Bisping Brings Two Birds to UFC on Fox Weigh-In
Michael Bisping broke out the double-bird salute for his 'fans' at the UFC on Fox weigh-ins. Bisping was announced by UFC commentator Joe Rogan, and he came out on the stage to a roar of boos and catcalls. Bisping slipped off his clothes, got on the scale and gave the fans this response: Does Bisping really mean that or is he just having some fun with the UFC fans here in Chicago? It's probably a bit of both. Here's the video of how it went down.
Rashad and Phil Davis Talk Trash — Technique
It's hard to steal the show from Chael Sonnen at a UFC press conference, but Rashad Evans and Phil Davis might have pulled off the feat yesterday at the UFC on FOX presser downtown. Rashad ranted rapidly about Davis' wrestling technique being 'trash', and Phil Davis used some 'Chappelle's Show' quotes to jibe the former light heavyweight champion. Evans and Davis will fight in the main event Saturday night from the United Center when the UFC on FOX airs at 7 CT.
Local Fighter Zings Bisping at UFC Press Conference
The UFC on FOX press conference featured some great zings between fighters -- some coming from fighters not currently in the UFC. Matt Giancarlo is an amateur fighter out of Gilbert Grappling, who has competed at Brawl at Bourbon Street and G2 Fight Night. He got the smack-talk rolling at the press conference yesterday with this exchange with Michael Bisping. In true Bisping form, he gives it right back. Giancarlo has trained with Sonnen at Team Quest in Portland, and he'll fight again locally in March or April. He'll eventually turn pro, and maybe we'll even see him on the same UFC ...
UFC on FOX: Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis Preview
The training camps are finished, the poorly-timed Sandusky jokes have faded away and the fighters will finally enter the Octagon. Rashad Evans and Phil Davis will battle at the United Center on Saturday night, with the winner getting the next shot at Jon Jones and his UFC light heavyweight title. Evans lives in Chicagoland and has family here, but that's not why I want him to win. Phil Davis is a very young fighter and he'll have other shots at a title fight. I want Evans to win because I love a good grudge match. I think most of the MMA community ...
Chael Sonnen MMA Stop Seminar Video

Mike Russow: UFC Fighter, Chicago Cop
It will be a battle of two former PRIDE fighters when Chicago's Mike Russow takes on Norway's Jon Olav Einemo Saturday night at the United Center for the UFC on FOX event. Russow is 14-1 as a pro fighter, suffering his only loss back in 2007 from a Sergei Kharitonov armbar at PRIDE 33. He has won all three of his UFC fights, including one of the all-time comebacks in UFC history when he knocked out Todd Duffee at UFC 114. Chicago fight fans remember Russow crushing opponents in local promotions like Adrenaline, XFO and the Combat-Do Fighting Challenge. He's also well-known ...
