Bellator Fighting Championships announced the signing of noted Mexican soap opera star Roger Huerta to their upcoming eight-man lightweight tournament today. Known for his recurring role as an itinerant worker in “La Banana del Amor”, and for his gritty portrayal of Juan the Bumblebee in “El Beso de la Rosquilla”, Huerta last saw combat at UFC Fight Night 19 in September, where he lost a close split decision to Gray Maynard. But that, plus a loss via decision to Kenny Florian at UFC 87 and a loss to Ryan Schultz back in 2004, mark the only blemishes on what is generally considered an impressive fighting career, and Huerta is the first MMA competitor to grace both the covers of Sports Illustrated and Telenovela Weekly. “We are very pleased to have Roger Huerta join our 155-pound tournament,” said Bellator Mega Jefe Bjorn Rebney, who punctuated his excitement by throwing a sombrero to the ground and dancing around it with a rose in his mouth.

Liveblog: ROC 28 Part 5

Next up: Brendan Barrett of Brutal MMA and Joe Abouata of Wilkie’s Warriors in a heavyweight bout. Abouata is what you’d get if you crossed a human’s DNA with a Harley Davidson, but Barrett’s always been a tough, top-level guy. He comes out and establishes control early, getting the Wilkie Warrior down and grinding him throughout the first, and tapping him with a guillotine from mount in the second. The official time of the tap out is :45 of Round 2. The ever-popular Nabih Barakat of Serra/Longo takes to the cage to face the Armory’s Edson Barboza. Yikes. Barboza is definitely some kind of ringer, as he wades in and clips Barakat with a right and follows him down with some hellacious leather. Barakat is so messed up, he’s trying to work his guard even after the ref has pulled Barboza off, and Kevin Mulhall has to hold his ankles while Dr. Wulkan struggles to get him to snap out of it. The official time of the KO is 1:09 of the first round. It’s time for Brazil vs. Brazil, with Vagner Fernandes of Gold Team taking on Andre Gusmao of Ricardo Almeida’s School for Gifted Grapplers. As an aside, Gusmao is also a skilled capoeira practitioner, which enabled him to dominate when he fought in the IFL but availed him naught in his time in the UFC. It doesn’t avail him much here, either, as Fernandes rocks him with a right and proceeds to use his face as a punching bag. Yet Gusmao is tough, and he gains dominate position on the ground, flattens Fernandes out, and drops the hammer until the ref steps in at 3:25 of Round 1.

Predictions for UFC 110: "Insert Sarcastic Australian Stereotype Here"

Filed Under: ACC, Antonio Nogueira, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Ben Rothwell, Brock Lesnar, CA, Casino, Games, MMA, Michael Bisping, Mirko CroCop, Object, Other, Ryan Bader, UFC, UFC 108, Wanderlei Silva, america, b, blogs, book, career, champion, championship, d, days, defending, eve, event, google, ground, hot, ing, ispin, latest, live, night, octagon, predictions, rock, s, saturday, winning by: admin

G’day mate! Seems the UFC has ventured on down unda for their latest installment, and it looks to be a decent night of walloping for convicts and Americans alike. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez get to pretend that Brock Lesnar gives a crap about defending his belt, while the once-feared Wanderlei Silva and the once-relevant Michael Bisping get another shot at salvaging their waning career. So put another shrimp on the barbie, ’cause here are some predictions!

  • Mirko CroCop gets another shot in the Octagon, and as it’s not on US soil (and under the watchful eye of an athletic commission with a post-fight drug test requirement), he actually stands a chance at winning.
  • I bet Ben Rothwell thinks back on those days when he dominated in the IFL and gets all wistful and teary.
  • Keith Jardine’s still alive? Ryan Bader via ground and pound.
  • George Sotiropoulos may be a local, but Joe Stevenson will likely be the crowd favorite an account of him looking very much like a koala bear.
  • Bisping is young and despised. Silva is old and beloved. Ultimately, that means that the person everyone doesn’t want to win will win.
  • Velasquez is young and moderately liked. Nogueira is Nogueira, and he is going to kill him.

Observations From My Couch: UFC 109 "Ultimate Disgrace"

  • Pitting Randy Couture against Mark Coleman was about as awesome as when the IFL had that faded fighter take on that has-been in a superfight.
  • It took Matt Serra less time to knock Frank Trigg out than it did Robbie Lawler. Is it time for Serra vs. BJ Penn at 170? It was damn close when they fought at 155.
  • Congrats to Chael Sonnen for utterly dominating Nate Marquardt, and a huge congrats to Sonnen for actually proving himself to be a viable contender for the 185-pound title. The dude went from zero to hero in the span of two flawless fights.
  • Demian Maia… meh.
  • Paulo Thiago is legit. Or Mike Swick has started to suck.
  • Mac Danzig was tossed a softball and came ridiculously close to striking out.
  • Is it me or was Melvin Guillard the recipient of a gift decision?
  • One more loss for Brian Stann and he’s going to lose that GI Joe action figure modeled after him.
  • Did Rolles Gracie not know he was supposed to fight in the UFC this past weekend? Was his Octagon debut some sort of prank? Dude, do some cardio.
