It's the first world championship fight of 2010, and as March 27th's welterweight title bout between Georges St-Pierre and Dan 'The Outlaw' Hardy approaches, Spike TV is going to take you behind the scenes and into the lives of these 170-pound stars with "UFC Primetime", which premieres tonight at 10pm ET / PT.
At 22, Jon 'Bones' Jones may be talked about as the Next Big Thing in the UFC, but the phenom's eye-popping abilities aren't an accident. The 6-foot-3, light heavyweight phenom and former All-American Greco-Roman wrestler has a training regimen as unorthodox as the kicks and strikes for which he's known. Each exercise is designed to push his muscles to the limit while training them to respond explosively.
Martins Denis, UFC - Every fighter that steps into the Octagon has a particular quest inside his mind, and even if climbing the mountain to earn a fight for the title is a mutual goal, each combatant still has his own formula to grab it.
By Myatt Murphy - Superstar Jon Jones owes his butt-kicking exercise regimen to strength and conditioning coach Kelly Tekin -- the woman who also whips Rashad Evans and James McSweeney into shape.
Las Vegas, NV (USA) - UFC® today announced it has reached a long-term agreement with ASN, the first 24-hour HD sports channel in Asia to distribute UFC programs in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Macau, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Canada will get their first dose of the Kimbo Slice phenomenon on Saturday, May 8th, when the Ultimate Fighter alumnus looks to make it 2-0 in the Octagon on the UFC 113: Machida vs Shogun 2 card at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Just a couple quick ones about Jens Pulver…
Nothing about his 22 pro wins, his reign as the first UFC lightweight champion, or his legacy as the man who put the lighter weight classes on the map here in the States; we'll save that for later.
Chuck Mindenhall, UFC - When you're 6-foot-3 and cold as hell in the welterweight division, you can have a little bit of empathy for your opposition heading into a fight. Ben Saunders does. For starters, he knows there aren't a lot of clones out there to emulate his strong gangly frame. He suspects his latest victim, Marcus Davis, didn't have a Saunders-like mantis to give him the look. Ditto Brandon Wolff, whom Saunders beat similarly at UFC: Fight For the Troops in North Carolina.
Rhett Butler, UFC - In 1985, the film The Last Dragon debuted to the rare mix of horrible critiques by the movie critics and impressive box office sales. As one of the rare oxymoronic pieces of cinema, it became a cult classic with the timeless tale of naive good versus conscious evil. Lead character Leroy Green, referred to colloquially as Bruce Leroy, sought the ultimate level of martial arts enlightenment embodied by "the glow", which was held by his nemesis Sho'nuff, who possessed the glow and fear of all challengers.
Frank Curreri, WEC - Those who labeled Dominick Cruz to be a light puncher must eat their words following his masterful performance Saturday night against WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles. The 4-to-1 underdog battered Bowles over two rounds with crisp punching combinations and leg kicks, and Bowles went back to his corner at the end of round two and did not return for a third round. The unbeaten champion told doctors his hand was broken and opted not to continue fighting, conceding his title to his tearful and overjoyed challenger.
