Silva v Sonnen 2

Anderson Silva fired up before UFC 148

You didn't have to understand anything UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva said during a media conference call Monday to promote UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen 2 to be excited. "The Spider" threw out some comments on his opponent, Chael Sonnen, like no one has heard before.

Silva-Sonnen will be the main event for the July 7 event from Las Vegas. It will be held along with the UFC Fan Expo, making it one of the biggest weekends in MMA.

After leaving Sonnen to promote the fight and push for it for the past two years since they first fought, it was Silva who took the bull by the horn and got the attention of all on the call.

"Chael is a criminal. He's been convicted of crimes and he doesn't deserve to be in the Octagon," Silva said. "When the times comes and the time is right, I'm going to break his face and every one of his teeth in his mouth."

Below are some of the more notable quotes from Silva's brief time on the call:

- "Chael Sonnen's going to get his (expletive) kicked like he's never done before."

- "What I'm going to do inside the Octagon is going to change the image of the sport."

- "I'm going to break his arms, legs; he's not going to be able to walk out of the Octagon by himself."

- "I'm going to make him eat everything he said about our country. I'm going to make him pay, and make sure he never disrespects any fighter (again)."

- "I am going to beat him maybe the way his parents should have beat him. I'm going to beat him like he's never been beat before."

All of this was translated by Ed Soares, the manager for Silva. It's possible that Soares even toned it done a touch, as the emotion Silva put on display was out of character.

"I've promoted every Anderson Silva fight since he's been in the UFC, and I've never heard him talk even remotely like this before," UFC president Dana White said. "He doesn't usually say anything disrespectful about his opponent. I've never heard Anderson Silva talk like this."

Fedor Retires

Initial reports following Fedor Emelianenko’s victory over Pedro Rizzo on Thursday left his retirement in doubt, but it appears that the legendary Russian fighter has finally decided to hang up his gloves.

“I think it is time I quit,” Emelianenko said, according to a report by the Russian News & Information Agency RIA Novosti.

“My family influenced my decision. My daughters are growing without me, that’s why it’s time to leave.”

Emelianenko, 35, also apparently said that there are no “fantastic offers” that could tempt him out of retirement, specifically mentioning that even exacting revenge on Fabricio Werdum was not of great importance to him.

Fedor defeating Cro Cop at Pride Grand Prix 2005Russian president Vladimir Putin was in attendance at Fedor’s final fight, getting up in the ring afterwards to congratulate him.

“I want to congratulate Fedor and thank him from all of us, martial arts fans,” Putin said; according to Russian news site RT.com. “It is because of him this sport became so popular in our country.”

Fedor went the majority of his career relatively undefeated.

Fedor fought to a 31-1 record before ever again tasting defeat, that being to Werdum under the Strikeforce banner. That started some dominoes toppling, however, as Fedor lost two more fights before he exited the promotion.

He lost to Tsuyoshi Kosaka in just the fifth fight of his career in 17 seconds due to a cut.

Fedor at the Pride Grand Prix 2005The win over Rizzo on Thursday was his third consecutive victory since a loss to Dan Henderson in Strikeforce.

Fedor dominated the heavyweight division in the early 2000s fighting for Pride Fighting Championships in Japan. Pride’s heavyweight class was considered the premier assembly of big men in the world at the time.

The UFC eventually tried to sign Fedor to fight in the Octagon, but company officials could never come to terms with the Russian great’s management company, M-1 Global.

Fedor Emelianenko’s record stands at 34-4 as he hangs up his gloves for the final time.

MMA Legend Fedor Emelianenko Retires

There was talk of Russian legend Fedor Emelianenko retiring if he were to lose to renowned veteran striker Pedro Rizzo at the M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Rizzo event which occurred earlier today (June 21, 2012) in St. Petersburg, Russia.

It appears that's it's true. According to Lowkick's Anton Gurevich, Emelianenko has retired after a lengthy career saying:

"I think it's time. I'm retiring from sports. I still have the SAMBO World Championships. My family is the reason I will not be fighting again. My daughters are growing without their father, so it's the right time to leave...There's no 'fantastic' offer that could tempt me out of retirement. I'm retiring to spend more time with my family

Welcome

Hello MMA Fans,
My name is Brett and I have created this blog to bring awareness to the GREAT sport of mixed martial arts and keep everyone up to date on what is happening in the world of mixed martial arts. Firstly about myself. I am currently training in Yeppoon, Australia at Rhino Mixed Martial Arts (http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Rhino-mma-yeppoon/128329697222719). I have been training for approximately 9 months in the great sport of muay thai and have in the last 2 to 3 months began grappling (what an awesome way to raise fitness levels!!!). I am hoping to have my first amateur fight early in the new year (would have been sooner but the better half said not before the wedding!!), and depending on how I go I am hoping it can be a bit more than a hobby. I also own a website which specialses in mixed martial arts gear which I am in the process of setting up, so if you are chasing any good quality gear at great prices check out http://www.globalmmadirect.com. If you can't  find what you are looking for then let me know and i will try to point you in the right direction. I am also hoping to add a "techniques" section to the site so keep an eye out for that as anyone thinking about getting into the cage will benefit. Anyway I am very new to all this but in my next post I will put up some results from the different Mixed Martial Arts organisations and also some rankings and deals from http://www.globalmmadirect.com, and remember Go Hard or Go Home!!!
