through his P.R. minions Hardy, also said his last wrestling singlet blog was not attempt to disparage GSP. It was only intended to mock on his own wrestling abilities.Check out the day 2 vlog. Serra, Hardy and Ray Longo should provide some blog magic. Television ratings low for WEC 47 [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 10, 2010, 2:15 pm] Despite a fight card that had highlight knockouts, quick submissions, a championship belt changing hands and lots of blood, ratings for the WEC 47 broadcast on Versus were low. According to MMA Junkie, the fights drew a 0.46 share and 373,000 viewers. In comparison, WEC 46, which featured Urijah Faber in his first bout back since injuring both hands in a fight with Mike Brown and a title unification bout between Ben Henderson and Jamie Varner, drew 640,000 viewers. In Columbus, the fight card was a success. After strong walk-up and day before sales, 8,345 people filled Nationwide Arena, the WEC's fifth largest crowd ever. So what is the problem? Versus being pulled off DirecTV is partly to blame, but Versus was off DirecTV in January when WEC 46 pulled in such strong numbers. Was it the line-up? Though Dominick Cruz and Brian Bowles, the card's headliners, are not the most well-known fighters, Jens Pulver and Miguel Torres were both on the card. Regardless of the fact that they both lost, they're usually both popular enough to get people to watch. The good news is that if you didn't tune in, you still have a chance to see Scott Jorgensen's foot-dangling submission, Cruz taking the bantamweight belt from Bowles and Torres' head getting busted open by Joseph Benavidez's elbow. WEC 47 is replaying on Versus tonight at 9 p.m. ET.In the meantime, we want to know. Did you watch WEC 47? Why or why not? Take our poll and tell us in the comments. Ross Pearson interview: Momma's boy not hanging with golddiggers [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 10, 2010, 1:15 pm] Fighting your way up the lightweight ladder in the UFC is a rough go and we're just talking about the battles in training and the Octagon. Lightweight prospect Ross Pearson learned a valuable lesson recently about his new found fame. The winner of season nine of "The Ultimate Fighter" discovered that he's much more attractive now that he's got a guaranteed deal with the UFCl. Pearson, 25, is a low frills guy who still lives at his parent's house in Sunderlund, U.K. So when his girlfriend, around the time he won TUF 9, told him she was quitting her job so he could support her, he kicked her to the curb (5:21 mark). Pearson is facing veteran Dennis Siver in Charlotte on Mar. 31. It should provide fireworks. Siver (14-6, 4-3 UFC) is a very solid striker who's already picked up two knockout of the night bonuses. Pearson's striking looked dynamite in his win over Aaron Riley. After TUF 9, Cagewriter wrote that the show produced very little to get excited about. We were wrong. It's becoming more clear that Pearson and Andre Winner simply nullified one another in the TUF 9 Finale. They have both shown good standup skills in their fights since. We'll probably find out by the end of 2010 if either one really has a shot at reaching the top 10 at 155 pounds. Pearson interview: Momma's boy not hanging with golddiggers [Yahoo!

Sports: Blogs: March 10, 2010, 11:35 am] Cagewriter is rolling out a new feature with Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole several times each week. With the news of Kimbo Slice-Matt Mitrione remaining on May 8 at UFC 113, it leaves plenty of question about Ultimate Fight Night 22 on Apr. 17. There were rumors about newly signed boxer James Toney faces Kimbo. That idea fell through and so did a proposed fight between Mike Swick and Matt Serra. Now what? UFC Primetime: St. Pierre-Hardy starts tonight on Spike [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 10, 2010, 9:59 am] The UFC and Spike are revisiting their popular "Primetime" series to hype up UFC 111, coming up Saturday, Mar. 27. In the short sneak preview that was released on Youtube, we learn that Georges St. Pierre can jump really, really high. The last time the UFC and Spike did "Primetime," it was for St. Pierre's fight with B.J. Penn at UFC 94. Will any training regimen that Hardy does be as cool as Penn running the rock underwater? Probably not, though we may get to see Hardy work on his wrestling in the required uniform. Hilarity will ensue. Tune in tonight at 10 p.m. ET on Spike. Gerald Harris, a fighter and a prankster [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 9, 2010, 3:15 pm] Before heading home from work, take a second and listen to UFC fighter Gerald Harris prank call Pat Barry and "King" Mo Lawal while they were on MMA Scraps radio.Pat Barry is quite fond of kicks. In fact, when he stopped by our WEC 47 chat last week, Barry said that his favorite submission was to kick people in the head until they submitted. That makes Gerald's line of questioning perfect: "If you gonna fight somebody, you gotta stand up and punch 'em in the face and fight him like a man ... Ya ever see somebody get kicked in the leg in football? NO." Thanks to Cage Potato Create-a-Caption: I'm the Mad Hatter! No, I'm the Mad Hatter [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 9, 2010, 1:50 pm] In Columbus this past weekend, MMA legend Don Frye met up with MMA everywhereman Shonie Carter. They both were wearing awesome hats, so who would win the hat off? Take a shot at a caption in the comment sections, and read on for winners of our last Create-a-Caption that was so long ago.

Sports: Blogs: March 9, 2010, 10:17 am] Cofield pointed out a striking resemblance between a fighter and baseball player: WEC lightweight Anthony Njokuani and Chicago Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano. Both are sluggers, and considering how many knockouts of the night that Njokuani has won, both are capable of knocking it out of the park. Soriano's next meaningful battle comes on Opening Day, April 5 in Atlanta while Njokuani's is on the WEC pay-per-view against Shane Roller. Have a suggestion for lookalikes? Send it here. Did Coker tab White for Bully Beatdown 3? [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 9, 2010, 9:10 am] Jason "Mayhem Miller is a big Twitter guy so he's been sending out message about the upcoming season of "Bully Beatdown." The first two seasons did well so that MTV is rolling out another set of shows and Miller was asking for followers on Twitter to send in suggestions about their local bullies. After a quick scan of the answers on Monday, it looks like Mayhem and MTV hit the jackpot. Dammit! Why couldn't that be @cokersf, the real Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker? We got duped but it was a great line by @fakecokersf. The reference is to UFC president Dana White pulling out the big guns and counterprogamming Coker's Apr. 17 CBS/Strikeforce show in Nashville with his own Spike card, Ultimate Fight Night 22. Even worse it's less than three miles away in Nashville!The real Scott Coker better be on the lookout for the fake. He may get passed in Twitter followers if he doesn't start sending out some tweets. The talk is that Coker already forgot his password. This Brit isn't coming: Writer says dump Toney [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 9, 2010, 7:55 am] The reaction on the James Toney signing has been mixed in the United States. Many of think, it's a good promotional move and if matched correctly Toney has a shot to do a little damage. Matched incorrectly, against a Randy Couture, and the old boxer may get destroyed and embarrassed because of a lack of takedown defense and grappling skills. Gareth A. Davies, who covers MMA for the U.K.'s Telegraph and serves as an insider on ESPN.com's MMA Live hates the Toney signing across the board. I thought it was ridiculous then, I still think so. Toney is out of shape, has no MMA experience, and is two steps down from the signing of Kimbo Slice last year. Yes, Slice drew viewing figures, but don’t expect him to be anywhere on the landscape 12 months from now. A strong take by Davies. The problem is that he contradicts himself by describing the exact scenario that makes Toney intriguing and one that will open lines of debate for months. Toney, 41, has a 72-6-3 (2 no contests) record that includes 44 wins by knockout. I reckon they’ll look to match him with the likes of Randy Couture…trouble is he could knock Couture out.Why is that trouble? It makes for a great promotion. Sounds like our buddy is Gareth is so much of an MMA convert, that he's now interested in protecting the sport. Come on G! The discussion in the Telegraph's comment section backs up why the UFC rolled the dice on Toney. Commenter Adabesi:With the money going out of boxing it is only a matter of time before a boxer goes into MMA and becomes a champion. They have great hands and chins which is something almost everyone in MMA doesn’t have. Signing Toney just opens up the gates for the other boxers to come into MMA and it is a great move by the UFC. We have been asking the question of what will happen when a great boxer gets in the ring since Royce first won UFC 1, it is time to start finding out the answer. Frankwongschippy:Could’nt agree more with you on T The masses want Canseco versus Walker: This website says so [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 8, 2010, 5:15 pm] See that sinking boat? With zero wind in its sails, it's the S.S. Jose Canseco appears to be going under. The fight Canseco wants against Herschel Walker is losing steam by the day. One wonders what Canseco can do to force the collective hands of Walker and Strikeforce. Maybe this new website -- cansecovswalker.com -- featuring Canseco's MMA debut against Hong Man Choi will convince people. There is a petition on the site. Please sign it.We're guessing Jake Shields won't be signing the petition. Over the weekend, Shields trashed Canseco on MMAWeekly Radio."I heard he was out there with Cesar, but personally I’m not a big fan of his. I don’t want to knock anything that Cesar and my camp has done, but I don’t really want to have anything to do with Jose," Shields told MMAWeekly Radio. "I don’t really want to help the guy. I haven’t met the guy yet, but seeing his track record, I don’t really want to have anything to do with him. He’s not someone I want in my life. I don’t want to help a guy out who has constantly screwed everyone over who has been close to him."On second thought maybe Shields will sign the petition. "I like Hershel Walker and I’d like to see Hershel kick his [expletive], but if he was fighting under my team that would make me feel a little weird, so I don’t know how I feel about that. Being a friend and fan of Hershel and having a guy that I think is kind of a scumbag coming to my gym... I guess that’s Cesar’s decision. I don’t want to knock his decision, but I certainly wouldn’t let him come into my gym."Canseco tweeted a photo of himself, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker and matchmaker Rich Chou having lunch a few weeks ago. But no news on the possible fight has leaked since. Why was Rosholt cut? Former UFC middleweight prospect wins in Tulsa [Yahoo! Sports: Blogs: March 8, 2010, 3:35 pm] Maybe it'll be a short stay in the minors for Jake Rosholt. Only Dana White and Joe Silva know. In a division short on top level young prospects, Rosholt was booted by the UFC after just three fights. He suffered both losses via submission against Dan Miller and Kendall Grove but it seemed kind of ridiculous to cut the 27-year-old Rosholt, a three-time NCAA wrestling champion. Rosholt went back to his home state this weekend and dominated someone named Rudy Lindsey. He used his wrestling to score the takedown and mauled Lindsey on the ground before the downed fighter gave his back. Rosholt scored the win at 2:37 of the first via rear naked choke (2:00 mark) in a 195-pound fight. Lindsey, a former heavyweight, has also lost to UFC veterans Tim Boetsch and Mike Wessel. No one here is saying Rosholt could challenge for the middleweight title anytime soon but can you name one UFC middleweight currently on the roster, under 30 years old, who whets the appetite? Grove, Alan Belcher, Tom Lawlor, C.B. Dolloway, Rousimar Palhares and Goran Reljic are the top guys we could come up with. As far as a return to the UFC, it may be a while for Rosholt as the UFC pushes the crop that comes out of the 28-fighter field on season 11 of "The Ultimate Fighter." Would the UFC risk matching any of those prospects against a guy like Rosholt in late 2010? He is smart training in Las Vegas right under the nose of White and the UFC offices. If the promotion needs late replacement maybe he gets his shot. The fights from XFL's March Badness can be seen at Purefight.org.Tip via UltMMA Why was Rosholt cut?

Sports: Blogs: March 8, 2010, 2:20 pm] Jens Pulver said that he was likely done fighting on Saturday night. His emotional speech didn't leave a dry eye in Nationwide Arena. The man that helped build the sport, especially at the lighter weights, said thank you to the 8,345 in attendance and the viewers watching at home. His touching show of appreciation moved both fighters and media to say thank you back to "L'il Evil." Thomas Gerbasi of UFC.com wrote a moving tribute: For me and so many others, Jens Pulver will always be the kid knocking out John Lewis, defeating BJ Penn, and going to war with Takanori Gomi. He is a pioneer for the lighter weight classes in mixed martial arts, an inspiration to a generation of fighters 155 pounds and below, and that’s just based on what he did in competition.Outside the cage or ring, Pulver continues to inspire, and will do so long after his gloves are hung up. Surviving what he has over the years is impressive enough; being open and talking about it lifts it to a new level, and despite all the great things he’s done as a fighter that may be his greatest legacy.So for us on the other side of the cage, I think I can speak for all my colleagues in saying that it’s been an honor to cover Jens Pulver all these years. There hasn’t been one like him in this sport, and probably never will be again.Thanks Lil’ Evil. -Javier Vazquez, Pulver's opponent on Saturday night, found his win to be bittersweet:I'm not one of those guys that's a bully or anything. I mean, I'm glad I won, but I didn't want to hurt him either. I don't want to hurt anybody, so it was very bittersweet ... For many, many years, I was the biggest Jens Pulver fan. Coming up through the ranks, that was the pinnacle of where I wanted to be. Bloody Elbow's Leland Rolling pointed out that Pulver leaving the door cracked open to fighting again ensures that he will leave on his own terms.Nobody can deny that Jens Pulver is one of the classiest individuals in any sport today.
