It didn’t take Jackson very long to post the $25,000 bail he needed after going all ’sunday sunday sunday’ in his ‘Rampage-mobile.’ Unfortunately, Jackson didn’t have much time to enjoy his freedom. According to Sherdog.com, friends of Jackson signaled to police that he may be a danger to himself and those around and the cops were back at the house of ‘Page pretty quick… Read More »
Griffin Snatches Title From Rampage at UFC 86
In what may go down in history as one of the greatest and closely contested UFC title fights in history, Forrest Griffin did what many said could not be done when he shirked his ‘Reality TV Star’ stigma and became the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of the world. The fight went all five rounds and saw both fighters stay on their feet for the majority, with Quinton Jackson and Griffin both in trouble at various times during the fight.
Griffin employed an insightful game-plan, utilizing his reach and jab to avoid Rampage’s power early on in the fight. Whenever he strayed from this, Jackson made him pay with big shots, rocking him with a powerful uppercut (the same that put Marvin Eastman down in ‘Page’s UFC debut) in the opening round. Forrest showed his chin is not as easily shattered as the Kieth Jardine fight may have led us to believe and managed to recover from Quinton’s power quite well. In the end, it was Forrest’s Thai kicks, chopping the inside and outside of Rampage’s lead left leg, that garnered him the decision. Throughout the fight, Quinton was noticeably hurt and during the second round Griffin cracked him in the knee with such force that it changed the Champ’s usually agile footwork to a flat, stomping affair that kept him from ever getting inside to do real damage. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rampage had something torn or ripped somewhere abouts inside his knee, post-fight. Read More »
Tyson Training Again–Kimbo Match In His Future?
I think Kimbo is scary, but I don’t have nightmares about his fights. I do have those about Mike Tyson. His 80’s run through boxing, during which he systematically savaged everyone he faced while slowly slipping into madness, was frightening. This fear subsided when pictures of Tyson were released showing that, since retiring from fighting, he’s gotten, um, a little big.
I’m not saying I’d want him to punch me, because honestly I’m pretty terrified of losing my entire face. Unfortunately, since these photos came to light, my dreams of him chasing me and eating children in front of me, had really toned down.
Well, my days of feeling secure while in bed are over. According to Sherdog.com, people in Vegas have seen him training, and training really hard.
A source, who asked to remain anonymous, informed Sherdog.com that Tyson has been quietly “training his ass off” with a prominent strength and conditioning coach in the area. The source also stated that Tyson “is not going to do boxing anymore,” but when asked if “Iron Mike” was going to try MMA, the source shrugged, “I don’t know, I can’t say.”
Welcome back nightmares! Thanks a lot, ‘prominent strength and conditioning coach.’ Kimbo! Could you take care of this, please? (Before Tyson’s fit and off the meds…)
