Courtesy BostonHerald.com Diego Sanchez has made a large request by calling out the winner of Penn-Florian. Sanchez has beat Kenny Florian once before in the Ultimate Fighter Finale to win the contract and the cash. However, Florian says Sanchez should be careful what he wishes for. “He’s fought at 155 twice already and he has yet to finish anyopponent Florian said. “He’s seen what I’ve done in the weight classand the fighters that I’ve fought and I think he realizes that,although he won the show, I’ve done bigger things in my weight divisionthan he did at 170.”
“He had a lot of experience and that was the difference with him andthe rest of the guys on the show for the most part,” Florian said.“That was a big factor more than anything else, even more than theskill factor. The fact that he beat me so easily wasn’t indicative ofhow close our skill was. The main thing is that was then, this is now.It’s a completely different time and I’m a completely differentfighter. I definitely don’t think he’s evolved as much as I have,that’s for sure.”
On his upcoming title fight with BJ Penn, "I've been training all along and staying busy with that. The only thing I can do is just take it day-by-day and keeptraining. Finally the fight is here. It definitely feels good. I’mready to go. This is a dream fight for me and I’m not going to letanybody take this dream away from me.”

Though Sapp out-weighed Lashley by 67 pounds, Lashley TKO the more experienced Sapp in less than ninety seconds. Sapp, a veteran of K-1 and Pride, has five-times as many fights as the younger Lashley but still was no match for the ever-improving wrestler. Bobby Lashley has recently been training with American Top Team in southern Florida and has visibly improvemented from fight to fight. With only three professional fights -each with impressive wins- it's only a matter of time before larger, higher-pay-grade employers come calling Lashley's name.

This magazine is F**K'n amazing! The premiere issue for the premier MMA organization is more than expected; but a thrilling surprise. The UFC spared no expense on their newest venture. From the president, Dana White, breaking down the entire card of UFC 100, to a list of the top 20 fights in the UFC's history, to never-before-seen photos shot by the same photographer who shot the film for "Octagon" the book.
I'm only half way through so I'll detail further when I complete, but trust me- Go out and buy this magazine!

The 2009 session for the New York State Assembly ended this morning at 2am (EST) before Bill 2009-B (the MMA Legislation bill) could make it to the Governors desk for approval. With the session closed the bill will not be signed into law during the 2009 year; meaning any hopes of having an MMA event in the state of New York will have to be put on hold for at least another year. There is a slight chance the bill could come up during the emergency session called by Gov. Patterson; though with issues such as budget restructuring it's highly unlikely. Even if, miraculously, the Senate approved the bill it would still have to pass through the House before making it to the desk of Patterson. Assemblyman Steve Englebright, House sponsor of 2009-B, regretfully explained, "Essentially, we just ran out of time." Now, the bill will have to be reprocessed through the House and onto the Senate in next year's session to be considered into law.
“If a bill passes on the floor, it would just go back onto the floor calendar next year,” Englebright continued. “But since this bill didn’t make it to the floor yet, it has to automatically go back to the committee of origin, which really kind of stinks.”

MMAJunkie.com have confirmed the prior Saturday, November 14, would be UFC 105 held in the United Kingdom (most likely Manchester, England).
To gain as many viewers as possible the UFC would show UFC 105 via tape delay free on SpikeTV as a means to help promote the following weeks event. There has yet to be word on which members of the UFC's talent pool will partake in either event. However, if UFC 105 is in Manchester, England, it is likely British-fighter Michael Bisping will headline the card.
