MMA superstar and reigning UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre has stated that he feels Kenny Florian will walk away with the belt after he faces B.J. Penn for the UFC lightweight title at UFC 101. He told MMA Weekly:

“I’ve trained with him two times and he looked really sharp. I put my money on him against B.J. Penn.”

Any who have been following the dramatic and highly-publicized feud between B.J Penn and GSP may question the authenticity of his comments, as the men have engaged one another twice in the cage and endless times through a heated volley of verbal sparring in the media.

Frank Mir: Brock Too Big For Own Good

Frank Mir feels that Brock Lesnar’s size is going to be a hindrance in their rematch. He says that he moves like a middleweight and will keep Lesnar off balance and confused. In an interview with Cagewriter, Mir had this to say:

“Honestly, I think big guys are easier to fight. They don’t move as fast, they get tired quickly and they’re not as technical.”

Frank will probably be around 250 pounds for this fight and Brock has to cut weight to make the 265 pound limit. We’ll find out a week from tomorrow if Brock really is too big for his britches.

It May Not Be MMA, But It Feels Like It

Great story here about a 72 year old ex boxer who beat the crap out of a young knife-wielding thug.  Story is below, from AOL news.

(June 30) – When a knife-wielding man broke into his home in England last August, Frank Corti was scared. But that didn’t stop the 72-year-old retired boxer from beating up the intruder and holding him till police came.
In his police mug shot, 23-year-old Gregory McCalium sports a black eye and a bloodied lip, courtesy of a man old enough to be his grandfather. McCalium was sentenced Tuesday to 4 ½ years in prison for the attack last Aug. 19 on the Corti home near Oxford, England, the Oxford Mail reported.
The judge told him he “got what you deserved.”
McCalium was a neighbor of Corti and his wife, Margaret, in the town of Botley and there had been an ongoing dispute over noise levels in the area, police said.

RIP: Alexis Arguello, The Explosive Thin Man

Never has a boxer lived up to his nickname than the Explosive Thin Man, Alexis Arguello. I was a big fan of his and his wars with Aaron Pryor are part of boxing’s folklore now. Alexis was very popular in his native Nicaragua and he was the mayor of a city there. Not sure of the details of his death, but his life will be remembered forever. He truly was one of boxing’s all time greats.

Alexis Arguello: 1952-2009 Rest in Peace.

And by the way, he looks kind of pissed in the clip. This does not bode well for Josh Barnett.
