The UFC conducted a conference call for the media today to help promote UFC 74 next Saturday in Las Vegas. UFC president Dana White, Randy Couture, Gabriel Gonzaga, Georges St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck all participated in the call.
Here’s a recap of some of the more newsworthy items that were discussed:
- Georges St. Pierre came off very well during the initial portion of the call. He said all the right things by giving Matt Serra his just due (just like he did immediately after UFC 69) and saying that we wouldn’t be seeing the old GSP vs. Koscheck next Saturday, but a brand new one. He even revealed that he’s been seeing a sports psychologist and that one thing he’s learned is that the best fighter doesn’t win a fight, the fighter who fights the best fight wins. I’ve been very critical of GSP in recent weeks but I have to give him a lot of credit for going to a sports psychologist. It shows he takes winning seriously and wants to fight to his full athletic potential. My only complaint is that towards the latter portion of the call the excuses (mental preparation, physical issues, and illnesses in his family) came out again. In defense of GSP, he was being asked followup questions and he was probably just trying to provide some detail. But he was a true sportsman at the start of the call and sounds determined. While I’m sticking to my prediction that Koscheck will beat him, I am preparing for a lot of “I told you so” e-mails and messages.
- Dana stated on the record that Brandon Vera has a new deal with the UFC. During a followup question he was asked about a possible first opponent and he said it would “probably” be Tim Sylvia. Nothing is official though and Sylvia has to deal with staph infection in addition to his recovery from back surgery. Stay tuned.
- White said that the UFC and Vera never had contract issues and that it was Vera and his old management that had the contract issues. He took a shot at EliteXC promoter Gary Shaw for making comments about Vera last year when there were reports that terms between UFC and Vera were icy.
- When asked about Andrei Arlovski’s status, Dana said “The Pitbull” would be fighting soon and that he didn’t know exactly when or against whom because there are so many matches that are being worked on right now. My thoughts are that if Vera is fighting Sylvia then why not Nogueira vs. Arlovski?
- What would a UFC conference call be without some talk about the HBO deal? Someone jokingly referenced Dana’s comments in the past that a deal with HBO would have been done in time to show a summer event. Dana laughed it off and said something to the effect of, “Well, now it will be signed in time for a winter event.” He still believes it will get done and even so far as went to guarantee it will get done before the year is out. When Dana was asked about why it’s taking so long he said that he’s probably the reason it’s taking so long. A question about what kind of events would be telecast on HBO was brought up. Dana backed off from previous stories that the UK broadcasts would be televised by HBO. While Dana said cards from Europe could possibly be televised on HBO, shows from the States will be telecast as well. He said the HBO cards will pretty much be just like the PPVs.
- Dana said he screwed up by having UFC 70 televised live. He said that UFC fans are used to watching UFC events on Saturday nights and showing the card in the afternoon wasn’t the way to go. As such, don’t expect the cards from Europe to be televised live.
- In regard to Wanderlei Silva, Dana would not confirm that he has signed with the UFC. He did say that he wants to sign Silva but it’s not a done deal and that he doesn’t want to talk about deals that aren’t done yet.
- Fedor was brought up but there wasn’t any new news. Dana once again said that if Fedor was signed he would be able to compete for the UFC heavyweight title right away.<p>
- Dana was asked about if he had any big announcements for the call or for UFC 74 planned. He said there are no big announcements planned unless something crazy happens.
- The dead horse that is known as the steroid issue was brought up (and I’m not blaming anyone for asking about it) and Dana got very animated repeating a lot of the same comments that appeared in Steve Sievert’s recent Houston Chronicle blog. Dana really believes that government testing is pretty stringent and that if the government tested NFL players on gameday the same way fighters are rested before a fight that there would be no more football. He said the existing penalties are harsh and that fighters who use steroids when they already know that there will be consequences are “morons.”
- Randy was asked about why he’s been able to stay successful when other legends like Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock are no longer as efficient as they once were. Randy was uncomfortable with the comparisons but did say that one big difference is that he’s remained active and hasn’t subjected himself to prolonged periods where he was away from fighting.
- Koscheck was complementary towards St. Pierre but also confident. He didn’t really want to get too much into strategy so we’ll have to wait and see what he has planned for UFC 74. He was asked if he believes he can put GSP on his back and Koscheck basically said yes.
- It sounds like no decisions about the lightweight title will be made until after Sean Sherk has his hearing before the California State Athletic Commission in October.
- Dana did not rip the IFL. That’s big news. But I guess he didn’t rip them only because he was never asked.

It seems as if we will continue to wait for the return of Andrei Arlovski.
Undefeated heavyweight contender Brandon Vera is likely to face former division champion Tim Sylvia in his first fight back after settling a management dispute earlier this month that kept him out of action for almost one full year.
That’s the latest word from UFC President Dana White on today’s conference call to promote UFC 74: “Respect” on August 25. Props to Luke Thomas over at BloodyElbow.com for the scoop.
Vera and Sylvia were on a collision course to meet at UFC 68 in March. However, “The Truth” didn’t take the fight because of problems with his then-manager, Mark Dion.
What a difference five months can make.
Now, Sylvia is on the mend from recent back surgery, which he underwent following his loss to Randy Couture. He also caught the staph infection bug from the recent outbreak at the Miletich camp. Vera, on the other hand, hasn’t officially competed since his last appearance inside the Octagon at UFC 65 in November 2006.
Seems like question marks surround both fighters, who were seemingly at “the top of the food chain” before the influx of talent that has recently inundated the UFC heavyweight division.
Couture, Mirko Cro Cop, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Gabriel Gonzaga, Fabricio Werdum and Heath Herring have emerged as serious threats who have and will continue to make some noise in the once lackluster weight class.
Keep in mind: Nothing is official or signed yet — that includes a date and event location. However, if this fight does happen it will certainly not be a “warm up” for either fighter.
White mentioned in a press release yesterday that Vera could return as early as October, which would put him on the UFC 77: “Hostile Territory” card in Cincinnati, Ohio. If that doesn’t pan out there is always UFC 78 at the Prudential Arena in Newark, N.J.
Stay tuned for more details on the developing story.

UFC 74: “Respect” on Saturday, August 25, from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, is little more than one week away.
To check out the complete UFC 74 fight card click here.
It’s the first show in nearly two months for the organization, which up until this point has been on a blistering pace booking so many events throughout 2007. To make up for lost time, UFC 74 will kick-off a packed schedule that features four fight cards in less than one month.
Chances are the lull in action has helped you get back in the black in terms of pay-per-view (PPV) buys — my Comcast bill has certainly looked a little more reasonable lately.
If not, there are a ton of various sports bars, night clubs and other watering holes throughout the nation that will air UFC 74 live come fight night.
Often, these establishments charge a nominal fee at the door to catch the fights. And if you don’t want to tack on additional charges to your cable bill — or your buddies — then this is the next best option.
We grabbed the comprehensive list below from UFC.com. Keep in mind that it changes frequently — new spots are added seemingly each day. Therefore, check out UFC.com for the latest locations airing UFC 74 nearest you as it gets closer to fight night.
Remember: UFCmania will provide LIVE updates, results and round-by-round coverage during the PPV portion of the UFC 74 telecast. We’ll provide “quick” results for the non-televised bouts.

This was the week I was supposed to finish my column of the “Ten Biggest Overachievers in MMA” as a followup to my “Ten Biggest Underachievers in MMA.” However, I had an urge to speak out about the current status of Fedor Emelianenko and weigh-in with my two cents about where he should fight next and why.
You can read my Op/Ed piece on Fedor by clicking here.

The nightmare is over; Brandon Vera is returning to the UFC and everything is right with the MMA world once again. Well, maybe not completely right until Fedor signs with a major fight promotion and we finally get to see Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva, but Vera’s return to the active fighting scene is a great thing nonetheless.
In case you missed it, the UFC officially announced yesterday that Vera could be fighting again as soon as October. The announcement did not contain any definitive information about what date Vera will be fighting on and who it will be against.
With no mention of an opponent, the wheels began spinning in my head with thoughts of who I’d like Vera to fight in his first match back and also who I think is the most logical opponent for him based on logistics.
I wanted to share my comments with everyone but I want to first state that the analysis listed below is PURE CONJECTURE and is based on no factual evidence or inside information. I’m simply trying to have some fun by speculation so please don’t claim FiveOuncesOfPain.com is reporting anything.
Now that we have that out of the way, let me break down the list of potential candidates for Vera to possibly fight:
- Tim Sylvia - A match between Sylvia and Vera at UFC 77 has been rumored by several sites the past few weeks. I think a match with Sylvia makes a lot of sense because it presents a great storyline considering the two were in line to face each other at UFC 68 this past March. We all know what happened and Randy Couture is now the UFC heavyweight champ and Vera and Sylvia aren’t. If Vera comes out and drops the hammer on Big Tim, then you have the whole plot line that “The Truth” would be the heavyweight champ right now if it weren’t for problems with his manager. Stylistically, I’m lukewarm on the match but from a marketing perspective Sylvia is the best opponent for Vera. However, chances are we won’t see it as Vera’s first fight back because Sylvia is recovering from back surgery and a staph infection. I don’t see how he could be ready in time to fight in October.
- The winner of the Mirko Cro Cop vs. Cheick Kongo match at UFC 75 - Normally I would just bypass any mention of Kongo and just reference Cro Cop but after his loss to Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 70, I’m not taking anything for granted. Cro Cop vs. Vera would be a strong co-main event on any UFC card and a match between the two before year’s end is not out of the realm of possibilities. However, I don’t see it happening as Vera’s first fight. UFC 75 isn’t until September 8 and UFC 77 is in October. Cro Cop has made quick turnarounds before while in Pride but I just don’t see him coming back so soon to fight an opponent the caliber of Vera. If Cro Cop defeats Kongo and Vera wins his first match back then perhaps we’d get to see the two face each other on the UFC’s card scheduled for December 29 with the winner becoming the number one contender for the heavyweight title?
- Tito Ortiz or Chuck Liddell - We can’t overlook the possibility of Vera dropping down to light heavyweight. While the UFC’s press release talked about Vera returning to the scene as a heavyweight and made no mention of a possible move to light heavyweight we have to take into consideration that the UFC’s heavyweight division is not only better but bigger than it was when Vera last fought this past November. I think we’ll see Vera drop down in weight at some point but I just don’t see it happening anytime soon. While Ortiz has not officially signed to fight Rashad Evans, it’s expected to happen meaning that all the top light heavyweights in the UFC are booked. That is, unless Wanderlei Silva has officially signed. Hmmm… Nah.
- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - I’d love to see it and Nogueira currently is not scheduled for another fight so Big ‘Nog vs. Vera has a legitimate chance of happening in October. From a future planning perspective, I’m not so sure it makes sense. Both fighters haven’t reached their full marketing potential and a loss by either fighter would be a major setback. A match with a lose/win proposition is really a lose/lose for the UFC when there are win/win possibilities out there. Doesn’t that make perfect sense?
- Winner or loser of Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Randy Couture match at UFC 74 - Stylistically a matchup between either Gonzaga or Couture would be great but I don’t think we’ll see Vera vs. either guy for the same reasons why I don’t think we’ll see him face Nogueira in October. Matches with Vera against either of the three are all possible in the future but the timing just isn’t right. Vera needs a win before fighting for the title and coming back in October to fight Vera might be too ambitious for the loser.
- Fabricio Werdum - A lot of people are bitching about Karo Parisyan and Andrei Arlovski (and rightfully so) not having matches lined up but why isn’t anyone championing Werdum’s cause? Is it just me or does it feel like the UFC is punishing both Arlvoski and Werdum for having a crappy match at UFC 70? If the UFC views Werdum as nothing more than a gate keeper at this point and they want to give Vera a layup then maybe this matchup might work? Then again, Werdum is a very dangerous opponent and if he upset Vera then I don’t think the UFC would feel like they could make something good out of a bad situation. If they are going to put Vera in with a dangerous opponent then they should do so against someone who carries more marketing potential.
- Wes Sims - I just wanted to see if you were paying attention. How Joe Lauzon of me?
- Andrei Arlovski - The old Pitbull vs. Vera would be one helluva match that could result in a double knockout. But the old Arlovski has been replaced by some new guy who is trying to be some fancy fighter who fights not to lose as opposed to fighting to win. If there’s anything that can bring back the old Arlovski then perhaps it’s Vera, a man who fights like he was shot out of a cannon. If Arlovski tried to fight a defensive fight against Vera then he’d have to run in circles because Vera would likely push the pace for the entire duration of the fight. If Arlovski doesn’t want to engage then Vera would likely be more than happy to bring the fight to him. Stylistically, this match has a lot of potential and the marketing potential in the short-term and long-term is also strong. Vera vs. Arlovski could sell some tickets and pay-per-views and the winner of the fight would be in a strong position to challenge for the heavyweight title in their next bout.
After a thorough review of the contenders, when you look at all the angles (potential match quality, box office appeal, and future planning) I don’t think there’s a better matchup for Vera than a bout against Arlovski at UFC 77 in October with the winner being granted a shot at the heavyweight title.

“… I think they’re making me a warm-up fight for Chuck…[laughs] but I don’t think he’s going to look at it like that … match-ups make fights. Maybe Rampage is, uh, the way he matches up against Chuck He’ll probably beat Chuck 7 out of 10 times. Chuck and me is a totally different fight. I think before or after the Rampage fight it doesn’t matter. I think that I can surprise some people with some of the stuff I’ve learned … as far as my game plan I never really have one. It can go to the ground I have my skills that I stick with. But I think now with my training and everything, I’m finally coming together into a complete well-rounded MMA fighter. I polished my boxing and everything is a lot better including my ground game. I think your going to see a totally different Keith Jardine … it’s going to be [a ver fan-friendly fight], definitely…. I beat Chuck that puts me in line right again for the title shot.”
– Quote mash from Keith Jardine talking to HacNews.com about his upcoming fight with former light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell at UFC 76: “Knockout” on September 22 and more, including his upset loss to Houston Alexander at UFC 71. He also mentions that before the he was offered the Liddell fight he wanted to face 205-pound standout Mauricio “Shogun” Rua on the same card in Anaheim, Calif.

According to GracieFighter.com, an announced fight between Jake Shields and Antonio McKee scheduled for October 19 is off:
Despite having resigned from the IFL and having signed with a new organization, Antonio McKee found himself in somewhat of a jam when IFL representatives pointed out that his contract was an exclusive one and that they had no intention of allowing him to fight elsewhere. After legal issues were brought up and the threat of an injunction loomed over McKee’s fight with Shields, it became clear to all parties that this fight would not happen.

There’s a bunch of news pertaining to the radio projects that I’m attached to so I decided to merge all of the info into one post:
- Phone calls to be taken on Inside the Cage - Some of you asked for it and starting a week from this Saturday, you’ll get it! Matt Cava and I have set it up so that you’ll be able to call into “Inside the Cage Radio” starting with our 8/25 show. Because of the configuration of the production studio, we won’t be able to screen the calls. When you call in, your call will be picked up live on the air ala Larry King (”Caller, you’re on the air!”). I will have more information next week.
- Luke Thomas of BloodyElbow.com to be guest contributor on Inside the Cage this week - This week’s edition of “Inside the Cage Radio” will be available Sunday morning as opposed to Saturday evening. Don’t worry, it’ll be worth the wait because Luke Thomas from BloodyElbow.com will be joining Matt Cava and I for our special UFC 74 preview show. Be sure to check out Luke’s recent article as to why he believes my prediction that Josh Koscheck will beat Georges St. Pierre will be proven incorrect by clicking here.
- Fantasy Football Radio is back on ESPN 920 - For those of you in the Philly area, “Fantasy Football Radio” hosted by me and John Floyd will return to the airwaves this Saturday on ESPN 920 at its new time, 9 a.m. ET. If you have any questions about your upcoming draft, feel free to call the show at 866-459-ESPN. We’ll be previewing wide receivers this week going over our top tens, sleepers, and busts. Please help spread the word that Fantasy Football Radio is back!The station hasn’t set up the template so that the show can be streamed online as of yet but when the stream is available, I’ll let everyone know so that people not in the Philly area can listen if they’re interested in. For those of you who can’t listen, I can post my notes up here after the show. The fantasy site I co-owned, XpertSports.com, was sold several months back so as of now, I won’t be writing fantasy football for anyone. If there’s any interest in having some fantasy football content posted here, let me know. And of course, John and I will continue to host “The Saturday Morning Sports Hangover” right after the fantasy football show.
- Check out the Inside the Cage Radio affiliates - I wanted to remind everyone to check out the first affiliates for Inside the Cage: Pancrase.org and MMAHQ.com. If you are interested in becoming an affiliate for the show, e-mail me at SCaplan8@comcast.net.
