2013 is the year Alistair Overeem wins the UFC Heavyweight title I feel.  He always had a solid fight team in Holland, but now he is rolling deep with the Blackzillians in Florida. 

Training with the likes of Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort, and Anthony Johnson will take Overeem to the next level.  This behemoth already has elite level kickboxing skills to pair with a body of a super hero.  Pause.  The Reem 3.0 is in a league of his own right now.

Check out the latest episode of ‘The Reem’, which is by far the best MMA video series on the internet.

Check out last night’s main event in Brazil, old lion Vitor Belfort takes on the brash Michael Bisping.

The godfather of Steroids, Victor Conte, was recently on the Joe Rogan podcast.  He drops some serious knowledge regarding performance enhancing drugs and how many fighters are actually doing them.

“There’s such an intense moment when two people that are going to go to war the following day and they’re peering into each other’s souls.  It’s hard to describe, but to someone that’s a huge fan of MMA like me it’s a massive honor to be there just a foot or two away to witness them locking onto each other after months of preparation.”

My buddy and combat sports vlogging extraordinaire, Bloodstain Lane, is hands-down the G.O.A.T. of video blogs.  This is the only video blog to watch if you are a MMA or Boxing nerd.  Check out his latest hilarious video recapping UFC on FOX 5 and the Pacman/Marquez 4 fight.

BJ Penn is at a crossroad in his illustrious career right now.  The Hawaiian smashing machine is looking at a fight where he is heavy underdog, and many fans have questioned his logic for taking the fight with Rory MacDonald.

But based on all the news and videos leading up to Penn’s fight on Saturday, it seems like BJ has a renewed passion for fighting and certainly for his own legacy.  He wants to be the Greatest, and if he plans to be the G.O.A.T, he first has to stop the young and very hungry MacDonald.

Damn, Dominick Cruz can’t catch a break.  According to reports, his MCL has healed but his ACL has not.  He will be out for another 6-9 months. 

Meanwhile, Renan Barao is the interim Bantamweight champ and will most likely face Michael MacDonald next.

My top 5 greatest fighters of all time goes as follows, Fedor Emelianenko…BJ Penn…Anderson Silva…GSP…and Kazushi Sakuraba.  My top 5 dead or alive rappers are Biggie, Nas, Pac, Eminem and Ghostface.  Well alot of people do not have Sakuraba on their lists, but look this legend up!  BJ knows, real recognize real.
