Over the weekend, I saw the first three minutes of 'Death Warrior'. A 2009 MMA/death fight straight-to-DVD movie 'starring' Keith Jardine, Rampage, Evans, GSP and... Mauro Ranallo.
It may be, without exaggeration, the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.
And Rampage is hardcore-fat in it too. Not even UFC prefight 'trainers teasing Page about being fat' fat. He was U-S-A! U-S-A! fat.
Such a shit stain on MMA. I think it set our sport back a few years.
Any good MMA movies to clean my eyes with?

Tito's next to get injured, just watch.
Main Event ends up being Evans vs. Franklin.
It's the Rashad Evans curse.

Gerald Harris (got the boot after losing to Falcao) just got signed to a multi fight deal with Dream. Other than his loss to Falcao I thought he was a pretty fun fighter and was on the rise so I'll be looking forward to seeing more of him.

So, let's look at the last four cards Rashad Evans has been on:
7 injuries for UFC 98
10 injuries for UFC 108
2 injuries for UFC 114
7 injuries for UFC 133
THE DUDE IS FUCKING CURSED
Note that one of the injuries for 114 was Forrest Griffin who was in the co-main event, and in both 98 and 108 there were supposed to be different main events and Rashad Evans ended up in the main event due to some of the injuries. In the case of 108, THREE different main events were cancelled (Lesnar vs. Carwin, A. Silva vs. Belfort, Noguiera vs. Velasquez) before Evans vs. T. Silva ended up taking their place. Oh and of course there's the freak injury Evans himself had which caused him to pull out of UFC 128 just 2 weeks prior.
If Rashad Evans is in an upcoming UFC event and you're contemplating the purchase of tickets, don't do it, at least not right when the tickets go on sale.

It's no 136.
Two title fights then five more fights that could all headline a Fight Night.

An mma article on the front page of cnn.com! About women mma fighters no less. (unfortunately its about how they're probably going to disappear completely soon)

Brain study could help fighters decide when to retire
Sounds like a good idea, though as they mention in the article I bet older fighters won't go along with it even though they need it the most.

Bellator 47 gets the second highest rating in the history of the company (277,000 and 386,000 peak): http://mmajunkie.com/news/24564/bel...ond-best-mtv2-ratings-in-bellator-history.mma
Honestly I think these Bellator ratings are exhibit A for why the Nielsens are utterly useless. 40 (Askren vs. Thompson) supposedly had 218,000 viewers compared to 41's 132,000 viewers (Warren vs. Galvao). Bellator 40 was up against Diaz vs. Daley and 41 was unopposed I think. Makes no sense.
edit: Multi-fight UFC deal for Jeff Curran. Didn't see that coming.

Read that an event called Genesis is going to have a ppv with some UFC/TUF washouts: Jens Pulver, Jamie Yager, Houston Alexander, and ... wait for it ... Junie Browning!
Struve vs. Barry at UFC on Versus 6
Verbal agreements are in for a titanic battle between Stefan Skyscraper Struve and Pat HD Barry October 1st on UFC Live On Versus, said UFC president Dana White. At 6'11", Struve is the tallest fighter among UFC heavyweights, while Barry, a full foot shorter, clocks in as the division's shortest.
This is is some PRIDE-level freakiness!

Ugh, Barry by easy KO.
Just look at what Barry did to Hardonk with those straight rights for fuck's sake.

If he can even reach his chin.polyh3dron said:
Struve would be good if he could keep people at distance but he lets them come in on em and thats a real problem for him since his chin is never tucked and is floating out there like a big red jolly candy like button.

Curran's UFC return fight is with Scotty Jorgensen. That's a tough one to come back to.

Maia made a video offering to teach Sonnen how to defend a triangle and Sonnen said on UFC Connected that he might take him up on that offer and thinks that Maia is great
