UFC Fighter Turned Actor Jackson Returns to Octagon
The Rampage Jackson versus Sugar Rashad Evans light heavyweight bout has been in the making for over a year now. When UFC 114 concludes with this bout in Las Vegas, Memorial Day Saturday, the electricity will be through the roof.
Jackson and Evans have an obvious hatred for each other and with Jackson now starring in the movie version of The A Team, Evans will have more fuel to add to the fire. Jackson and Evans were the coaches on The Ultimate Fighter Season Ten and there were plenty of fireworks between the two in that season. Evans main issue will be can his fast hands and foot speed overwhelm the the larger harder hitting Rampage Jackson.
Rashad Evans +120 versus Quinton Jackson -140 light heavyweight fight.
Quinton Rampage Jackson and Sugar Rashad Evans were suppose to square off for this fight last year but Jackson flew the UFC coop and went to make the movie The A Team. Evans has been relentless in his desire to keep this fight on the front burner since Jackson bugged out last year.
Now that Evans has what he wants, he may regret that have ever wished for this fight. Evans may be faster on his his feet and with his hands but Jackson will waste no time coming forward and doing his best to shut Evans up. Evans, a wrestler, will be looking for takedowns early and often and he could pay if he catches a shot going in recklessly for a takedown on Jackson. Evans last fight was a decision over Thiago Silva and his fight before that was a loss brutal knockout loss to Lyoto Machida.
Rampage Jackson's biggest problem will be the layoff outside the Octagon. Jackson has had similar layoffs though and this could end up not being the game changer everyone is making it out to be. Jackson does not look like other fighters that have left training to shoot a movie and don't expect a soft version of Jackson in this fight. Jackson -140 will defeat Evans either by lopsided decision or a knockout.
John Hathaway +200 versus Diego Sanchez -240 lightweght fight.
Diego Sanchez
23-3 was dismantled in his last fight by BJ Penn and this will not be an easy return to the Octagon against John Hathaway who is 12-0 and on his way up the UFC ladder. Sanchez actually is coming off two punishing fights, his fight before Penn was a knock down drag out battle with Clay Guida. Sanchez won the fight but took a lot of punishment in the process.
John Hathaway nicknamed "The Hitman" has not faced any major MMA fighters of note on his way to a 12-0 record but he has shown versatility. Hathaway has won by strikes, elbows, and one submission in the first fight of his career. Hathaway has gone the distance four times in his short career, including his last two fights. If this fight goes the distance, Hathaway has no shot.
Diego Sanchez will try to make short work of Hathaway and if Hathaway can survive the first round he will need to finish the fight in the second round. Sanchez is a warrior and he will own the third round. Diego Sanchez -200 will win by a first round knockout. Look for Sanchez to try to end this fight in the first two and a half minutes.
Dong Hyun Kim -110 versus Amir Saddollah -110 middleweight fight.
Amir Sadollahis headed into another battle in his short UFC career. Dong Hyun Kim is no pushover for Sadollah to face in his fourth UFC fight.Kim aka "Stun Gun", has six knockouts and a record of 12-0-1. Kim would have a spotless record if it wasn't for his fight with Karo Parisyan last January. The fight was later changed to a no contest after Parisyan tested positive in his drug test post fight.
This will be Kim's first appearance in the Octagon since that fight January 31, 2009. With a long layoff, will Kim be able to hit Sadollah with purpose? No one will know that answer until the first punch of this fight. Sadollah has the heart to outlast a hard hitting Kim and should score well in a decision.
Dan Lauzon +375 versus Efrain Escudero -450 lightweight fight.
Efrain Escudero is tough enough but now Dan Lauzon is heading into this fight without his trainer and his brother Joe Lauzon. The full story on Fanhouse can be viewed here. This makes an easy fight for Escudero that much easier. Take Escudero -450 and look for this to end early.

I am pretty sure this will be the best season of The Ultimate Fighter. I am just not so sure this cat could ever get into the ring with Brock Lesner.
But this dude may be able too:

Quinton Jackson vs Rashad Evans in December
We’re now up to month number seven of 2009 but the UFC is working hard to fill up their calendar until 2010, locking down a number of big fights for the end of the year. Tops is the battle of Ultimate Fighter 10 coaches Rashad Evans and Quinton Jackson, who will clash at UFC 107 in Memphis on December 12th. I’m extra hyped for this because my parents live in Tennessee too so I can use them as an excuse to see the UFC. Or is that supposed to be the other way around? Sorry mom.
Working backwards, UFC 105 on November 14th is in the UK and expected to feature Michael Bisping vs Anderson Silva if Bisping gets past Dan Henderson. No word yet on what the plan is when that doesn’t happen…. UFC 104 the day before Halloween has Lyoto Machida versus Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, but the real match to watch on that one is the one that was just leaked yesterday: Shane Carwin versus Cain Velasquez. These guys are the future of the heavyweight division and it looks like the UFC is putting them in an eliminator to see who’s ready for a title run.
Those Chuck Liddell rumors I mentioned last week are still floating around, and there are enough headliner gaps in the UFC’s future to slot him into UFC 103 on September 19th or UFC 106 in Vegas on November 21st. Whatever ends up happening, you can pretty much guarantee that the rest of the year is going to be a very good one to be an MMA fan. Here’s the schedule:
UFC 101: August 8th in Philly with BJ Penn vs Kenny Florian
UFC 102: August 29th in Portland with Randy Couture vs Big Nog
UFC Fight Night 19: September 16th with Roger Huerta vs Gray Maynard
UFC 103: September 19th in Dallas
UFC 104: October 24th in Los Angeles with Lyoto Machida vs Shogun Rua
Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale: December 5th with Kimbo Slice
UFC 105: November 14th in Manchester UK
UFC 106: November 21st in Vegas
UFC 107: December 12th in Memphis with Quinton Jackson vs Rashad Evans

Also we will be at Coops in Quincy this Saturday night for UFC 100.

Leg Break
Corey Hill — the lanky and likable contestant from season five of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) — sustained a catastrophic leg injury during his fight against Dale Hartt at UFC Fight Night 16: “Fight for the Troops” last night at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Hartt apparently checked a leg kick from Hill early in the second round, which snapped the 6′4″ Miletich-trained fighter’s shin. It is a terribly graphic and unfortunate injury that will more than likely keep him sidelined for a very long time.
We wish him a speedy and full recovery.
Hill stopped Joe Veres via technical knockout in his Octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 12 back in January. He dropped his next fight against Justin Buchholz at UFC 86 on July 5.
We’ll provide and update on Hill’s health as soon as possible. For the rest of the “Fight for the Troops” results click here and here.

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!!!!
So the boys and I went to the Bruins - Canadians game last night. WOW! The Garden was simply ELECTRIC. We sat in Section 8 and we were surrounded by a few too many Canadian fans!! They all were wearing their Kovalev, Higgins, and Koivu shirts/jerseys. One of the Asshat CUNTNADIANS who sat in front of us didn't even have the simple courtesy to take off his hat during the national anthems. I mean at least show some respect, EH? Anyway after 3 fast paced hard hitting periods...The B's won 6-1. Marco Sturm and Stephan Yelle had 2 goals each, Shawn Thornton and Milan Lucic each scored as well. Someone may want to tell Mike Komisarek that he does NOT want to go one on one with LUCIC!!
Here are some game highlights(Lucics fight is at about 5 minutes):
Jackie Edwards put it best - "THE GARDEN IS PACKED AND HOCKEY IS BACK IN BOSTON".
I know the Bruins have a long way to go to getting some back page notoriety again but this game is THE START. A HUGE ASS WHOOPING START. The Celtics were an afterthought until last years 17th championship.
The bandwagon is filling up and filling up fast. I have conferred with my peeps, well Welchie and Mikey T, and we are all in agreement - YOU have until November 27th, yup that's right THANKSGIVING DAY to get on this rolling train. If you think we should extend the bandwagon cut off date leave me a comment. Now get off your asses and support these guys.
The Pats lost a tough one in OT last night. Great game by Matt Cassel 30-51 for 400 yards, 67 rushing yards, and 3TDs. The defense had a tough 4th quarter and OT.
Don't forget Kristine is hosting the 1st Annual Thanks 4 Giving pub crawl tomorrow at 3:00pm. Bar lists below.
UFC 91 is also tomorrow at 10:00 pm.
Brock Lesner vs Randy Couture
Kenny Florian Vs. Joe Stevenson
Gabriel Gonzaga Vs. Josh Hendricks
Nate Quarry Vs. Demian Maia
Dustin Hazelett Vs. Tamdan McCrory
Jorge Gurgel Vs. Aaron Riley
Jeremy Stephens Vs. Rafael dos Anjos
Alvin Robinson Vs. Mark Bocek
Matt Brown Vs. Ryan Thomas
