Bantamweight fighter Walel ‘The Gazelle’ Watson has been released by the UFC.
After a negative record of 3 losses in a row president Dana White has decided that Watson can leave the federation.
His debut in UFC one year ago had been hopeful, with a first-round technical knockout over fellow UFC debutant Joseph Sandoval at UFC Live 6. But after that came two losses via decision (Yves Jabouin and TJ Dillashaw) and most recently, Watson was stopped by

MMA News – Ronda Rousey explains how to break an arm!

According to Ronda Rousey, breaking an arm feels like “tearing apart a turkey with a crotch”. A sort of game, so to speak.
“I don’t think it’s satisfying. It kind of grosses me out. I tell everybody, it kind of feels like tearing apart a turkey with a crotch. It really does. It’s gross. When you’re trying to get a turkey thing off and you feel all the cartilage and the tendons and the bones coming off, when you’re pulling it, it really is that exact feeling” she said during the interview. “It’s gross. But that’s the way it is. They’d try to do the exact same thing to me. I’ve felt it being done to my own arms”.
The best example of this is what she did to Miesha Tate when she won the 135-pound title in March.
The 25 year-old has in fact has won all nine of her bouts in the same way: armbar. And often with bad consequences for her “victims”.
In a former interview, she explained where she learned her signature move: her judoka mother jumped on her every morning to wake her up with armbars! If it is not maternal love…

MMA News – A ‘Bigfoot’ is ready to step in: UFC on FX 5 Browne vs Bigfoot Silva – Oct 5

His first appearance at UFC in May was a disaster. Ex-champ Cain Velasquez made his face a bloody mess at UFC 146. And almost a year earlier, his hope to win the Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament was wiped out by a big punch delivered by Daniel Cormier in the semifinals.
His memorable victory against the legend Fedor Emelianenko seems to be happened centuries ago.
Now Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (16-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) wants to forget the recent past and comeback to victory.
Friday at Target Center in Minneapolis in the main event of UFC on FX 5, he will face a rising giant, the 6-foot-7 undefeated Travis Browne (13-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC).
Silva (6-foot-4, anyway) said: “I’m coming into this fight with a lot of

Dave Batista vs Vince Lucero full fight video

Just five days before his scheduled MMA debut, former WWE Champion Dave Batista finally knows who’ll be his first MMA opponent: the veteran Vince Lucero.
The former candidates were all almost amateur fighters, with no professional bouts: Rashid Evans went to jail; Bruno McKee cited a lack of time to prepare.
Instead Vince Lucero is a legitimate experienced fighter, a 13-year-veteran with 45 bouts. Not a dummy.
The bulky fighter who cuts to make the 265-pound top limit of the heavyweight division, has fought twice this year on Rage in the Cage show. His last fight was a win on April 13 over

If so, Ronda would be the

MMA News – Official trailer UFC 153 Silva vs Bonnar. And what’s Silva’s future?

Less than 15 days to UFC 153 (October 13, 2012 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), but the questions at a press conference for promoting the bout are all for Silva’s future. In particular the alleged fear of the “Spider” to face Chris Weidman, who is coming off dominant back-to-back wins over top-10 opponents.
“Everything has its time. He’ll have his opportunity to fight for the belt. Maybe I fight next before he gets the shot, I lose and he fights someone else. We don’t know. I can fight Bonnar, lose and say: ‘you know what, I don’t want it anymore’. Or maybe I win and way ‘I don’t want

Dave ‘Batista’ Bautista vs Vince Lucero full fight video

First: Finally David Batista’ll make his first appearance in MMA on October 6 at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., in the main event of a pay-per-view show called, “CES MMA: Real Pain.”
Second: the opponet is a mystery yet. (Read the last news on Batista Mma debut)
Batista is a former World Wrestling Entertainment headliner. He began his WWE career on 9 May 2002, after a past as bouncer and huge bodybuilder (at his best he was at 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds), having in fact never competed at any significant level in wrestling (different story for Brock Lesnar, another WWE star that came to MMA, who was an NCAA champion before pro wrestling).
His rise was fast and straight, and Batista won his first World Heavyweight Championship on 3 April at WrestleMania 21 in a spectacular match against his ex leader Triple H. The show did 1,090,000 worldwide pay-per-view buys, at the time the largest non-boxing number for any pay-per-view event in history.
After 3 years of dominance, his reign began to fall down, mainly because of several injuries. So finally he left WWE when his contract expired in May 2010.
After that he tried to enter in the MMA world. Batista had announced that he and Strikeforce were negotiating a contract. However in

MMA News – No problem at UFC on Fuel Tv 5 weigh-in: results and video


UFC on Fuel Tv 5 – Today none of the fighters struggled to make weight on Friday including the heavyweight main event fighters Stipe Miocic (239 pounds) and Stefan Struve (251 pounds) who obviously didn’t have to suffer cutting pounds like the other competitors on the card.
Yet the loudest ovation from the Nottingham crowd was for the “homeboy” Dan Hardy, but all of the British fighters were
