MMA Madness

Medical suspensions have been handed by from UFC 103, and all fighters were suspended for at least seven days. MMA Junkie is reporting that Mirko Cro Cop is suspended indefinitely and will need clearance from a doctor to return to the Octagon.

Rich Franklin is in the light heavyweight title hunt, or the middleweight one for that matter. So he bides his time taking interesting fights, and he has another interesting one when he takes on Vitor Belfort tonight at UFC 103.

Frank Trigg is older, and despite it, he wants to make one more run at the welterweight title. Unlike good friend and trainer, Randy Couture, Trigg only wants fights that will get him closer to another title shot.

Heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Mirko Cro Cop both want to become the heavyweight champion. But one man is willing to bide his time and earn his way, and the other expects he is two victories away from a shot at the strap.

Efrain Escudero is prepared to shock the world. In his first fight since winning the “Ultimate Fighter” in December, Escudero has prepared for opponent Cole Miller to the point where he says he knows everything that Miller is going to do. If anyone is picking Miller, Escudero is excited to prove them wrong.
