Alan BelcherComing into this fight UFC Middleweight Alan Belcher knows this is another huge test for him against a top-flight opponent in Yoshihiro Akiyama. Akiyama has fought primarily in Japan his whole career. He signed with the UFC earlier this year and will be making his UFC debut at 100. “A win against him will get me closer to becoming a top five guy and a shot at the title,” says a confident Belcher. Training with top guys like UFC heavyweight prospect Pat Barry has made him feel like he will have no problem with Akiyama. “When it comes to standing, I have a lot of range that is going to be difficult for him to deal with. I do not think he is going to give me any trouble on the feet. I am ready for him to come out and try to take me down,” he states.

Why taking it slow is the right approach for this heavy prospect

 

Standing at 6’1” tall and weighing in at a solid 255lbs, Pro Wrestler-turned mixed martial artist Bobby Lashley is an imposing physical specimen in the heavyweight division. He may be smaller than his UFC counterpart Brock Lesnar, but Lashley already holds almost as much ring time as the UFC Heavyweight Champion and is looking to keep his unbeaten streak alive before heading to the big leagues sometime next year.

In what will surely go down as one of the biggest news weeks in mixed martial arts history, Affliction Entertainment yesterday announced that they had agreed to cease operations as a fight promoter and have renegotiated to come back to the UFC as an official fighter sponsor.

The surprising news came on the heels of main event fighter Josh Barnet testing positive a few days ago for a banned substance and being forced out of his clash with reigning WAMMA Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko. While Barnett’s removal from the card certainly hit the promotion hard, several reports surfaced in the following hours that other fighters, most notably former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort as well as Strikeforce heavyweight prospect Brett Rogers had thrown their names into the running to fight Emelianenko.

 UFC 100In what had been billed as the greatest night in UFC history, we see several blockbuster fighters come together for a phenominal night of serious ass kicking. Preceding the event was 2 days of autograph signing, merchandise shopping, and all around fun at the first UFC fan expo. Last night we saw Chuck Liddel inducted into the UFC hall of fame, and today we see a night of warriors come together to prove who reigns supreme in their respective divisions.The real story comes after the main event though, when Lesnar gets up in Mir's face and it takes 6 security guards to separate them. Lesnar then disses one of the biggest sponsers, Bud Light, and then flips off the crowd and encourages them to boo. He's certainly not winning any friends here so I guess we wait and see if TuF 10 turns out any heavyweights capable of teaching the former WWE star a lesson in humility.

Results below the break!

It has recently been reported that more companies have been banned from placing a sponsor on the clothing that a UFC fighter and his entourage wear, with the reports suggesting that additional companies, such as Rolling Stone, One More Round and Dethrone, have been added to an ever increasing list of companies that are banned from UFC events. Due to this, fighters under the UFC will have an ever increasing difficulty in obtaining clothing apparel sponsorships for upcoming fight cards.
