  FIGHTERS MUST BE CHAMPIONS IN ALL MMA STYLES 

  Practicing a single martial arts style is not difficult but now the knowledge of different martial arts styles is becoming the necessity of the fighters. The trend is leaning towards to the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and this is the reason that many sports person and players practice MMA. The number of fighters who are practicing MMA is increasing. The successful fighters now believe that no single martial arts style is better than the best moves of all other styles. The fighters now want to punch like a boxer, throw like a Judo expert and kick like a Taekwondo expert.

  Some fighters are good, but you never bet on them; some fighters may be weaker, but you enjoy betting on them, and some fighters may be rated so great by everybody else that you bet on them merely because of their reputation. In general you bet on fighters who have won your trust, as you feel safer while betting on them. You can become a trusted fighter in UFC only when you win consistently, which needs you to have learnt the best moves of all the different martial arts styles.

  Winning once is easy but to continue the serial of winning is difficult, and it could be possible only if you have reserved too many moves to apply on your opponents. You could continue your winning series in UFC only if you know the defensive moves against the attacking moves of different styles of martial arts.

  UFC Workouts
  The UFC fight styles are different for different fighters so the workouts are also different for different fighters. The UFC workout of the fighter Randy Couture Military press x 8, Bent rows x 8, Lunges x 8 for each leg, Upright rows x 8, Deadlift x 8 and Squat push press x 8.

  EDGAR TO BE ONE OF THE BEST 

  Frankie Edgar should be accepted among the best MMA fighter according to wishes of many fans. Frankie Edgar is being hailed for his style. He was overtly impressive during the match against Penn. He didn’t give him any chance to recover.

  In the four-round fight it was Edgar who dominated the proceedings against Penn. Since then he is being praised left, right and centre for his extraordinary skills. He is new MMA champion.

  However, many in the industry are not ready to accept Edgar as a champion. They talk about an earlier match with Penn when he lost it. There are mixed reactions over the burning issue. But there is no doubt to the fact that Edgar played well this time.

  He had learned some lessons from his earlier defeat. And he made sure this time that his strategies work. Form the time when both the fighters stepped into the octagon it was Edgar who had dominated the fight.

  That doesn’t mean that Penn meekly surrendered. He too tried his best to pin down Edgar. But this time it was Edgar who turned the table on his past tormentor Penn. And he did it with great success. But the time the match entered into the four rounds it was clear who the winner was. (More …)

  Silva Makes Most Money 

  He survived one of the worst beatings of his career but a payday likely well in excess of US$300,000 helped ease Anderson Silva’s pain.

  Silva held on to submit challenger Chael Sonnen in the fifth round of their middleweight championship bout at UFC 117 on Aug. 7 in Oakland, Calif. Silva was behind on all three scorecards before stopping Sonnen via triangle choke with less than two minutes remaining.

  The Brazilian mixed martial arts star made his seventh title defence of the belt he has held for nearly four years. On top of his basic purse of $200,000, Silva picked up $120,000 in bonuses for fight and submission of the night.

  Sonnen received $95,000, including his $60,000 for fight of the night.

  Those figures do not tell the whole story, however. The UFC does not disclose all its bonuses and top fighters like Silva usually earn a lucrative cut of the pay-per-view revenue.

  According to the California State Athletic Commission, the total ticket receipts for the event was $1,565,130. Attendance was 14,617 for the UFC’s first appearance in the Bay Area.

  But Silva (27-4) didn’t emerge from the bout with Sonnen (26-11) unscathed. He is reportedly sidelined until early 2011 with cracked ribs. The athletic commission wouldn’t release the medical report from the card due to privacy laws.

  Matt Hughes improved to 45-7 by choking out Ricardo Almeida (12-4) 3:15 into the first round of their welterweight bout. Hughes received a minimum of $260,000, including a $100,000 win bonus and $60,000 for the submission, for his first fight since being inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in May. Almeida took home $35,000.

  DEL ROSARIO SHINES 

  Del Rosario shined on Friday’s MMA beating his opponent in emphatic fashion. Del Rosario (10-0) took less than four minutes to dispatch Lolohea Mahe (4-2) with a technical knockout on Friday in the main event of the Strikeforce Challengers event in Everett, Wash. Del Rosario rocked Mahe with knees in the clinch and finished him with punches against the fence to provoke the referee stoppage.

  It was Del Rosario’s fifth Showtime bout on a smaller show, including two fights for EliteXC’s developmental circuit before joining Strikeforce. Going into the bout, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker characterized the Mahe fight as a “graduation opportunity” for Del Rosario.

  Fighters With the Hardest Punches in MMA 

  One of the great pleasures when you watch MMA fights is that, aside from being an exciting viewing experience, it is also a great way to learn a lot of things about MMA. For instance, if you want to find out who among the leading MMA warriors are considered as the hardest punchers, then you can get a good insight if you watch MMA fights.

  There is actually a long list of hard hitters in MMA, as traditional defense styles seen in boxing are not possible in this extreme combat sport. This is the reason why a lot of fights are usually punctuated by heavy bombs from the hardest punchers in mixed martial arts. Because of this overall situation, one can expect difficulty in determining who among the MMA fighters possesses the strongest punch. The search for the top punchers in the world of MMA must cover UFC, Dream, Strikeforce and Senguku.

  1. Fedor Emelianko – He is not really known to be a one-punch knockout artist, still, he is definitely one of those who can deliver a punch with extreme power. His triumph over Andrei Arlovski is one good example of the power of his fist. He delivered a stirring knockout through an overhand right while Arlovski was attempting a flying knee.
