Sickening Arm-Snap Video of the Day: John Gettle vs. William Kowalski
February 28th, 2010
Before you click play on this Raw Vegas video, you should be warned that it features an arm being snapped like a pretzel stick in a fashion so nauseating you are very likely to throw up on your computer. Not trying to freak you out or anything. We just want you to be aware of what’s about to happen, so you don’t ruin a couple thousand dollars worth of electronics equipment and then try to blame it on us. Do we understand each other? Good, now go ahead and play it.
See, what did we tell you? What you’re seeing there is John Gettle, who is a student of Frank Mir’s, doing something terrible to a young man by the name of William Kowalski at a Tuff-N-Uff event in Las Vegas on Friday night. Somebody must have been filling Kowalski’s head with that 'Jesus didn’t tap' malarkey, because he held on in that kimura like he was waiting for his heavenly father to jump in and lend a hand. You can see for yourself how well that worked out.
Maybe it's the sound of his arm cracking like a dry twig, or maybe it's the way the limb snaps back like a rubber band that's been stretched too far, but this is high in the running for the grossest arm break in MMA history.
Jose Canseco admits he was ill-prepared for MMA debut, still angling for second chance
February 28th, 2010
Former Major League Baseball great Jose Canseco has often found himself as the center of a controversy.And from steroid-use tell-all novels to "Celebrity Boxing" appearances, the 45-year-old Canseco has never been one to shy away from the spotlight.
Such was the case in 2009 when Canseco traded in his outfielder's glove for a pair of the four-ounce variety to face Hong Man Choi in DREAM's "Super Hulk" tourney. That effort didn't work out too well, but Canseco hopes fans will see that he's deserving of a second shot.

The co-main event at Friday night's Strikeforce Challengers card ended in disappointment, when Trevor Prangley accidentally poked Karl Amoussou in the eye and the doctor on the scene ruled that the fight had to end because Amoussou couldn't continue. Now both Prangley and Amoussou say they want to get back into the cage soon, and Strikeforce should book their rematch for its March 26 Challengers show.

Stratus CEO Paul Feller sees co-existence, not competition, as goal of new ProElite
February 28th, 2010
Since ProElite, Inc.'s inception in December 2006 as the "new big
player" on the MMA scene, the question has been how it plans to compete
with the UFC.With brash figurehead Gary Shaw serving as ProElite's face, the company got swept up in that race as it continued to hemorrhage money. But after 20 months of operations and $55 million burnt, it closed up shop.
Paul Feller, CEO of Stratus Media Group, the company that assumed control of ProElite, Inc. this week, said his goal is not to be the next promotion to challenge the UFC.

Vazquez on Pulver Fight: I Have To Win
February 28th, 2010
Frank Curreri, WEC - Despite his opponent's recent stretch of bad luck, 11-year pro Javier Vazquez knows better than to underestimate a former UFC Champion. A Rodrigo Medeiros Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Vazquez sternly dismisses talk of there being an "Old Jens Pulver" and a contemporary Jens Pulver whose skills have slipped over time.
