damonster Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 UFC Press Conference Mark Lavin- blurcat.com reporter. Woah, I’m shocked with the press conference. Right off the bat Dana White announced because of the leak that him and Joe Silva were rigging fights, that they have stepped down. For about a good five minutes it was silent in the new with people taking in the huge news. Once everyone was over their shock, they started asking questions. Some of the main questions that were asked and answer are followed: Reporter: Who will be replacing you guys? Dana: We don’t know just yet. Reporter: What’s going to happen to Lorenzo Fertitta & Frank Fertitta III? Dana: Nothing, they didn’t know about what we were doing. Reporter: Will all the fights signed continue? Dana: Unless they get injured yes. Reporter: What was the last thing you did before you stepped down? Dana: Nothing. Reporter: What about TUF? Dana: My replacement will choose the coaches. Reporter: When do you expect your replacement to be up? Dana: By fight for the troops 2. Their were more questions that weren’t to important so I left them out. I wonder whats going to happen to the UFC now after that huge announcment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonster Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 New UFC President Announced. Mark Lavin- blurcat.com reporter. The UFC just announced their new president in a entertaining way. On stage Lorenzo Fertitta greated all the press to the press confrence. Wasting no time announced why everyone was there, to see who the knew UFC president is. Right after he says that Frank Shamrock, Steve Austin, John Doe, Christopher Miller & Royce Gracie. Then he introduced them, like we didn’t know already then said the sixth and final “contestant” will be him. Frank Fertitta III, came out next and took the mic, as Lorenzo sat down. He said that they are going to have the results of “TUP”, the ultimate president. He cued a video that was about an hour long that highlighted the whole “season” of TUP. At the beginning it described what the format of the season is & all that stuff. The format will is that they are given compitions & have to win it. The winner moves on to next “week” well the loser moves onto another compition, until their was one loser left. Some of the highlights featured signing fake fighters to the UFC, a UFC undisputed 2010 tournament, a race & many other stuff. Once their was one user left they switched to a live feed of the loser being carried away by security & screaming some random stuff. The order of elimintaions are Christopher Miller, Lorenzo Fertitta, Frank Shamrock & then Royce Gracie. The finals come down to John Doe vs Steve Austin. Frank Fertitta III said that it’s going to be a best 2/3 compition & the last one will be live. The first compition was a TLC wrestling match where Steve Austin had a hard time against John Doe, but eventually lost after John Doe was thrown threw a table. The second compition was a grappling match. The smaller John Doe was taken down by Steve Austin but was able to slap on a armbar triangle choke, a la Fabrico Werdum, and Steve taped out. As John Doe was celebrating Steve Austin picked up him and slammed him threw a table 1-1 now. Their was a small break before the final. When we entered their was only onechair left and a huge speaker on stage. Frank Fertitta said that the final compition was gonna be a musical chair game. Cue up the opening song for the UFC events. They both walked around the chair eyeing each other up until the song stopped. John Doe was standing in front of the chair and immediately sat down. They announced that he was the winner. Steve Austin picked him up and suplexed him threw a table at the end of the stage (that’s why it was there). After a few minutes John Doe stood up and walked to the podium accompined by cheering. “Thank You, thank you.” You can see he is “hurt”. “I am glad to be the new president of the UFC. I have big shows to fill, I mean litterly Dana’s shows are HUGE.” People start laughing. “Ok I better be serious. I’ll be putting together all the matches from now on. First thing first, because the korean zombie is injured, Mike Brown will now steep in for him. Next thing the coaches for TUF 13 will be Frankie Edgar & Gray Maynard, fighting at the end of the season in a rematch of their UFC 125 match. That’s about it for today, thank you guys and girls for coming.” Updated UFC Fight Night 23: UFC Fight for the Troops 2 Date: Jan 22, 2011 Location: Killeen, Texas Venue: Fort Hood Broadcast: Spike TV MAIN CARD • Evan Dunham vs. Melvin Guillard • Tim Hague vs. Matt Mitrione • Mark Hominick vs. George Roop • Pat Barry vs. Joey Beltran • Cole Miller vs. Matt Wiman PRELIMINARY CARD • Yves Edwards vs. Cody McKenzie • Mike Guymon vs. DaMarques Johnson • Willamy "Chiquerim" Freire vs. Waylon Lowe • Amilcar Alves vs. Charlie Brenneman • Chris Cariaso vs. Will Campuzano • Mike Brown vs. Rani Yahya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After last weeks UFC 125 main event of Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard for the lightweight championship ended in a draw, questions were being asked about what Anthony Pettis will do.

Clarity Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Interesting concept. Guess we may need to leave reality at the door though. For instance.. JD (or John Doe) took the money for fixing the Edgar-Maynard fight. He's as guilty as White and Silva even if he blew the whistle afterwards. That said though, this is the first Real World diary i have looked at so i guess it did draw me in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonster Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 UFC Fight Night 23: UFC Fight for the Troops 2 (The opening for UFC Fight for the Troops 2 starts.) Matt Mitrione: “Tim Hague is going to find out why they call me meathead. His return to the UFC won’t last to long.” Tim Hague: “I’ve had a bumpy ride with the UFC, but that stops tonight. I will not be released again & Mitrione is going to figure that out.” Melvin Guillard: “ Evan Dunham is going to figure out the being young is better then being old & I’ll show everyone why Melvin Guillard is called the young assaisn.” Evan Dunham: “I got robbed in my last fight, but this time I won’t let it go to the judges.” (A video package airs, showing all the highlights from the Main Card fighters.) Mike Goldberg: “Hello ladies and gentlemen & welcome to UFC Fight Night 23: Fight for the Troops. I’m Mike Goldberg here with my broadcasting partner Joe Rogan. Tonight we have a main event of Evan Dunham vs. Melvin Guillard in the lightweight division.” Joe Rogan: “Both these fighters are explosive and ready to put on a show. Evan Dunham is coming off of a loss to Sean Sherk at UFC 119 & won fight of the night. Melvin Guillard is coming off of a win against Jeremy Stephens also at UFC 119.” Mike Goldberg: “In our co-main event Tim Hague makes his return to the UFC against the ultimate fighter 10 cast mate Matt Mitrione.” Joe Rogan: “The fight has a lot of potential for ether fighter. With Tim Hague coming back to the UFC after being released from the UFC after his lost at UFC 113. Matt Mitrione was considered by many to have no talent during his time on the ultimate fighter, but has been able to string together three straight wins against top level competitors. His last fight came at UFC 119 where he beat Joey Beltran in one of the fight of the nights.” Mike Goldberg: “All the proceeds from tonight’s fights will go to The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund to support those who are suffering from traumatic brain injury due to injuries sustained during their service in Iraq and Afghanistan.” (A commercial airs featuring US army personal with UFC fighters, most of them former army man during this week. Some of the army personal and UFC fighters are talking to the screen a la UFC Undisputed 2010’s commercial.) Cole Miller vs. Matt Wiman Bruce Buffer: “We are live on spike TV, from Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas for UFC fight for the troops 2! Our first bout of the evening is in the Lightweight division. Introducing first, fighting in the blue corner. This man is a submission fighter. With a record of 17 wins & 4 loses. Fighting out of Coconut Creek, Florida. Weighing in at 155lbs. Cole “Magrinho” Miller. Introducing his opponent, fighting in the red corner. This man is a wrestler. With a record of 12 wins & 5 loses. Fighting out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Weighing in at 155lbs. “Handsome” Matt Wiman. When the fight starts our referee will be Josh Rosenthal.” Josh Rosenthal: “Are you ready? Are you ready? Let’s get it on.” Round 1: Mike Goldberg: (They touch gloves to start the fight) “Both fighters throw strikes, no significant damage is inflicted by either. Miller shoots in, looking for a takedown. He has the takedown! It's a single leg, and Wiman has to pull guard. Miller fires away with big punches, but Wiman keeps the guard secure and doesn't take any undue damage. Miller gets pushed back thanks to a butterfly guard, and stands, looking down at Wiman who remains on his back. Miller leaps over, looking to drop a flying punch! Miller hits it, but it was so wild that it didn't connect fully and Wiman is able to survive and pull guard. Miller begins trying to pass guard and get a better position. Advancing his position fairly easily, he passes to side control. Miller starts trying to work to use side control as a way to get behind Wiman. He rolls Wiman over a little...and slips behind to take the back! We pass the halfway mark of this round. Miller tries to set up Wiman for an armbar. Wiman stops Miller from applying it. Miller blocks an attempt to roll him off of the back. Wiman is in huge trouble now, as Miller successfully gets both hooks in. With both hooks in, Miller tries to flatten Wiman out for the rear naked choke. Miller gets the rear naked choke fully applied and Wiman has to tap out! ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD it’s all over!!!” Bruce Buffer: "Ladies and gentlemen, referee Josh Rosenthal has called a stop to this bout at 4:27 of the first round, declaring the winner via submission, Cole Miller.” Mike Goldberg: “Here’s Joe with Cole Miller.” Joe Rogan: “Impressive win their Cole.” Cole Miller: “Thanks.” Joe Rogan: “At WEC 53 Donald Cerrone called you out following his victory, how much of an impact did that have on your fight tonight?” Cole Miller: “None at all. We are living in the present, & the present involved me beating Matt Wiman.” Joe Rogan: “Do you want to fight him in the future?” Cole Miller: “Yeah, but he has a fight coming up at UFC 126. Anything can happen from here until the end of the press confrence.” Joe Rogan: “Laddies and Gentlemen, Cole Miller.” Pat Barry vs. Joey Beltran Bruce Buffer: “Our second bout of the evening is in the Heavyweight division. Introducing first, fighting in the blue corner. This man is a boxer. With a record of 12 wins & 4 loses. Fighting out of Carlsbad, California. Weighing in at 238lbs. Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran. Introducing his opponent, fighting in the red corner. This man is a kick boxer. With a record of 5 wins & 2 loses. Fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Weighing in at 220lbs. Pat “HD” Barry When the fight starts our referee will be Herb Dean.” Herb Dean: “Are you ready? Are you ready? Let’s get it on.” Round 1: Mike Goldberg: “Barry uses a feint to get Beltran off balance, but the nice sequence of punches that follow don't find their mark. Both fighters go to exchange blows, but neither hits a telling strike. They come together and strike, but neither can land a clean shot. Barry side-steps an attempted knock out right and hits a couple of hard rights! Beltran backs off quickly, I think that last shot really shook him! Barry steps in to capitalise and unleashes a right high kick, but Beltran is just able to recover and step away in time. Barry comes in closer, looking to attack from the pocket. Barry moves into the pocket. Beltran sees an inside leg kick coming and hits first with a solid left jab. Using head movement, Beltran slips past a left jab and counters with a jab. We move into the second half of this round. Barry uses head movement to cause a left jab to sail harmlessly by. Seeing a low kick coming, Beltran strikes first with a nice left. Slipping past a left jab, Barry hits a nice jab. Barry uses head movement to dodge a jab, and counters with a solid left jab. Beltran sees a kick being set up and uses that opportunity to step forward and hit a punch. We have one minute of the round remaining. Using head movement to slip past a left jab, Beltran hits a crisp left. Beltran dodges a jab, and fires back with a crisp left jab. Beltran tries for a left jab but Barry uses head movement to avoid it. Barry backs away from Beltran, creating some space between them. And that’s the end of the round” Round 2: Mike Goldberg: “And here we go, round two! From what we could hear of his corner, it sounds like Barry has been instructed to look to finish it in this round. A feint tricks Barry into dropping his hands lower, and he is almost caught out by a quick head kick. An exchange of strikes goes nowhere. Barry gets suckered in to stepping forward, and has to step back sharply to avoid an enormous knock out right. Beltran hops around from foot to foot, looking for an opening. Not letting Beltran settle at all, Barry comes in closer. Barry throws a right kick to the body but Beltran avoids it. Moving in closer, Beltran looks like he wants to strike from the pocket. Barry throws a vicious right uppercut first, but it just misses. We are now at the halfway point of the round. Barry feints rushing in, but withdraws. Beltran drops a shoulder, trying to sucker Barry in with a feint. Moving in closer, Beltran looks like he wants to strike from the pocket. Beltran can't get near enough to engage, Barry uses strikes to keep him out of range. Both fighters come in and exchange strikes, but neither does any damage. Going toe-to-toe, both fighters start exchanging close range strikes! The exchange is ended by Barry hitting a beauty of a right hand to the body. There's under a minute left in this round. Beltran avoids a body kick. Beltran looks to move in and stand in the pocket. Barry now has Beltran standing in the pocket. Time expires and we come to the end of round two.” Round 3: Mike Goldberg: “We are back underway! Beltran throws a right head kick but Barry avoids it. An exchange of strikes goes nowhere. Having stepped in close to throw their strikes, they end up clinched. Barry finds his dirty boxing smothered, and Beltran gains the dominant position in the grapple. Beltran hits Barry with some short strikes to the side of the head while grappling. Beltran is looking to get Barry in a Muay Thai clinch. He has it hooked, Barry needs to find a way out quickly. Using the clinch, Beltran hits a big elbow to the face of Barry. Pat Barry is looking really tired. Barry tries to get out of the Muay Thai clinch, but cannot. Using the Muay Thai clinch, Beltran blasts Barry with a big knee to the body! From the Muay Thai clinch, Barry eats a big elbow. That strike has opened up a small gash underneath the eye of Barry. Joey Beltran is looking really tired. Beltran finally loses his grip and the clinch is broken. We move into the second half of this round. Barry catches Beltran with a barrage of punches, although only a couple landed properly. The referee calls for a pause, he wants to check the cut on Barry. The doctor checks the wound, and doesn't take long to signal to the referee that it is only minor. The fight recommences! Slowed down by physical tiredness, Barry still looks to get in close and strike from the pocket. To counter, Beltran throws a huge right hand which doesn't miss by much. Beltran feints left, then right. Slowed down by physical tiredness, Barry still looks to get in close and strike from the pocket. He gets into range. There's under a minute left in this round. Good head movement allows Beltran to roll past an attempted knock out punch and hit a huge right cross that knocks Barry right out! ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD it’s all over!!!” Bruce Buffer: "Ladies and gentlemen, referee Herb Dean has called a stop to this bout at 4:27 of the third round, declaring the winner via knockout, Joey Beltran.” Mike Goldberg: “Here’s Joe with Joey Beltran.” Joe Rogan: “Awesome fight Joey & an even better victory.” Joey Beltran: “Thanks. I know we were going to put on a war and a great performance for the fans.” Joe Rogan: “Going into the third round it was seemed like the fight was tied up, did that helped you try and win?” Joey Beltran: “Yeah. Last fight came out on the wrong side of a decision, and tonight I didn’t want the same thing to happen.” Joe Rogan: “Anybody you want to fight next?” Joey Beltran: “I’ll wait and see who John Doe puts in front of me.” Joe Rogan: “Joey Beltran, ladies and gentlman.” Mark Hominick vs. George Roop Bruce Buffer: “Our third bout of the evening is in the Featherweight division. Introducing first, fighting in the blue corner. This man is a Muay Thai fighter. With a record of 11 wins, 6 loses & 1 draw. Fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Weighing in at 145lbs. George Roop. Introducing his opponent, fighting in the red corner. This man is a kick boxer. With a record of 19 wins & 8 loses. Fighting out of London, Ontario. Weighing in at 145lbs. “The Machine” Mark Homminick. When the fight starts our referee will be Dan Miragliotta.” Dan Miragliotta: “Are you ready? Are you ready? Let’s get it on.” Round 1: Mike Goldberg: (They touch gloves to start the fight) “Roop catches a right body kick and goes for a takedown, and gets it! Hominick pulls guard. Roop fires off a few punches as he catches his breath. Roop looks to pass guard and get side control. Roop isn't able to pass guard on this attempt. Hominick raises his legs and tries to get Roop into a triangle choke. Roop defends well against it. Roop smothers Hominick with his body by pushing forward and down. We go past the halfway point of this round. Roop throws a few strikes, but they are without venom. Hominick drags Roop in to close control, then hits him with a couple of short punches. Roop looks to pass guard and get side control. He can't quite manage to get past guard on this attempt. Hominick brings his legs up and tries to lock Roop in a triangle choke. Roop pulls free before the triangle can be locked in. We have one minute of the round remaining. The referee decides that there is a lack of progress being made and stands them back up. Roop is looking to get in close and strike from the pocket. Hominick now has Roop standing in the pocket. A quick exchange of strikes produces nothing worth mentioning.” Fans: “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Round 2: Mike Goldberg: “Roop steps back to avoid a barrage of big punches. An attempted body kick misses, giving Roop the opportunity to counter with a jab. Hominick feints an attack, keeping Roop on his toes. Roop chooses to shoot in on Hominick. Hominick sees the takedown coming and tries to move. Roop doesn't get the takedown, Hominick avoided it. Hominick is looking to get in close and strike from the pocket. Roop lets Hominick get closer. In the pocket, Hominick tries to get a knock out with a scorching right cross but Roop covers up. Roop shoots in, looking for a close range double leg. Roop drives forward and gets the takedown! Hominick couldn't quite stop it. Hominick winds up seated, his back to the cage, with Roop pressing onto him. We pass the halfway mark of this round. Roop tries to put Hominick into a guillotine choke. Hominick fights off the guillotine attempt. Hominick, stuck up against the cage, hits several clubbing forearms to the back. Roop pushes forward against Hominick, basically smothering him against the cage wall. Roop begins trying to get himself into a more dominant position. Hominick keeps Roop close in, not letting the mount happen. Hominick, trapped against the cage, pummels Roop on the back with several small shots, although they're more out of frustration than anything.” Round 3: Mike Goldberg: “Hominick uses a feint to set up a brutal leaping knee strike, Roop goes down like a ton of bricks!

Mitrione throws a barrage of big punches but Hague covers up and is no danger. Both fighters throw strikes at the same time, both miss.

Hague slips out of the way of a combination of short sharp punches. Mitrione slips past a left jab and fires back with a nice left hand.

Moving in closer, a tired-looking Mitrione apparently wants to strike from the pocket. Standing his ground, Hague looks happy to engage Mitrione in the pocket. Mitrione backs away to create some more space. We're into the final minute of the round. Hague avoids a flurry of punches. Hague counters a wayward low kick by catching it and shooting in for a takedown, but Mitrione stuffs it. From the looks of things, I don't think Tim Hague has much energy left. Moving in closer, a tired-looking Mitrione apparently wants to strike from the pocket. Seeing an opportunity, Hague goes straight for a takedown, but Mitrione is equal to it.” Bruce Buffer: "Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds we go to the judges' scorecards for a decision. All three judges' scored this bout 29-28, making the winner by unanimous decision, Matt Mitrione.” Mike Goldberg: “Here’s Joe with Matt Mitrione.” Joe Rogan: “4-0 now Matt, how does that feel?” Matt Mitrione: “It feels awesome.” Joe Rogan: “Going into the fight you knew that Tim Hague was coming back to the UFC, were you prepared to fight him knowing that he could lose his job again.” Matt Mitrione: “Yeah.
