In this latest episode of “MMA Fix,” Jens Pulver, Dean Lister, Troy Mandaloniz, David Terrell and Nick Thompson, who is coming off his big win at BodogFight, discuss the legitimacy of the WEC and BodogFight versus the UFC.

MMA Fighter Frank Mir is fresh off a training day and settles down with the wife, the kids, RawVegas.tv and some family friends for dinner. As UFC 81 fast approaches, Frank talks about how his choice of profession affects his marriage and family life.

Here’s some footage from www.rawvegas.tv with front and center coverage of UFC’s Tito Ortiz as he celebrates his 33rd birthday at the Cathouse in Vegas.

Interview features Mike Tyson (who appears to be spaced out), Troy Mandaloniz, Jenna Jamison of course (who seems to be joined at the hip with Tito), and Kendall Grove.

Stick around until the end of the video, Jenna gets nasty on stage.

Of course Ricco “The Buffet King” Rodriguez didn’t say it to Kimbo’s face, but instead made that comment in an interview on Tagg Radio. I reckon if he would have said that to Kimbo’s that he would have be KTFO. Sure, Kimbo has yet to be truly tested in MMA but what has Ricco done lately (besides acting like an a-hole on celebrity rehab? I’m not exactly sure what Ricco has against Kimbo Slice, but he had a lot of smack to share during the interview, including:

“Kimbo Slice is a tomato can to me, and he’ll always be a tomato can to me. The reality is, what has he done to prove himself? He hasn’t fought anybody. So, to me, he’s nobody.. There’s so many other athletes out there that have better skill… There are other top contenders right now. Kimbo Slice to me is just a clown… He’s a dancing monkey. You put him against a guy like Ken Shamrock; Ken’s going to run right through the guy. He beat up Ray Mercer? Ray Mercer never wrestled a day in his life.”

Talking up himself and Ken Shamrock?? Wow, this guy is stuck in 2002.

Kendall Grove is a well known stoner, the likes of Nick Diaz, Joe Rogan, and Eddie Bravo. But damn, according to him he actually fought his first six MMA fights baked. CagePotato.com has an exclusive interview with Kendall that includes Grove as saying:

See, marijuana is a touchy subject. I’m a rock star — I’ve been smoking weed since I was in the 6th grade, I can openly say that. But I’m also clean when I fight. I cut that shit out — I’m a professional. Don’t get me wrong, my first six fights, I fought high, I fought stoned. But when you get to this level, you have to take responsibility. It’s your job. I stop doing that stuff three months out. I just think they blew it way out of proportion. What did they say with Nick Diaz? “Oh, him smoking weed made his pain threshold higher—”

The rest of the interview covers topics such as his current training (which doesn’t seem all that intense), his upcoming fight against Jorge Rivera at UFC 80, what it’s like to deal with Dana White, his thoughts on the next season of The Ultimate Figther and more MMA stuff. Check out the rest of the goods here.

IFL’s champ (no former, the IFL is not renewing Ben’s contract) had a long phone interview with Bob Parson of Carson’s Corner. During the interview Ben Rothwell made several unflattering remarks about former teammate and former UFC champion Matt Hughes. Such as, you ask? How about,

To Pat Miletich, “I don’t like the guy. I don’t want him here (in the gym).”

“I can’t say I won’t be happy if St. Pierre gets another head kick through.”

“I never really liked him. He always had a bad attitude.”

And prior Ben made some other remarks on the Sherdog forum a couple of months ago,

“He treats people around him poorly and has no respect. Really when I hear him talk about God and do this and do that and I love my wife, I want to puke you (Hughes) couldn’t look anyone in the face anymore, and you f-ed Monte (Cox) and Pat (Miletich) over and the fucking gym that MADE YOU”

Hughes always seemed like an A-hole on The Ultimate Fighter so none of this comes of a surprise. It’s really unfortunate that Hughes isn’t 35lbs heavier and Rothwell 35lbs lighter cuz it would make for a fun fight.

Here is the full audio from Ben’s interview on Carson’s Corner.
