KO Coverage By A KO Look-A-Like: UFC 190- Rousey vs Correia

Undefeated UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey defends her title against the also-undefeated Bethe Correia.  Rousey asked for this fight to take place in Brazil on Correia's home turf to make a statement about her personal issues against Correia after Correia defeated two of Rousey's teammates and made disparaging remarks against Rousey.  Will the Mike Tyson of MMA have another gif-length dominating performance, or could the Pit Bull be the one to dethrone Ronda Rousey?

Undefeated.

This card isn't just a one trick pony, however.  Mauricio "Shogun" Rua faces Antonio Rogerio Nogueria, Stefan Struve fights Minotauro Nogueria, "Bigfoot" Silva looks to overcome "The Hulk" Soa Palelei, and Claudia Gadelha defends her rank #1 Strawweight position.

The former Champion hopes to keep up the momentum and get another win.

Mir suffered four losses in a row before defeating Bigfoot Silva earlier this year and hopes to stay on the winning path against Todd Duffee tonight.

KO Coverage By A KO Look-A-Like: UFC 189- Mendes vs McGregor

It is International Fight Week for the UFC and with Fan Expo and smaller events such as the Invicta FC 13 showing building up to it, the huge fight card of UFC 189 looms near!  With the champion Jose Aldo being a no-go due to a rib injury preventing him from being able to do the workouts needed to make the Featherweight limit, top-ranked fighter Chad "Money" Mendes has stepped in to face rising star Conor McGregor for the Interim Featherweight Championship. As he is known to do with his loudmouth, trash-talking style, McGregor took little time to build animosity between them by saying a plethora of insults to Mendes.

Mendes, McGregor, Lawler, MacDonald
Two titles are going home in two match-ups too close to call

Fighting for the Welterweight Championship is defending champion Robbie Lawler against Rory MacDonald, who previously fought Lawler to a split decision and is a protege of legend George St Pierre.  Also, Matt Brown and Tim Means face each other in an exciting Welterweight match-up.

KO Coverage By A KO Look-A-Like: UFC Fight Night 70: Florida- Machida vs Romero

The real-life version of Street Fighter's Ryu is back in action! Coming off a devastating loss to new #1 contender Luke Rockhold, Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida returns to the octagon to fight rising star Yoel "Soldier of God" Romero.  Can the aging Dragon come back with a win or will he fall to the Soldier's blade?

Hey, I get 3/4ths of the frame.
Star power, bitches!

KO Coverage By A KO Look-A-Like: Bellator 138- Shamrock vs Slice & UFC Fight Night 69: Berlin- Jedrzejczyk vs Penne

A rare Friday-Saturday combo of KO Coverage all in one place.  Due to being on the West Coast of California, I can't do the usual live blog, but will be providing full play-by-play of the events of both the Bellator 138 and Fight Night Fight Pass exclusive fight cards.

A combined age of 92, but, hey, I wouldn't
want to fight either of them.

First up, is Bellator 138: Kimbo Slice vs Ken Shamrock, with the most dangerous man on the planet (circa 1999) facing the baddest backyard warrior Youtube had ever seen.  Shamrock had some success in the WWE before returning to MMA to continue his legendary fighting career, but at 51 years of age can he still stand in the cage and fight like he used to?  Kimbo Slice never found huge success in the bright lights of the UFC's main stage, but he has high-level name recognition and instant stopping power. Will he be able to drop Shamrock?

KO Coverage By A KO Look-A-Like: UFC 188- Velasquez v Werdum

The UFC Undisputed Heavyweight Championship is on the line for the first time in over a year!  Cain Velasquez, the man who took the title by beating Brock Lesnar in just over four minutes with furious punches, returns for his first title defense since October 19, 2013 to face the interim champion, Fabricio Werdum in Mexico City.

The Quickening is on the way!
Who is of the Clan McCloud?

In the remainder of the main card, we have Gilbert Melendez (4) vs Eddie Alvarez (9) in a Lightweight bout, Kelvin Gastelum (10) vs Nate Marquardt in a Middleweight fight, Yair Rodriguez vs Charles Rosa in a Featherweight match, and Tecia Torres (5) vs Angela Hill (15) in a Women's Strawweight contest.

"Y u do dis to me?"

   Welcome to "On the Last Episode Of..." where we recap the past week of the ongoing saga that is "The No Kayfabe Zone."  In this past week:

KO Coverage By A KO Look-A-Like: UFC Fight Night 68: Boetsch vs Henderson

Hendo comes into NOLA to face a Barbarian!  Dan Henderson faced Tim Boetsch in a Middleweight bout! Who will win?

Also, Ben Rothwell faced Matt Mitrione in a ranker's war in the Heavyweight division that proved to be an impressive performance and Dustin Poirier looked to solidify his move into the Lightweight division after a tough loss to Conor MacGregor. 

Despite having no women's fights on the card and Daniel Cormier v Ryan Bader being canceled so Cormier could win the belt two weeks ago, we should have another great night of fights!

KO Coverage By A KO Look-A-Like: UFC Fight Night 67: Condit vs Alves

Another night full of fights! While there's only one huge name fighting, this Brazilian-stacked card taking place in Goiania should have plenty of warriors working to make a major statement.

The Natural Born Killer vs The Pitbull
Condit travels to Brazil to reinvigorate his stake as a top welterweight

Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" Condit (29-8, rank #4) tries to rebuild some momentum towards earning a title shot in the welterweight division as he takes on "Pitbull" Thiago Alves (26-9, rank #12) who is on a two-fight win streak.

Nik Lentz (27-6-2, rank #9) and Charles Oliveira (19-4, rank #8) face off in a Featherweight bout to move up the ranks and earn a chance to call out the winner of the hugely anticipated Aldo v MacGregor UFC Featherweight Championship match.

See who comes out on top with live update coverage on all the hits and submissions.

KO Coverage by a KO Look-a-like: UFC 187- Johnson vs Cormier

UFC 187 is here and the stakes could not be higher! With both the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Championships on the line, this is a card for the ages.

Three contenders, two titles. 

All-American Chris Weidman (12-0) faces UFC veteran Vitor Belfort (24-10), who made his UFC debut at UFC 12, which means he has been in MMA for the last 175 PPV bouts and has 22 more fights of experience. But Weidman is a fierce warrior who in only 12 fights has established dominance over the division and his position as the champion.

After several tribulations, Light Heavyweight king Jon Jones was stripped of his title. With the title now vacant, the #1 and #3 ranked contenders Anthony "Rumble" Johnson and Daniel "D.C." Cormier will fight to claim the greatest prize in the division. It's a classic match-up of a talented boxing striker in Rumble and an Olympic level wrestler in former bronze medalist contender Cormier.
