Daniel Cormier doesn't look like the prototypical new age, massive heavyweight, but he proved Saturday that athleticism and technique will usually beat the giants of the division. Cormier, a former Olympic wrestler, flashed excellent boxing in dropping Antonio "Big Foot" Silva twice in less than four minutes. On the second occasion, Silva couldn't recover and referee Greg Franklin jumped in to save him at 3:56 of the first round at U.S Bank Arena in Cincinnati, OH.
Cormier, a late replacement for the deposed Alistair Overeem, advanced to the finals of the Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix. The 5-foot-11, 247-pound Cormier was ecstatic seconds after the fight.
"It was great man," Cormier shouted to the crowd during his postfight interview. "I fought one of the top five heavyweights in the world and knocked him out. Give me some respect now!"
Even with his wrestling background, Cormier has constantly had to address the issue of dropping down to light heavyweight. But Saturday was a prime example of what a skilled heavyweight can do against one of the big boys of the division. Fighting out San Jose's American Kickboxing Academy, Cormier's growth as a fighter was on full display. His hands were relaxed from the start and he threw punches in bunches.
Silva is a massive 6-foot-4 and probably fights in excess of 280 pounds on fight night. Against Cormier, he looked like a statue. The smaller fighter worked effectively behind a double jab. Just 45 seconds into the fight, Cormier dropped Silva with a well-placed overhand right. Silva stayed on his back and Cormier wisely chose to stay out of his guard to get the fight back on the feet.
The next two minutes looked like Cormier was putting on a boxing clinic. Silva was too slow to defend himself. He nearly went down again after getting drilled by a left hook with 3:30 left. A little over two minutes later, Cormier dropped the hammer on Silva with a beautiful three-punch combo.
"I hit him with the jab, left hook, uppercut," said Cormier, speaking of the finishing flurry. "He's no Cain Velasquez and that's who I train with everyday."
Velasquez, the UFC heavyweight champ, is the No. 1 big man in the world right now. If Cormier truly hangs in the gym with that beast, we know why he's so good. Cormier landed an amazing 26-of-38 (68 percent) strikes. He delivered this upset as a plus-125 underdog.

Overeem, the pre-tourney favorite and former Strikeforce heavyweight champion, was dumped from the tournament because an injury and management squabble with Zuffa, the parent company of both Strikeforce and UFC. That dispute was settled this week and Overeem was signed to a new deal with the UFC. He faces Brock Lesnar on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas at UFC 141.

Alan Belcher showed that 16 months off didn't hurt him as he took out Jason MacDonald at Ultimate Fight Night 25 on Saturday evening in New Orleans.
Belcher outclassed MacDonald from the beginning of the fight. MacDonald tried for a takedown but ended up falling backwards with Belcher on top of him. Belcher took advantage of the position, ground and pounding MacDonald. Though MacDonald tried to spin away, it was too much and MacDonald submitted to strikes at 3:48 in the first round.
This was Belcher's first fight since beating Patrick Cote in May of 2010. Belcher suffered an eye injury, and had to have surgery that put his fight career in doubt. He worked back to be able to fight in his home state of Louisiana.
"I'm so emotional right now. I've been through so many trials and tribulations. I'm back, baby," Belcher said.
This win gives Belcher a record of 17-6, while MacDonald falls to 25-15.

Carlos Condit has just one loss since the middle of 2006. He's a former WEC world champion. Condit has every reason in the world to be brimming with confidence, but now he's facing the virtually unbeatable UFC weltrweight champion Georges St-Pierre. That doesn't matter to the 27-year-old Condit. He's been dying to get this shot.
When he was offered the fight by Dana White, he wept a bit. He asked White to give him 15 minutes to compose himself. Emotions were running high.
"I've been at this for a really long time. I've been fighting professionally for almost 10 years. Finally, getting a chance to fight for the UFC title is incredible," Condit told The Big Lead.
St. Pierre hasn't lost since a shocking knockout at the hands of Matt Serra at UFC 69 in April of 2007. He's 9-0 since and hasn't lost too many rounds. He broke Josh Koscheck's eye, destroyed Jon Fitch, steamrolled Matt Hughes, beat the snot out of B.J. Penn and crushed Serra in the rematch.
That resume doesn't intimidate Condit.
"Georges is very good at what he does. He's got great wrestling. He's got some very, very quick, effective strikes. I imagine I may end up on my back a few times, but I'm pretty good at getting up, getting back in position or attacking effectively off the ground," said Condit.
When fight is on the feet, Condit likes his chances.
"My standup is pretty dangerous so, I think that I'm going to be able to pose some problems that Georges hasn't seen before," said Condit.
The Albuquerque-native earned this shot with three nasty finishes of Rory MacDonald, Dan Hardy and Dong Hyun Kim. Hardy and Kim were both first-round knockout victims. Condit opened the eyes of management with two Knockouts of the Night and a Fight of the Night in those three wins.

Mostly Skateboarding turns six years old today. It started as a way to give my internet wandering purpose. That's pretty much what it still is today. I am so thankful for all the people who look at the site and make comments. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right. Thanks to Kevin Wilkins at The Skateboard Mag for giving me a job. Thanks to Shred or Die for buying footage from me when I lost my job. Thanks to those who have given me product and money. Thanks to my friends who put in work in front of my camera when I decide i want to make a montage.Thanks to my wife for too much to even mention. The biggest thanks goes out to all the skaters, filmers, and websites out there making videos. Without you I wouldn't have anything to post. Thanks to anyone else who has helped it means so much to me. Boresha

Kurt Pellegrino is a complex character. He always has been and always will be, so to no one's surprise the 32-year-old lightweight is coming out of his short-lived retirement to fight Patricky "Pitbull" Freire in November at Bellator 59.
Pellegrino fought 11 times for the UFC before deciding to walk away from the sport in late May.
"It's hard to make a decision like this, but I feel its best for me to step away for now and time will tell what the future will bring for me," Pellegrino wrote on his website. "I don't want to retire, but I need to find myself and find my love for this sport again. Hopefully you will see me in the cage again, but if not thanks to everyone for the memories, it's been an awesome ride."
The three and half months off did wonders for Pellegrino.
"I started working out again real hard," Pellegrino told MMAjunkie. "The summer has been amazing. I fell in love again with the sport. I had some demons. I had to kind of just walk away and be with my family for once."
The fight taking place 70 miles down the Garden State Parkway from his home in Pt. Pleasant, N.J. sealed the deal.
"I have an opportunity to fight for Bellator in my backyard where I started this whole game," Pellegrino said. "I started fighting in Atlantic City. I won two championship belts in Atlantic City."
Freire and his brother Patricio, both nicknamed "Pitbull" have emerged as two of Bellator's bigger stars over the last year or so. Pellegrino, who's been in there with guys like Joe Stevenson, Nate Diaz, George Sotiropoulos and Gleison Tibau, is a great litmus test for Pitbull (9-2). Freire is 2-1 with Bellator, posting wins over Toby Imada and Rob McCullough. He lost a decision to former Missouri wrestler Michael Chandler in the most recent Bellator lightweight tournament final.
