Stefanie 'Supergirl' Guimaraes

Great interview with #MMA fighter Stefanie Guimaraes tonight. She combines good looks and strength (like a Carano/Santos morph) in one 20 year old body. Listen to the replay of 'Round by Round' and check out her websites www.nvusmma.com and myspace.com/stefaniegmma to find out more about her, her upcoming schedule with Strikeforce, Bellator fighting and a TBA bout on November 20th!

Click on the 'Round by Round' episode, which should be available on this player for another few days, or click the 'Side Kick Pro' link on the player to go to the archive.



Of course, tonight - Fedor vs Rogers. It's my (Mel's) opinion that Fedor, Miller, Sokodjou and Werdum will take the card!

Burlington Brawl VI, UFC and Strikeforce

Some quick notes for folks:

Burlington Brawl VI tickets are on sale now (here). The Brawl is November 14th at Memorial Auditorium in downtown Burlington, VT.

11/6- Strikeforce Challengers- California
11/6- PA Fighting Championship- Pennsylvania
11/7- Strikeforce Fedor vs Rogers- Illinois (CBS Television)
11/7- 8th Annual Casca Grossa Grappling Championship- Georgia
11/7- Reality Fighting- Ferocity (Kerr vs Nazare)- Massachusetts

More can be found here

With Carwin vs Lesnar put off until 2010 the UFC is counting on old standards like Couture, Ortiz and Penn to keep fans excited. But are any of these fighters "Headliners" still? Perhaps Machida vs Rua 2 would be the best bet to get fans excited...

What do you think?

Strikeforce vs UFC- could 11/7 be a turning date for the feud?

With the recent announcement that Brock Lesnar was going to have pull out of UFC 106 due to illness, the suddenly one sided feud with Strikeforce has a chance to become the WWE vs WCW of the late 90's and early 00's.. Strikeforce's signing of Fedor was the spark but this major pullout of UFC 106 has created an opportunity for Strikeforce to add their spark (Fedor) to some gasoline (Strikeforce's 11/7 event)...

Strikeforce has a chance to not only gain some11/7 event UFC followers but has a chance to bring in new fans to the sport completely. With the , featuring Fedor vs Rodgers, on national television with CBS, there is a HUGE opportunity for Strikeforce to make some big noise in the MMA world.

The Card features a number of highly competitive bouts including Fedor vs Rodgers, Mousasi vs Sokodjou and more...

Will this be the turning point in the big two MMA war? Will Fedor prove he is worthy of all his hype or will he fall short? Big questions that will be answered 11/7!

UFC judges should be arrested

because they just robbed Mauricio "Shoguin" Rua vs Machida. There is no doubt in my mind and the minds of those in attendance that Shogun won the fight. He was more active, He was incredibly accurate with his kicks and if you want proof just look at the ribs and legs of Machida that were bright red and full of welts even before the 2nd round finished.

It has to be utterly disappointing for Shogun who clearly was the aggressor, the more consistent and the more accurate fighter all fight long. If anything Michida's mystic has been blown away and the uniqueness of his style may now be more tempting for other strong kick strikers who will follow the path and plan that Shogun used tonight..

Again I had the fight scored:

49
46

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua!

Anthony Johnson

destroys Yoshida in the first round at 41 seconds with a TKO....

UFC 104

Ryan Bader defeats Red Schafer by unanimous decision in a preliminary fight at UFC 104 on Spike TV... Great fight, Both fighters had their moments but Bader came through in the 3rd and final round..

The Ultimate Fighter

Kimbo Slice, he of You Tube fame and CBS failure, took on Roy "Big Country" Nelson on the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter. Wanna know who won check out The Ultimate Fighter !

MMA Apparel- Picking the right ones!

With so many choices out there for MMA apparel, how do you choose what to get and what not to get? Well that question is as easy as this, get what you like, get what looks good and get behind those you want to support.


Don't be fooled into getting what "everybody" else is getting or buying what you believe is "supposed" to be the best. Get what you like and apologize to no one!

There are a number of bigger name folks who provide a great product at a decent price but we recommend two in particular. The first is Carnal Damage. They have a wide variety of products like: UFC, Pain Inc, Hitman and more. The prices are reasonable and the selection wide.

If you are looking for something a little more unique and designed around an MMA show, then check out our Round by Round apparel. Some of the items we have are:
