Father knows best: Advice from MMA’s dads

Fathers are known to dispense advice, so in honor of Father's Day, Cagewriter collected some of the best advice given to the MMA world.

Daniel Cormier, Strikeforce heavyweight: "My father died when I was seven, but the man who raised me, Percy Benoit, told me to work hard, you're a good person and good things will come to you."

Joe Lauzon, UFC lightweight:" My father was huge with 'Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today.' My dad has always hustled... no matter how well he did something, there was always room for improvement and he was going to squeeze out every ounce of improvement in everything he did."

Dan Henderson, Strikeforce light heavyweight champ: "My dad was my wrestling coach for most of my life, and then when I started MMA, he didn't know too much about it. But he'd watch my fights on TV, and I was fairly new in the sport, and he'd always have some sort of critique, even though he didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Even if I knocked the guy out, he'd say, 'It seems like he's hitting you an awful lot. Maybe you ought to move your head a bit.'"

Scott Coker, Strikeforce CEO: "My dad knew I loved martial arts, and he said find a way to make that your career, as you get older, because then you'll love it, and you won't have to feel like you're going to work. Find something that you love to do."

Sam Stout, UFC lightweight: "My dad's give me tons of good advice in my life. He's the one who taught me to work for what I believe in. He's a very motivated guy. He's the one who taught me to stick up for myself. He's the one who put me into sports and encourage me to play."

Aaron Simpson, UFC middleweight: "If you want to continue to be great at something, never be satisfied. He told me this after I won state my freshman year of high school."

A very Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, especially my father, who gave me the advice to not let idiots get in the way of my dreams. Thanks, Dad.

UFC on Versus 4 picks, Vegas-style: Smaller isn’t necessarily better

The night of the weight cut! That's not a really a catchy title for a fight card, but it certainly represents a big part of the story at Sunday's UFC on Versus 4 card.

Nate Marquardt, Tyson Griffin, Joe Stevenson, Rich Attonito, Ricardo Lamas and Matt Grice are all dropping in weight. That could wreak havoc on bettors. How many of these guys get crushed by the weight cut?

Yahoo! Sports' lead MMA writer Kevin Iole joined us to give his picks on the fights using the Las Vegas betting lines.

Couture coach loses toe to MMA

Neil Melanson has helped some of MMA's best learn the art of grappling. From now on, he'll have to do that training with one less toe. Melanson, the head grappling instructor at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, was given the choice of getting his toe removed or staying off the mats for a year. He said goodbye to the toe.

During years of competing in catch wrestling and coaching such fighters as Randy Couture, Gray Maynard and Forrest Griffin, Melanson had broken the toe several times. It finally wouldn't heal straight, and doctors told him that the toe needed surgery.

"The only thing they could try, is put screws in it to straighten it out, but that would be up to a year of downtime," he said. "The doctor thought I was a little nuts because he was like, 'Well, don't you want to keep that thing?' I just said, 'I can't take a year off.'

"He didn't cut through any bone. They cut into the foot at the lowest joint possible and then sow all the webbing between the toes. So, it looks like a Ninja Turtle foot or something."

Melanson isn't the first to lose a body part to sports. NFL Hall-of-Famer Ronnie Lott had his pinkie cut off after it was crushed in a playoff win for the 49ers. Pro surfer Bethany Hamilton lost her arm in a shark attack, but is still competing.

Overeem beats Werdum at Strikeforce, but fails to impress

Alistair Overeem looked to send a strong message in Saturday night's Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix quarterfinals. Instead, he created plenty of questions about his much larger physique and his stamina. Overeem took a sloppy fight via unanimous decision, 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28, in the main event at Strikeforce's Dallas event.

Overeem, a huge tourney favorite, suddenly looks beatable. All three of the remaining fighters in the field are capable of taking out Overeem (35-11, one no-contest).

In the semifinals, the 256-pounder will face the massive Antonio "Big Foot" Silva. On the other side of the bracket, is a big puncher in Sergei Kharitonov and a great ground fighter, Josh Barnett.

Overeem has added 40 pounds to his frame over the last five years, but now it appears he may have gone too far. His gas tank was a real issue and his hand speed was unimpressive.

"As you know, Fabricio is one of the best grapplers in the world, so we didn't want to play with him on the ground," said Overeem, who indicated nothing Werdum landed really hurt him. "He just felt a little bit unpredictable in the standup."

For 15 minutes, Werdum (14-5-1) tried to get the fight to the ground where he could show off his excellent submission skills, but he never got Overeem into a dangerous spot.

The Brazilian worked hard throughout the opening round but was consistently thrown away by the powerful Overeem. In the second and third, both fighters were extremely tired. By pulling guard, Werdum actually got into some decent positions on his back with Overeem in his guard, but he was too tired to execute a submission. Overeem was also exhausted and often times just laid close to Werdum's body.

On the feet, Overeem landed harder, single shots. Werdum landed some decent combinations. CompuStrike actually had Werdum outlanding Overeem 69-48, but few of his shots did real damage.
