Kidd Chris Show Prank Calls BJ Penn
Kidd Chris Show pranks calls the UFC 101 conference call. If you're regular Howard Stern listener you'll know the name. He's responsible for the amazing George Takei phony phone call and many hilarious song parodies. This is the first time I've had chance to check out the show and I must say they're really good. The show is streamed free online, so check them out.

Fedor vs. Vitor Belfort Odds and Betting Lines
The fight may not be official yet but you can count on the betting lines being available at the two major online sportsbooks for MMA bettors. Both Bodog and Sportsbook have odds listed for the yet to be announced bout. Fedor Emelianenko remains the odds makers choice at incredible -825 (Bet $825 for a $100 return) while former UFC champion Vitor Belfort is a +550 underdog.
Despite the lopsided odds former UFC champion Randy Couture believes that Belfort would be a credible challenger for worlds top ranked heavyweight. In a recent interview with with ESPN's Jake Rossen and Sacha Feinman, Couture claimed that Belfort had as good of a chance as late withdrawl Josh Barnett. “The fact that he's a southpaw and Fedor hasn't prepared for a southpaw, the fact that he is very, very agile and explosive and a great boxer all lend well to him having a great performance," Couture said. "It's really a win-win for Vitor to fight one of the top guys in the sport, being a smaller guy stepping up on such short notice. … He's got just as good a chance as anybody. Certainly he has as good a chance as Barnett had at fighting Fedor."
Here are the current Fedor Belfort odds and full Affliction 3 betting lines from our friends at Sportsbook.
Affliction 3: Trilogy Betting Odds - August 1st
Fedor Emelianenko -825 vs. Vitor Belfort +550
Renato “Babalu” Sobral +125 vs. Gegard Mousasi -130
Takanori Gomi -600 vs. Rafaello Oliveira +400
Paul Buentello +155 vs. Gilbert Yvel -185
Cro Cop vs. Dos Santos at UFC 103
Cro Cop: No One Could Match the UFC Offer
The Croatian MMA star will return to the Octagon on the 19th of September in Dallas and will face Brazilian Junior dos Santos. Its official Cro Cop has signed a three fight deal with the UFC.
"I am pleased to return to the UFC, the only global MMA organization. Unfortunately, all the other organizations are lagging behind the UFC at the moment. Japanese Dream cannot compete with Americans financially nor with quality of their fighters either."
"UFC has become what Pride once was, and has even surpassed it. I will always be grateful to the Japanese, because its there that I made my name in this sport. However, the Dream offer for me was not a challenge."
"I'm sorry that the UFC and Dream had a battle for me. Certain people even called me a fraudster and I even read a remark by Dana White where he alleged that I called him 600 times - Mirko explains and adds:
I called him exactly - zero times. I sent him one SMS and that's all. I wouldn’t call anyone 600 times even if my life dependent on it. I do not want to be portrayed in such a light - said Mirko.
White made a mistake that had to be corrected by Lorenzo Fertitta during his stay in Croatia.

UFC 100 odds update from Sportsbook
We are now only a few moments away from one of the most spectacular events in the history of the fight game. UFC 100 is finally here and oh what’s that around the corner? It’s our UFC 100 odds update.
Here are the latest lines from our friends at Bodog, Sportsbook and Bookmaker. If you’re not signed up with any of these guys make sure to open an account right now to take advantage of the spectacular odds on offer. UFC 100 will have plenty of blood and guts but more importantly a whole heap of great bets those for looking to spice things up on Saturday. So what better time to set-up your account than now. That ends our UFC 100 preamble, now onto the odds.
Lesnar looked slightly soft in the weight ins but don’t let that fool you, he has been focusing on technique rather than strength leading up to this bout. Will it be the same aggressive Brock we’ve seen in his past three bouts? Absolutely, he’s looking sharp. Mir will have his hands full once again and will have to pull out a mini miracle to survive the fist two rounds. For the believers, Mir is best priced +220 available at sportsbook.
Thiago Alves on the other hand is looking as big as ever however size alone wont be enough against an inform St. Pierre. This bout has decision written all over it. Look for GSP dominate toward another successful title defence.
Henderson looked pretty good against Franklin on route is decision victory at UFC 93. Bisping is very scrappy though and could be if Henderson doesn’t dominate early. That’s a chance of an upset here, the Englishmen could steal a decision if Henderson is not careful.

Frank Mir Looking Good For UFC 100
Battle of bad tattoos? Put your money on Mir. Lesnar has become a little overvalued.
Cro Cop vs. Junior dos Santos in Sepember
Its looks official. Cro Cop will more than likely face rising star Junior dos Santos.
The Brazilian striker is very inexperienced, has spent about a 1 minute inside the octagon and he's already facing Cro Cop. He trains with good people though, Nog and Anderson Silva. I've also seen him spare with Shogun Rua. According to his UFC biography he started training in 2005, I don't know how accurate that is but I wouldn't like to loose to a guy that took up the sport four years ago. Incidentally thats the same year Cro Cop faced Fedor.
One thing is for sure, the UFC loves Cro Cop. Eddie Sanchez, Gonzago, Kongo, Al Turk, now Dos Santos. Its another match-up that should suit the Croatian very well.

Betting on UFC 100
Being a degenerate gambler and all, I couldn't have been be happier when one of my favorite sportsbooks increased their maximum bet limit on all UFC bouts. This is the email I received earlier today.
Perfect timing too. Unfortunately UFC 100 will not air live here in Australia but plan B is already in place. For those not residing in this part of the world, head over to sportsbook for all your UFC 100 betting needs.
Good to hear from you Robert. This is perfect timing that you should bring this up because we recently just agreed to decrease the maximum bet threshold for UFC bouts from $500 to $1000. This will be officially announced in next week to all players.
We are now up to $1000, and I hope this makes things a lot easier for you. Let me know what if you need anything else.

Dana on Cro Cop
I dont know if you guys caught the latest Dana White interview where he touched on Cro Cop situation again. I thought I’d post here in light of recent developments. Like in 99% of these phony interviews the DJ/host is always kissing his ass so hard its embarrassing. The guy asked him if Cro Cop called White and asked him to stop calling him names in the press (or words to that effect) and Dana replied, "hmm.. but you're pretty good." So in roundabout sleazy way saying yes. When asked if Cro Cop could ever return to the UFC, White replied, "See what happens. He hasn’t fought in Japan yet. See what happens".Dana also talked about a possible return of Vitor Belfort and Chuck Liddell. The full version is embedded below.

On a completely different note, is it just me or has the UFC commentary been lacking as of late. I like Joe Rogan, he seems like a nice guy but my fondness for his “special comments” (and comedy too but that's another story) has waned. I think it all started around the Pride acquisition and culminated at UFC 79 at Lyoto Machida vs. Sokoudjou, when Joe Silva made the this isn’t Japan comment, insinuating that Soku's competition was easier in Japan and Rogan agreeing with him. He has came off a UFC company man ever since.
Mike Goldberg is just horrific. MMA commentating lacks the professionalism of the NBA, NFL etc, and is one of the few things that annoy me about MMA right now. I could tolerate it a few years ago when it was still a fringe sport but now its starting to bug me.
UFC 100 is the UFC biggest and most important card this year. Six huge names and arguably the new face of the UFC, Brock Lesnar, headline this epic card. Its one not to be missed. If you have friends or family that have yet to watch an MMA event, make sure they catch this card on PPV. For the betting inclined, i recommend heading over to Sportsbook and opening an account.
