DREAM’s Super Sweet Sixteen
by Adam Lawman
DREAM’s sweet sixteen will be a lot like MTV’s “My Super Sweet Sixteen” except for the lack of spoiled, stuck up rich kids and there will be a lot more awesomely talented MMA fighters. There won’t be any ponies or surprise appearances by T-Pain but Lenne Hardt will be there and will be screaming her heart out like she’s slaying a dragon with her voice alone. Plus, like I said, some badass fights with badass fighters.
Last night at a DREAM press conference the event producer Keiichi Sasahara, announced three new bouts for their upcoming show plus there has also been confirmation today on another rock solid bout. This card will be rawesome to the tenth power.

Fact: The UFC is home to the best lightweights in MMA
by Adam Lawman
Today there was a very puzzling piece posted on BloodyElbow.com by founding editor Kid Nate. He questions that if Frankie Edgar, Gray Maynard and BJ Penn are the best at 155lbs in the UFC, then they may not have the best lightweights in the world. His reasoning is that since Edgar beat Penn and in turn Maynard got the best of Edgar, that the UFC’s carousel of talent takes away from their overall success. He mentions that the UFC has 6 of the top 10 lightweights (per the rankings outlet of which they are a part of) but that the 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th best are all outside the Zuffa owned fight organization. While I see where he is coming from, I have to disagree wholeheartedly. Sorry, Nate.
Lightning Strikes Twice: Frankie Edgar defeats BJ Penn again
by Adam Lawman
Frankie Edgar completed his masterpiece Saturday night in Boston. The artist of the octagon used jabs and kicks as his brushstrokes and painted the perfect victory over BJ Penn. If there were doubts after their first match up at UFC 112 about who was the better fighter, there surely aren’t anymore. The question was answered and a career was defined. Frankie Edgar proved to the world that he is one of the best fighters at 155lbs in mixed martial arts today.

The battles fought, the dust settled, and three warriors have been crowned Kings of Kombat.

Nick Diaz vs KJ Noons rematch set for Oct. 9th in San Jose
Strikeforce has issued a press release announcing that Nick Diaz will indeed defend his Strikeforce welterweight title in a rematch with KJ Noons at the October 9th event that will take place in San Jose, CA.
Yesterday, in the ”Strikeforce Insider” newsletter, the company accidentally listed “Diaz vs Noons” on the ticket information for the event so this isn’t a huge surprise, but many people had more desire to see Diaz and Jason Miller settle their unfinished business instead.
Diaz and Noons have some friction themselves spawning from when they squared off in Elite XC previously, but it’s been so long that most fans don’t remember or, frankly, don’t care.
