I'm King of the WEB!!

That's right shedians! I've got another web video! But, I may not be done with this site, yet! There are rumors of a photographer and some still photos to be shown . . . wait for it . . . on a billboard! LOL! I was kind of hoping it was a local company, because there's a billboard right outside my company president's window, but, alas, they are from Scottsdale, AZ. I'll keep you all posted on the potential posting.

Pats signing

The New England Patriots have struck a deal with veteran free agent inside linebacker Paris Lenon, according to Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe.

Per the report, the transaction likely takes the Patriots out of the running for former St. Louis Rams starting linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa. Tinoisamoa has visited the Patriots, Chicago Bears and the Buffalo Bills.

“Paris is excited to finally be a part of a winning organization and eager to contribute in whatever way Coach [Bill] Belichick and his staff see fit,” agent Jon Persch told the Globe. “Now, quite simply he’s eager to go to work.”

Lenon, 31, recorded a career-high 121 tackles last season for the Detroit Lions, leading the 0-16 team in tackles.

He has a previous stint with the Green Bay Packers.

The Patriots were in need of some proven experience at inside linebacker after third-round pick Tyrone McKenzie suffered a season-ending knee injury at a rookie minicamp.

Shed Fight Night Update- Schedule

Hello fight night fans..It's been I while since my last post, as the world of MMA has been a bit silent for a few weeks...but we've got some exciting fights coming up this month as well as a possible Shed Fight Night Event.

A few news items to report:

- Charles "Mask" Lewis, the founder of TapouT, and one of the most recognizable faces of MAA, died in a car crash a few weeks ago.




- The Tim "The Main-iac" Silvia (former UFC heavyweight Champ and former Main Resident ) vs. Ray Mercer MMA fight, was switched to a boxing match and then cancelled as the Nevada State Athletic Commission would not sanction the event....

- The BJ Penn/GSP Greasing saga continues as BJ's team formally submits an 18 page protest of the fight to the commission and several of GSP's past opponents report that he was "unnaturally slippery" when they fought as well (insert joke)...but then again, GSP did kick all their A$$'s, so take those comments with a grain of salt (or Peppers)


Upcoming Events:
Wednesday Arpil 1 UFC Fight Night...FREE event on Spike TV..

Only a few marketable names on this card, the headliner is the Carlos Condit/Martin Campman Fight...Condit, who held the WEC title until they eliminated the weight class, jumps into the deep end of the pool to test his skills against a dangerous kickboxer in Kampman...but Condit should win this fight as he is a beast...

Also on the card is A Shed Correspondent Favorite, and local guy, Jorge (hor-hey) Rivera...His fights are always exciting, great standup fighter.


UFC 97 Saturday April 18 Shed Fight Night?

The headliner on this card is Anderson "The Spider" Silva vs Thales Leites ...now, as we know Anderson Silva is arguably the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world.... some folks have Fedor as #1..but it's close...we may actually find out..as I've head rumblings of proposed super fights between the top three fighters in the world have been swirling (Silva vs GSP and Silva vs. Fedor)...the GSP/Silva fight is a lot more realistic as they are both under contract with the UFC, they only fight 15 pounds away from one another and a catch weight fight at 180 is workable...but Silva would be at a big disadvantage if he fought Fedor who fights at about 235...though I think Silva would still win... Silva also said this week, that he wants to fight Roy Jones in a Boxing match...!

Anyway..Thales Leitis has absolutely no shot to beat Anderson Silva...no matter how much they want to pump up Leitis to sell tickets..

I haven't even told you the best part about this card...The return of Shed Favorite Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell...after a tough 2008, The iceman starts his road back to the the title when he faces off against mauricio "shogun" Rua. Shogun is top 5 in the world at 205, but he has been unimpressive since joining the UFC and I think the Iceman is going to put him to sleep within the first minute.

That's it for now from your Friendly Shed Fight Night Correspondent...

Pat's Opener: 9/14 Monday NIGHT Game vs. Buffalo!!

That's right Pat's fans! Summer is almost over! The Red Sox are undefeated in the regular season, and it's almost time for the Pat's Opener! The Commisioner is supposed to announce today that the 50th Anniversary of the AFL and 40th Anniversary of Monday Night Football will be celebrated with the return of Tom Brady and a duel between arguably two of the best wide receivers in the game today: T.O. and Randy Moss. Of course, we all know who will win the game and the wide reveiver battle! But, we'll let them play to prove it! So, relax and enjoy what's left of the summer, because it's going to be a fast and furious start to the much anticipated opener!

SPICE IS NICE

IF YOU'RE ASKING ME, PLEASE PASS THE PEPPER. PEPPER GOES GOOD WITH EVERYTHING, FROM COMFORT FOOD TO X'S AND O'S. PEPPERS IS CLOSE TO 290 AND A SACK MACHINE. THE SPECULATION IS THAT THE PATS WILL MOVE HIM TO OUTSIDE LINEBACKER, AKA WILLY M. I LIKE THIS MOVE , PLEASE PASS THE PEPPER.

SALT AND PEPPER(S)

i LIKE SALT ON SOME OF MY FOOD, DO ANY OF YOU LIKE PEPPER ?

Shed Fight Night Recap UFC 96

Even though your friendly fight night correspondent was unable to make the event, a nice crowd gathered on Saturday to watch UFC 96..

As promised by yours truly, we saw a nice group of exciting fights with the exception of a few duds. Here are some of the highlights:

Quinton Jackson Defeated Keith Jardine: Unanimous Decision

In a pretty good back and forth fight, Rampage grabs victory from the jaws of an either/way decision with a left hook with 10 seconds remaining, sending Jardine to the mat.

No real fireworks in this one, but both guys came to fight. The highlight of this fight may have been the pre-fight stare down..and then the trash talking between Rampage and Keith Jardine's best Friend and Light Heavyweight belt holder Rashad Evans.... These two are set to square off in May for the title. That is if Rampage accepts the fight on short notice. With Frank Mir's knee injury, the Brock Lestnar/Mir fight was pushed to July (UFC 100) and They need to push up Rashad's title defence to the May Show. Pencil in May and July for great shed fight nights...UFC 100 is set to be the biggest card of all time ( Let's not buy into this just yet ) ...with both the the heavyweight title and the welterweight title on the line ..G(rease)SP vs. Tiago "Pitbull" Alves also


Gabriel Gonzaga Knock out cold by Shane Carwin Shane Carwin

The Hype rolls on with Shane Carwin (the only fighter in the world who wears bigger gloves that Brock Lestner...4XL) getting rocked early, then dropping Gonzaga with a short right hand. Carwin actually works a full time job as an mechanical engineer and only trains part time, so the sky is the limit as he makes fighting his full time Career. This dude has to cut about 20 lbs to make the 265 heavyweight limit and may have the second best one-punch knock out power in the world... I'd still take Fedor any day.. Can't wait to see Lestner/Carwin...that is if Lestner can get by Mir...who looked unstoppable against Nogera a few months ago..


Matt Hamill Destroys Mark Munoz with a vicious head kick

This was, in my opinion, the fight of the night...with shed favorite Matt "the hammer" Hamill dominating Mark Munoz from the opening bell until he landed a crazy head kick that crumpled the former NCAA D1 Champ..

Good to see the Hammer continue to improve his game...he even out wrestled Munoz...but on the down side... Hamill still fights like the terminator...walking straight at his opponent with his hands down, chin up, and reaching for all his shots...the guys at the top of the 205 division will eat him up until he adds some D to his game. I would have thought that The Rich Franklin fight would have showed hamill that he needs to change it up a bit...but I didn't see anything different from him...well except for that crushing, lead-pipe shin to Munoz's Face! Hope that guy is ok..looked like Rogen and Goldberg were dancing the 2 step to distract us from the fact that they had a stretcher and EMTs called in.


The dud(s) of the night
1) The number one dud of the night was the Brandon Vera Mike Patt fight. As predicted, this was a gimme fight for Vera...who really needed a win to justify his spot in the UFC. They paid him a lot of money and he hasn't looked good at all since dropping from heavyweight. This was clearly a fight that was put together so Goldberg could ramble on about Vera's Mui Tai skills and the fact that he is now a dedicated fighter and "back"... I'm not buying what they're selling here. Patt looked 35 lbs overweight and out of his league...it felt like the intercontinental championship was on the line and Tito Santana was gonna run out from the dressing room at any moment. I was huge Vera Fan when he was fighting at heavyweight...although he can make the cut to 205, his skills seem to translate better at heavy...preying on bigger, slower guys.. The jury is still out on Vera butd I don't think they can just keep feeding him Mike Pratts for long before everyone else notices.


2) The Refs: Normally I think the refs do a pretty goob job in the UFC...but as the volume of shows increases, we see more new, inexperienced faces wearing the obligatory black polo and rubber gloves. A non televised fight with Shane Nelson was stopped way to early and the Matt Brown / Pete Sell fight was halted at one point when Sell was in deep trouble, then the ref let the action continue when he saw Sell was ok to continue? What the F? There are no standing eight counts in MMA...then the ref let the fight go on so long that Matt Brown felt bad having to smash Sell in the face any more.....Bring Back Big John McCarthy!! Let him clean this mess up.


3) Gray Maynard Vs. Jim Miller: I was somewhat proven wrong with this one with Gray Keeping the fight standing mostly, but he still fought for the W...not to finish...he had many opportunities to finish this fight, but instead opted to step out, circle, check the clock, throw a jab, step out, circle, check the clock... Gray could win 100 fights in a row, but won't make a main card until he's willing to risk it all and throw down.


That's it from your friendly Shed26 Fight Night correspondent....
