Arianny Celeste, UFC ring girl and quite possibly the hottest video game character EVER, is making her appearance in men’s magazine Maxim. Fuck it, I really don’t have much to say! Just look at her. I’m already drooling.

Chuck Liddell is back in the gym after his reality television stint on Dancing With The Stars. According to his chat with Sherdog Radio Network’s “Savage Dog Show”, “The Iceman” still wants to fight in the UFC even after getting knocked out in his last two fights.
“We’re still talking, so we’ll see. I still love fighting. I don’t know what we’re going to come up with. I’m going to start spending a lot of time training guys or get back in there –- one of the two”
After being knocked out by “Shogun” Rua, UFC president Dana White, who is also Liddell’s former manager, came into the Octagon and announced Liddell’s retirement. We haven’t seen or heard anything about him except for his Dancing competition.

“Who would have thought the WWE champion would be the UFC champion? You never know what can happen in the fight game. I’d love to see it happen, it’s a long shot but I’d love to see it.”
The above quote is from UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn when the champion was speaking with the The Sun (based out of the UK). Essentially, it’ll happen. Why would it not? It’s pretty well understood that Dana White likes to create fights that will make him, his organization, and his parenting company a lot of money.
In response to a question during an interview with Yahoo! Sports, Dana White had this to say after being asked if WEC fighters would lose their edge if moved to a bigger cage like the UFC’s.
“Actually, we’ve been talking about making the Octagon smaller. We’re considering making it smaller. [UFC matchmaker] Joe Silva wants it. I think he wants to turn the thing into a [expletive] bathtub. Have them fight in a little tollbooth,” said Dana White.
What do you, the reader, think of this idea? Would it be a good move or a bad move? Personally, from a fighter’s view-point, I think it would mix it up and make more things interesting and a lot more entertaining in the UFC.
Former UFC vet and The Ultimate Fighter season 4 winner Travis Lutter achieves his first win against Jason MacDonald unanimously decided by the Maximum Fighting Championship judges. This marks his first professional win since being cut by the UFC after losing to both Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva.
Most remember Travis Lutter for one of two reasons, if not both: winning TUF season 4 by defeating Patrick Cote by submission and/or not making weight in what should have been his Middleweight championship fight against Silva.

I could probably interview Roy Nelson if I really wanted to, but I know I would criticize him for his actions on and off the mat when it comes down to his fight with Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson on last week’s episode of TUF: Heavyweights.
Since beating Kimbo in the second round due to a TKO of strikes and basically smothering Kimbo (could we legally claim this as attempted murder?), Nelson has been all talk. Even Dana White has commented on the fact that Nelson thinks he did something greater than what actually took place.
The third episode of The Ultimate Fighter’s 10th season showcased a much anticipated fight between YouTube sensation Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson and former IFL champion Roy Nelson. What advertisements from TUF, Spike, and the UFC failed to mention to the fans is that the fight, honestly, showcased Kimbo and Roy’s lack of technique in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, respectively.
After the fight was over, and when I was texting and tweeting asking people’s opinion on the clusterfuck that I had just witnessed, Dana White was seeing dollar signs.
As the site’s head writer and self-proclaimed Editor-in-Chief, I would like to say welcome to FightStopTalk.com. This site was developed after I had grown weary on using the domain name as my personal blog. The name comes from an Arkansas band called Starkz.
The song name meant a lot to me a few years ago when I was still in high school. It seemed that I would always rather fight and then talk later, which is basically what happens in the sport of mixed martial arts, right?
So, now you know the story behind the domain and site name. That was a waste of 30 seconds of your life, but the MMA will come soon enough.
