M-1 Global's Selection Americas tournament continues on August 7th at Ballys in Atlantic City, NJ.  I'll be there, of course, doing in the ring announcing, and I am already practicing my introduction of the great Fedor Emelianenko to the crowd.  So pumped about this card and seeing Fedor.  Here are the semi-final match ups, along with some more tourny info.

War Machine, the MMA fighter formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver, has gone from one kind of cage to another, swapping his MMA cage for a prison cell.  Although his well documented legal troubles have landed him in the big house, it hasn't prevented him from doing what he loves to do most: talk about himself on Twitter.

In a "tweet" from last night, War Machine spells out what it's like to be a prison inmate.  He was originally isolated because of his fame, but he asked prison officials to put him in with the general population, where he now hobnobs with various murderers and robbers.  And he says he's much happier now.  Until he drops his soap in the shower, that is.

Here's his tweet in its entirety.

Bruce Buffer is looking more and more like a “ring game” announcer than a one-dimensional ring announcer.

Yes, he is famous for his “Buffer 180,” a side-snapping wonder of body mechanics that he executes during many of his pre-fight introductions. He explains his trademark move here.

But the Voice of the Octogon is also famous for occasionally dominating all 360-degrees of whatever No Limit Texas Hold-em poker table he happens to be sitting at.

LIKO 6 is in the books and we raised nearly a thousand dollars for St. Jude Children's Hospital,  a very worthy cause.  The fights were excellent and Kahl-One was on hand to put together a highlight that magnificantly captures the feel and excitement of the event.  I had a great time ring announcing and I'm already looking forward to LIKO 7.

Video after the jump.

The way Chael Sonnen's been talking, he'd better look great when he fights Anderson Silva on August 7th at UFC 117.  If Anderson beats him, all of Chael's quotes will be the addes insults  to the injuries inflicted on him by the dominant UFC MW champion.

Check out this video reel of Chael's choicest disses and diatribes against Anderson "The Spider" Silva.  When it comes to trash talk, it doesn't get better than this.

Jon Jones is in San Diego getting ready to headline the Versus card against Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko.  In these two video blogs he uses the bed in his hotel room (the presidential suite, of course) to demonstrate what he plans on doing to the Janitor.  Check em out.
