?Minotauro? Nogueira pleased to see Anderson Silva fired up for Chael Sonnen fight

UFC middleweight Chael Sonnen?s attacks on Anderson Silva haven?t always been relegated to the fighter himself but also the company he keeps including countrymen, training partners, and even his wife. One of the many Brazilians rubbed the wrong way by Sonnen?s antics also happens to be a fairly accomplished competitor inside the cage as well [...]

With Vladimir Putin watching, Fedor Emelianenko knocks out Pedro Rizzo

MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko notched another win in St. Petersburg, Russia, knocking out former UFC heavyweight contender Pedro Rizzo in the first round. With Russian president Vladimir Putin looking on, Emelianenko leveled Rizzo with a right hand then followed him to the ground to stop the fight.

Emelianenko now has three wins in a row after losing to Fabricio Werdum, Antonio Silva and Dan Henderson in Strikeforce. Before that, he was an unstoppable force, racking up 31 wins, one loss and one no contest.

Before this bout, Emelianenko told Russian television this fight would be his last, but he did not talk about retirement in his post-bout interview. It remains to be seen if "The Last Emperor" is truly done with MMA.

UFC 148 Recap: Silva Defeats Sonnen, Forrest Edges Tito

The long-awaited rematch is now over, with Anderson Silva again standing victorious with the UFC middleweight title. The Las Vegas card provided plenty of reaction from top to bottom of the PPV card. In the co-main event, Forrest Griffin edged Tito Ortiz in a sloppy but entertaining bout. In other action, Cung Le, Demian Maia, Chad Mendes, and Mike Easton all notched victories on the PPV card.

Tito Ortiz ends career with a gladiator helmet, a loss and a bonus

It's not often athletes know the exact time and hour of their retirement. Instead, many walk away after injuries or a depreciation of skills keeps them from the game. Those reasons play into Tito Ortiz's retirement. Back injuries and three losses in his last three fights pushed him towards retirement, but Ortiz was lucky enough to know when his time was up.

He walked in with a pointy gladiator helmet, paying homage to the UFC's early days. He walked out with a shirt reading, "I helped build the sport that build me." In and out of the cage, he understood his role as the bridge between the UFC's early, banned-from-TV-days to the celebrity-filled, money-making corporation it is today.

In between, Ortiz and Forrest Griffin fought to a decision again. Griffin won, again. The fight showed why Ortiz is on his way out. Though he clipped Griffin at one point, Ortiz couldn't pull out the win.

Perhaps because there weren't many other options, or perhaps because the UFC brass was truly moved by their performance, Ortiz and Griffin won $75,000 Fight of the Night bonuses. As Ortiz starts retirement, the money is much nicer than any gold watch.

With the youth of the UFC, it's hard to know what Ortiz's legacy will be. It's not like comparing the effect Michael Jordan had on the NBA to what Bill Russell did for the league. MMA fans will have plenty of time to debate what Ortiz will mean to the sport in the long term.

For now, just enjoy a man walking out from the cage when he knew the time was right. Thanks for the memories, Tito.

MMA Marketplace: Rich Franklin?s not-awful UFC 147 Affliction walkout shirt

Among the companies who sponsor fighters and make MMA clothing, Affliction is at the bottom of the ladder. Its clothes are usually badly designed and overpriced, but with their shirt for Rich Franklin for UFC 147, they did alright.

It's a cool, aviator nod to his nickname "Ace," and though a skull is used, it's not overdone. It's still ridiculously overpriced at $57.95, but at least it's not ugly and overpriced.
