- Dan Henderson and Matt Lindland are going to court over the rights to Team Quest. That news was shared to you with a fantastic picture of old men in tights.
- Warrior, a new MMA focused movie, is getting very positive reviews. It's a good thing that they are having a 16 man tournament featuring the best fighters in the world. I hope those two brothers with the complicated past don't face each other in the finals! Oh, they gave that part away in the trailer? Well, I certainly hope they learn a newfound respect for each other after their fierce battle.
- Rick Hawn showcased a rare grasp on reality for a fighter, admitting that he simply did not do enough to get the win against Jay Hieron.
- Leland Roling argued that the UFC should keep Strikeforce around. Why do I have a feeling that someone on staff will rebut his article tomorrow afternoon?
- Mirko Filipovic says he's willing to fight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in Rio at UFC 134. That'd be a rematch of my favorite fight in MMA history, so despite Dana White saying Cro Cop wouldn't fight for them again I'm really hoping that it happens.
- Andre Ward gave a few quick quotes to ESPN about having sparred with Nick Diaz. I don't find his comments to sound like he has a ton of confidence in Diaz's boxing, but it's entirely possible I'm reading too much into it.
- Despite my generally not caring for Gus Johnson's NCAA basketball work, I find it hilarious that he is moving to Fox to do NFL work while staying on at Showtime to do combat sports work. Gus' NCAA work: generally beloved. Gus' combat work: generally reviled. But I still don't find the story as funny as I found this tweet from Darren Rovell:
Gus Johnson really just said this: "I'm excited about, to borrow a LeBron James phrase, taking my talents to Hollywood."
Then again, Gus Johnson interrupted some fantastic action during Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Orlando Salido by screaming "NUTS AND GUTS!" So I guess a classy quote about a career move was a bit much to expect.
