The Ultimate Fighter: United Kingdom Vs. Australia Now Official

The Ultimate Fighter is set to expand once again. After fourteen seasons in Las Vegas the reality show decided to give Brazil a try, and now they're going to go with a country vs. country format. BE's Josh Nason reported about the potential show last month, and now it's official: The Brits will take on the Aussies. UFC president Dana White tweeted about it a little while ago (he misspelled Smashes): @danawhiteDana White It's official!!! Ultimate Fighter is going to Australia. TUF Australia vs TUF UK "The Smaches" in Fall 2012 :) May 11 via Twitter for iPhone Favorite Retweet Reply The name of the show is a play on The Ashes, a cricket match between England and Australia steeped in history (info via K.J. Gould). Tryouts will take place in Sydney on June 12th and London on June 15th, and are open to anyone from 130 pounds (between flyweight and bantamweight) to welterweight (170 pounds). It has been rumored that Brad Pickett might be a coach for the UK side but nothing is set in stone yet. A lot of the details will be ironed out over time, but this should be exciting news for UK and Australian MMA fans.

Scott Jorgensen-Eddie Wineland added to UFC on FX 3

UFC officials announced an interesting bantamweight match-up on Friday, signing Scott Jorgensen and Eddie Wineland to a bout agreement for UFC on FX 3. The card is set to take place June 8 though a venue has yet to be made official while the organization waits for ongoing “Hometown Throwdown” competition to play host. Jorgensen (13-5) enters the contest coming off a loss to Renan Barao earlier this year. The defeat snapped a two-fight winning streak for Jorgensen coming after an unsuccessful bid to dethrone Dominick Cruz for the WEC bantamweight title. Wineland (18-8-1), meanwhile, is still searching for his first UFC victory. The former WEC bantamweight champ has lost to Joseph Benavidez and Urijah Faber inside the Octago while prior to those losses he had won four straight fights. Jorgensen-Wineland join Demetrious Johnson-Ian McCall and Dustin Pague-Jared Papazian as the only official fights for the card to date. PHOTO CREDIT – UFC

Demetrious Johnson-Ian McCall rematch official for UFC on FX 3

It looks as though UFC flyweights Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall will mix it up in early June though not on the Ultimate Fighter 15 Finale as had originally been rumored. According to an official announcement by the organization, the two 125ers will face off on June 8 at UFC on FX 3 with the pairing likely serving as the show’s headlining tilt. As before, the winner of the match-up will move on to face Joseph Benavidez for the UFC’s inaugural flyweight championship. The fight marks a rematch of their meeting from earlier this month where an official’s error resulted in a short-lived decision win for Johnson that quickly ruled a Draw once the scorecards were reviewed. However, the damage was already done by the point it was discovered with the mistake costing fans an opportunity to see the first “sudden victory” round in UFC history. McCall was on a four-fight winning streak prior to the pairing with Johnson and holds an overall record of 11-2-1. Seven of his wins have involved some form of stoppage. Comparably, Johnson is 14-2-1 and has never been finished though came awfully close in the closing moments of the third round against a showboating McCall. Among his most impressive past performances are wins over Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto and Miguel Torres. Along with McCall-Johnson, the UFC also revealed bantamweights Dustin Pague and Jared Papazian were set for action against each other at the summer show. A bout between 170ers Mike Pierce-Carlos Eduardo Rocha is also expected to take place. PHOTO CREDIT – UFC

Nick Diaz: Blazing A Trail....For Improved Fighter Safety?

Immediately after the Strikeforce event, the usually quiet Nick Diaz was active on his twitter account, posting a series of tweets in reference to the finish of the main event between Ronda Rousey and Meisha Tate: The refs are just as bad as the judges in this sport sad to see that go to far because of the ref — nick diaz (@nickdiaz209) March 4, 2012 Lol no one is acknowledging the ignorance — nick diaz (@nickdiaz209) March 4, 2012 From the first tweet, it seems that Nick is of the opinion that the fight should have been stopped well before Meisha herself chose to tap out. After a few of his followers responded with "what if you were in an armbar and didn't tap and the ref called a fight?" Nick followed up with the second tweet, suggesting that there was a lack of understanding of the rules. Given the (unfair, in this author's opinion) reputation that Nick has gained for being a complainer, some people might dismiss the tweets out of hand. But a quick review of the unified rules found on John McCarthy's website shows that Nick is indeed correct: The fight should have been stopped long before Tate begrudgingly submitted. You`ll have to follow the jump to find out why. Rule number 9 in the unified rule set that all Zuffa events are contested under covers the situation Tate was in: INJURIES SUSTAINED BY FAIR BLOWS AND FOULS: A) Fair Blows: If injury is severe enough to terminate a contest, the injured contestant loses by TKO. (I chose to bold the selected sentence)Tate clearly had suffered a severe injury to her arm before she submitted. The referee in question, Mark Matheny, had a duty to step in on her behalf to protect her from suffering a more serious injury. We've seen this happen before, when Herb Dean stopped a bout for the UFC Heavyweight championship between Frank Mir and Tim Sylvia, after Dean correctly noted that Mir had broken Sylvia's forearm with an armbar. Sylvia complained instantly and it is likely that had Matheny called a stop to the contest between Rousey and Tate, Meisha would also have complained. Such complaints shouldn't be surprising to anyone and they also shouldn't have anything to do with whether or not Matheny (or any referee in that situation) should have called the fight. Adrenaline has phenomenal pain-masking abilities and considering Tate was involved in a championship prize fight there is no doubt that she was fully immersed in the effects of the hormone. (After the fight she stated that her arm was "a little sore", which many took as a sign of her heart and toughness. I'm sure that she was singing a different tune backstage as the adrenaline wore off.) I suspect it is for this exact reason that this rule is in place: to protect fighter's from themselves when they are not able to do so. Like any good critic, Nick doesn't just stop at pointing out the mistake; he provides a solution: fighters should vote for refs Or have them all learn from big jon, get a blue belt train jiujitsu it's not that hard to learn basics — nick diaz (@nickdiaz209) March 4, 2012 It's a fairly reasonable suggestion. After all, a lot of mixed martial arts, and specifically submission grappling, requires first hand experience in order to fully grasp what is taking place. If you don't know what a particular hold looks and feels like, how could you know when an injury has taken place? We've seen countless fighters be rendered unconscious due to choke holds well before the referee realizes that they are out (Sheila Bird vs Kim Couture comes to mind). We've also seen referee's step in well before they should have (Mac Danzig vs Matt Wiman, for example). It takes a bit of dedication for one to become a blue belt in jiu jitsu, for most people at least a solid year of training. While that might seem like a lot of work just to be eligible to become a mixed martial arts official, when you consider the years of training and on the job practice required to become an official in other professional sports leagues, it really seems like small potatoes. When you consider the fact that not only are MMA referee`s responsible for conducting bouts in a fair manner, they are in control of the fighters physical well being, it seems like a no-brainer. A quick review of the current system for certifying MMA officials reveals that there is no standardized training system. In order to certify officials, you must simply gain permission from the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) to do so. John McCarthy`s C.O.M.M.A.N.D. course is recognized by the ABC, as is Herb Dean`s MMARS (Mixed Martial Arts Referee School). I found various other courses that were recognized by the ABC as well, including some that were done entirely online. Each course states that you must have martial arts experience but there is no hard and fast guidelines for how much experience, or in what kind of art. So the certification of officials is left up to the individual running the course. Now, I do not doubt that Dean and McCarthy are able to identify whether or not an official is ready to work MMA matches, but I have no idea if I can extend that faith to the people running the other courses. Either way, the time has come for the ABC to standardize the training of MMA officials into one system. I have no idea how well Herb Dean and John McCarthy get along, but as the two most recognizable officials in mixed martial arts if they were to combine their courses into one, complete with concrete metrics as far as experience and knowledge go, I`m sure they would have no problem getting the ABC to recognize it as the golden (and only) standard for MMA officiating. Until this happens, we`ll probably continue to see spotty work by the in-cage officials and remember, Nick Diaz won`t be around forever to remind us.

Bobby Green out of bout with Alonzo Martinez; Strikeforce officials seek replacement

As quickly as it was announced, the planned fight between Bobby Green and Alonzo Martinez looks to be off this coming Saturday’s Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine card. Reports have circulated that Green suffered an injury, forcing him out. Green holds a career record of 17-5, having won his last two fights in Strikeforce since a loss to Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante. “King” has won 15 of his 17 career bouts by early stoppage. Martinez would be making his debut for Strikeforce if officials are successful in finding a replacement on short notice. He has won eight of his last nine fights, and owns 21 submission wins in his career. MMAJunkie was the first to confirm the Green injury with Strikeforce officials. The show takes place January 7 on Showtime from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the main event, Luke Rockhold defends his Strikeforce middleweight title against Keith Jardine. Green-Martinez was slated for the Showtime Extreme-televised prelims card. PHOTO CREDIT – STRIKEFORCE

As with every major card, Bloody Elbow will be here for you with a live discussion and play by play of the night's happenings. The Facebook portion of the card kicks off at 5:45 ET/2:45 PT.

Dave Herman's latest drug test comes back clean, already has next UFC fight booked

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight Dave Herman may finally have some vindication in his failed pre-fight drug test fiasco for UFC 136. On Sept. 28, 2011, it was reported that officials from the The Texas State Athletic Commission had misplaced "Pee Wee's" initial drug test. Upon taking another test, the initial urine sample was found and tested positive for marijuana. Commission official tested the second test, which tested positive for steroids, forcing UFC officials to cancel his scheduled bout against Mike Russow that was scheduled for UFC 136 in Houston, Texas, on Oct. 8, 2011. Throughout the whole messy ordeal, Herman maintained his innocence and was adamant that he had ever taken any banned substance. Now, it seems that he may finally have cleared his name and the commission may have some explaining to do. According to a post on Facebook by his management team, Suckerpunch Entertainment, Herman took another test and the results all came back negative.Check it out: "He took the drug test again, and as expected, the result came back all negative! Therefore, his next fight is now confirmed! Yes I am talking about SP fighter Dave Herman!! Official from UFC: Ultimate Fighting Championship coming soon!!" Very good news indeed for Herman, but not so much for the Texas commission officials, whose double whammy boo-boo cost Herman a payday at UFC 136. According to his management, Herman already has a fight lined up, but no word was given as to who the heavyweight will face next. Herman was last seen in action at UFC 131 in a "Fight of the Night" performance against Jon Olav Einemo on June 11, 2011. The back-and-forth brawl ended in a second round technical knockout victory for Herman. "Pee Wee" got off to an impressive 15-0 start to his mixed martial arts (MMA) career and only has two losses to date courtesy of Choi Mu Bae and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou. Herman holds victories over UFC and PRIDE legend Don Frye and Ron Waterman, among others. Now that "Pee Wee" has cleared his name and is back in the UFC's heavyweight mix, care to guess who will welcome back the Team Quest member?

Thiago Alves vs. Martin Kampmann at UFC on FX 2, Diego Sanchez vs. Jake Ellenberger at UFC on FUEL TV 1

A pair of welterweight match-ups — Thiago Alves vs. Martin Kampmann and Diego Sanchez vs. Jake Ellenberger — were reported this past week, but it was previously unknown which events they would compete at. Well, it looks like we have some answers. The UFC has confirmed that Alves and Kampmann will face off on the second FX fight night card, which is believed to be titled UFC on FX 2. The UFC didn’t specify the exact date, but several reports have indicated that it would take place on March 3. The venue is still unknown. As for Sanchez-Ellenberger fight, MMA Junkie is reporting that it will headline a Feb. 15 card on FUEL TV. Nothing is set in stone yet, but Omaha’s CenturyLink Center is the leading candidate to host the event. Perhaps I missed something during the big FOX deal announcement, but I wasn’t even aware they were doing full live events on FUEL TV, just prelim specials and some overseas stuff. Apparently I was wrong. It’s kind of a bummer since I can’t get FUEL TV and I’m guessing the majority of you can’t either. It’s actually been a pretty big week for fight announcements/reports.

K-1 Grand Prix 2011 Update: Final 16 Cancelled, Final 8 Still Possible

If you've been following our coverage of K-1 and the 2011 K-1 Grand Prix, you already know what a mess the entire situation is. As we reported last week, the GP appeared to be cancelled after K-1's long-standing financial difficulties could not be worked out. In the days since, we've had a bit more news on the situation. First up, It's Showtime confirmed what we already suspected - there will definitely not be a Final 16 event for the 2011 K-1 Grand Prix. Originally scheduled for October 29 in China, that event has been officially cancelled. K-1 hasn't actually made this official announcement, or updated their website, but that is not a surprise given the way they normally deal with news like this. The announcement from It's Showtime was actually quite detailed, which was a breath of fresh air after a year full of rumors and half-stories. It's Showtime president Simon Rutz clarified that FEG, the parent company to K-1, is indeed bankrupt, and the K-1 name is now owned by Barbizon. He also reports that there are a handful of investors interested in rebuilding the K-1 brand - one from Korea, one from the US that Rutz describes as "an American company which also has big opportunities to bring the K-1 brand to high levels," and a third party. These investors are working with long-time K-1 president Tanigawa as well as Golden Glory head Bas Boon to finalize their deals. However, none of these investors can move forward without the signature of Kazuyoshi Ishii, the founder of K-1. There is a lot of interesting news to unpack in this statement. Bas Boon has some official connection to K-1. When the Barbizon sale was announced it was a not discussed, but not very well disguised, secret that Boon was likely connected to Barbizon. Seems that this is probably the case, or at least that Boon does have some official interest in K-1. Ishii remains an official part of K-1. Despite leaving the company a few years ago, it's been known that he has some involvement still. But the fact that he must approve any investors is a rather large degree of control that Ishii still holds. Despite this year's troubles, there still is hope for the future, as any of these investors could bring K-1 back next year or beyond. It's Showtimer pledges their support in making that happen. So with that, it looked like we could hold out hope for a future Grand Prix, just not one in 2011. But of course, with K-1, things aren't that easy. Anil Dubar, the trainer to Daniel Ghita who first announced that the Final 16 was off, now says that K-1 has told Ghita to remain in shape and ready to fight in December. The plan now is to skip the Final 16 and just have 8 participants take part in a one night Final 8 GP in December. My opinion on that? Wishful thinking on everyone's part. K-1 doesn't like to admit defeat, and I in fact predicted that this would be their next move when we talked about the end of the Final 16 last week. So expect another two months of rumors and fighters being strung along before the ultimate cancellation. And for the future? I will join in the optimism there. There remains a vibrant international kickboxing scene and great interest in the sport in Europe. If a smart investor can come in, clean house, and run K-1 like a proper business, working with camps like It's Showtime and Golden Glory, we could see the Grand Prix crown once again. Just don't hold your breath.
