Kendall Grove vs. Minowaman, McMann and Heavyweight Grand Prix at Pro Elite 3

Pro Elite will move forward with their third show since coming under new leadership, and this time they are adding a little flair to the card.

The main event bout scheduled to take place at Pro Elite 3, currently scheduled for Jan 21 in Hawaii, will feature former ‘Ultimate Fighter’ winner Kendall Grove against Ikuhisa ‘Minowaman’ Minowa.

The middleweight match-up will lead the card as confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the promotion on Tuesday.

Minowa is a popular figure around the Japanese fight scene, having competed in Dream, Pride and several other organizations. Meanwhile, Grove will look to build on his last win, a quick submission win over Joe Riggs at the debut Pro Elite card back in August.

Also expected for the third Pro Elite card will be rising women’s star Sara McMann, who currently holds a perfect 4-0 record in the sport, and hopes to move that to five in a row when she fights in January. No opponent has been named for McMann yet, but Pro Elite is currently searching and hopes to find a suitable fighter in the coming weeks.

Also scheduled for the Pro Elite 3 card will the semifinals of their heavyweight Grand Prix, which kicked off at their last show in Illinois.

The four remaining participants include Ryan Martinez, Jake Heun, Cody Griffin and Richard Odoms.

More fights are expected to be announced for the Jan 21 event in the coming weeks. The show will take place at the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii and will be broadcast on HDNet.

Full Fight: Eddie Alvarez vs. Michael Chandler

Seems like Bellator put the fight up so I'll post it.

You have to watch this fight.

I want to trade my race car bed for this

I saw this in my google ads. Reminds me how I used to play WWF with my brothers on the bed.

Fight of the night? Alvarez and Chandler!

If you missed the Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvarez fight you missed the best fight of the night. Alvarez is one of the best fighters not in the UFC right now and to be honest I have never heard of Chandler. If you haven't seen this fight you really need to watch it, one of the best fights I have seen this year.

Some people watched this fight on MMATKO along with the UFC. Don't do this, pay for all of your PPV fights and don't watch them for free on this site.

Fedor Defeats Monson, Faces Ishii Next

Fedor Emelianenko
Earlier Sunday morning (US time, Sunday evening Moscow time) Fedor faced Jeff Monson at the main event of the evening during M-1 Global’s “Battle of the Legends” at the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, as he was greeted by 22,000-plus people in attendance including the Russia’s prime minister Vladimir Putin at ringside, and many more around the world via PPV; from Japan and Korea to North America and Canada.

During the course of three rounds Fedor showed composure and patience while taking Monson apart round-by-round. As Jeff Monson had made several attempts for takedowns starting with some early in Round 1, Fedor successfully escaped each one, refusing to play Monson’s game, and returning fire with precise leg kicks and repeatedly delivering jabs and the right hands that dropped Monson twice in the first round and couple more in the second. Fedor did not go to the ground for the finish and allowed Monson to stand. Round 3 comes to an end with Fedor connecting more lefts and rights. Judges score a unanimous decision as Emelianenko (32-4) picks up his victory and breaks out of the loosing streak, while Monson (43-13) suffers his second loss in nine fights. During the post fight press conference, M-1 Global’s Vadim Finkelstein mentioned that Fedor will be meeting Olympic gold medalist Satoshi Ishii at DREAM’s big year-end event in Japan.

UFC Looks to Land in Hawaii in 2012

Dana White
Hawaii has always been known as an area that not only loves fighting, but produces some of the best fighters in the world.

Now it appears the state’s long wait for a UFC event to land on their shores is almost over.

UFC President Dana White on Thursday confirmed that the promotion is in talks to take a show to Hawaii in 2012.

“Next year. We’re looking at next year,” White responded when asked about the UFC in Hawaii.

The UFC’s schedule hasn’t been set for next year yet, but Hawaii has always appeared on the radar for the organization once the state commission there instituted a set of rules similar to those held in other areas of the United States.

Now with those rules and sanctioning in place, the UFC has an open door to land in Hawaii.

As far as where the event could take place, that’s still under discussion, but Hawaii is known for having many arenas that are outdoors and White says the company could be ready to embrace that type of show.

“It’s probably going to be outside,” White stated.

Hawaiian fans will of course be happy to hear the UFC is finally headed to their state, but what about the most popular fighter to ever come out of the area ending up on the card?

While White doesn’t rule out the possibility of B.J. Penn ending up on the Hawaii card, much like other areas of the world, a hometown hero appearing on the hometown show doesn’t make or break them.

“I don’t know,” White answered when asked if BJ Penn would fight in Hawaii. “It’s like that Canada thing when everybody thought Georges (St-Pierre) had to be on the card. It’s great to have him, but it’s one of those markets we’ll kill it with or without him.”

The positive side however is that Hawaii is finally going to get a UFC show and it’s likely going to happen in 2012.

BJ Penn on Diaz v. GSP, Retirement- INSIDE MMA Exclusive

Never say never, but don’t expect to see former two-division UFC champion B.J. Penn back in the Octagon any time soon.

Losing in three of his last five fights and drawing in another, Penn isn’t feeling the spark that once twinkled in his eye. After his recent loss to Nick Diaz at UFC 137, the popular Hawaiian said he didn’t want to do this anymore.

“I’ve got a daughter, another daughter on the way, I don’t want to go home looking like this. I’m done.”

Diaz left Penn bloodied and bruised, in a state no other fighter had ever managed.

A week later and Penn may have softened his stance, leaving the door cracked open, but he still doesn’t sound like he’s in a rush to get back in the cage.

“I kinda think this is something that I should have did after the first Frankie Edgar fight. Bunch of my coaches pleaded with me to step away from the sport, take some time off,” Penn told HDNet’s Inside MMA at the recent Pro Elite event in Moline, Ill., where he was supporting his brother, Reagan, for his fight.

“I don’t really like the results I’ve been getting. Take some time off. Take some time away from the sport. If I ever feel it again, I’ll come back,” Penn replied when HDNet’s Michael Schiavello asked if his retirement talk had been a heat of the moment decision.

Evidently, it had not.

“I don’t want to be sitting in the locker room saying, I can’t believe I’m still doing this.”

Kimbo Slice Joins The Ultimate Fighter 10 Heavyweights Cast

Dana White, the UFC’s president, has often criticized Slice for his lack of fighting ability. Kimbo, whose real name is Kevin Ferguson, became a cult figure by competing in street fights that were posted on YouTube. Kimbo’s backyard beatdowns drew tens of millions of views and led him to turn pro.

Dana has insisted he would not allow Slice to compete in the UFC unless he won his way onto the show by competing on “The Ultimate Fighter.”

Slice has manned up to the challenge and will appear on Season 10 of the Spike TV series, White has confirmed. Fighters live in the same house and train together, and then fight during the show in a bid to earn a UFC contract.

“The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights,” was originally to feature a cast of eight heavyweights and eight middleweights, but the UFC informed the middleweights who tried out that it was going with an all-heavyweight show.

UFC Quick Quote: Dana White thinks Fedor Emelianenko will eventually end up in the UFC

“I would never cross-promote. Regarding Fedor, he either wants to come over and fight here or he doesn’t. If he came over and wanted to fight I’d do a deal with him in a minute. You know we’ve been chasing him since we bought Pride. In my opinion, I think it’s going to happen. He’d be crazy not to. I mean, why not? He’ll come over here and make a bunch of money and maybe even win the title and go down in history as the greatest heavyweight ever. The problem is it’s one thing for everyone to say it, I mean I can say, “Brock is the greatest heavyweight ever” but they have got to fight. It’s the only way to find out. We can argue about it all day but in the end you just have got to get out there and fight.”

– UFC President Dana White tells EdgeBoston.com that he envisions Fedor Emelianenko becoming a possible addition to his heavyweight division. White and Co. worked hard to bring the Russian on board after the collapse of Pride FC; however, talks broke down when the parties could not agree on an exclusive fight contract. It would be a minor miracle if Emelianenko ever signed with the UFC … he and his camp appear to mix like water and oil when it comes to working with UFC execs. Stranger things have happened, however. In the meantime, Emelianenko is penciled in to fight former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett this August in the third — and perhaps last event held by Affliction MMA.

UFC 104: Mauricio Shogun Rua signs to fight Lyoto Machida in October

The 2005 Pride FC Middleweight Grand Prix winner, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, earlier this week did indeed sign a bout agreement to challenge UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto Machida, which will more than likely take place at UFC 104 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif., on Oct. 24.

SuperLutas.com.br was able to confirm the rumored match up with sources close to the Brazilian’s camp.

Rua is coming off a first round technical knockout of former 205-pound champion, Chuck Liddell, at UFC 97: “Redemption” last month. He defeated Mark Coleman via third round technical knockout in a lackluster performance earlier this year at UFC 93: “Franklin vs. Henderson” to earn a crack at the “Iceman.”

It’s perhaps not the match up that most fans expected, especially when UFC President Dana White revealed over the weekend that Quinton “Rampage” Jackson would be the first to challenge Machida for his newly-won world title. But that all went out the window a few days later when Jackson apparently pressed UFC officials to settle a score with Rashad Evans via The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 first rather than compete to get his belt back.

That left Machida — who flattened Evans at UFC 98 to win the belt — all of a sudden without a number one contender … until now.

Keep in mind that White did not announce the bout yesterday during a media conference call because he indicated that not all bout agreements were finalized. That more than likely means Machida — who is currently celebrating his big win on a beach near Belem — may still have to agree to the fight and formalize it with a signature.

We’ll keep you posted.

Ruthless Aggression: An MMAmania.com interview exclusive with Robbie Lawler

There are a lot of adjectives that appropriately describe Robbie Lawler as a fighter. Cunning, brutal, callous, and ruthless are just a few.

UFC President Dana White chose the latter and donned him “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler back in 2002 when he was just a twenty-year-old kid fighting in the UFC purely on heart and sheer determination.

Since departing the UFC in 2004, Lawler has gone 8 - 1 including notable victories over Frank Trigg, Murilo Rua and Scott Smith, while accumulating two belts along the way: The ICON Sport middleweight championship and the EliteXC middleweight championship.

Lawler’s competitive nature and fighting spirit continue to be driving forces in his career to this day.

The difference between then and now is that his skills as a mixed martial artist have evolved and he is a dangerous, well-rounded fighter who continues to be a handful for anyone who dares to step inside the cage against him.

Enter another former EliteXC champion in Jake Shields, who will be Lawler’s next test at the appropriately titled Strikeforce: ‘Lawler vs. Shields’ event that will be held in St. Louis, Missouri on June 6.

Robbie took some time out of his busy schedule to discuss his teammate Matt Hughes, his long layoff, Jake Shields and why he’s not thrilled about having to fight him at a catchweight.

Check it out.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): You just got back from Las Vegas where you were cornering your teammate Matt Hughes. What are your thoughts on how his fight with Matt Serra played out?

Robbie Lawler: It went pretty good. He won so that’s always a good sign. He won two out of the three rounds and he got the victory.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Did you guys go out and celebrate on the Vegas strip afterwards or did you have to get back?

Robbie Lawler: Not really. It was low key. We went out to a small bar and just kind of hung out and talked.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Do you fully expect Hughes to sign another contract and continue to fight?

Robbie Lawler: I didn’t know what to expect. Usually I don’t listen to what he says during his interviews. After the fight I was kind of interested on what he was going to say. I was kind of just waiting like you guys were.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): I want to briefly go back in time to the demise of EliteXC. If Strikeforce had not came in and bought your contract, who would you likely be fighting for today? Which organization was at the top of your list?

Robbie Lawler: I was just kind of waiting it out. We were talking to everyone and keeping our options open. Basically, whoever was going to pay the most.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): When you step in the cage with Jake Shields it will be about ten months since your last fight. Does it feel like twenty? What has the wait been like for you mentally?

Robbie Lawler: It hasn’t been that bad. I’ve had long layoffs before. I’ve just been training hard. The whole time I was off I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to fight anywhere else. I could fight in a week. I just didn’t know so I kept myself in pretty good shape.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Do you expect any rust or issues with cardio deep in the fight after this long of a layoff?

Robbie Lawler: No. I’ve been training hard and I should be ready to go.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): The HIT Squad gym you call home is less than ten miles away from where you’ll take on Shields in downtown St. Louis. Does this give you any kind of advantage at all or is “home field” irrelevant in MMA?

Robbie Lawler: Yeah, I don’t think home field really means anything in sports in general. I just think if you’re the better athlete or you have the better team you’re going to win and it doesn’t matter where.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Your opponent Jake Shields is known for having a world class ground game. Is the key to this fight your ability to keep it standing and play to your strength?

Robbie Lawler: That could be one key. I just need to be in good shape and I’m ready to go. I just need to be able to go three rounds and go hard the whole time.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): At the 182 pound catchweight, do you feel like you’ll have the size and strength advantage? Do you anticipate being able to push out of positions and bully him around a little bit?

Robbie Lawler: No, because the catchweight is not really good for me. It’s better for him. I’m coming down. He does not have to cut any weight. I have to cut more than I’m normally used to, but I don’t think it really matters. I’m going to be ready to go and ready to fight.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): The catchweight was something that appeared to be agreed on after the fact. Is that something you’ll try to agree upon up front next time if a catchweight is needed? What are your thoughts on how that transpired?

Robbie Lawler: Well the thing is they’re like, “Hey you’re going to fight Jake Shields” and I was like, “Okay we’re fighting him.” We did the press conference and everything.

Then my manager goes, “They want to do it at 182″ and I was like, “Why didn’t they say that in the beginning?”

Then he was like, “Do you really want to fight him on this? Is this something where you think you should make a big deal about it?” I go, “Hey, it’s not a big deal if they don’t think it’s a big deal.”

Now it’s at 182 and we’re all passed that and we’re going to fight. Yeah, I wasn’t too happy about the way it went down.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Do you think the winner of this fight deserves a crack at the middleweight title if you can pull Cung Le off a movie set?

Robbie Lawler: I don’t really care about any of that shit. I’m just going to be ready to fight. After that I’ll probably take a couple days off and start training again. Maybe a week or two after that I’ll decide what’s going on and where I’m going.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Are you going to try to fight again before the end of the year?

Robbie Lawler: Yeah I’m hoping to fight maybe two or three times before the end of the year. I had the long layoff and I want to make up for lost time.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Who are the others on the Strikeforce payroll you would like a piece of? Is the chance to avenge your loss to Nick Diaz high on your list of things to do?

Robbie Lawler: No he’s not on my list. I don’t have a list. I got past that fight a long time ago. I lost and it happens and I’ve moved on.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): That’s all I had for you Robbie. Anything you would like to say to your fans out there or any sponsors you want to thank?

Robbie Lawler: I want to thank Tapout and the HitSquad.com.

Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Alright, thanks again. Best of luck to you in a few days.

Robbie Lawler: Yep, peace.

KJ Noons down for a return to MMA and a rematch with Nick Diaz

“Scott (Coker) and I have been talking the past few days. I used to fight on Scott’s fight cards in San Jose ten years ago, so I’ve known him a long time … I never said I was giving up MMA, I just enjoy competing in both sports, I boxed since I was a kid and just love to box. I love MMA also, I’m just going back and forth. There is some bad blood, drama, and history between [me and Nick Diaz], so I think people would want to see it again. I’m down for it. I want to fight anybody that people think is an interesting fight. I don’t mind going up or down in weight. I’ll train hard and fight hard for the fans.”

Former EliteXC Lightweight Champion KJ Noons, who was forced to turn down a fight against Josh Thompson on April 11 due to previous boxing commitments, talks about negotiating his return to MMA with Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker. Noons also states that he’s willing to fight anyone the fans deem interesting. If that’s the case, I think there are a lot of fans clamoring for a rematch with Nick Diaz in the near future. Diaz lost to Noons back in 2007 via TKO due to cuts - and Diaz has since had surgery to correct that area of his face that was so easily opened. Noons vs. Diaz II — who ya’ got?

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY PROFANITY

[The illegal kick] was a mistake. Jacare calls me a clown and disrespects me all the time, headbutted me and opened a cut on my eye. If he could’ve done it to me, he would have. I’ll beat the shit out of him legally next time. What’s he gonna do? Submit me? LOL Kayo me? LMMFAO. Brazillian nuthuggers can suck my mother fuckin dick, that gets more pussy than any one of you could imagine, due to my MTV show, my good looks, and my tons of money. How is that for classy? Oh you know what, I don’t give a fuck what you think, I’m the fucking man. What was your down syndrome Brazillian gonna break? NOTHING. Bitch ass had me on the ground for 3 seconds. Let me get my bread for fucking him up in a rematch, and watch you all cry about how I “don’t respect the sport.” In the words of Dana White, “Fuck you you fucking cunt.” Go jerk off to TUF.

– Former Icon Sport 185-pound champion Jason Miller responds to criticism on The Underground following his no contest at DREAM 9 last Tuesday. His middleweight title bout with Ronaldo Souza was halted after an illegal soccer kick opened up a bleeder on ‘Jacare’ that forced officials to stop the bout. The fight was ruled a no contest and another rematch between the rivals to determine a more decisive ending seems to be the next logical step; however, it has yet to be officially announced by Japan’s Fighting & Entertainment Group. In the interim, ‘Mayhem’ seems content to battle his critics on the Internet. Where da monkeys at?

Jason Mayhem Miller ‘too hyped’ for Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza at Dream 9

http://mmamania.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/miller-jacare.jpg

“Got too hyped and punted Jacare in his head Wanderlei Silva style. Got deemed a ‘No Contest’ they hold the belt for a rematch. Dammit.”

Jason “Mayhem” Miller Tweet’s about what happened earlier today during his middleweight title bout against Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza at DREAM 9. The rematch was halted early in the first round because of an errant blow from Miller to a downed Souza. The strike carved a deep laceration to Souza’s head, which forced ringside officials to call off the match prematurely because of the severity of the bloody ax wound. The fight was ruled a no contest. Another rematch between the two to determine a more decisive ending seems to be the next logical step; however, it has yet to be officially announced by Japan’s Fighting & Entertainment Group (FEG).

Martial arts legend Adriano Emperado dead at 82

Long before the UFC craze came along, Adriano Emperado was teaching mixed martial arts in Kalihi.
Advertisement

Emperado, one of the founders of the martial art called Kajukenbo, died of natural causes last month on Maui. He was 82.

"You see how popular this MMA stuff is today? Kajukenbo was doing that in the 1940s," said Emperado's son, Clarence Luna. "All these MMA guys today are training in jiu-jitsu, judo, all kind different stuff ... my father had that idea a long time ago."

Emperado is regarded as an important and legendary figure in the martial arts world. From humble beginnings in the Kalihi-Palama area, he helped spread Kajukenbo around the world.

His son estimated "hundreds, maybe thousands" of similar schools in at least 33 countries around the world can be traced to Emperado's teachings in Kajukenbo.

There are at least a dozen schools that come under the official banner of Kajukenbo Self Defense Institute, including locations in Arizona, Nevada, California and Canada, as well as throughout Hawai'i.

"And then you get these others that maybe took some ideas from my dad's teachings and incorporated into something else," said Luna, who is now a grand master of Kajukenbo. "That's why I say there's so many that can be traced to Kajukenbo, even though they might not be called Kajukenbo."

Emperado is actually one of five founders of Kajukenbo. The others were Peter Choo, Joe Holck, Frank Ordonez and Clarence Chang.

They each brought black belt expertise in various disciplines to create the new martial art in 1947. They named it Kajukenbo because it combined "ka" for karate, "ju" for judo and jiu-jitsu, "ken" for kenpo, and "bo" for Chinese boxing (kung fu).

By 1950, Emperado started teaching the martial art to students at Palama Gym.

Jan Harada, executive director of Palama Settlement, said Emperado holds a significant place in the history of the area.

"This is the birthplace of something that has a connection to the rest of the world," Harada said. "In researching this, we found that Kajukenbo kept a lot of kids from the area out of trouble, and that alone is significant."

Harada said two Kajukenbo instructors from Texas came to Palama Gym last year because they heard it was Emperado's first school.

"They were taking pictures and asking about (Emperado) and the school," Harada said. "That was neat to see how it touched people so far away."

Sonnie Rodrigues, Emperado's youngest daughter, said she had no idea of her father's international influence.

"He was humble, so he never really talked about himself like that," she said. "I'm finding out now how many people knew him. It's amazing."

Emperado has also influenced thousands in Hawai'i.

John Pascua started taking Kajukenbo classes in 1957, and is now an instructor at one of the schools.

"It teaches so much discipline," said Pascua, 67. "Not just for Kajukenbo, but in your way of life."

Pascua said Emperado was a "very strict" instructor who emphasized mental preparation as much as physical.

"When (Emperado) was teaching the class, it was real rough — we didn't have the kind of mats we have today, so we used to train on the concrete," Pascua said. "But the thing I remember most is he always used to tell us, 'Think! That's why you have that head on your shoulders. Think about your next move, your attacker's next move. Always think.' "

Luna said Kajukenbo was — and still is — a defensive martial art. Because of that, he said the students rarely enter tournaments.

"We teach you how to defend somebody, not attack somebody," Luna said.

Still, Kajukenbo became recognized internationally as an effective martial art.

During the heyday of martial arts in the 1970s, Luna said Emperado was treated like royalty.

"People would line up to kiss his hand," Luna said. "And when they found out I was his son, they would kiss my hand, too."

Emperado stopped teaching classes about 20 years ago, but was still able to travel around the world because of his Kajukenbo connections.

"He would leave here with one plastic bag and come back with seven suitcases," Luna said. "Gifts from all his students and other instructors."

In the end, Luna said, Emperado was more than just a Kajukenbo founder and instructor.

"He used to say that being a teacher of Kajukenbo made him learn different jobs," Luna said. "Some days he had to be like a doctor, some days a lawyer, a banker, a bus driver ... everything you can think of. So, yeah, he helped a lot of people in a lot of different ways."
