Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell has put his name on a new line of suppliments called Iceman Rx. It was announced this week that Liddell has struck a deal with online retail giant Amazon.com. Chucky tells all in the vid clip below.

Here is the official press release:

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2008 — After years of experience with intense training sessions and the supplements that have proven to effectively support those workouts, UFC fighter Chuck Liddell is introducing a new product to the sports nutrition market. Originally designed to maximize his training, this patent pending formula is now being made available to Amazon.com customers.

“Getting Chuck’s product live on Amazon is just a perfect marriage between two verifiable heavyweights,” says Mitch Gould of NPI who assisted in the negotiations. “Amazon obviously has a huge online presence and a reputation to match,” added Mitch.

The first product available via Amazon.com is a two-step system. The Pre-Workout formula aids in development of strength, training intensity, and stamina. The post-workout formula helps with muscle recovery, refueling the body and muscle growth. Together they form the patent pending Iceman Rx Complete 2-Step Package. (more…)

I caught Quinton Jackson’s boxing coach, Juanito Ibarra, on camera without his signature hat. It came to me that this was the first time I’ve ever seen him with an exposed dome. It was a quick clip on The Ultimate Fighter, but here is a better view.

Juanito is a pretty dynmanic guy and a site called ThaFomula.com posted a good interview with him. It’s a good chance get the perspecitve of one of the top trainers in all of mixed martial arts.

thaFormula.com - Let’s get into your background Juanito for those that don’t know…

Juanito Ibarra - Well I’m a Mexican American and proud to be. I’m from San Pedro California. I grew up there and got into fighting when I was young. I used to like to fight. I got into martial arts because I wanted to actually learn how to fight. I got busted up there when my trainer broke some ribs and I decided to go to a boxing gym and got mentored by the best boxing people in the world and the lord has blessed me with teaching skills. That’s where he took me and that’s where I found my skills.

Props to Sean Sherk for giving it his all, but this photo pretty much sums up his night at UFC 84 in his fight against BJ Penn. Ouch!

In case you were one of the few MMA fans on the planet that didn’t catch last night’s UFC event, fellow MMA fanatic Michael Hans has provided some guest commentary for The Punch. His thoughts on UFC 84 (FYI, I wholeheartedly agree with points number 1 and 4):

1) Loved the Penn fight. He dominated and I would like to see him rule the lightweights for years to come. I know why he wants to fight GSP, but that’s for personal not professional reasons. He wants to beat the one guy who is a true challenge for him and avenge his lost to George. If he stopped and looked at it from a professional stand point. He should stay at 155 and have three to four title defenses a year. He could be the Matt Hughes of the lightweights and rule the weight class for the next five years. If he goes up and fights GSP what does it do for the sport? If he loses, it devalues the lightweight belt, if he wins, is he going to just stay up and fight at middle weight? The UFC needs marketable champions at every weight class. Dominant fighters that they can bring in multiple guys in to challenge and get their asses handed to them. That’s what made watch Hughes’ title run so fun. I say, let GSP and Penn defend their belts for as long as possible.

2) Jardine went down like I thought that he would. I like the guy, but his chin doesn’t match up well with an aggressive heavy hitter like Silva or Houston Alexander. The only reason he was able to beat Liddell was because Liddell is a counter puncher. He was not aggressive and let Jardine control the fight. If you are fighting Jardine, you need to come at him hard and take a chance, hit him right and you will knock him out.

3) Keep your eyes on Goran Reljic. This Croatian sensation has it and I expect him to be a top contender in a few years. His over 80″ reach is off the charts. He has dynamic power in his kicks and just the right look and fighting style that fans pay to see. Granted he almost got KO’ed last night, but you could also say that he kept his his composer, fought back and had a entertaining fight for his first time in the UFC. How many fighters over the years have you had to hear that fighters have to get use to the lime light and that it takes a couple fights under the pay-per-view lights to get their bearings. This 24 year old kid looked good, and he could have a belt some day.

4) Shocker. Lyoto is boring. My buddy, Backdoor, says, “Lyoto is a strategic fighter.” I say, people pay good money to see a fight not a track meet. Engage or go home! If Machida fought with Silva’s passion he would be a hell of a fighter, but he doesn’t and never will. This guy needs to only fight aggressive risk takers. His next fight, if he even gets one, should be against Silva and then we’ll see if he will engage or run. My bet is that Machida will bring his track shoes.

5) Palhares looks good. Real good. Glad to see Sokoudjou get a TKO. I like the guy and he needs to string some wins together.

6) Shocked to read this morning that Heavyweight, Shane Carwin, was a division II National Wrestling Champion. You throw in his punching power, with what I can only assume is dominate ground game, and you got the makings of a great fighter.

In another installment of MMA Fix on Raw Vegas.tv, Dave Farra catches up with former Pride champ Wanderlei Silva during a training session for his upcoming fight at UFC 84. There is some good footage of Wandi doing some endurance training with his nose taped shut and breathing through only a snorkel. Now that Silva is off the roid, he needs to step up the intensity naturally. I give him points for originality and resourcefulness.

Wanderlei also covers his thought on his match against Keith Jardie as well as reflects on his fight with Chuck Liddell.

With Joe Rogan noticeably absent from the commentating booth at UFC 83 in Montreal, there have been rumors out there in the MMA community that Rogan had split ways with the organization. Unless you were very excited to have Kenny Florian join Goldie on the broadcast, don’t worry as Rogan says he will definitely be back for UFC 84. I think KenFlo did a solid play-by-play job his first time round, but Rogan really is the voice of the Octagon and I’ll be glad to see him back. Rogan squashed all rumors of his UFC departure last month on his blog:

There’s been a lot of goofy articles written on the internet lately about me missing the UFC card in Montreal this weekend, speculating all sorts of silly reasons why I’m not going to be there, so I figured it would be a good idea if I cleared it up here.

The only reason I’m not going to be there is because of a family obligation. I’m certainly not upset at the UFC, and I’m not quitting to start doing commentary for a rival organization. I’ve also heard some ridiculous shit about me having massive fallout with the UFC president Dana White, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Dana is a very good friend of mine, and in the 7 years I’ve known him we’ve never even had a single disagreement. He’s a controversial dude, and a wild motherfucker, but that’s why he’s the perfect president for the wildest sport in the world.
