		<description><![CDATA[Time to give some respect. I didn&#8217;t think much of Jon Jones&#8216; chances against Mauricio &#8220;Shogun&#8221; Rua at UFC 128. I thought even less of the hype surrounding Jones, including stories that he was already signing autographs as &#8220;UFC Champion 2011&#8243; prior to Saturday&#8217;s title bout. I thought he was more swagger than substance, that [...]]]></description>

Toronto BJJ regular Andre &#8220;Dida&#8221; Amade will be back in action at DREAM 13 on March 22. The Chute Boxe-trained striker will face former EliteXC lightweight champ KJ Noons.
Dida will be looking to end a three-bout losing skid that last saw him fall to DEEP lightweight champ Katsunori Kikuno at DREAM 10. Noons, meanwhile, recently [...]]]></description>

The result would not be the same the second time around, especially when you consider Liddell&#8217;s a bit past-his-prime and Overeem is about twice as big as he was when they first fought. Of course, you would never see UFC president Dana [...]]]></description>

Back in September, Matt Hughes signed a new multi-fight deal with the UFC with the goal of only facing big-name fighters. Whispers of Mike Swick and a rematch with Matt Serra came and went. Likely in part because neither fit Hughes&#8217; big-name requirement. Now, it looks like the former welterweight champ could face a true [...]]]></description>

I like it because Mauricio &#8220;Shogun&#8221; Rua wins in decisive fashion. Love the flying head stomps, soccer kicks, punch passes and knees and more knees. I also like it because Quinton &#8220;Rampage&#8221; Jackson gets knocked silly, and [...]]]></description>

If this turns out to be true it&#8217;ll be a surprise but not a shock: The UFC middleweight picture might be getting a whole lot clearer if the story that Strikeforce has stolen Dan Henderson away from the promotion comes to fruition.

I could watch Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic head kick highlights all day. In describing his powerful kicks, he’s said “right kick hospital, left kick cemetery.” In fact, his left leg could have it’s own 24-hour TV channel. Of course, it would all be reruns because that leg hasn’t done much damage since Gabriel Gonzaga’s right [...]]]></description>
