Everyone has been wondering when will Kimbo Slice fight again? Well we have an answer… Kimbo Slice will take on fellow The Ultimate Fighter Matt Mitrione. Kimbo Slice is coming off a win on the season finale of The Ultimate Fighter over Houston Alexander by unanimous decision. Matt Mitrione is coming off a knockout win over Marcus Jones.
The fight will take place at UFC 113 in Montreal. Also fighting at UFC 113 will be Lyoto Machida vs Mauricio Rua.
I am very excited for UFC 113. Should be a great night with some amazing fights. Hopefully Kimbo Slice will be ready to fight, with better endurance and a healthy knee. If this guy is healthy, he could be dangerous. If neither of these guys are healthy enough to push this fight, it will be a long fight with little excitement.

The first ever UFC lightweight champion, Jens Pulver, has probably fought his last MMA fight. Jens Pulver was submitted by Javier Vasquez in the first round Saturday night at WEC 47. Jens Pulver has now lost his last five fights.

“If you look down at this TapouT shirt, I just want to show you something about it. This is the old Punchout, the old Tyson, the vintage, the authentic… and it’s over.
The vintage, the authentic (pointing at himself).
I don’t know how many more times I can cry in front of all y’all. I love y’all way too much to keep putting you through this.
I’ll never say (I’m done), but I love you all way, way, way too much to put you through this again. You guys have made my life a miracle. I don’t make a lot of money doing this… you’re the only reason I’ve been doing this from day one.
My momma, she’s in the crowd. My son Karson, I love you. My daughter Madeline, I love you. My wife Kannika…
God dang it, I apologize, I didn’t get this W.
Dana White, you gave me that second chance, I apologize. You gave me my first chance, my third chance. You’ve made everything for me sir. People talk about Dana, he’s got a rough texture, but the one thing I love about him, you’ll never guess what he feels about you and in this world that’s pretty stand-up. I can’t say it enough, I love you guys very much.”

Michael Bisping, the Season 3 winner of The Ultimate Fighter, wants a rematch with Wanderlei.
“It was a close fight. Personally I think I won rounds one and two,” he told the media at the UFC 110 post-fight press conference. “The only things I felt I got hit with – I mean Wanderlei did a great job, full credit to him. Congratulations to him on winning the fight. Personally, apart from the guillotine and, you know, I got dropped in the third round, but apart from the guillotine in the second, I don’t think he had any offense come my way. I felt I won those two rounds.
I love when fighters say they would like a rematch, because they felt like they won the fight. It comes down to this. If you leave the fight in the judges hands, you just don’t know whats going to happen. Bisping should have finished the fight. If you don’t finish the fight, then you can’t complain about the judges decision. I think Bisping is great for the sport, and has really helped spread The UFC out of the USA, but the guy just rubs me the wrong way sometimes. Seems like he is always running his mouth, and then when he doesn’t win he blames everyone but himself.

Stephan Bonnar wants a rematch after his fight with Krzysztof Soszynski was stopped because an accidental head butt opened up a cut on Bonnar.
“I want to finish the fight man. It was only a few minutes left, right? And it was a head butt,” Bonnar told the media. “The worst part is – take a close up on this head – this cut is actually shaped like a ‘K’ for Krzysztof, so now I’ve got to walk around with a scar in the shape of a ’K’ on it, so I’m pissed off. Yeah, I’d love a rematch.”
Krzysztof Soszynski
Krzysztof Soszynski agreed with Bonnar.
“I agree with Stephan. If the UFC wants it and the fans want it, I think we should finish what we started, but it’s up to the UFC,” stated Soszynski.
This was a very frustrating ending to a great fight. You hate to see this happen to a fighter, when the fighter still has a chance. Stephan Bonnar is a fighter that is capable of coming back from any fight. I would like to see these guys go at it again.

If you are a fan of the UFC, you know who Nick Diaz is. And if you know who Nick Diaz is, you know the guy likes to smoke weed every once in a while.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission is against the use of Marijuana in its sports, and decided to use Nick Diaz as an example, so they overturned Diaz win over Gomi.

“Obviously it’s not a performance enhancing drug, so therefore trying to take the guy’s win away – all of these guys testing positive for steroids, and we’ll focus on Nick’s weed thing forever. Let’s talk about that forever. Oh, we did steroids, that’s fine. Let’s not talk about that. You did some cocaine or something,” continued the trainer. “People have this fetish for the weed thing or something.”

I have a few problems with this. Lets get this straight, I am not a Marijuana user, and never will be. Its a decision I made a long time ago, and I am sticking to it. That being said, I think The Nevada State Athletic Commission made the wrong decision by taking away Diaz win.
I know that just because Nick Diaz has a prescription to use Marijuana in California, doesn’t mean its okay for him to test positive for Marijuana in Nevada. But lets get real here, weed does not made you faster, stronger, and hit harder! The stuff does exactly the opposite, it calms you down and makes you lazy. So why take away the guys win because he tested positive for weed that he might have smoked two weeks before the fight? We need to be worried about steroids and performance enhancers, not stuff that makes you perform worse!

I am all about drug testing in sports that you put other athletes in danger. An example of this would be Nascar. You just can’t have a guy driving 200+ mph while high and drugged up. This is putting everyone in danger, including the fans and pit crew.
But UFC and Nascar are completely different. The only person that Diaz was putting in danger was himself, and himself only. If anything he is giving the other fighter a better chance of knocking him out.
I am sure a fighter does not get a fight taken away from him because he drank two weeks before the fight. I would bet that nothing would happen if he drank the night before! The reason is because he would have a hangover and if anything, people would think he is an idiot for drinking the night before a big fight.
Again, I do not think weed is a medicine that can fix everything, and I do not smoke Marijuana. But if a grown man decides he wants to smoke some weed a week or two before a fight, I don’t think his win should be taken away. Who knows, he probably smoked it in California, where it is legal, before he arrived in Nevada.

Michael Bisping claims he has worked on his defense a lot. His loss to Dan Henderson in July 2009 was a major setback for him, and has made him realize that he needs to improve his defense.
“I’ve been working a lot of my defense, obviously since the Dan Henderson fight,” he commented. “I had no choice. I got knocked out there, and I’m not in a rush for that to happen again. I’ve been working on my defense, and I’ve got no qualms standing with Wanderlei.”
I am not a big fan of Bisping, and I hope that Silva knocks him out. I loved seeing Bisping get knocked out by Henderson, it was a great night! I think the reason why I don’t like Bisping is the way he treated Matt Hamill on and off the show.

Randy Couture recently made a comment that he is more concerned about the fights, not a title shot.
“The titles have come, the titles have gone. All that’s great, it’s the icing on the cake, but if I spend a bunch of time worrying, focusing on those things, you get tight, I’m not having fun,” Couture stated. “I’m more worried about coveting those sorts of things instead of just doing what I love to do, which is compete.”
I agree with Couture, you can’t let yourself get caught up in who will get the next title shot. But at the same time, you know he is thinking about it. The whole point of fighting is to get a title shot, that is your goal and purpose of fighting.
I think Couture is great for the sport, and really grabs the attention of the older audience. If he can win a couple more fights, he deserves a title shot, and I hope Dana White will give it to him.

Nate Marquardt believes he will get another shot at Anderson Silva if he beats Chael Sonnen.
“From what I understand, if I win this fight, I will get the shot,” Marquardt said.
“I wasn’t sure when I heard that statement or read it or whatever, what exactly he meant. I assume he meant if he vacated or whatever and that would be a little disappointing to me,” stated Marquardt. “I want a rematch with him and it would mean the world to me to get a rematch with him.”
As of today, I think that Nate Marquardt has the best chance against Anderson Silva. Although I don’t think he can beat Silva, I think he will put up a good fight.

With a submission win over Raphael Assuncao, Faber will get a shot at Jose Aldo. This was confirmed by WEC General Manager Reed Harris. Faber only had good things to say about Jose Aldo.
“I’m hoping it will be fairly quick,” said Faber. “I didn’t take any injuries against Assuncao and I had a long layoff with my hands last time.”
“He’s an exciting fighter. It kind of reminds me of the Randy (Couture) and Vitor Belfort where the phenom with the hands and the crafty veteran,” commented “The California Kid.” “It’s funny that I’m the veteran at this point. I’m looking forward to a knockdown, drag-out with two exciting guys and hopefully it will happen soon.”
Reed Harris also added that Faber vs Aldo could headline the WEC’s first pay-per-view. No date or venue has been set.
