Frank Mir- A prodigy no more?

This is what frank Mir used to be before his terrible crash.

He beat that excuse of a champion Tim Sylvia who if fights any skilled fighter will be found out for what he is, lanky clumsy hick who only has reach to add to his MMA skills. C’mon Frank! He fights this Saturday at UGC 65 against Brandon the truth cocky Vera. Frank is struggling to return to form after some poor performances in the Octagon can he make a comeback and take Sylvia of his title.

Stephan Bonnar- Drugs Ban

I think Bonnar is a good-fighter, tough, hard and has lots of heart but he has not taken to the UFC like some of his counterparts. His war with Forrest was inspiring and one of the-most entertaining stand up battles I have seen in the Octagon but he seems to be missing something. Alot of people put his performances in the Octagon down to the fact he never changed fighting camps after the series of the Ultimate Fighter. Griffin did and look how he has improved into a more professional and finely tuned athlete. So therefore I am not all that surprised to see him go down for nine months on drug charges for illegally taking Boldione. Bonnar says on his site:

“I would like to apologize, and ask the forgiveness, of all my fans…including any MMA fans that may dislike me. About 3/12 weeks out from my Aug 26 fight with Forrest, I took a supplement called Boldione which I purchased legally on the internet in 2004. The supplement I-force Bold (which is exactly the same product) is still widely and legally available on the internet, and in health food stores. However, this supplement is not approved for use by the NSAC, and is therefore prohibited for use by MMA fighters. Unfortunately, the supplement produces the same result in a steroid test as the illegal injectable steroid Boldenone. “

The reason Bonnar took the supplement is because of an elbow injury he had which was getting worse and worse. He did not want to pull out of the fight. He was receiving frequent treatments from a chiropractor, a therapist, as well as performing nightly electro stimulation treatments (on a machine he purchased himself). He quotes “To be honest with you, it really didnt do shit.”I feel some compassion for Stephan but it was still stupid if he was not fit to fight he simply should not of taken the fight. Yes the fans would be disappointed but he would of made it up on his return to the cage where he would of been fit and drug free. Silly Stephan very very silly.

11/06/2006- Bisping out for TUF Final 4

Visa Issues Scrap Bisping from TUF4 Finale

According to UFC’S website. Michael Bisping’s first bout since winning ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ season three title will have to wait. The UK standout was scheduled to face Eric Schafer in a featured match on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ season four card this Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. No replacement bout will be added to the show, which features the middleweight and welterweight finals of TUF4

I am a little bit annoyed at this as we have been waiting since the ultimate fighter final to see Bisping in the cage again, well hopefully he will be back at UFC 66 or sometime soon!
