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.

Artie Lange Kills On Joe Buck Live
If you're a fan of the Howard Stern Show you'll know that Artie Lange is one of the funniest guys on the planet. Last night he appeared on the Joe Buck Live show, once again he killed as he always does. He was the show, he saved the show. This clip has been making the rounds and has been covered on the New York Times and USA Today. Here is the video again, for those who have not seen it already.
Despite the outrage by certain sections of the media and Buck himself, Artie did exactly what the produces brought him on the show for. Sure he caused a little controversy but he saved that snore fest. Please never change Artie.

Cro Cop returns and leaves again?
He looked in the best form since his Pride days but was it just a game for Cro Cop? Did he fool us all or is there more to the story?
I listened to the pre-fight Cro Cop conference call and he really did say that his aim was the UFC title. Maybe there was some sort of misunderstanding where he thought that the UFC would let time fight in Germany, then let him go back to Japan for 2009, and let him return to the UFC for a title run in 2010? I don't know, but he doesn't seem like a guy who'd just screw over people.
Everything will be revealed in the next 24 hours or so. Stay tuned...

UFC 99 Best Bet
Another easy opponent for Cro Cop to make his real comeback against but i think everyone said the same thing against Kongo and Overeem too. Al-Turk will be looking to take him down early - he can only win via decision - a submission victory for him is very unlikely - his stand-up is not a threat to Mirko, remains one of the worlds best strikers. Once again Cro Cops hands will be his key to victory. Having watched many of his recent training sessions there is no doubt in my mind that Cro Cop will win in early in first via K.O or T.K.O. Put a dime on the 2006 OWGP winner, you wont regret it on Sunday.
