In addition to being a great fighter and "The Ultimate Fighter" coach, Dan Henderson is a great cornerman, here working for his Team Quest fighter, Krysztof Soszynszki. What he is not is someone who can pull off the hot fitted. That fitted? Not so hot, son.

Retirement in combat sports is a little different than in other sports. There is no vacillating about whether the game has passed the fighter by, as football fans watched Brett Favre do for years, because the proof is in the pudding. Quite often, the fighter is retired by another fighter. Sometimes, like with boxer Rocky Marciano, they will leave when still flawless, and won't stick around until their skills fade. But if you're the kind of guy or gal who likes to get punched in the face for a living, chances are you will hold onto your spot in the cage until someone rips it out of your hands.

This is what made Chuck Liddell's loss to Mauricio "Shogun" Rua so painful to watch. It wasn't just that Liddell was moving a touch more slowly, or that he was knocked out in the same exact fashion as he was in three of his four previous fights. It was that moment after the fight, when he spoke to Joe Rogan and you could see the look in his eyes. He knew that his spot in the cage had been taken

UFC 9 almost didn't happen at all.

The event’s existence, though, was questionable until the day of the show as political pressure was beginning to build on the organization. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., had begun to criticize the UFC publicly and Michigan officials nearly forced the card at Detroit’s Cobo Arena to be canceled. The card was held after a court battle and with the UFC agreeing that there would be no closed-fisted strikes.

UFC 10 saw the birth of a style that came to dominate the game for years to come.

The night ended up going down in history as “the birth of ground and pound,” as Coleman employed his wrestling takedowns to set up a brutal ground

On the previous two shows, Team UK's preliminary fights went off without a hitch. The Americans? Not so much. Two team members still need to be picked because of one fighter contracting the funk, and another one not making weight. So far, the team that has its crap together is the team who likes fish and chips and using the loo. Two spots still need to filled on Team USA.

The house looks like it was decorated by patriotic gang members on acid. There is one paining of Lady Liberty who looks more ready to fight than Cyborg did on Saturday night, and an anthropomorthized Big Ben with a scythe in his hand. When the two teams meet, they instantly break into a song and dance from "Oliver!" No, not really. They do the manhug, talk a bit. Santino DeFranco admits that he doesn't understand a lot of what they are saying, but their accent is cool. My thoughts exactly.

Who is the first guy who wants to get drunk and start trouble? Robert Browning, the brother of Junie. He decides

Watching Saturday night's broadcast of Strikeforce, I was neither impressed nor disappointed in their announcers. Mauro Renallo wasn't nearly as annoying as he can be, Gus Johnson was calmed down from his usual, freaking out self, and Pat Miletich was sometimes illuminating, and sometimes added absolutely nothing. Miletich was the genius who told us that Brett Rogers, a heavyweight, is a big man. Thanks for that, Pat!

Still, the constant overhyping of the importance of the events and the Strikeforce fighters also became old quickly. Did you know that Benji Radach could take out Anderson Silva? According to Renallo, that is true.

But what I did like, regardless of the performance of the announcers, was that there were three of them. The broadcast did not rely on one voice to carry, and another to play off of that voice. This gave each man a chance to give their take, offer their ridiculous puns, and make predictions. It made for such a better event that it makes me wonder why it isn't

Thanks, Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos. Thanks for setting back every female athlete about twenty years. Thanks for blaming your inability to make weight on menstruation, as if it's unexpected. It's not like you get it, say, every month.

Thanks for throwing out any advances that women have attained on the athletic field. It is already hard enough to get women's fights booked, but now, with your pitiful attempt at making weight, and then blaming it on a woman's problem, makes it seem as if all women are going to have the same problem.

Thanks for not cutting weight smartly. As you noted, women do have different bodies than men. We can't cut weight the same way. The way around that? Start cutting sooner. Don't have such a drastic cut, as you probably shouldn't have such a high starting weight. For that matter, do everything to cut those last pounds. Shave your head, cut off your fingernails, do whatever you need to do to ensure that this will not happen again.

There is no denying that Santos
