One of the comments UFC President Dana White likes to make when there's a close, contentious decision is that fighters shouldn't leave the fights in the hands of the judges: Finish the fight, and you don't have to worry about whether the judges are going to rob you.

Pat Barry leg kicked his way to a unanimous decision, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28 over Joey Beltran at Fight for the Troops 2 in Texas on Saturday night.
Beltran controlled Barry throughout the round using the clinch, and even landed a few shots to the groin before the two were separated and Barry was given time to recover. Beltran stayed close enough to keep Barry from throwing many damaging kicks, which clearly frustrated Barry.
In the second round, Beltran started with a series of punches and completed a takedown, but also absorbed several punishing leg kicks from Barry. By the end of the round, Beltran was limping, but still ended the round with a flurry of strikes and knees.
Beltran continued to use the clinch in the third round, battering Barry's face for the beginning of the round, but Barry didn't let Beltran stick around too long. He continued to use leg kicks, and at one point, pushed off Beltran's face to throw a kick. He inadvertently poked Beltran in the eye, stopping the fight for the doctor to come in.
When the bout was re-started, Barry found a second wind, landing kick after kick on Beltran's already wary leg. Beltran tried for a takedown to avoid the kicks, but Barry used his position on the ground to hammerfist Beltran's tenderized leg. Barry returned to his feet and landed several more kicks as the final horn sounded. Beltran collapsed to the ground, his leg clearly in pain.
Barry was emotional after the fight, speaking of his father, a solider who died 25 years ago. Several of Barry's family members served in the military, giving his bout at Ft. Hood extra meaning. He said that he was surprised that Beltran contnued to come forward.
"That dude is a zombie. I hit him in the face 300 times, and he kept coming forward," Barry said of Beltran.
This win was Barry's first time back in the Octagon since breaking his hand and foot in a loss to Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. Beltran has now suffered his second loss in a row, after dropping a unanimous decision to Matt Mitrione at UFC 119.

The military has given to him, so Melvin Guillard is happy to give back. The same goes for UFC president Dana White.
The promotion is just a few days away from putting on its third fight card on a U.S. military base. This time it's Ft. Hood in Texas and the UFC is hoping to exceed the $4 million it raised in late 2008 with a fight card in Fayetteville, N.C.
"I'm going to give these guys a show," Guillard said during the "Fight for the Troops 2" teleconference. "You know, they work so hard to protect us every year, year after year. Some of them give up going overseas and got to live there for years at a time. And, you know, this is a blessing for me to even be asked to give a performance that I'm going to give these guys next week -- and guys and girls. So to me, it's just all part of being an American and I'm honored."
Guillard knows first hand of the sacrifice.
"I stay right now in Albuquerque with Staff Sergeant Chris Molina and his family. This is where I stay when I come here. So, you know, getting the military experience of staying with families, you know, seeing what these guys go through to protect our country, I've actually had chances to visit certain military bases and I also have a ton of friends in high school that got out of high school that’s in military, whether it's Marine Corps or Army or Air Force or whatever," said Guillard.
White decided Ft. Hood was a good spot this time around after seeing the work done by the Fisher family in Texas and around the country.
"What happened was we got invited down there and I went down. It was the first time I'd ever seen anything like that -- when I visited the hospital and what these guys, you know, the Fisher family who started this thing, what they’ve done for the troops here fighting in the United States, it's -- I can't even -- I can't put it into words for you. When these kids get injured, you know, you’ve got these 18-, 19-, 20-year-old kids that are getting injured over there -- they come back, it's sad to say but the government doesn’t take care of them, which is mind boggling," said White.
"So this family has put together this thing where -- and if you're a parent of one of these kids, I mean anybody who's on this call who has kids can understand. Your kid gets his arms, legs blown off, his face is melted -- the horrible things that happen to these guys -- and they're laying in a hospital bed out in the middle of Nowhere, Virginia, what do you do? You know what you do? You quit your job, you lose everything you have and you drive out there and you live in your car and you sit in a chair in the bed next to them."
The UFC raised $4 million around Fight for the Troops 1 and is hoping to eclipse that number this time. The proceeds this year will benefit the 53 Fisher Houses around the U.S. and in Germany and the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
"Fight for the Troops" goes down this Saturday on Spike (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT).

Trevor Prangley is not a young man, so at this point in his fight career he's looking for challenges. It doesn't matter if it comes at light heavyweight or his more natural weight class, middleweight. That's why he didn't hesitate in taking a fight against former heavyweight Roger Gracie at 205. Prangley, 38, will meet Gracie on Saturday at Strikeforce in San Jose (Showtime, 10 p.m. ET/PT).
The South African downplayed a huge edge in MMA. He has 30 pro MMA fights to Gracie's three. Prangley told Strikeforce.com:
"I think it will play a little bit of a part. But the guy has been on the world stage in jiu-jitsu so many times that I don’t think it will be as big of an advantage as people might think. He’s competed at a high level in jiu-jitsu and submission wrestling all over the world, and it’s the same concept, really. But Roger’s never really been hit, and I’m going to put it on him."
Prangley isn't the most technical boxer, but he's a hard puncher. His striking wore down Keith Jardine at Shark Fights 13.
Prangley, a former Division I wrestler, knows he probably needs to keep the fight standing. His submission defense is solid, but Gracie, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, is off the charts. Prangley:
"A guy like him is so good, that I can train basic stuff, but if he gets me in a bad position, its going to be a matter of fighting hard and never stopping my movement. There are no secrets that I’m going to pick up in the last few weeks before that fight that’s going to help me avoid getting submitted I just intend to not give him the opportunity to get a submission. That’s what I’m focusing on. Not the submission defense itself, but stopping him from getting into position to get an opportunity to submit me."
Prangley is banking on the fact that he's catching Gracie early in his career before he turns into a complete fighter. He also knows time is short and without a win here, future fights with the big promotions are going to be harder to come by.
"I’m going to win this fight, and I have to win it because it’s a 'do or die' situation for me. Roger’s really early in his career, so a loss for him won’t be that devastating, but for me it’s devastating. And so I’m not going to allow it to happen. So the fans can expect a win from me."

On a football playoff weekend, former NFL player Matt Mitrione shined, TKOing Tim Hague in the co-main event of Fight for the Troops at Ft. Hood on Saturday.
Mitrione dropped Hague early in the second round, then finished the job with a straight left. Mitrione jumped on top of Hague and delivered hammer fists until referee Dan Miragliotta stopped the bout at 2:59 in the first round.
"I wanted to be a 260-lb. Dominick Cruz," Mitrione said of his quick movement throughout the bout, referring the the UFC bantamweight champion who is known for his outstanding movement. "I want to get tested. I want to fight. I want to get that piece of gold."
Mitrione has steadily improved since his time on the 10th season of "The Ultimate Fighter." He now has four straight wins in the UFC. Hague was fighting in the Octagon again after taking two fights outside of the UFC.

Herschel Walker's MMA career continues to confuse those outside the sport. The former NFL and college star is attracting the eyes of many media members who haven't bought into MMA as a legitimate sport, but at what cost? John Canzano can't be the only newspaper columnist thinking the sport is a joke because it's promoting a 48-year-old football star in the cage.
I want to like this sport. I want to understand it. I want to cover it, and write about it, and take it seriously. But how can I while the sport itself aims to be a circus?
Canzano wrote that in the Oregonian on Saturday in advance of Walker's fight this coming weekend against someone named Scott Carson.
[...] This matchup is a joke. It feels like Tonya Harding boxing. And dwarf Eddie Gaedel having an at-bat for the St. Louis Browns in 1951. And it's Chad Ocho Cinco racing against a horse.
Canzano then made sure to point out that Walker is fighting for Strikeforce not the UFC.
It's worth noting that Strikeforce is promoting this bout. That operation is a more sensationalized, more desperate younger cousin of the UFC. Hard-core mixed martial arts fans are quick to point this out and dismiss this as no big deal. Trouble is, the peripheral sports fan who is just getting to know the sport can't, and won't, make this distinction. I can't, either.
He's right, but frankly, in spite of James Toney's lengthy boxing resume, Walker may have stood a better shot in the cage at UFC 118 against Randy Couture. The UFC played the circus game a bit last year too.
Is Canzano, who's also a talk show host on Portland's biggest sports talk station, overreacting or does he speak for many casual and non-MMA fans?
Feel free to reach out to Canzano to debate the topic on Twitter @johncanzanobft, but remember to be civil. There's no reason to represent the MMA fanbase poorly.

"Untapped potential" has long been the tag slapped on Melvin Guillard. But that should come to an end after his devastating win Saturday night over hotshot lightweight Evan Dunham. The 27-year-old Gullard, who has battled drug issues and discipline problems in the past, crushed Dunham with slick, composed striking to finish the fight at 2:58 of the first round in the main event of Fight for the Troops 2.
"I want my title shot. I'm the darkhouse in this game at (1)55," Guillard told UFC analyst Joe Rogan. "No disrespect to anyone in my weight class, but I am the best 155-pound fighter in the UFC."
The lightweight title belt is going to be tied up for a while. After their classic fight at UFC 125, Frank Edgar and Gray Maynard need to fight again to get a clear answer. Anthony Pettis, with a win over Clay Guida, will probably get the winner. Guillard (27-8-2, 10-4 UFC) doesn't want to wait around and he's confident that he'll open the eyes of management in 2011.
"And you know what? I don’t want to wait for that rematch. So you keep lining them up, I'll keep knocking them down," Guillard said. "And I will go undefeated in 2011. I will get a title shot before the end of 2011 or no later than 2012. I promise you that."
It was the fourth straight win for Guillard, who's now won 7 of 8. More importantly, Guillard is 4-0 since moving to Albuquerque to train with renowned trainer Greg Jackson. Guillard fights with a game plan now and doesn't lose his head in the cage.
Dunham, the superior fighter on the ground, put him to the test early by working hard for the takedown. Just 20 seconds into the fight, Dunham got a hold of Guillard and moved the double underhook clinch to the cage. He got Guillard down 19 seconds later, but could never get him settled. Guillard got up and the fighters were back in striking position less than 30 seconds later.
Guillard made Dunham look awkward and slow on the feet. Guillard knocked down Dunham with 2:30 left in the first with a straight right. Dunham got pounded with 10 more rights as he desperately grabbed for Guillard's leg. When Guillard got free he blasted Dunham with three more big shots. He got control of Dunham's head and rocked him with a big left knee. The fence saved Dunham from falling down. He was out of it. On the way down, Guillard got him with one more knee.
Guillard actually landed an additional illegal knee before referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight. Yamasaki didn't make it into an issue. Good thing for Guillard and the UFC that he didn't. It was clear Dunham couldn't continue if Guillard had been warned or penalized for that knee.

Somewhere along the line, Pat Barry rubbed Travis Browne the wrong way. Browne had some pent up anger he wanted to vent and chose an odd time to do so. After Barry made an impassioned speech following his victory at Fort Hood over Joey Beltran, Browne unloaded on the former kickboxer suggesting his speech was a bit phony.
Browne was attacked by several followers and tried to clarify his comments, but it's clear he'd like a fight down the road with the loquacious Barry.
Shortly after the fight, Barry had no idea why he was under attack.
"He wants to know why am I now talking about my Dad's dog tags versus any other fight? It's because my Dad was in the Army and I'm on an Army base. Kind of makes sense. Seems like an opportune time to actually bring it up," Barry told Hector Castro from MMADieHards.
Barry was totally confused.
"I don't why he's mad at me. I didn't do anything wrong to him. I don't even think we've ever met. Travis Browne says a lot of ugly things," said Barry.
He also told Browne to worry about his next fight against Stefan Struve. Browne and Struve square off at UFC 130 in May. Barry closed the interview by saying he would fight Browne if offered the chance.

"I feel good and I’m ready to fight. Cyborg has a unique style and I know that he will give it his all and be as crazy as ever. But that’s good because I’m crazy, too," Diaz said. I have great respect for Cyborg. He is strong and has skills and comes real hard. I feel he deserves a shot."
Cyborg returned the respect.
“Nick Diaz is a very gallant fighter but I will press the action whether we are standing or on the ground," Cyborg said.
Gallant! I can think of no better word to describe Diaz.

The main event at tomorrow night's Strikeforce is guaranteed to deliver a dramatic finish. Nick Diaz brings a classic volume boxing style to the cage against Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos. Santos is your typical brawler, who swings from the hip. Someone is losing via KO or TKO. But as Cage Potato notes, the Diaz fight isn't the only thing that makes Strikeforce's latest offering intriguing. CP lists the other reasons to tune in:
Herschel Walker, Genetic Freak
[...] Did I mention he’s 48? Now, in MMA that may not seem special as we have our own version of a 48-year old wonder in Randy Couture, but Couture looks every year of 48. Walker, on the other hand, could pass for a man in his early 30s and has the physique that men in their athletic primes dream to attain. Herschel Walker, at 48, might be the greatest physical specimen to step foot in an MMA ring or cage…ever.
Roger Gracie, Ground Wizard
The Gracie name is synonymous with the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Their legacy extends back to the inaugural UFC some 17 years ago. [...] Fans of BJJ should take notice of his skills, especially when it gets to the ground…and if Gracie wants it to, it will. Gracie is only 28 years of age and still has a future in MMA and potential matchups at 205 with Dan Henderson, “King Mo” Lawal, and the Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, Rafael Cavalcante.
Momentum
Strikeforce has been able to pick up some much needed momentum after a subpar 2010. It began with the December 4th show that went up head-to-head with the UFC. Though the UFC show won the ratings war, Strikeforce had overwhelming shown itself as the better show that night. Then an announcement of a Heavyweight Tournament with 8 of the top 25 heavyweights in the world was made. [...] There’s a lot of momentum behind the Strikeforce brand, the question is, can they keep it up?
There's one more we'd like to add, regardless of a win or loss, Nick Diaz's postfight press conference comments are a must listen. He's been unbelievable in the lead up to the fight.
Diaz is tired of hearing about a possible against middleweight Jason Miller.
"I’d be happy to move up, I’d like to get paid for it you know? I don’t like how people try to say that I didn’t accept the fight with (Mayhem) Miller because I was too small. I never said anything about that," Diaz said. "I said if I’m going to go off track and screw with my whole season, it’s going to screw with my whole year, it’s going to screw with my capabilities of fighting at 170lbs. If I’m going to do that I’d like to get paid in full. I would like to have a reason for doing that. Not just do it at everybody else’s convenience.”
Diaz isn't making a ton of money for these fights and he's had enough.
“I’d like to get paid something extra. Double, triple, something crazy for me to do something extra that would screw up my weight to fight at that weight," Diaz said. "[...] “(Manny) Pacquaio’s making 40 [expletive] million dollars, GSP’s making a couple million dollars. I’m over here [expletive] driving a Honda and my [expletive] breaking down? [expletive] all you mother[expletive]."
Diaz is also tired of hearing about Georges St. Pierre's dominance.
"That’s what I’m saying. They’ve made easy fights for those guys. These guys have got like six or seven fights. Like all easy fights. I’ve never got to fight a guy like (Paul Daley) they brought into fight Josh Koscheck," Diaz said during the Strikeforce teleconference. "So when you bring up fighters like that and tell me they are the best fighters in the world it’s a [expletive] joke. Those guys are all ranked now but I was here first. So let’s fight then. Let’s make it happen, you know?"
According to Diaz, the UFC is propping up phony contenders for GSP.
“People think this guy is better than me and it’s [expletive]. He went five rounds with Josh Koscheck," Diaz said. "I just told you about Josh Koscheck, right? Why shouldn’t I get to fight him? Why are you saying he’s unavailable? Because we fight for different companies?”
We know Diaz is nutty, but this is where he has completely off his rocker. The fighter should be well aware of the fact that the UFC will never co-promote a fight with another organization. He was with the UFC in the past and is fully familiar with the ways of the powerful promotion. If his goal is to push for change, fine, but stop acting like this is boxing with promoters like Gary Shaw, Lou DiBella, Golden Boy, Top Rank and Don King working together on fights.

"Untapped potential" has long been the tag slapped on Melvin Guillard. But that should come to an end after his devastating win Saturday night over hotshot lightweight Evan Dunham. The 27-year-old Gullard, who has battled drug issues and discipline problems in the past, crushed Dunham with slick, composed striking to finish the fight at 2:58 of the first round in the main event of Fight for the Troops 2.
"I want my title shot. I'm the darkhouse in this game at (1)55," Guillard told UFC analyst Joe Rogan. "No disrespect to anyone in my weight class, but I am the best 155-pound fighter in the UFC."
The lightweight title belt is going to be tied up for a while. After their classic fight at UFC 125, Frank Edgar and Gray Maynard need to fight again to get a clear answer. Anthony Pettis, with a win over Clay Guida, will probably get the winner. Guillard (27-8-2, 10-4 UFC) doesn't want to wait around and he's confident that he'll open the eyes of management in 2011.
"And you know what? I don’t want to wait for that rematch. So you keep lining them up, I'll keep knocking them down," Guillard said. "And I will go undefeated in 2011. I will get a title shot before the end of 2011 or no later than 2012. I promise you that."
It was the fourth straight win for Guillard, who's now won 7 of 8. More importantly, Guillard is 4-0 since moving to Albuquerque to train with renowned trainer Greg Jackson. Guillard fights with a game plan now and doesn't lose his head in the cage.
Dunham, the superior fighter on the ground, put him to the test early by working hard for the takedown. Just 20 seconds into the fight, Dunham got a hold of Guillard and moved the double underhook clinch to the cage. He got Guillard down 19 seconds later, but could never get him settled. Guillard got up and the fighters were back in striking position less than 30 seconds later.
Guillard made Dunham look awkward and slow on the feet. Guillard knocked down Dunham with 2:30 left in the first with a straight right. Dunham got pounded with 10 more rights as he desperately grabbed for Guillard's leg. When Guillard got free he blasted Dunham with three more big shots. He got control of Dunham's head and rocked him with a big left knee. The fence saved Dunham from falling down. He was out of it. On the way down, Guillard got him with one more knee.
Guillard actually landed an additional illegal knee before referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight. Yamasaki didn't make it into an issue. Good thing for Guillard and the UFC that he didn't. It was clear Dunham couldn't continue if Guillard had been warned or penalized for that knee.

The UFC can hold all the press conferences it wants, but there's still going to be that element of potential critics who have their pre-conceived notions about mixed martial arts.
Mark down movie critic Jeffrey Lyons as an opponent. The longtime movie guru in the New York area asked actor Jason Statham if there should be a minimum age for kids to train in MMA. Statham, a fan and student of MMA, intelligently shot him down.
It's not just Lyons. Check out the comment thread on this TapouT-Ruffo brothers commercial. There's lots of folks around the world who are still in the dark on MMA.

The UFC announced that tickets will go on sale on Feb. 12 for their first Toronto event, UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre. Tickets will range from $50-800, and approximately 42,000 tickets will be available for sale. That's nearly double the attendance that the UFC has ever gotten for an event.
The deck is stacked for a big event. Canada's favorite son, Georges St. Pierre will fight Jake Shields on the main event. Jose Aldo will put his belt on the line against Mark Hominick, and Randy Couture, always a draw, will fight Lyoto Machida. Plus, it's the first time the UFC willl be in Toronto.
Canada is traditionally a boon for the UFC. Most recently, UFC 124 in Montreal broke the North American attendance record. With GSP as the main event fighter, they pulled in 23,152 attendees.
