Before today’s UFC 125 press conference Dana White and the UFC made a special announcement that UFC great and former light heavyweight champion Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell (21-8) has retired. The move had been talked for years really but today its official, Liddell will not be in the octagon as a fighter again.
Fans of “The Iceman” will be happy to know that he doesn’t have to look for a job after today. The UFC also announced that Liddell will now become the new executive Vice President of Business Development.
Liddell looked very uncomfortable at the podium while thanking White and Fertitta brothers for everything they have done. He even got choked up while talking and got teary eyed, knowing that he was retiring from the sport he loved.
Liddell will be missed as a fighter but he helped take the UFC to new levels as a fighter and will continue to help grow the brand to a higher point now as V.P. of Business Development.

Who will Brock Lesnar face in his 2011 return?
Just two months ago, former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (5-2) lost his belt to Cain Velasquez (9-0) at UFC 121. The first round TKO left the former WWE superstar battered, bloody and lying on the canvas.
In the two months since his defeat, Lesnar has been very low profile, almost to the point of hiding. Some of this is due to the three medical suspensions he was handed following the TKO that amounted to lofty 180 days pending clearance by an ophthalmologist. The very least Lesnar will be suspended though is 60 days for his left cheek laceration with no contact allowed. What this all Means is he is not really hiding but more or less healing and recovering.
The 60 day suspension ends today (December 22, 2010) which means if an ophthalmologist has already cleared Lesnar he could theoretically begin training tomorrow. Needing time to get back into training, work on some of the things he needs to improve and a proper training camp, Lesnar could possibly fight in May or June of 2011.
The bigger question then when will Lesnar return is who will the UFC put him against in his return. There is a short list of possible opponents but timing is everything:
Frank Mir – The two have already fought twice and Dana White was close to setting up the rubber match but fans weren’t too thrilled so Mir is rumored to be facing Brendan Schaub next in March. Mir is practically obsessed with fighting Lesnar again so a third fight is possible.
Roy Nelson – A Lesnar vs. Big Country match up has been talked about but with his contract issues being in limbo right now no one really knows when he’ll return to action.
Shane Carwin – A rematch here is a very long shot because Carwin is out of action till the middle of 2011 as he is recovering from back surgery.
Cheick Kongo – Last fought at UFC 120 against Travis Browne which ended in a draw. He hasn’t done well when facing the top level in the heavyweight division but might make for a good comeback fight for Lesnar.
Mirko Cro Cop – Out until April due to the medical suspension from his UFC 119 KO lose to Frank Mir. The fight might have been better if Cro Cop was like four years younger but none the less the match up would still be interesting.

Tito Ortiz’s “Last Chance” Moves to UFC Fight Night 24
It has been confirmed that the bout between Tito Ortiz and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira has been moved to UFC Fight Night 24 in Seattle. The matchup was originally expected to take place at UFC 128 in New Jersey but has since moved to headline UFN 24 on March 30, 2011. The night is also expected to be the premiere of Season 13 of “The Ultimate Fighter”.
Following his unanimous decision loss to Matt Hamill back at UFC 121, many speculated we had seen the last of “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” due to his inability to claim a victory in his last five fights. Ortiz still feels his career isn’t over and will look to show that come fight time.
Not only will the fans be looking for something exciting to happen when the two step inside the cage, so will UFC President Dana White. Fighters are now being held to a higher standard within the promotion. Each and every fight could be their last and for the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, it couldn’t be truer. If he is unable to show the dominance he had years ago, this will undoubtedly be the last time we see him inside the Octagon.

Donald Cerrone unhappy with WEC 53 win, wants shot at UFC's Cole Miller
GLENDALE, Ariz. – Donald Cerrone picked up a quality win against a notable opponent, but following the WEC 53 performance, he wasn't exactly in a celebratory mood.
Cerrone, a five-time "Fight of the Night" winner with the WEC, saw plenty of problems in his second-round submission win over Chris Horodecki.
More specifically, he wanted to beat the former kickboxer at his own game.

Top Five Televised Fights from Saturday
Last Saturday both the UFC and Strikeforce held live televised events that included amazing knockout, three round brawls plus the Mckenzietine, and that was just the televised portion. Both events could be seen on free TV and started one hour apart, over lapped each other for two hours.
Hopefully most fans were able to DVR one of them allowing them to see both events, if not you missed out. Judging by the ratings it which The Ultimate Fighter 12 finale averaged 1.7 million viewers to only averaging 350,000 viewers for Strikeforce, meaning several fans missed out.
For those of you that missed out on the action or for those that watched both events, here are the night’s top five televised fights:
5 - Cody McKenzie defeated Aaron Wilkinson by 1st round Submission (Guillotine) [Submission of the night]
You have to love Cody McKenzie, everyone knows he has a mean guillotine yet they all end up tapping out or passing out.
4 - Dan Henderson defeated Renato “Babalu” Sobral by 1st round TKO
It wasn’t a knockout the Strikeforce main event end with very brutal ground and pound by Dan Henderson.
3 - Ricky Story defeated Johny Hendricks by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
A Good back and forth fight between these two wrestling based sluggers. Johny Hendricks came in undefeated at 9-0 but left the octagon with his first professional loss.
2 - Robbie Lawler defeated Matt Lindland by 1st round KO
If not for Paul Daley sending Scott Smith forehead first to the canvas, Robbie Lawler’s knockout would be number one. He does get bonus points for stopping the assault once Lindland was out plus extra points for nicely laying Lindland’s legs out as well.
1 - Paul Daley defeated Scott Smith by 1st round KO
A knockout in this fight was going to happen but Paul Daley’s brutal knockout of Scott Smith was one of the best pure knockouts of the year.

Leonard Garcia defeats Nam Phan by Robbery
When you have Joe Rogan calling out the judges live on Spike TV during the event, you know things are bad. In the first televised fight on the Ultimate Fighter season 12 finale Nam Phan took on mega brawler Leonard Garcia.
The fight lived up to the hype and was a very entertaining 15 minute slugfest, but when is Garcia not in a slugfest. The “said” Robbery occurred when the judges handed in their scorecards, ruling in favor of Leonard Garcia via split decision (29-28, 27-30, 29-28). Everyone in attendance including Garcia was flooded when the decision was read.

Despite record, Bonnar is Hall-worthy
LAS VEGAS – There are dozens of fighters who have a higher profile in the Ultimate Fighting Championship than Stephan Bonnar. There are just as many with a better record and probably that many more with greater skill. He hasn’t won a UFC title and probably never will.
Few mixed martial arts fighters, though, have done as much to fuel the sport’s popularity and extraordinary growth than Bonnar, who makes a return to “The Ultimate Fighter” on Saturday when he meets Igor Pokrajac at The Palms Resort & Casino in a light heavyweight bout as part of TUF 12 finale on Spike TV.
Bonnar’s 2005 fight with Forrest Griffin in the TUF finale remains one of the seminal moments in the sport’s history. UFC president Dana White has frequently said the company may not have survived had Bonnar and Griffin not engaged in that epic back-and-forth battle that, in many ways, began to open Americans’ eyes to what the sport was about.

Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale Breakdown
As the end of The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck nears, the card for the finale is nearly set, except for the fights involving fighters from the show. It all goes down this Saturday December 4th, live from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Although the “official” WEC merge with the UFC isn’t supposed to go into effect until January 1st, this card will feature three bouts in the newly acquired weight classes. Unfortunately, the final episode has not yet been shown and fans don’t know the two finalists that will make up the co-main event but let’s breakdown the rest of the main card.
The first fight scheduled to take place is a Middleweight bout between TUF 11 alum Rich “The Raging Bull” Attonito (9-3) and Dave Branch (7-1). Since losing on the show, Attonito has put together a two-fight win streak and is taking a step up in competition here. Branch suffered his first loss back in July at the hands of Gerald Harris by way of a beautiful slam that knocked him out cold. With both men being strong in BJJ, this could turn into a grappling match with the winner being the man who can land the best punches.
