The Iceman, who is 40 years old, is said to be washed up, past his prime. Two weekends prior to that event, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, another huge star in American MMA, lost a decision to Rashad Evans. Although he’s only 30, his future is uncertain. All told, it hasn’t been a kind month for legends of the octagon."

I know I don’t. Watch this video of UFC fighter Kenny Florian punching Danny Bonaduce in the face multiple times. Florian doesn’t hold back and unloads on the D-List celebrity. I guess Ken Flo wasn’t a big Partridge Family fan."

Eric Gargiulo presents EA Sports Live Broadcast Comes to EA MMA Game posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The hype for EA Sports MMA has been disappointing…until now.

That said, I wanted to take a quick look back at some of Chuck Liddell's best fights."

Eric Gargiulo presents UFC 116 Preview: Lesnar-Carwin Anchors the UFC?s Fourth of July Weekend posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "On Saturday, July 3rd, the UFC holds their annual fourth of July weekend card, always a big draw in terms of PPV numbers. Like last year, Brock Lesnar remains the main attraction to which the company is pinning their hopes of high PPV buyrates.

Indeed, many pundits felt that Lesnar might be done in the world of mixed martial arts – and indeed, any professional competition."
