UfcHouston Alexander - First Class Brawler Most fans didn't see this as much more than a gimme fight for Jardine, but forty eight seconds later it was clear that Houston Alexander was going to be a force in the Ufc light heavyweight division.
It took just forty eight seconds for Houston Alexander to prove to the world that he belonged in the Ufc mix. If Keith Jardine wasn't a believer before the fight, he surely was one afterwards. Alexander landed a big uppercut, then didn't stop until the ref pulled him off.
After that fight, half of the Ufc fans thought that Alexander had something, a big, strong, athletic fighter with huge power in his fists. The other half didn't see enough to make a decision.
Alexander's second fight, against Alessio Sakara took longer, thirteen seconds longer in fact. Alexander got caught early, but laid a beating on Sakara leaving the fans in disbelief, but wanting more.
George St Pierre Gets Ufc Title ShotMatt Serra is out with a injury for the Dec 29 fight against Matt Hughes (the most dominant welter weight in Ufc history).
Hughes is a machine. And all the power to him! He had a ton of fans prior to the Ufc's Ultimate Fighter series where he coached and then came off as cocky and a bully. This was before Ufc got to where it was today. Myself and a buddy met him outside of Mandalay Bay by himself waiting for a cab. BJ ended up leaving Ufc due to "reason unknown". A lot issues with himself and Ufc and the title got vacated. Hughes recaptures it after that. com/hobbies-articles/george-st-pierre-gets-Ufc-title-shot-272382. html

MMA Fighter Dies After FightI also know it is not for everyone! I read somewhere that the attraction is waining a little bit even with the explosion of the Ufc. I don't see the sport leaving prime time any time soon, but I don't see it lasting any longer than the poker craze did. But who knows it might just replace WWE?
However recently the sport suffered a blow when a tragic death occurred. Sam Vasquez of Houston, TX may have become the first fighter to die from injuries sustained in mixed martial arts competition in North America.
Dave Meltzer, at Yahoo! Sports has a full article you can read on the tragedy.
I want to start by sending my sympathy to the family and have zero desire to make light of what happened. There is nothing that can replace someones life and it is a tragedy when it is cut short by a sport.
What I do want to explore is if this death is going to effect MMA in anyway.
Who is the Best Welterweight Fighter in the Ufc?While the Ufc has certainly upped it's talent pool with the addition of many fighters from the Pride Fighting Championships, the Ufc welterweight division has always been deep in talent.
In fact, our top two fighters each hold wins over each other and our #3 fighter holds the title. Hold on for a bumpy ride as I try to justify my top five Ufc welterweight rankings.
5. Jon Fitch is #5 on my top Ufc welterweight list. While the Ufc marketing machine has been busy promoting Diego Sanchez and Josh Koscheck, Jon Fitch has been slowly building what is the best record in the welterweight division. In fact, Fitch has not been defeated since 2002. He's beaten Luigi Fioravanti, Thiago Alves, Josh Burkman, Jeff Joslin and Shonie Carter on route to his current thirteen fight winner streak.
Randy Couture vs Tim Sylvia The BreakdownMarch 3rd, 2007 is the date that Randy "The Natural" Couture faces Tim "The Mainiac" Sylvia at Ufc 68 in Columbus Ohio. That's the date that Randy Couture wants to make Mixed Martial Arts history. Randy Couture is no stranger to the Ufc heavyweight division. He won the heavyweight title on two separate occasions. But, that was in 1997 and 2001. In contrast, Tim Silvia will be 30 years old and will need to cut some weight to fit into the Ufc's heavyweight limit of 265 pounds.
Tim Sylvia is primarily a striker, he uses his huge reach advantage (Tim is 6'8" tall) well.
