Interview with MMA Legend Shonie Carter

A conversation with longtime MMA star Shonie Carter is . . . an experience. Just when you think he is completely full of himself, he will say something that lets you in on the fact that it’s done tongue-in-cheek. Right when you think his stream of consciousness is going nowhere in particular, he will say something unbelievably funny that ties it all together. H read more...

Fight Trader: You’re living in California now, is that where you do you’re training as well?

Rob Emerson: Yeah, for the most part down here in Orange County; I kind of just bounce around.   I hit up like four, five gyms through out the day, and then when B.J. (Penn) is in town for his fights, we train at this gym right by my house.

FT: That’s amazing.  So, he was your coach on the Ultimate Fighter (reality) show, right?

Interview with UFC’s Matt Brown!

Matt Brown made a name for himself during his appearance on the Ultimate Fighter reality series as a skilled, determined fighter who carried the intensity he showed inside the octagon around the house with him, brewing just under the surface, ready to be unleashed.  He made it clear that he was not there to make friends, or make a name for himself with a contrived star power persona full of funny quirks to allure fans that way.  No.  He was th read more...

The Ultimate Fighter 10 Season Finale

The conclusion to Season 10 of the Ultimate Fighter, the “Ultimate Finale,” was an action packed night.  Here’s what happened in case you missed it:

 First up, two former NFL players, Matt Mitrione and Marcus Jones squared off, with Matt chalking up an impressive win over the bigger and stronger Jones, keeping Marcus from getting him to the ground where Marcus has made mince meat out of opponents by overpowering them, whereas standing up, Marcus doesn’t quite have the chops yet.  He literally fell down like a big tree.  “Ti read more...

The Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 11

Highlights from this week’s two-hour episode of The Ultimate Fighter include:

Rashad and Rampage got in each other’s faces again, both times with Rashad being the aggressor. It would be great for Rampage to come out of “retirement” and beat the crap out of this guy.

McSweeney continued to harass Zak, this time writing something anti-gay on his head, and then locking him inside the bathroom. Other houseguests commented that Zak needs to stick up for himself, and after the bathroom thing he finally did, coming out kicking. M read more...

The Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 10

Here are the highlights from episode 10 of The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.

- Matt Mitrione continued his bellyaching about his phantom head injury, claiming that he had swelling of his brain. Everyone is annoyed with this guy because he either needs to fight or not fight, and it has nothing to do with any injuries and everything to do with his determination. I mean, there is something wrong with his brain, but if you have watched more than an episode or two, you know that it is apparent there was brain stuff going on with this fella read more...

The Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 9

Here’s what went down in the latest episode of Spike’s The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.

- Rampage continues to play pranks, this time sneaking chickens into the opposing coaches’ cars, and they pooped all over their interiors. Surprisingly, Rashad and his staff saw the humor on it, shocking even Rampage, and the two rival coaches seemed to be actually getting along laughing and chasing after the farm animals.

- The always-annoying needy crybaby Matt Mitrione (how any NFL coach put up with this guy is something that astoun read more...
