~World Extreme Fighter ~ MMA Fights, Girls and Action

Team Couture is building champions. UFC Heavyweight and fighting legend Randy Couture’s son, Ryan Couture is now fighting as well. Could he someday be the biggest name in MMA? Being trained by Randy Couture and others at Xtreme Couture, it is possible. Check out Ryan’s first win by Triangle Choke against Rickey Perez.

Georges St. Pierre is in the gym training hard for his up coming fight with BJ Penn at UFC 94. He believes that BJ Penn is the best challenge for him at this time and welcomes the match up with open arms. Checkout this short clip and see for yourself.

Wow! Womens MMA just keeps getting better and better. Some really cool person got pictures of Gina Carano and Tonya Evinger (another female MMA fighter) in bed together. This is hot stuff. Just like normal chicks, Gina and Tonya love to get drunk and go to bed together. I am not saying the did anything, besides maybe tickle fight and stuff like that, but it does make the imagination wander.

When you get all the way up to the top of the MMA food chain. You find fighters who are no longer looking for an easy match up. They aren’t looking for pushovers that will help them get a step closer to a belt or title. When you get all the way up to the guys who have had belts around their waists and have been called the best at one time or another, you will find a different mentality. These guys sincerely want to fight the best. It’s not a bout a belt anymore and it’s not about money any more. The guys at the top usually have had both already. Now they just want to absolute best in the business to see where they are at. Here is a quote from Frank Mir that highlights this point.

“I’d rather fight Brock than Randy,” Mir said. “Randy has been dealing with MMA for a lot longer and he knows how to fight off submissions to a greater degree than Brock does. Brock’s only trained for two or three years. I’ve been doing it a lot longer.

“But Randy’s ability to stop my submissions would be about the same as my ability to stop his takedowns. He’s been wrestling for 18 years - I’ve been doing martial arts since I was four, so I’ve been practicing for 25 years. For him to catch up on the submissions game is going to be one heck of a feat.”

For many people, it might sound stupid that Frank wants to fight a guy that has a better chance of beating him. Frank’s point of view is obviously different, he wants to fight someone who he can feel good about beating…. the best in the world.

Why is Don Frye such a bad bad man? Because he lays the smack down in a very serious way. Watch some of Don Frye’s best moments in MMA as he beats the crap out of other less tough Mixed Martial Arts Fighters. O yea, I forgot to mention that the song in this video is pretty funny. I apologize for the foul language.

The MMA fans want it and the want it now. We want to see Gina Carano fight Cris Cyborg. Unfortunately, Elite XC, the fight promotion company who was going to host the fight, that many MMA fans were itching for, has went out of business leaving Gina and Cris with out a home and a place to bang it out. While the UFC is in denial about how popular womens MMA is going to be, the rest of the MMA community foams at the mouth and prays for a day when Gina Carano can have here chance to get in a ring or cage with Cris Cyborg to see who is the toughest chick around.

Well, we may be in luck. Word on the street is that Gina and Cris may sign to a promotion company together! O yea, these two chicks want it as bad as the fans do. Here is a little quote from the super hot Gina Carano regarding the matter:

“I want to make (a fight against Cyborg) happen. My people are in touch with her, so we’re going to make sure we sign together for the same promotion.”

Need anyone say more. It appears that with any luck at all this fight could be a done deal. If there is not a fight promotion out there with enought brains to pick these two hot fighters up, they are more than welcome to fight live on World Extreme Fighter. Gina, Cris… give me a call, you ladies are more than welcome here!

Everyone wants to know when Tito Ortiz will start fighting again. They also want to know what organization he will be fighting for. Will Tito go to the UFC, Affliction or some other fight promotion? Tito says he just wants to fight for the fans. Here is a quick interview of Tito telling it from his point of view.

Everyone has been stunned that Urijah Faber has been beat by Mike Brown. A fighter who was seeming to be another untouchable super fighter has lost his WEC Featherweight Belt. How can this happen? Lets hear Urijah’s point of view in this ESPN post fight interview.

Holy smokes Arianny Celeste gets full mount on Ali Sonoma! The UFC has now officially proven they know how to make money in the entertainment business. It was a great idea to have full grown men fight each other no doubt, but now I think they are on to something even bigger… Card Girl Wrestling. Why watch some sweaty dudes roll around in the Octagon together when you can watch Arianny Celeste and Ali Sonoma lay the smack down on each other. While other card girls hold cards, the UFC Card Girls hold each other. It’s brilliant!

MMA has gained in popularity increasingly over the years. One of the bastions of MMA support is on college campuses. College students have been and continue to be enthusiastic fans of the sport. The college market is a continuously growing market for MMA events and products. College sports are a multi-million dollar industry in the US, and the market for college sponsored events continues to grow yearly. College campuses are full of eager young consumers who want to be thrilled and entertained by sports such as MMA.

The relationship between college and MMA has always been significant. Many successful MMA fighters have come from the ranks of elite college wrestlers. Imagine if MMA could tap into the school spirit and enthusiasm found on college campuses. The atmosphere surrounding MMA events is currently dynamic and nearly as explosive as ignited dynamite. Imagine this atmosphere mixed with the enthusiasm of school spirit. The market for MMA products would explode volcanically, similar to the explosions heard at “Death Valley or the Big House” or any other stadium on game day. Sports on college campuses are relievers of academic stress and are enjoyed by students with an almost religious fervor. If the sport or fighters themselves could tap into the zeal of college students the fan base would grow exponentially.

Despite the numerous economic possibilities located in the college market, few MMA organizations have sponsored events specifically geared toward a college audience with a few exceptions such as “Hughes and Gracie College MMA Challenge”. College students have themselves sought out MMA events and products and have become unsolicited promoters of the sport. College students have begun promoting MMA clubs on campuses and many students enjoy fight night gatherings. Let all of us who are MMA fans pray for the continued enthusiasm of college students, and for the visionary who effectively corners the college market. World Extreme Fighter recognizes the potential of the college market and effectively understands how to market to this audience. Through effective partnership this market can be tapped, benefiting all of MMA.
