Before I start into my rant, watch this video so you know what I am ranting about:

So Chuck Liddell doesn't know if he should retire or not.  He wonders if he still has another title run in him.  As if his inability to put together a sentence wasn't proof enough already, this settles it - "The Iceman" has taken too many shots to the head in the Octagon.  To refresh his foggy memory, Chuck should Wikipedia himself and check out his fight record.  He'll find that the only opponent he has beaten in the past three years in Wanderlei Silva via a split decision.  Meanwhile, during that three-year span he has lost five times, four via knockout.  He's been fighting for over 12 years, had 29 MMA matches and is 40-years-old.  Dana White says if he doesn't retire he will cut him.  And Liddell is questioning whether or not he's got another title run in him?!

EA Sports recently released more gameplay footage of their upcoming MMA release, this time a full fight video of Nick Diaz vs Shinya Aoki.  Check out the video and let me know what you think - is this game going to be better than UFC Undisputed 2010?

Here is the knockout that everyone is talking about - from Bellator 27 last night, Joe Warren vs Joe Soto for the Bellator Featherweight Championship.

The 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase always claimed that 'everybody has a price'.  Well, apparently James Toney's price to be humiliated in the Octagon is a cool half a million dollars.  Despite predictably putting on a performance that embarrassed the sport and himself, Toney walked away from UFC 118 as the real winner, pocketing $500000 for his troubles.  Which means Toney, along with Chuck Liddell, earned the highest appearance fee for any fighter that stepped into the cage this year.  UFC 118 better have sold one hell of a lot of pay-per-views. 

All told, Zuffa paid out $1608000 (the third highest total this year for a card) to the fighters at UFC 118 - here is the breakdown of who got what.  As always, please remember that this is only the reported purses that the fighters earned - it doesn't include any unreported bonuses, sponsorship money or pay-per-view earnings a fighter may have made. 

By all accounts, May's UFC 114 event went down a smashing success (unless, of course, you are a Rampage Jackson fan). After a long wait, fans finally got to see two of the sport's fiercest rivals go head-to-head in the main event, as Rashad 'Suga' Evans went up against movie star Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson. Additionally, the man everyone loves to hate, brash Brit Michael Bisping, squared off against the very tough Dan Miller. And Little Nog, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, got a very tough test from a last minute replacement, Jason Brilz. And, more importantly to the UFC brass, the event became one of their top sellers this year, garnering over one million pay-per-view buys. Now the company is set to rake in some more dough from it with the release of the ultimate two-disc DVD edition of UFC 114: Rampage vs Evans.
