Beauty and the beast? UFC 160 headliner Antonio Silva lends his voice to Taylor Swift's "I knew You Were Trouble" video remix just days before he tries to dethrone Cain Velasquez on May 25, 2013 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Will "Bigfoot" be "trouble" for the champ, or a two-time loser? We'll find out this weekend (results here).
Kevin and George from the Uncut Sports Show weigh in on all of the action from this upcoming weekend's UFC 160 event headlined by Cain Velasquez vs Antonio "Big Foot" Silva 2. The next fight the guys will weigh in on is the main event, heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez vs Antonio "Big Foot" Silva. Velasquez and Silva are set to meet again at UFC 160 for the second time in almost exactly one year—this time, with a title on the line. In their last meeting, Velasquez absolutely destroyed Silva in what was one of the most one-sided beatings ever witnessed in the UFC. However, having defeated two men considered far superior to him since then, Silva feels he's earned a rematch as well as a shot at the heavyweight championship.
Kevin and George from the Uncut Sports Show weigh in on all of the action from this upcoming weekend's UFC 160 event headlined by Cain Velasquez vs Antonio "Big Foot" Silva 2. The next fight the guys will weigh in on is heavyweight championship contender match, Junior dos Santos vs Mark Hunt. Junior dos Santos has not competed since losing the heavyweight crown to Cain Velasquez, but he could earn himself a chance to reclaim the belt with a win over the surging Mark Hunt at UFC 160. After losing six straight fights, Hunt has resurrected his career with four consecutive wins and is now a legitimate contender in the heavyweight division. With a victory over a former champion like Dos Santos, Hunt would be more than deserving of his first UFC title shot. Aside from the title shot implications this fight carries, a matchup between Junior Dos Santos and Mark Hunt promises an entertaining stand-up battle and high potential for a knockout finish.
Kevin and George from the Uncut Sports Show weigh in on all of the action from this upcoming weekend's UFC 160 event headlined by Cain Velasquez vs Antonio "Big Foot" Silva. The next fight the guys will weigh in on is Glover Teixiera vs James Te-Huna. Glover Teixeira has won three straight fights inside the Octagon while Te Huna has won four. Both Teixeira and Te-Huna are intimidating presences in the Octagon and will likely go a full three rounds in this slugfest. Which one of these surging prospects will jump into the mix after UFC 160 over the Memorial Day Weekend? Tune in to the Uncut Sports Show to find out!
Kevin and George from the Uncut Sports Show weigh in on all of the action from this upcoming weekend's UFC 160 event headlined by Cain Velasquez vs Antonio "Big Foot" Silva 2. The second fight the guys weigh in on is another lightweight bout, Gray Maynard vs T.J. Grant. Since dropping to the lightweight division, Canadian fighter TJ Grant is undefeated. Grant's last two victories came against Evan Dunham and Matt Wiman. They were wins against very tough and durable fighters, and the victories propelled him to the biggest fight of his career. Grant takes on Gray Maynard this Saturday at UFC 160, and the winner will face Benson Henderson for the lightweight championship.
Kevin and George from the Uncut Sports Show weigh in on all of the action from this upcoming weekend's UFC 160 event headlined by Cain Velasquez vs Antonio "Big Foot" Silva 2. The first fight they will weigh in on is a battle of lightweights, Donald "The Cowboy" Cerrone vs K.J. Noons. Lightweight brawler Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone will welcome Strikeforce veteran K.J. Noons into the Octagon at UFC 160. Expect a slugfest when these two lightweights meet at UFC 160. Cerrone enters the fight as the favorite, but needs to be decisive in his attack of Noons and not let Noons stick around with his quick in-and-out boxing style.
Tattletale! After some random stool-pigeon ratted out John Cholish and Jacob Volkmann, who share an unflattering view on how UFC treats some of its fighters (see it here and here), promotion president Dana White fired back, referring to them as a couple of "washouts." And, according to the Las Vegas fight boss, washouts are never happy.
Former UFC Octagon Girl Edith LaBelle has traded in laps around the cage for a few laps around the race track. I'd say by her O-face and the way she shakes her melons that she's having a grand old time, too. The fact that someone's job is to drive race cars and entertain beautiful women means I need to re-evaluate my career goals. See more of LaBelle's latest exploits (and more of her cans) right here.
