Punch Drunk Hangover 1.21.08: A Lightweight King is Crowned in England

Posted by Bren Oliver on 01.21.2008

Read ahead for Bren Oliver's thoughts on the three fighting-Shamrocks' forthcoming frolicks, Evan Tanner stepping into the Octagon against Yushin Okami, Georges St. Pierre being a little oui-oui'd over Serra's comments about his French-Canadian heritage, as well as Oliver's reaction to the suprisingly good UFC 80 event, plus few laughs courtesy of UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Jason "Mayhem" Miller. That and more!



Good morning, afternoon, evening, or whatever in-between time it is that your eyes have found their way to the Punch Drunk Hangover! I'm here with another one-stop shop for catching up on last week's Mixed Martial Arts news. PDH - It's like TMZ, but with less skinny whores who are famous for no particular reason. For those of you enjoying a day off courtesy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., kick your feet up extra high for me. I also have a dream, but it involves Rachelle Leah, Ali Sonoma, a jar of sweet pickles, and togas so it's not appropriate for the ol' Punch Drunk Hangover. Let's move forward, shall we?

It's been a busy weekend both with the NFL Divisional Championship games, Roy Jones' win over Felix Trinidad, and, of course, the fireworks on display from across the pond in Newcastle at "UFC 80: Rapid Fire". The show exceeded my expectations, as I believe it probably did for most fans who tuned in, and it's for that reason I want to start off by recapping the event PDH-style.


From "UFC 80: Rapid Fire"...

Alessio Sakara def. James Lee - TKO - RD 1


Some have argued the stoppage in this fight was pre-mature, but I honestly had no problem with it as James Lee was doing absolutely nothing to defend himself. I think he was perhaps a little nervous in making his UFC debut against an opponent with Sakara's skills. It was a good showing for Sakara, another fighter who has found his way to American Top Team. I'm not sure he'll ever be a force in the Light Heavyweight division, but if he continues to improve his ground game I believe the tatted-up Italian could have a nice run in the UFC.


Antoni Hardonk def. Colin Robinson - KO - RD 1


Great work by the UFC production crew to show the straight left from Hardonk leveling Robinson in order to silence the naysayers who also felt the stoppage was poor in this fight. Robinson was clearly out of it based on his rubber-legged fall to the mat after attempting to stand back up. At 39 he is nothing more than a journey-man fighter who does not deserve another UFC pay day. Hardonk, on the other hand, looked decent in the seventeen seconds of action. His striking is good, but he's in the same boat as Sakara regarding his ability on the ground.


Jorge Rivera def. Kendall Grove - TKO - RD 1


What a shocking way to start out the day's action! Rivera looked to be in phenomonal shape and proved such in his humbling of Kendall Grove. He out-muscled him from the start and took advantage of every opening created by Grove's scrambling. After two knockout-losses in back-to-back fights against subpar opponents I think Kendall needs to take a hard look at his lifestyle if he wants to continue fighting in the UFC. He has enough natural talent to headline smaller shows, but if Grove ever wants to make his way to a UFC title-fight he needs to follow the lead of BJ Penn, his fellow Hawaiin, and start training like a professional.


Marcus Davis def. Jess Liaudin - KO - RD 1


Very cool move by Liaudin to carry the Newcastle United scarf with him to the ring. Too bad his performance wasn't on par with the world-class soccer club. I was not surprised "The Irish Hand Grenade" blew up the Frenchman with a punch and sent him dreaming of stinky cheese and hairy-pitted women. Davis, in my eyes, has earned the chance to fight a significant Welterweight opponent. He has won eleven straight fights, six of which were in the UFC, and I see no reason he shouldn't find his way into the cage against the likes of Karo Parisyan, Jon Fitch, or Josh Koscheck in the next six to nine months.


Wilson Gouveia def. Jason Lambert - KO - RD 2


Another satisfied ATT customer, Gouveia initially was getting all and more than he could handle from Jason Lambert, but as they say in Mixed Martial Arts, every fighter always has a "puncher's chance". Wilson found a way to connect on the button and drop Lambert, who I must say looked very good prior to ending up face-down on the canvas. He may have lost, but he performed well and could have ended up winning the fight had he paced himself instead of constantly rushing in.


Paul Kelly def. Paul Taylor - Judges' Decision


Mike Goldberg hit the nail on the head when he commended the first thirty seconds of this fight as being some of the most exciting in UFC history. Kelly and Taylor's exchange of punches, and a few kicks, had my adrenaline pumping and the crowd in attendance ate it up as well. The remainder of the bout was also entertaining and I like the future of both men in the UFC's continued expansion into the European market. Taylor clearly needs work on the ground, while Kelly's only weakness seemed to be his willingness to exchange strikes with an individual possessing Taylor's aresenal. At 23, and having a professional record of 7-0, how did this kid not end up on the upcoming "Middleweight" season of the Ultimate Fighter?


Fabricio Werdum def. Gabriel Gonzaga - TKO - RD 2


It was good to see Werdum come out firing. I think his aggression may have thrown Gonzaga off. While Dana White has said Werdum is now in line for a UFC title shot, I can't help but wonder where this loss leaves Gonzaga. He has looked relatively bad in two consecutive fights and may have been exposed as a one-trick pony with his highlight knockout of Mirko Cro Cop. However, Gonzaga is young and talented, so I honestly believe he'll find a way to learn from his losses and beat his next opponent.


BJ Penn def. Joe Stevenson - Submission - RD 2

A picture says a thousand words...





Now, here are a few more nouns, verbs, and adjectives relating to the fight...

This bout was everything it should have been and more! Does anyone have a whackier entrance song than BJ Penn? Moving on, it was great to see both fighters show up in amazing shape, and I truly don't think conditioning would have been an issue had the contest gone five full rounds. BJ Penn is definitely one of the "Top 5" pound-for-pound fighters in the world. His striking was good, as evident by nearly ending Stevenson's night before it began via uppercut in the first ten seconds of the fight, and he was a beast when the match went to the ground. His flexibility paid dividends when he was able to dig in and transition from back to mount, which ultimately led to the cringe-worthy display of crimson erupting from Stevenson's forehead. While the cut wasn't horrible, the blood reminded me of a similar situation Joe "Daddy" was involved in when he fought Yves Edwards at UFC 61. However, in that scenario, Stevenson was on the "delivery" end of the elbow and Edwards had his dome turned into a viscera volcano.

Back to UFC 80, it was good Stevenson's gash didn't cause the fight to be stopped, and I commend the officials for noticing the blood was not going into his eyes while standing and not in a dangerous position in terms of the fighter's safety. From the cut on, though, it seemed as though it was only a matter of time until Penn would secure the win and indeed he did. The better fighter stood victorious, but I think Stevenson's gutty performance is evidence we'll see him back in the title picture sooner than later. The showing of respect between BJ and Joe was a beautiful thing, both in the ring and backstage, and I was actually touched emotionally with Stevenson's outpouring of tears after losing. Again, this bout was everything it should have been and more...

In fact that's how I feel in general about UFC 80 - everything and more. I went into the event with low expectations, even questioning whether or not I would fork out the $50.00 and watch it live. In the end I'm glad I did, as "Rapid Fire" was one of the better PPVs in recent history.

All the matches were hotly contested whether in build or athleticism. You got blood, knockouts, upsets, and a hard-fought championship match between two of the best Lightweights walking the face of this planet. There was only one televised fight that went the distance and it was a fifteen-minute war. In fact, eight of then event's nine bouts made their way onto the broadcast thanks to the generous portion of early endings. "Rapid Fire", indeed! It was satisfying to see the return of an actual UFC Lightweight Champion and the proposed May fight between Sean Sherk and BJ Penn is going to be great both in delivery and build, as both carry an intense dislike for each other based on a recent war of words between the two. UFC 80 proved once again that a card's entertainment-value isn't always about the names on the marquee. And, personally, that's why I love the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.

Oh, and before getting into the "meat" of this week's column, here's another picture that tells the tale of UFC 80's main event. Make sure to look closely at Stevenson's forehead-region:





Now on to my humble opinion on a variety of subjects rearing their ugly heads over the past seven days...


The following medley of items were reported between January 14th, 2008 and January 20th, 2008:



The UFC has severed ties with a number of fighters who fans may remember from the sixth, and most recent season, of TUF. The following individuals were released from their UFC contracts without official explanation to the media from the company:

- Billy Miles
- John Kolosci
- Blake Bowman
- Dan Barrera
- Paul Georgieff
- Dorian Price


I can't say I was surprised by the UFC parting ways with any of these fighters, though I still wonder when Paul Georgieff urinated in Dana White's bowl of Corn Flakes. The kid was made to fight within days of finding out his cousin, and close friend since childhood, had met an untimely demise and then got knocked out cold for the first time in his career. As if those two experiences weren't trying enough, Georgieff was then paired up against seasoned veteran Jonathan Goulet at the Ultimate Fighter VI Finale (while his TUF 6 castmates faced off against comperable opponents - each other). I honestly don't believe any of the six fighters named in this news bit, or Brandon Melendez (Season 5) who was also released this past week, were skilled enough for the Octagon. The UFC's ranks are a much deeper place than they were after the first season of the Ultimate Fighter. I think giving these guys a chance to up their abilities before being thrown to the lions, while also getting ring experience, is likely the best thing the UFC could have done for their long-term careers. And, while the pay days may not equate to Zuffa dough, even the bit of exposure men like Barerra, Price, and Kolosci received on TUF will equate to a higher demand of their services and a bit more cash to boot.


EliteXC announced today that they have come to terms on a deal with Ken Shamrock, and his son Ryan, to multi-fight deals. They also announced that both Shamrocks will fight on the upcoming Cage Rage event that will take place on March 8th at the Wembley Arena in London.


I find it very strange to see a father and son both stepping into the cage on the same card. Also registering on the creep-o-meter is the fact the WWE used his son's name for a sexy female character who acted as Ken's on-screen sister during his run in the professional wrestling organization. What a way we've come since the days of "Leave it to Beaver", eh?

Both Shamrocks are at very different stages of their careers with Ken having started the downslope to his some time back whereas Ryan only has one professional fight under his belt. The one commonality I see between the two is that I have very little interest in watching either of them compete. Ken, of course, is washed up. Ryan, on the other hand, is cursed by his father and uncle acting like jackasses 90% of the time and being somewhat despised by the general viewing public. To compound my trepidation, he's also extremely young and, as previously mentioned, as green as a "Shamrock" of plant-variety. Unfortunately, his name doesn't carry the same sort of luck as a four-leaf clover. Making the jump from "Ken Shamrock Productions - Fight at the Falls" to a promotion like "Cage Rage" is like going from your high school baseball team to Double-A ball after your freshman season.


According to paperwork filed in Clark County, Nev. on Monday, Zuffa LLC, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has sued former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Randy "The Natural" Couture, in the latest twist in this ongoing saga.


As much as I respect Randy Couture, I actually am siding with the UFC on this one. I can see why Zuffa feels as though Couture has done harm to their organization. "The Natural" maintains he has done nothing differently than in the past as far as cornering Xtreme Couture fighters at various events, but think back to "HDNet Fights - Reckless Abandon" when he was very open about his displeasure with the UFC. He even participated in the post-event press conference. That's clearly more than Couture simply supporting guys in his camp. He used a rival promotion, while still under UFC contract, to "slander" the company. On the other hand, I also believe Randy could make the case the UFC has caused him "personal distress" and also dirtied his name throughout this entire process. Regardless of how the litigation plays out, at the end of the day we should all be watching these events through misty eyes. In the context of the sport, it's tragic to see the single greatest figure in MMA fall out in such a nasty way with the company who made him into the icon he's become.


According to Nevada State Athletic Commission director Keith Kizer, all fighters tested at UFC 79 on December 29 of last year came back clean when tested for drugs of habit (cocaine, marijuana, etc) and performance-enhancing drugs (including steroids).


The four key words in this blurb are "Nevada State Athletic Commission". Granted, they've busted numerous fighters for drug use, but as long as the California State Athletic Commission isn't involved then, good or bad, you won't see too many sweeping suspensions resulting from drug testing at Mixed Martial Arts events.


The much-anticipated 3/29 fight between the current 155-pound Strikeforce Champion, Gilbert "El Nino" Melendez, and challenger Josh "Punk" Thomson has been scrapped due to a shoulder injury Thomson sustained while training. His surgery is scheduled for Thursday, January 17th. There is no official word on when "Punk" will return to action.


With March 29th still being two-and-a-half months away, I'm hoping Strikeforce finds a way to bring in another opponent for Gilbert Melendez who I'm sure is looking to get the bad taste of Yarennoka out of his mouth. There are a ton of talented 155-pound fighters out there who aren't obligated to the UFC. I'd love to see Strikeforce try to bring in someone from Japan, though I think someone like Nam Phan may be more realistic.


According to a report from thefightnetwork.com, Justin McCully has elected not to sign the bout agreement he had been offered to fight Cheick Kongo at UFC 82, instead deciding to undergo elbow surgery. It is believed that this has now opened the door for Heath Herring to make his return to the UFC against Kongo in March.


Anyone else read this as, "Justin McCully would rather have his elbow cut open than lose at UFC 82"? I think it's safe to say he would have been dominated by Kongo. I actually find Heath Herring to be a more suitable opponent for the likely contender to the winner of the UFC Heavyweight Championship at UFC 81. "The Texas Crazy Horse" is younger and more experienced. I won't blink twice if he wins. Then again, I could also see Kongo laying on top of Herring for fifteen minutes with the real battle in the arena being the crowd vs. slumber, so I guess we'll just have to wait until March to find out how things play out.


According to various sources Joe "Diesel" Riggs is set to face off with "Smokin' " Joe Villasenor at the Strikeforce/EliteXC joint card to be held on March 29 in San Jose at the HP Pavilion. The card is set to be headlined by the long-awaited Strikeforce Middleweight Championship fight between champion, Frank Shamrock, and challenger, Cung Le.


First and foremost, I'm happy to see Riggs have an opponent lined up at a major show given his struggles as of late. "Diesel" was booked to fight at the botched World Cagefighting Organization event two weekends ago and was involved in a car accident the week prior. Secondly, I think Villasenor makes for a great opponent, and I expect these two to turn in a solid performance on March 29th. Each man hits hard and has a well-rounded set of abilities. This particular Strikeforce/EliteXC is shaping up to be very good and I would highly suggest fans out there find a way to tune in - especially when it will essentially be free via Showtime.


Ken Shamrock has an opponent for his debut fight in Cage Rage, scheduled for March 8th's card Cage Rage 25: Bring It On, and he's a Cage Rage veteran and fan favorite.

Shamrock is going to be moving up from his customary light-heavyweight division to fight at heavyweight against the UK's own, Robert "Buzz" Berry, a veteran of 18 fights, who has seen only one of his fights go past the first round.


Ken Shamrock enters this fight flying a "must win" flag. If he loses to Berry, he will be falling in defeat to a man who has lost three of his last four fights and is a relative nobody on the MMA scene. Imagine a situation where Ken gets knocked out by "Buzz" and Frank Shamrock defeats Cung Le three weeks later. How can they legitimately sell "Shamrock vs. Shamrock" as being competitive whenever the match eventually takes place? I think Ken Shamrock has a good chance of beating Robert Berry at "Cage Rage 25: Bring it On", but I would say a victory is anything but guaranteed against a guy who has won ten of eleven fights in the first round.


According to MMAWeekly.com, Evan Tanner will be fighting Yushin Okami as part of the UFC's first foray into Canada in April. Tanner's last bout came against Justin Levens back in April of 2006. As for Okami, after rumors were that he'd be heading to Japan, he resigned with the UFC and will face Tanner in April. His last fight came against Jason MacDonald at UFC 77 where he took a unanimous decision victory.


Okami is a tough draw as an opponent, let alone one to return to action against after a long layoff. The self-taught Mixed Martial Artist, Tanner, will have been out of action for nearly two years by the time he steps into the Octagon against one of the top Middleweights in the world. Okami is incredibly strong and well-rounded. If he beats Tanner it should solidify him as the top contender to either Anderson Silva or Dan Henderson (depending on how UFC 82 unfolds). Tanner winning would be a huge upset, though I'm happy to see that he's made his way back into the UFC. He is one of the sport's most entertaining personalities and is the kind of fighter it's hard to root against.


Diego Sanchez announced via his Myspace page on Friday that he will be fighting Roan Carneiro at UFC 82 on March 1st in Columbus, Ohio. Carneiro is 12-6 in his MMA career and is 2-1 in the UFC with his only loss in the UFC coming to Jon Fitch. Diego Sanchez is currently on a 2 fight losing streak after starting out his career 17-0.


MySpace once again makes an appearance as a legitimate news outlet. I've said it before, but I encourage all readers to seek out their favorite fighters' MySpace pages. It's a great way to stay current with what's going on in his/her career and life outside of the ring. Roan Carneiro makes for a tough opponent, but I think he makes for a great match-up in terms of getting Sanchez back on track in the UFC's Welterweight division. Carneiro is not an elite 170-pound fighter, like Georges St. Pierre, Jake Shields, or Jon Fitch, but he'd be a solid win for Sanchez based on his two wins in the Octagon and impressive Brazilian Jiujitsu. With Roan now training with the American Top Team crew down in Coconut Creek, I look for him to be an even better fighter who I think will give Sanchez a very real challenge.


Akihiro Gono has now officially confirmed his hand injury will not be healed in time for the fight with Fitch and has had to withdraw his name from competing. Gono is set to undergo surgery for his hand but no time table has been set for a return. No word on whether or not Jon Fitch still plans on fighting at UFC 82.


This is a shame, not simply because it means we'll be deprived of a great fight between Gono and Fitch, but also because it means fans will no longer be treated to a DJ Gozma entrance on a televised UFC broadcast. I would love for Karo Parisyan to step into Gono's place, as it would help determine a true "Number One" contender to the UFC Welterweight throne, but he is not expected to fight until April and accepting a bout with such important implications would not be wise on short notice. I wouldn't mind seeing Ryo Chonan in Gono's place to satisfy the lingering PRIDE vs. UFC geek still residing deep in my soul. I suppose Matt Hughes could also step up but I imagine he's still doing a little soul-searching before deciding to fight again, especially when the opponent is the caliber of Jon Fitch.


Frank Shamrock has confirmed that he will be fighting his adopted brother Ken Shamrock sometime in early 2009. Frank also revealed that the fight will be a Light Heavyweight bout, meaning Frank will have to move up a weight class.


March 2008 will have a major impact on "early 2009". Each Shamrock needs to win, Ken in Cage Rage and Frank in Strikeforce, before fans will truly start salivating over the prospect of the brothers duking it out. I don't think Light Heavyweight will be a problem for Frank Shamrock, and even if he doesn't make it to 205 pounds, I think his talent will more-than make up for the weight difference.


EliteXC officials have confirmed that popular female MMA fighter Gina Carano will not be participating on the upcoming February 16th EliteXC card that will be headlined by Kimbo Slice vs. Tank Abbot. There are rumors going around that Carano's camp and EliteXC officials are having problems currently causing Carano to miss the card.


It's going to be tough for EliteXC to schedule any sort of action with Gina Carano as long as "Crush" is on "American Gladiators". I imagine NBC wants to protect their investment, and their lawyers probably don't want to see her risking injury (to her face more than anything). Couple that with the other opportunities being on a prime-time show could bring and Gina's camp is probably on the same page as NBC's people. I believe we will eventually see the lovely Carano fight again but it won't be for awhile.


The UFC announced today that Fight Night 13 will be held on April 2nd and will take place in the Broomfield Event Center in Broomfield, Colorado. They also announced that the main event will feature two former Ultimate Fighter contestants as Joe Lauzon will battle Kenny Florian.

Also announced for the card is Stephan Bonnar against Matt Hamill as well as Karo Parisyan facing Thiago Alves.


"Fight Night XIII" is shaping up to be one of the best in the show's history. Lauzon vs. Florian, Bonnar vs. Hamill, and Parisyan vs. Alves would all be at home on a PPV undercard, so the notion all three are being offered for free is an extremely welcome prospect. I think the favorites will win in the trio of fights, but I expect all three bouts to be very competitive. It's also cool to see the UFC venture into Colorado where Mixed Martial Arts is growing in popularity at an exponential rate.


Ulrich Huppertz of the German website "Ground & Pound" has confirmed that Polish fighter Tomasz Drwal has an injured knee and has been taken off of the UFC 81 card. Drwal was set to fight David Heath on the February 2nd card. Drwal is currently 0-1 in the UFC with his loss coming to Thiago Silva.


*yawns* I wish Drwal the best in his recovery, but please wake me up when there is some real news...


UFC President Dana White announced last night after UFC 80 that Fabricio Werdum (who was victorious earlier in the night over Gabriel Gonzaga) would be first in line to get a shot at the UFC Heavyweight Title when a new champion is decided. Tim Sylvia is set to fight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for the vacated UFC Heavyweight Title at UFC 81. Continuing, White also said that Andrei Arlovski would be re-entering the Octagon on March 1st. He is expected to face an undefeated Jake O'Brien.


It's amazing how Werdum's showing against Andre Arlovski is seemingly wiped from Dana White's memory in announcing him as next in line for a shot at the UFC Heavyweight Championship! Granted, Fabricio did his newly-found Chute Boxe allies proud in his aggressive performance against Gabriel Gonzaga, but he has done very little inside the UFC to merit a shot at the title. Cheick Kongo seems most-deserving of the opportunity if he's able to beat Heath Herring at UFC 82 based on his win over Cro Cop. I'd even say the winner of Arlovski vs. O'Brien should be entitled to a championship bout before Werdum. By the way, I love the pairing of the undefeated O'Brien and "The Pitbull", each of whom is trying establish himself as the cream of the Heavyweight crop. It makes UFC 82 even more alluring.

On a side note, I find it rather depressing Mirko Cro Cop is no longer in the discussion when it comes to top UFC Heavyweights. I think I need to go sit in a dark corner and listen to "Dashboard Confessional".


After UFC 80 concluded last night, UFC President Dana White announced that BJ Penn will defend his UFC Lightweight Title against Sean Sherk at an unannounced UFC event in May. White then said if Penn can defeat Sherk in May that he could see Penn moving back up to Welterweight to fight Georges St. Pierre.


I think Dana White is playing with fire if he's seriously entertaining the thought of BJ Penn fighting Georges St. Pierre. While it would be fun for fans to see the two square off again, especially with each being a UFC Champion, it would do little good in terms of the organization's interests outside of the money it would no doubt bring in. If Penn were to win it would somewhat discredit the Welterweight division, and Georges St. Pierre, giving the perception each was inferior to a smaller man. If GSP were to beat BJ Penn for a second time, he would be doing nothing more than what most fans would have expected him to do given the weight difference and previous fight's results. I have to assume this also would be an exhibition of sorts as there is no way St. Pierre can compete at 155-pounds were he to somehow win the UFC Lightweight Championship by beating Penn.


Jibber-Jabber:

The following soundbytes were delivered over the past week...

Georges St. Pierre on Matt Serra's trash-talk...

"We'll see if he's as good at fighting as he is at talking, I have respect for him, but he has said a lot of things about me. I will let my fists do the talking next time I fight him. I've never answered him back. Next time I fight him, he's going to feel it."

"He said I was giving excuses. Which is bad. I shouldn't say those things. But I did. He said, ‘aw Frenchy, go back to your red wine and hockey game.' I'm a Frenchy guy … okay man, we'll see next time. I never answered back to him, but I'm going to let my fist answer back next time. He's not my friend. I had a good relationship with him. He's a nice guy, he was a nice guy, until he crossed the line. Perfect. It's going to be a different story next time."


Crap! I knew I shouldn't have sent Georges St. Pierre a "Pepe Le Pew" doll and a "Jerry Lewis' Greatest Hits" CD! And here I was thinking the hulking bald figure who has been following me around was just a misguided, but passionate, fan of the Punch Drunk Hangover...

But seriously, I don't understand why St. Pierre is so upset over Matt Serra calling him "Frenchy". I think it could in fact be a bad thing as GSP's main fault leading up to his UFC Welterweight Championship loss to Serra was related to his mental state. The last thing he needs to do come UFC 83 in Montreal is enter the Octagon with his mind on a personal vendetta. He cannot lack proper focus if he plans to avenge the TKO at UFC 69 and take back the Welterweight gold.
