It's time for another Asylum Fight League show!  On February 27th at the Trump Marina in Atlantic City, NJ, Asylum Fight League 26 will be taking place.  I will be in the cage as always, proudly ring announcing tomorrow's MMA stars as they fight their way into the pro ranks.

It's always great to watch these up and coming amatuers in action.  Asylum's promoter, Carl Mascarenhas always puts on a great show and makes some amazing matches.  I'll have more on this event later in the week.  For now, check out out the Asylum Fight League website.  These fights are insane!

Caught up with Matt Serra at Lou Neglia's Ring of Combat on February 19th.  Matt talked about beating Frank Trigg, Renzon's upcoming fight with Matt Hughes at Abu Dhabi, UFC matchmaker Joe Silva and more.  Oh and he out burps the legendary Superfoot Wallace.

Wanderlei Silva had a few moments last night that reminded us of his Pride days when he was an absolute beast.  At one point, after he knocked Bisping down, it appeared that he had to fight off the urge to soccer kick Bisping's head into the 8th row.

Cain Velasquez also showed that he's the real deal and this big KO win over the legendary Minotauro Nogueira puts him in title contention.  The UFC HW division is stacked.

I asked some some top UFC and WEC fighters at the ROC show last night about the Nogueira vs. Velasquez fight. Here are their takes:

Jim Miller: I think Cain's gonna have the control to beat him up.  I"ve always been a big
fan of Nogueira's but he's not the same fighter he used to be.

Renzo Gracie: I can't wait to watch.  It's going to be unbelievable. This kid Cain Velasquez is a very tough guy so Minotauro's gonna have his hands full.  But I like Minotauro a lot. He's been in some epic battles. I had a chance to be ringside looking at him perform in Japan back in Pride and then in the UFC against guys like Tim Sylvia. He's able to pull off victories when everybody thought everything was lost. So I'll be rooting for him. And I wish all the best to Cain valesquez, he's a very tough opponent.

Lou Neglia delivered yet another spectacular show last night.  We were treated to a some great subs, brutal knockouts and closely fought decisions.  There was also a who's who of the MMA world in attendance, including UFC stars Matt Serra, Frankie Edgar, Jim Miller, Pete Sell and Renzo Gracie.  The WEC was also well represented by Miguel Torres, Donald Cerone, Leonard Garcia and Cub Swanson.  Even Bellator was in the mix with their undefeated star Lymond Good.

Ring of Combat has produced 32 fighters who have gone on to the UFC.  That's something of which promoter Lou Neglia is quite proud.  The main event featured a fighter who both Lou and I think will be another UFC star in the future, Gian Villante.  Gian, out of the Bellmore Kickboxing Academy, took just 40 seconds to choke out Mike Cook.  Mike was a last minute replacement for the very tough Bret Kohan, who suffered a concussion in a car crash.  Bret will be back, possibly in April at ROC XXVIV.

Ryan LaFlare, also of Bellmore Kickboxing, won the 170 pound title with a KO of  Justin Haskins.  Ryan is another rising star in MMA and he's going places.

You can check out the complete results after the jump.  I'll have more on this show in a few days.

Getting ready to head down to AC for Lou Neglia's Ring of Combat XXVIII tonight. Another great card featuring some of the area's top talent. Lou's shows have paved the way for many UFC stars, including former UFC champion Matt "The Terror" Serra, who recently crushed Frank Trigg with an amazing first round KO.

I'll be recapping the event in the next couple of days, so stay tuned. Complete card after the jump.

Oh no he didn't!  Oh yes he did.
