Sherdog has had two pieces featuring Pascal Krauss. One listed Krauss as the third ranked undefeated European Prospect . Also, Sherdog featured Krauss in a Prospect Watch piece. Check out those links for more in-depth look at Krauss. Also check out MMA Planet’s top prospects for more of the sport’s prospects.

The UFC has made no secrets about their desire to go global. They have expanded to various new markets in the last year or two including Germany, Abu Dahbi, and Australia. They also have plans to invade China, India, Brazil, mainland Europe, and even a possibility of Japan. When the UFC brings a show to those venues they like to have native fighters on the card. I am sure Krauss is hoping to be what Bisping has been for the U.K., St. Pierre has been for Canada and what Sotiropolous has been for his native…

Japanese MMA superstar Yoshihiro Akiyama kept his promise of defeated Chris Leben at UFC 116 after stepping in with only a few weeks notice for Wanderlei Silva.

…Japanese MMA superstar Yoshihiro Akiyama was defeated via triangle choke by Chris Leben at UFC 116, who stepped in with only a few weeks notice for Wanderlei Silva. Akiyama came out strong and caught a kick from Leben to take him to the ground but used his counter punching to stop the early storm. Both fighters went to the ground later in the first round with both fighters attempting arm bars and submissions. Akiyama’s Judo throws gave him the advantage in the first round as he used his superior ground game to take Leben down at will.
Both fighters came out strong in the second with quick combos that landed on the chins of both fighters, but Akiyama again took down Leben with very little resistance. Leben eventually got Akiyama in a front choke but Akiyama quickly pulls out of it.

What caused Shane Carwin’s body to seize up at UFC 116?

What do you think?

…not watched or stole the feed. From the sheer volume of emails I received with this particular question, the number must be huge.

Adrenaline dumping is a very popular phrase in the worlds of fitness and combat sports. It truly is not common medical terminology. The phrase appears to be used to describe some of the characteristics associated with a surge of epinephrine (adrenaline) released during extreme physical exertion (sports and/or fighting).

An epinephrine surge prepares the body for the classic fight-or-flight scenario: significant increase in heart rate, rapid breathing, glucose surge in blood for energy, heightened awareness, sweating, etc.

It is interesting to note that this is the same physiology involved in an anxiety attack.

Unfortunately, this level of readiness expends a great deal of energy. Therefore, it cannot be maintained for long. That is why veterans of the fight game will often admonish combatants to “stay relaxed” and “slow your breathing” in hopes of blunting the epinephrine…
