by Dustin Kimbrell   July 3rd 2010, two of the sports biggest Heavy-weights are set to collide. Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin. This fight could very well go down in history as an instant classic, but before these two big boys get it on, let's have a look at the other fights on the card. UnderCard Jon Madsen (5-0) vs Karlos Vemola (7-0) Many of you may remember Jon Madsen for his stint on TUF 10 "Heavyweights" as the man that used his wrestling/Ground and Pound to open up the nastiest cut ever seen on the reality show.

by Marco Yanitelli The following statement by M-1 Global's president Vadim Finkelchtein was posted on M-1 Global's official website. It is in response to actions taken by Dana White and the UFC to strike Fedor where it really hurts—his wallet. "I'm afraid to disappoint the fans, but it seems that Fedor's shirt will never be available.

Fedor (31-1-0) who is widely considered as the top heavyweight fighter in all of MMA, entered the cage to take on Fabricio Werdum (13 - 4 - 1).

Fedor knocked Werdum down about thirty seconds into the first round, but Werdum recovered nicely by slipping Fedor into ...

When MMA Fighting asked Dana White following UFC 115 whether he was concerned Strikeforce would try to re-sign their middleweight champion Jake Shields, the UFC president made it very clear, once again, that he does not view the San Jose-based organization as being any kind of threat. "Strikeforce doesn't mean jack sh** to me," White said. "I could care less what they're doing. I can't even believe that people put their name in a conversation. 'Oh, what about Strikeforce?'

The fighter always has had "the best camp of my life," is in the "the best shape of his life," and has plans to win. A few colorful characters sometimes stray from the script, but every once in a while you get something unexpected. Heavyweight MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko dropped one of those moments during Friday's Strikeforce call leading up to his fight with Fabricio Werdum on June 26.
