Weekend At Jarry’s

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

When it comes to the world of combat sports weekend is king. In other words, promoters usually book their big matches/fights on the weekend. Makes sense. Boxing/MMA usually happen on Saturday nights while wrestling holds their monthly extravaganzas on Sunday nights. However, just once, JUST ONCE, I would love to see them ...

Sorting Out UFC 78

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Despite the fact that I was left a little underwhelmed with UFC 78 there was still tons of news to discuss. Such as: * Is Rashad Evans ready for a shot at Rampage Jackson? * Should Michael Bisping listen to everyone and move down to 185 lbs? * How fast can Houston Alexander ...

A look at the week to come at Jarry Park... - We teased this last week and for a while things looked bleak but, yes, legendary boxing trainer, Manny Steward, will join us to clear the air on his departure from Team Taylor. This one should be interesting. - Bloodyelbow.com Editor-in-Chief, Luke ...

UFC 78 Validated Nothing

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

A couple of days ago I proclaimed that "UFC 78 Is Really Not That Bad." I would now like to retract that statement. Remember after Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock put up a stinker at UFC 61 and Dana White ran around telling anyone that he was embarrassed and wanted to ...

Remembering The Greatness That Was The Survivor Series

Friday, November 16th, 2007

This Sunday, World Wrestling Entertainment presents the 21st Survivor Series. When WWE (then known as WWF) only ran four pay-per-views a year this one used to be my favorite. Something about it being held on a Thursday, the Thanksgiving theme and team format always made it fun to watch. Sadly, the ...

Days before the UFC makes its return to New Jersey for the first time in over two years, the New Jersey Athletic Control Board rocked the combat sports world in announcing the firing of well-respected commissioner, Larry Hazard, effective immediately. The 62-year-old Hazzard, who has worked as commissioner since 1985, was ...

Will HDNet Fights Soon Become A Force To Be Reckoned With?

Friday, November 16th, 2007

HDNet Fights' first foray into the world of Mixed Martial Arts was, well, a mixed bag. Their 10/13 card was put together on very short notice (described as a "trial run") and while some of the fights were certainly entertaining it is believed that their upcoming show on December 15 will ...

John Kolosci Doesn’t Fear Mac (The Knife)

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Despite his loss to Mac Danzig on last night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs Team Serra, John Kolosci deserves all the credit in the world. Clearly, Danzig is the best and most experienced fighter in the house. However, his past MMA triumphs didn't faze the Indiana-native as Kolosci ...
