Inspirational featherweight ?Rad? Martinez joins Bellator roster

Typically a MMA promotion signing of a 24-year old fighter with a 9-2 record and an All-American wrestling background would be viewed as little more than the addition of an exciting new prospect to the organization?s roster. However, in the case of featherweight Radley Martinez the story goes much deeper as countless fans learned after [...]

The sixteenth edition of Strikeforce?s ?Challengers? series of events is now over and done with, and what a strange event it was.

UFC 132 picks, Vegas-style: Questions marks on both sides in Silva vs. Leben

Whoever lands the first huge shot could decide the Wanderlei Silva-Chris Leben fight at UFC 132 on Saturday. Beyond that, there are too many questions to answer before coming up with a real solid pick on the fight.

Silva's been off forever, and as far as the fight game goes, he looks like an old 33. Before each fight, Leben's mental game is always in question. On last week's UFC 132 conference call, he admitted to overlooking Brian Stann and now he's in awe a bit of Silva.

Who comes out on top? Larry Pepe from ProMMARadio and MMAWeekly's Damon Martin joined me on RawVegas.tv to pick the fight. The guy were on opposite ends of the spectrum in this middleweight showdown.

Bonuses, professionals and more UFC on Versus 4 notes

PITTSBURGH -- In the aftermath of the UFC on Versus 4 bouts, bonuses were given out and fighters talked about their nights.

-- $50,000 bonuses were awarded to Charles Oliveira and Nik Lentz for Fight of the Night, Joe Lauzon for Submission of the Night, and Knockout of the Night to Cheick Kongo.

-- Brenneman, who had his original fight with T.J. Grant canceled, then stepped in at the last minute for Nate Marquardt, called the week surreal. He also said that he made weight so that he could get his show money. The waiting on if he would fight or not was hard, but he stayed calm about it.

"What can I do but sit there and wait for it to happen and be a professional?"

-- Rick Story was put in an odd position as his opponent changed. "I was prepared to fight a kickboxer with jiu-jitsu, not a shorter attacking wrestler. He got the better of me this time."

-- The attendance for the event was 7,792, and UFC president Dana White said that the UFC's first trip into Pittsburgh, "Didn't suck."

-- Matt Mitrione worked at Xtreme Couture with kickboxer Ray Sefo before this bout, particularly on the combination he used to knock Christian Morecraft out. He said the moment was just right to use the combination.

"I thought, what the hell, I might as well try it."

-- In Pat Barry's loss to Cheick Kongo, he came close to finishing off the man who eventually beat him. It appeared that referee Dan Miragliotta was going to stop the fight. Barry said that he did, for a split-second, think that the bout was going to be stopped, but that didn't stop him from attacking Kongo.
