MMA Video Tribute: 9 ‘Falling Tree’ Knockouts

UFC Quick Notes: Firings, Rematches, The Land Down Under + More


(As if this wasn’t humiliating enough, Jason was also forced to pay for his own rape kit. [What, too soon?] Photo courtesy of MMAWeekly.)

Recent reports have indicated that middleweight Jason Day and welterwight Josh Burkman are the latest fighters to be canned by the UFC. Though Day won his UFC debut against Alan Belcher last April, he then lost back-to-back fights against Michael Bisping and Kendall Grove, both by first-round TKO. Burkman’s exit is even less surprising, as his loss to Pete Sell at UFC 90 was his third-straight Octagon defeat. Akihiro Gono was also cut last month after dropping two straight.

— After bumbling regional ref Rick Fike stopped their first fight way too early, lightweights Aaron Riley and Shane Nelson will get another chance to tangle at UFC 101 (August 8th, Philadelphia). Nelson was awarded a TKO victory at UFC 96 after knocking Riley to the mat in the first round, but Riley immediately invoked the "what the fuck is your problem?" rule and the crowd backed him up with chants of "Bullshit!"


According to Fighters Only, the UFC may hold their first event in Australia next February. A source informed FO that Sydney’s Acer Arena — which has a maximum capacity of 21,000 — has been contacted by the UFC for a Feb. ’10 date.

— After choking out Junie Browning at the "Condit vs. Kampmann" Fight Night show earlier this month, ATT lightweight Cole Miller asked for the winner of the upcoming UFC 99 bout between Spencer Fisher and Caol Uno. Unfortunately, Joe Silva doesn’t do requests. Undefeated TUF 8 winner Efrain Escudero confirmed on a recent video chat on his website that he’ll be taking on Miller at UFC 103 (September TBA). Escudero was originally set to make his post-TUF debut at "Condit vs. Kampmann" against Jeremy Stephens, but a rib injury forced him to pull out of the event. His replacement, Gleison Tibau, went on to beat Stephens in a unanimous decision.

    What do you mean no stability? Out with the old in with the new. You gotta cut the dead weight if you know what I mean. If the UFC always had the same fighters that would get old fast.

    No big losses on those guys getting cut. Gono was fun but fun doesnt win fights. Escudero has a hard fight for his first since winning T.U.F. Cole is now the new T.U.F. killer since J-Mac is probably going to get cut now.

    Efrain should put up a much better fight than Junie... that was pathetic. He should be cut next IMO. Nothing sadder than a shit-talker who can't back it up.

    Kendall Grove beat Alan Belcher, then lost to Patrick Cote and Jorge Rivera. He got another chance against the late Evan Tanner. Jason Day beat Alan Belcher, then lost to Michael Bisping and Kendall Grove. Now he's cut. Almost every fighter has lost two fights in a row at some point, so that's got to be disappointing for Jason. Of all the divisions in the UFC, it seems 185 is the least crowded so it is a bit of a surprise.

    WTF, Dana said he wouldn't cut Gono after that because the guy was entertaining.

    Everyone with XBOX live for 360, go download the UFC demo. Its way sicker than i thought it was gonna be. Very, very addicting. I avenged chucks loss many times so i felt a little better about that. It seems worth buying though for sure.

    Da Truth Dooms Day? Is that you? Either way theres no room in the UFC for someone who gets humiliated like that by Kendal Grove. That guy is mediocre at best, he made beating Ed "Ginger" Herman look hard for gods sake.
