Pat Militich is 40 years old. But like Randy Couture, Pat doesn't let age hold him back. He made his return to MMA after a 2 year layoff and looked impressive in his comeback, KOing tough Thomas "Wildman" Denny at Adrenaline MMA 2. Pat rocked Denny in the first round, dropping him twice, but was unable to finish the Wildman. In the second round, however, Miletich wasted no time and banged Denny out of there within the first minute. Miletich has obviously been working on his hands. He looked great. After the fight he said:

"They say the last thing to go when you're old is your power. That's all I was looking for was to land heavy shots and hurt him."

Perfect execution on that game plan. Congrats to Pat Miletich!

A great fight has just been tentatively added to January 24th's Affliction: Day of Reckoning card.  MMAJunkie is reporting that the fight is almost signed, but that Affliction's Tom Atencio said it isn't 100 percent done yet. Still, things are looking very good for that fight and it's a great addition to an already stacked card. As things stand now, the main card looks like this: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski Josh Barnett vs. Gilbert Yvel Vitor Belfort vs. Matt Lindland Renato Sobral vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon Sweet!

A bet is a bet. As you recall, New Jersey's Nick Lembo and Mike Constantino of AMA Fight Club had a wager going on. If Jim Miller won an award last night, Nick would get to cut Mike's glorious locks, and in return would have to wear an "I Love Mike Constantino" T-shirt while conduction an official weigh in. Well, Jimmy did it. His fight with Matt Wiman took Fight of the Night award and made Jimmy $30k richer. And now Mike Constantino must pay up...not in money, but in hair. Hey Mike, can't wait to see your new do! Also winning last night were Josh Koscheck and Steve Cantwell. Josh took home KO of the Night for his brutal knockout of Yoshida and Steve Cantwell scored Submission of the Night for his bone-breaking sub of Al-Hassan, a guy who really needs to learn how to tap. Congrats to all the winners. Now, a little off the top? How about a lot?

"Ouch!" is all you can say about this. This is footage shot behind the scenes last night. You can hear Rogan, but it would have been nice to see his reactions. I wonder if his facial expressions would have matched the ones he was making while he watched 2 Girls One Cup. This is painful, folks.

Tonight Jimmy Miller fought for the troops.  And he didn't just win, he dominated.  Even after honeymooning in Aruba and taking the fight on just one week's notice, he completely dominated Matt Wiman, winning every round on every judges scorecard. Miller used determination, heart and skill to overcome his lack of preparation for this fight and it paid off big.  Like Jim said in his pre-fight interview: "After this fight people are going know who I am." They surely will.  Congratulations Jimmy!

Garv: What’s the plans for the future of AFL? Mascarenhas: AFL has been providing the springboard for am fighters to get to the Pros we will be expanding to other regions in New Jersey, including AC. Our 2009 plan is to announce our National Campaign. This has not been done yet but we are breaking new ground that will not be duplicated . We are trying to include as many camps in our expansion for the betterment of the sport, not using camps in order to profit from their blood,sweet,tears,sacrifice and hard work but include them in the ASYLUM FAMILY where they also part of it.Taking over the USA one state at a time. Sounds like a plan!  Once again, look for me at both shows, Fort Dix on Friday and Edison New Jersey on Saturday.  For more info you can check out the Asylum Fight League website. See you at the fights!

Thiago Silva joins a long list of fighters who are frustrated with Lyoto Machida's "elusive" style. And he hasn't even fought him yet. But the two are scheduled to clash at UFC 94, and Thiago believes that he'll be the first man to beat Machida. He intends to do this by keeping the pressure on. In an interview with Sherdog, Silva had this to say:

"The opponents who have faced him attacked and stopped; I’ll have a different gameplan. I want to see how he deals with someone who’s in very good shape and attacks him for five minutes over three rounds. I’m not underestimating him. He’s a great fighter, but I’d bet on me. I’m not here to joke around. I have my goals, and I’m ready to beat Lyoto."

And about Lyoto's style, Silva told Sherdog:

"Lyoto’s a fighter who runs more than he fights. He’s not a fighter who will knock me out easily. He scores points, and I’ll make it hard for him to score. I already faced the toughest fighters. I believe it will be more of a psychological fight than a physical fight for me."

Well, there you have it. Machida, aka roadrunner, has been making his opponents look as inept as Wily E. Coyote. We'll see soon enough if Thiago will be the first one to actually catch up with the elusive Machida--without the help of an Acme rocket sled.
