Cortez Phelia vs. Eric Ramirez Round 1 Ramirez throws out a few range finding punches as Phelia plays the outside. Ramirez with an outside low kick followed by a left-right combination. Ramirez with a spinning back fist off the mark, and Phelia changes levels to complete a takedown. Ramirez threatens with a guillotine, but nothing there. “The Ram” looks for an armbar, but immediately switches to a triangle choke. Phelia’s arm is inside preventing the choke from being fully locked up, but Ramirez keeps his opponent in position against the cage. “The Ram” gives up on the choke, and Phelia postures up to start landing some solid punches to the head of the Michigan native. Phelia stacks up and continues raining down punches, but Ramirez attempts a heel hook. Phelia is defending well while trying to roll out of danger, and with 1:00 left on the clock, Ramirez abandons the submission, and springs to his feet. Phelia’s knee buckles and he falls to his back. “The Ram” takes top position and begins laying down some punches. Ramirez with an armbar attempt, but Phelia steps over, and lands some peppering shots as the bell sounds.

Andrei Arlovski has won five of his past six bouts. | Photo: Gleidson Venga/Sherdog.com Andrei Arlovski understands what it takes to reach the mountaintop in the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight division. The 35-year-old Belarusian will take aim at Antonio Silva in a high-stakes rematch, as they meet in the UFC Fight Night “Bigfoot vs. Arlovski 2” main event on Saturday at Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil. Arlovski is one of 13 men to have held the undisputed UFC heavyweight championship, along with Cain Velasquez , Junior dos Santos , Brock Lesnar , Randy Couture , Tim Sylvia , Frank Mir , Ricco Rodriguez , Josh Barnett , Kevin Randleman , Bas Rutten , Maurice Smith and Mark Coleman . “If you want to be the best, you have to fight with the best fighters,” he told Sherdog.com. “Obviously, the UFC has the best heavyweight division right now. There’s great fighters -- tough fighters. Right now, I’m focused on my fight with ‘Bigfoot,’ the rematch with ‘Bigfoot.’ We’ll see what’s going to happen after.

UFC Fight Night 56 takes place Nov. 8 at Ginasio Municipal Tancredo Neves in Uberlandia, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Broadcast plans haven’t been announced, though it’s likely to include a combination of FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

This weekend's Mayweather vs. Maidana fight is a rare beast in boxing - a Floyd Mayweather rematch. This marks only the second time in his soon to be 47 fight career that Mayweather has taken a rematch (the last was against Jose Luis Castillo back in 2002 - Mayweather won that rematch via decision). Yet there's no question Maidana earned this second crack at the king thanks to his supremely impressive performance in May when they first fought. That first fight ended in a majority decision win for Mayweather with scores of 116-112, 117-111 (which is ridiculous), and 114-114. Most analysts agreed that Mayweather won the fight, but by a narrow margin. Now, Maidana will look to better that performance and close the show.

Former UFC lightweight champion, B.J. Penn responds to Mike Dolce's claims that improper training may have led to his loss against Frankie Edgar.

"Who says Jones isn't popular? I mean, as far as our business goes, Jones is very popular," White said. "I think Joe is saying, ‘Why isn't he this massive superstar? The guy is so talented, his brothers are two NFL players, etcetera, etcetera.' There's no doubt that Jon has had his share of issues since he's been the champ, but I wouldn't say that Jon Jones isn't popular."

The NFL and its players are closing in on finalizing a new drug agreement that would bring with it HGH testing and major changes to the marijuana policy and could result in the reduction of punishments for currently suspended players such as Josh Gordon , Wes Welker and Orlando Scandrick .

“At the time of the incident, none of the involved parties wanted to press charges and no arrests were made,” she said. “However, the case is still an active investigation and is being reviewed by APD and the Municipal Prosecutors Office. Alcohol was believed to have been a factor in the incident. Some of the Palin family members were in attendance at the party.”

I have watched Mark Calaway ever since his days in the NWA when he was Mean Mark Callous, he was a Bad Ass then and he is a Bad Ass now. I was one of billions of fans who felt bad when he lost to Brock Lesner, but it took 3 F5’s to take him down, I wish he would show up at Night of Champions, and wish Cena Luck, then announce his Retirement. So next Wrestlemania he can be properly inducted into the Hall of Fame. God Bless the DeadMan,

In this writer's humble opinion, McGregor embodies everything that the sport of mixed martial arts needs. And I don't mean the smack talking and the call outs. Nor am I talking about the man who can absorb the attention of the whole room when sat between two fighters twice his size at the press conferences. I don't even mean the surprisingly understated and thoughtful guy who quietly mingled and chatted with press before watching his friend Gunnar Nelson fight at the O2.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Richard Kiel, the towering actor best known for portraying steel-toothed villain Jaws in a pair of James Bond films, has died. He was 74.

Following a number of Twitter and Facebook posts by CAL-FFL and its supporters earlier today, California gubernatorial candidate Neel Kashkari told the association that he "would veto" the four gun control bills on Governor Jerry Brown's desk. In a February presentation to students at Cal State Sacramento, Mr. Kashkari  made perplexing statements on the polarizing topic of gun laws, comments that the gun rights community largely viewed as "uneducated." As reported by CalNewsroom.com 's John Hrabe, Kashkari's follow-up comments to gun rights supporters "caused a firestorm...among California’s grassroots gun activists." But CAL-FFL President Brandon Combs says that Kashkari's apparently hard-line stance against the gun bills passed by the Legislature this year is a change for the better. "Neel Kashkari's views on Second Amendment civil rights has been a trying experience for us, to say the least," noted Combs. "However, we're certainly encouraged by his new position and welcome the move towards embracing fundamental individual liberties. Perhaps Mr. Kashkari took my advice after all.

Fighter Diet News, by Pauline Nordin: Get Buff, Get Lean

UFC color commentator Joe Rogan previews the Fight Night Brasilia main event between Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski.

Gleison Tibau (29-10) vs. Piotr Hallman (15-2), UFC Fight Night 51, Brasilia, Brazil: When Bigfoot Silva went to a lackluster decision over Andrei Arlovski as the co-feature to Alistair Overeem's knockout of Brett Rogers back on a 2010 Strikeforce show, did you walk away thinking "Man, I can't wait for a Bigfoot-Arlvoski rematch?" Yeah, neither did we. So, while UFC Fight Night 51 looks on paper to be nothing special, the lightweight co-main in Brasilia looks like one you shouldn't sleep on. It seems unfair to use the term "gatekeeper" for Tibau, because he's been around so long by this point, with nearly two dozen UFC fights, that the term "survivor" seems more appropriate. Hallman, meanwhile, is an MMA Lab import from Poland. He's 2-1 in the UFC, and has earned post-fight bonuses for each of his two wins. A victory over someone as respected as Tibau would signal it's time to take Hallman seriously at 155.

It is unusual that despite no change in their training volume, the ~800 kcal increase in caloric intake had no effect on body composition. This is the first overfeeding study done on well-trained individuals; thus, one might speculate that their response differs from sedentary individuals. Although there was no significant change in the mean value for body weight, body fat, lean body mass or percent fat, the individual responses were quite varied. This may be due to the fact that other dietary factors were not controlled (e.g. carbohydrate intake). There was a mean increase in carbohydrate intake (~14%) in the high protein group. This was not significant due to the wide variation in intakes. Of the 20 subjects in the high protein group, 9 consumed more carbohydrate whereas 11 decreased or maintained the same intake. It is unclear if consuming protein only during the overfeeding period in the absence of fat or carbohydrate intake alterations would differentially impact body composition; however, we would speculate that protein overfeeding alone would likely have no effect on fat mass while promoting gains in lean body mass concurrent with a heavy resistance training regimen geared towards skeletal muscle hypertrophy.

Watch the official weigh-in for UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs. Arlovski.

Coincidentally, that date coincides with the approximate date Diaz is now expected to appear in court as a result of his latest arrest. Diaz was arrested by members of the Lodi Police Department in the early morning hours on September 6 on charges of suspicion of DUI, obstructing a police officer, destruction of evidence and driving with a suspended license, MMAFighting.com confirmed on Friday.

“I am so glad that I decided to finally try Fighter Diet after knowing about it for over a year, but never attempting. I recently did my first bodybuilding competition as a lightweight and placed 1st in my class. The dieting was horrible, though I stuck with it, all 3.5 months were hell! Excuse my language. The mood swings associated with “old school” bodybuilding diets that have almost zero carbohydrates and the lack of energy to do anything almost, is what almost deterred from wanting to compete again. After my competition I was afraid of gaining weight like most competitors do and I didn’t want to live my life eating small portions and always feeling hungry. So, I bought my first FD Ebook which happened to be FD Extreme and currently on the 1500cal plan. So far I have managed to

BRASILIA, Brazil – Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski  is a sizable underdog heading into Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 51 headliner with Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, but on Saturday, he claimed a title of an entirely different sort.

With projections of the disease's spread unreliable and inconsistent (the WHO has said the total number of infections in West Africa could reach 20,000; at least one long-term model put the number north of 100,000), it's hard to tell exactly just how big the threat is to Liberia. But a London epidemiologist who is studying Ebola's spread in Monrovia has said that the rapidly spreading virus has the potential to infect the majority of Liberia's population, according to Britain's Channel 4 News .

Nick Diaz was arrested in Lodi, Calif., on Sept. 6 on charges of DUI, obstructing a police officer, destruction of evidence and driving with a suspended license. Following his booking, the former Strikeforce champion took the inevitable mugshot. Above is the photo released to Sherdog.com from the Lodi Police Department.

“Right now, it doesn’t really matter to me (who I fight),” Dos Santos said. “I just want to fight. I want to fight before the end of the year because it’s very important. In October, it’s going to be one year that I haven’t had a fight. It’s making me very frustrated, and I’m feeling very nervous about that. That’s what I do. That’s what I love to do, and that’s what I do to live, and I can’t wait to be back.”

So again, long story short, I don't think I'm exactly where I need to be, in terms of respect and stuff like this. A lot of fighters in this country, and even promoters and stuff like this, a lot of people still count me out in a lot of fights. I mean, I've got eight wins. I still got two losses, but in those eight wins, I've never gone the distance. Four knockouts, four submissions. I mean, I don't think there's anybody that's really as versatile as me in this country. And I think, it's not until I get to the UFC and then knock someone out, and then the UK's gonna be like, "Oh my god, like, he's the savior!" Like, "Dadadada" You know how it goes, isn't it. I don't want to be like, Mike Tyson style, and just hate on everybody. Once I actually blow and make it, like, "Aw, fuck them. They never helped me get here in the first place." I don't want to have that chip on my shoulder, man. But, it's difficult, it's difficult, but you know, you get through it.

Nick Diaz is back in the UFC and he sat down with UFC.com for an exclusive interview. Hear him talk about a potential fight with Anderson Silva, how he got into fighting and much more.

The weigh-ins take place at Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil, the same venue that hosts Saturday’s UFC Fight Pass-streamed card. The first fighter is on the scale at 3 p.m. ET (noon p.m. PT).

Zane Simon : This is do or die time for Dashon Johnson. The UFC can't lob many easier opponents at him than Pepey, and that's fresh off a flying knee KO for the Brazilian. Unfortunately, winning this fight would mean having improved a lot from his debut a few months ago. Johnson is incredibly limited in his defensive awareness (a byproduct of a can-heavy record). And more unfortunately, he's at his worst on the ground, where he just doesn't seem to realize when he's in a really bad position, or how to get out of it. Pepey may be unpolished on his feet, and overaggressive in his grappling, but Johnson has too much catching up to do to win fights in the UFC right now. Godofredo Pepey by submission, Round 1.

Bloody Elbow is the place to be to watch the UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs. Arlovski weigh-ins, which air today at 3 PM ET/12 PM PT.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. turns 38 in February. | Photo: Mike Sloan/Sherdog.com The scars are there if you look close enough. They traverse the corners of his eyebrows in short lines, and his face, though barely touched, is weathered from more than 30 years of boxing. Floyd Mayweather Jr. does not like to talk about it. Nobody really likes to talk about what they once were, when their skin was tight and muscle definition sharp, as opposed to when they hit those 30s and there is a glint of the middle-aged paunch and all the sculpted work goes to pot. Mayweather has more than a few years before the onset of that, but the undisputed welterweight king and the world’s best pound-for-pound fighter has shown some cracks in his impregnable veneer lately. Sometimes we forget he is 37 years old. Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs) may have reminded everyone in May, when he shocked the boxing world by giving “Money” his toughest fight since Mayweather won a split decision over Oscar De La Hoya in May 2007. The De La Hoya fight generated a record-breaking 2.

We had the pleasure of going down Alliance MMA and filming former UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz ahead of his UFC 178 fight after being sidelined for nearly three years due to injuries.  It was amazing watching Dominick work and witness first hand just how much he sacrifices for this sport, not just on the mat but in every aspect of his life.  Look for the full version to drop sometime next week as we all can’t wait to see Cruz back in action on September 27th.

12 September 2014 - Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Asia's largest mixed martial arts organization with a 90% market share, ONE Fighting Championship (ONE FC), put on a dazzling display of world-class mixed martial arts action to the delight of a packed crowd at the Koh Pich Theatre in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for ONE FC: RISE OF THE KINGDOM. In the main event, Adriano Moraes captured the inaugural ONE FC Flyweight World Championship, defeating Geje Eustaquio by submission in round 2.

Can Bellator President Scott Coker replicate the success he enjoyed with Strikeforce? | Photo: Keith Mills/Sherdog.com When Scott Coker was announced as new president of Bellator MMA , the decision was met with near universal acclaim from fans and pundits alike. Coker, after all, has a proven track record as one of MMA’s savviest and most successful promoters. He built the Strikeforce brand into a regional and then national power and succeeded where many other aspiring mixed martial arts promoters had failed. It also did not hurt that Bellator founder Bjorn Rebney had alienated many during his time running the company. Coker has been hailed as a panacea for all that ails Bellator. While Coker’s track record provides reason for optimism, he returns to an MMA landscape radically different from the one that existed the last time he was genuinely steering the Strikeforce ship more than three years ago. Moreover, he takes charge of a promotion that is structured and monetized in a completely different way than either the San Jose, Calif.

Floyd Mayweather will earn $32 million on Saturday. | Mike Sloan/Sherdog.com Floyd Mayweather will earn $32 million dollars when he takes the ring against Marcos Maidana on Saturday, while “Chino” will take home $3 million. The figures were released by the Nevada Athletic Commission on Friday. “Money” will be taking home the same amount of cash he did for the first encounter in May, while Maidana doubled his number of $1.5 million. Maidana’s purse has been known for the better part of Friday, Mayweather’s wasn’t revealed until shortly after the weigh-ins at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The $32 million represents a small portion of what Mayweather will ultimately walk away with. The event is aired on pay-per-view, and the 47-0 boxer takes home a good portion of the revenue due to Mayweather Promotions co-promoting the fight.

New information released on UFC welterweight Nick Diaz reveals that the ex-Strikeforce champion had been booked on a previous DUI charge several months ago.

R2: Newton starts the round with his kicking game at range, thowing spinning heel kicks and side kicks to the body. Beltran is trying to swarm him and eventually catches him in the clinch about a minute in. Newton works his way out, lands a hard knee, and tries to go back to his kicks. Beltran cuts him off immediately, and Beltran swarms him against the fence. They're trading shots, but Beltran is landing a lot more as Newton covers and tries to counter. Newton looks a little frustrated. They separate and Newton goes for a spinning back fist and doesn't land it. Beltran clinches him up, Newton pushes him off and comes forward with a 1-2 and kick combo. Beltran gets him back in the clinch and is throwing a lot of short knees. Newton shrugs him off again and tries to go back to his combo kickboxing, but Beltran's punches are a lot faster and in a lot more volume. Beltran backs newton up and lands a slapping high kick as Newton tries to circle off. Newton is just trying to stay at range and land single big shots. Finally he drives in with a double and gets Beltran down. Beltran lands a couple elbows from bottom and immediately scrambles to his feet.

Then Newton turned the tide in a moment’s notice as Beltran walked straight into a spinning backfist that knocked him out cold and kept the belt stationary. It was deja vu for the 30-year-old champ, who delivered a career performance 10 months ago when he knocked out Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal with the same strike to win the interim title.

Despite popular opinion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn’t think his first fight with Marcos Maidana was all that close. However, boxing’s pound-for-pound king wants to please the fans, which is why the rematch with Maidana will take place on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas -- just four months after he captured a majority decision against the Argentina native. “Well, the fans demanded it, the fans said it was real exciting,” Mayweather said during a recent conference call. “My team had a meeting. They came up with this guy, and like I said before, I’m a man of my word. Just like I said after the fight, if you feel like you want to do it again, let’s do it again.” In their first bout, Mayweather struggled early against his opponent’s pressuring, aggressive style but gradually made the necessary adjustments to pull away down the stretch. Still, not all the ringside judges agreed that Mayweather was the clear-cut winner. While Burt Clements (117-111) and Dave Moretti (116-112) saw the fight in favor of “Money,” Michael Pernick scored it 114-114.
