Japanese UFC Manga is Brilliantly Epic
This great Japanese blog has some manga up from recent UFC fights and it's positively brilliant on many levels. I have no idea what it says, but you get the point and Manga is read from right to left for anyone that knows any japanese and never read a Manga.

Wanderlei Silva Has Knee Surgery, Says He Will Be Champion One Day
When you speak to a hardcore MMA fan like myself and you happen to mention Wanderlei Silva be prepared for the constant praising that goes on afterwards. To any hardcore fan really, "The Axe Murderer" has a special place in all our hearts and here's hoping to a speedy recovery to a man that makes visions of soccer kicks and head stomps dance in my head.

The Chael Sonnen Highlight Video that Has No Fighting and Needs No Fighting
Watch this collection of Chael Sonnen's verbal assaults on Anderson Silva. Has there ever been another fighter to market himself so brilliantly? Just think back to February 21st 2009 when Demian Maia lateral dropped him and subsequently put a nasty triangle on him to end the fight. At that point did you ever think that Sonnen would ever fight for a title in the UFC? I didn't.

If you've never seen the masterful Marcelo Garcia before stop what you're doing and spend the rest of the night youtubing this man. He is considered by anyone that knows anything about no-gi jiu-jitsu to be the absolute best. If you can appreciate the intricacies of grappling then nobody compares to Marcelo Garcia. He is like "Rain Man" on the mats, without the mental illness. Here he is schooling Ben Askren. Look for what is described on youtube as a behind-the-back bonanza choke at the end.

UFC 117 Conference Call Has All Kinds of Hilarity
Anderson Silva gives one word responses and makes everyone feel uncomfortable. Cage Writer sums it up best.
Showing once again he doesn't get it, the UFC middleweight champ made gave plenty of one-word answers and mocked most of the questions. It's the fight game. Part of your job is to sell the fight and in doing so raise your own profile. It's fine Silva's a jerk, we get that. But at least embrace it.
Middle Easy puts together all the highlights of Chael Sonnen's craziness.
