MMA News – Stephan Bonnar officially retires from MMA
Stephan Bonnar confirmed his retirement via Facebook following UFC President Dana White’s announcement during a MetroPCS chat on Tuesday night.
‘The American Psycho’ (15-8 MMA, 8-7 UFC), 35 years old, recently was on a three-fight win streak, before facing the legend Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva: after an 11-month layoff, the light heavyweight Bonnar in fact returned to the cage this past month at UFC 153 in a late-notice opportunity in Brazil against dominant UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in a 205-pound non-title fight.
The match had no story, he lost via first-round TKO and Silva seemed to mock him during some exchanges (= Anderson Silva vs Stephan Bonnar)
“Huge thanks to every UFC fan out there!” Bonnar stated on Facebook. “All I ever wanted was to bring ya’ll some fun…hope u
MMA News – Cage Warriors 49 from Wales: full fight card and pre-fight interview

Cathal ‘The Punisher’ Pendred (overall 10-2-1) had the
MMA News – Rashad Evans dreams to face Anderson Silva!
Video interview Rashad Evans vs Anderson Silva
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans after his lost against reigning champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones at UFC 145 in April, hoped to come back in the Octagon as soon as possible, but it’s not going to happen, at least not by the end of this year.
It’s not his fault, but because there aren’t many fighters left available for Evans before 2013: Jones is recovering from an injured elbow from his last fight with Vitor Belfort (= Jon Jones vs Vitor Belfort) and stepping into a coaching role on TUF 17, Dan Henderson is also in the midst of rehab, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua is lined up to face Alexander Gustafsson, and Forrest Griffin is scheduled to fight with Phil Davis.
Evan’s desire, however, is an interesting name… Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva.
There are many pretenders to Silva’s title belt, and however ‘The Spider’ wants to face
MMA News – WWE Champion CM Punk talks about Dave Batista debut in MMA
Dave ‘Batista’ Bautista made his MMA debut (= Dave Batista vs Vince Lucero) Saturday Night earning a first-round TKO win over the veteran Vince Lucero. But, as we know, the performance wasn’t really good, and there were critics about his slowness and clumsiness. Unlike other former pro wrestlers as Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashely who passed to MMA, Bautista had no amateur wrestling experience. Because of that, WWE champion CM Punk says that Bautista deserves more time to be judged:
“It’s definitely a bucket-list kind of thing. I think it’s awesome, too. Dave just wanted the experience. He wanted to fight even if
