Chris Weidman asks Santa for UFC 139 victory
Fighters get creative in finding ways to win. They do ice baths, insane training, Spartanesque camps, and even drink their own urine. But Chris Weidman tried something new in looking for a win over Tom Lawlor on Saturday at UFC 139. He turned to Santa Claus.
Santa has no idea what the UFC is, but that's OK. He's pretty busy this time of year, so he doesn't know that Weidman is 6-0. The elves didn't tell him that Weidman won his last bout in a first-round guillotine, and that he is bringing excellent wrestling skills into the cage against Lawlor.
Hopefully, Santa and Mrs. Claus will have time to sit and watch UFC 139 on Saturday night before he has to appear in a little parade Thursday morning.

UFC on Fox 2: Is Sonnen vs. Munoz on tap? Should there be a qualifier fight before they get to face Silva?
Two of the top middleweights in the world posed for a photo during UFC 139. One looked like he was ready to scrap right there in the crowd. It wasn't the case, there isn't any angst that we know about between Mark Munoz and Chael Sonnen, but there may be soon.
If Anderson Silva is truly on the shelf until the UFC potentially hits Sao Paolo next summer, the promotion may book a Munoz-Sonnen fight. Between Sonnen's chops and Munoz's good-guy image, it'd be home-run promotion with the old-guard sports media.
Munoz is now 7-1 at 185 pounds and just posted a dominant win over Chris Leben at UFC 138. Sonnen, who dominated Silva for 23-plus minutes at UFC 117, just ran through Brian Stann at UFC 136.
When Sonnen appeared on ESPN1100/98.9 FM in Las Vegas two weeks ago it sounded like he was fine facing someone while Silva stayed dormant.
"I'm not going to sit around and wait for him. [...] I don't just need the title, I need to be the best fighter in the world. If there's someone who can knock me off and beat me then I don't deserve to be there. So God bless them and let that guy have his shot," said Sonnen.
After UFC 139, Dana White said there will be four fights on Jan. 28 in Chicago on the second Fox card. Sonnen-Munoz would be a great headliner, but is it fair to the fighters?

Older but wiser Dan Henderson returns to UFC with eye on two titles
No one leaves the UFC voluntarily. Dan Henderson broke that unwritten rule back in 2009 when he bolted for a bigger deal with Strikeforce. It appeared that he'd never fight for Dana White again, but crazy things happen in the world of MMA.
A nasty win streak combined with Zuffa's unexpected purchase of Strikeforce, has Hendo right in the middle of the mix again with the UFC. The former PRIDE middleweight and light heavyweight champ faces a fellow PRIDE veteran and former UFC 205-pound champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in the main event of UFC 139 tomorrow night in San Jose, Ca.
"I didn't know what to expect," Henderson told UFC.com's Tom Gerbasi. "When I left the UFC and went to Strikeforce, I didn't know what was in the future. It was always a possibility; I knew the UFC wasn't going anywhere and I know I didn't leave on bad terms at all, so it was a matter of how things worked out at Strikeforce. And (UFC President) Dana (White) missed me so much he had to go buy Strikeforce."
At the time, White thought Henderson (28-8, 5-2 UFC) wasn't worth the money he was getting from Strikeforce and that his style wasn't that crowd pleasing. Henderson changed that image by turning off the lights of Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Rafael Cavalcante and Fedor Emelianenko. Amazingly, he posted those dynamic finishes of three veteran fighters at the ages of 40 and 41.
Henderson seems to be getting better. The former Greco-Roman wrestling Olympian (1992 and 1996) says he's gotten more proficient at pinpointing what he needs to do before and during fights to counter the aging process.
"[...] Give me a week and I'll give you a list of what I used to be able to do. But the key is experience, knowing that I can relax in a lot of places where I used to not relax. I could keep going back then, but now I go when I need to go, and I put my energy and strength in the right places."
An impressive win by Henderson could put him in line for a title shot against Anderson Silva at middleweight or 205-pound phenom Jon Jones. Chael Sonnen showed holes in Silva's game. Jones is slowly earning the label of unbeatable, but Henderson doesn't agree.
"I do think that would be a fight I would enjoy. He's awkward and unorthodox and it creates something to think about and how to beat that, and that's what excites me these days," Henderson said. "I'm not one to buy into things too quickly. I've been doing this for a long time and seen a lot of guys beat a lot of tough guys really quick and then die out. I think he's going to be around a long time, he's just going to get better. But at this point he's still got a lot to improve on, and he's athletic and talented and he does learn. He's got a huge future, but I think he's got a little ways to go."
Henderson is excited about his future which could resemble a Randy Couture or Bernard Hopkins-like run down the stretch.
"I do this for the challenge as well, and not saying there's not tough guys to challenge me in Strikeforce, but the bigger fights and better matchups for me right now are in the UFC, so I think I will be retiring in the UFC, and not somewhere else," he said. "I'm not retiring soon, but I won't be going anywhere and I'll be fighting the remainder of my fights in the UFC I'm sure."
Anyone willing to bet against Henderson? With what we've seen recently, who can doubt him?

Chris Leben nailed again for banned substances, Dana White to stick by him during one-year suspension
Chris Leben has battled demons his entire career. Now he's got another fight on his hands facing a one-year suspension after testing positive for two banned substances following UFC 138.
For shows in the U.K., the UFC oversees drug testing:
Zuffa, LLC, owner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship� ("the UFC�"), today released information stating that middleweight fighter Chris Leben tested positive for Oxycodone and Oxymorphone following his Nov. 5 loss to Mark Munoz in the main event of UFC� 138 in Birmingham, England.
Leben, who served a one-year suspension back in 2008 and 2009 following UFC 89 for using Stanozolol, apologized.

TV gold: ?Angry? Sonnen walks off Canadian talk show
Sometimes it's hard to tell if Chael Sonnen is serious when he goes off certain media members. Often times it's part of the bit.
On Wednesday, during an interview on Canada's "Off the Record," Sonnen's act seemed pretty real. Towards the end of a contentious interview, Sonnen took off his microphone and bailed on the conversation.
OTR host Michael Landsberg began the discussion by asking Sonnen why he backed down from his challenge of "leaving the UFC" if lost to Anderson Silva in their eventual fight in 2012.
"You might want to take the base out of your tone, I'm not sure you know who you're talking to here, but I've never backed down from anything, so check your facts," stated Sonnen.
"What are you talking about?," asked Sonnen. "What is this, your first day on the job? You're mixing five different stories here. This is like doing amateur hour or something. What show am I on here? Is this for public radio?"
Sonnen said he couldn't back away from an offer, since the offer was never accepted by Silva. That's when his sharp tongue began slice away at Canada.
"That's not how offers work. Is that how you do business in Canada? Cause in my country, that created business, offers expire," Sonnen said. "I made him an offer, apparently it didn't work, he didn't accept it. It's not that I backed down, but apparently I need to present him with a new offer. You guys probably don't do that in socialism, but in America, in a capitalistic society, that's how things work."
Five minutes into the second take, Landsberg and Sonnen were still verbally sparring and the fighter decided to leave.
So who really snapped - Sonnen or Landsberg?

Michael Chandler pulls upset win over Eddie Alvarez at Bellator
While UFC 139 was on a break in San Jose, Bellator put on a fight of the year candidate that ended with a new lightweight champ. Michael Chandler submitted Eddie Alvarez in the fourth round to take Bellator's lightweight belt.
Chandler started swinging from the first second of the fight, wobbling Alvarez against the fence in the first 30 seconds. Though Alvarez survived, Chandler took the first two rounds by landing combination after combination. The back-and-forth of the fight didn't slow in the first two rounds, but it was Chandler who had the clear advantage.
Alvarez, who is widely considered a top-three lightweight, recovered in the third round. He pinned Chandler against the fence with unanswered punches several times.
In the fourth round, Chandler took over. He knocked Alvarez to the ground, followed up with ground and pound, moved to full mount, then took Alvarez's back in a rear-naked choke. Alvarez tapped at 3:06 in the fourth.
Alvarez had been the only lightweight champion in Bellator history. His last loss was in a heel hook to Shinya Aoki in 2008, and had rattled off seven wins since that loss. Chandler, who wrestled at the University of Missouri, is relatively inexperienced. He is 9-0 to Alvarez's 22-3.
But now, Chandler has proved that he is a force to be reckoned with, and Bellator gave MMA fans a fight to remember.
UFC 139?s Three* Stars: Henderson, Rua, Silva and McDonald
More than a day has passed since UFC 139 ended, and it's still running through my mind. I watched the NFL all Sunday, and I still couldn't stop thinking about the Henderson/Rua main event, Wanderlei Silva's unlikely win, and every other great performance that helped create such a memorable event. Below are Cagewriter's Three Stars. Tell us yours in the comments or on Facebook.
No. 1 star -- Dan Henderson: His walkout shirt read "Hearts and minds overcome all," and it turned out to be an indicator of the kind of main event that would happen at UFC 139. Henderson came out hard and seemed close to finishing off Rua early on, but used every bit of heart to survive in the later rounds as Rua dominated. Henderson extended his win streak to four, earned a title shot of some sort, and a $70,000 bonus. Not too shabby for a 41-year-old.
No. 1a star -- Mauricio "Shogun" Rua: The other half of Henderson's amazing fight deserves as much recognition as Henderson. He withstood punches that have knocked out Fedor Emelianenko, Rafael Cavalcante, and Michael Bisping. With his face bloody and swollen, Rua engineered a comeback that fell just shy of a win in the eyes of the judges.
No. 2 star -- Wanderlei Silva: A bit of magic abounds when Silva hits the cage looking like his vintage self. He showed why he has the nickname "The Axe Murderer" as he withstood Cung Le's kicks, and then earned the TKO in the second round. There is no guarantee that we will get to see much more of him in the Octagon as he has taken much punishment over his 15-year MMA career. Instead of worrying about what's next for him, let's just enjoy that his magic was present in San Jose on Saturday.
No. 3 star -- Michael McDonald: He's 20, he has unlimited potential, and he has another memorable win under his belt. McDonald's knockout left Alex Soto with a very short UFC debut, and earned McDonald a $70,000 Knockout of the Night bonus. That's a record of 14-1 for McDonald before he even becomes old enough to drink after his American fights.
*Yep, that's actually four stars.
De Rosario: "We want five stars above the crest"
Ben Olsen knew what he had acquired after only one game. While Dwayne De Rosario's legend was far from secret prior to joining D.C. United in late June, the club's Head Coach had to see it for himself in a Black-and-Red uniform. "[De Rosario] worked his tail off tonight - he's really a special player, and he's going to be a very good addition to this team."
UFC 139 domination: Faber fabulous in earning another shot against Cruz
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Urijah Faber was tired of hearing he didn't deserve an immediate rematch against Dominick Cruz for his UFC bantamweight title, so he took matters into his own hands and laid some lumber on Brian Bowles.
Faber crushed Bowles with an uppercut in the second. The Georgia native was stunned and eventually found himself on his back after Faber nailed him with a knee in close quarters. Faber went into overdrive on the ground. Bowles couldn't fend him off. Faber eventually got control of Bowles' head and locked him on a mean guillotine choke to get the submission victory at 1:27 of the second round at UFC 139 in the HP Pavilion.
[Related: Dan Henderson tops 'Shogun' in epic all-time battle]
Just seconds after the fight was finished, Faber (26-5, 2-1 UFC) immediately turned his attention to his nemesis Cruz.
"Dominick, you can run but you can't hide. Throw some gel in that widow's peak and let's do some work. Let's battle," Faber said.
Faber and Cruz brawled for five hard rounds at UFC 132. Cruz won via unanimous decision, but Faber believes the judges blew it. Before Saturday's fight, he admitted he needs to play to the judges more to get a win against Cruz, who is a whirling dervish that wins over MMA judges with his high-volume style.
Tonight, Faber showed some stones trading shots with the heavy-handed Bowles throughout the first. Bowles' lone path to victory was probably landing a big right hand. Faber's movement, fakes and speed threw Bowles off. He wasn't aggressive.
In the second, Faber took advantage of a very flat-footed Bowles. The 5-foot-6 Faber covered roughly five feet of space in a split second and landed the huge uppercut.
"I feel really good man. I feel great. I came out looking for the win and get a big finish like that. I think Brian Bowles is a warrior. I like that guy a lot. I had a general game plan going out there but I had to be ready. I'm sad for him but I'm really stoked for me right now," Faber said.
Bowles simply couldn't recover from the bomb landed by Faber.
"It was a tough fight, there isn't really much I can say about it. I went out there and I just really never got in my groove. Took a big punch, got rocked. He gave me a couple pounds on the ground and I didn't recover. I was rattled when he got the choke and I just never got back," Bowles said.

Daniel Cormier Explains Why He Didn't Try to Take Down Jeff Monson - Daniel Cormier
Daniel Cormier Explains Why He Didn't Try to Take Down Jeff Monson Video by Daniel CormierZaxby s Chevrolet Brad Keselowski Ruby Tuesday Dodge Carl Edwards
UFC 139 video: Faber, Bowles and Benavidez agree Cruz is good, but far from scary or unbeatable
Dominick Cruz has beaten three guys in attendance at today's UFC 139 prefight press conference, but that doesn't mean any of them would hesitate for a second if offered another shot at the 135-pound title.
All three respect Cruz, but don't view him as a dangerous guy.
"I wasn't having too much trouble hitting him. I hit him plenty of times. I just wasn't throwing as many punches," Faber said. "But he's not scary. I'll fight him any day. Every day, all day."
Faber lost to Cruz back at UFC 132. The fight was razor thin although the judges gave the unanimous decision to Cruz, 50-45, 49-46 and 48-47.
FightMetric had Cruz outlanding Faber 97-58. He also attempted 246 strikes compared to 181 by Faber. Cruz was 4-of-13 on takedowns as well. Faber explained today that he has to do a better job of playing to the judges, who he's not exactly fond of.
"I learned when you're doing P.R. and you're talking a really large group that isn't really familiar with mixed martial arts ... they're always saying 'hey, explain it like you're talking with kindergarteners who've never seen the sport before. I think i need to do that with judges," joked Faber. "I want to paint a picture that I'm winning this fight for someone who doesn't know what they're doing."
Faber knows Cruz is a good points fighter and he'll have to adjust his game if he's going to take out the champ the next time they meet.
"I have to be cognizant of the fact that I'm playing to a couple of people who's opinions matter. I don't like fighting like that, but sometimes you have to," said Faber.
Brian Bowles, Faber's opponent on Saturday night agreed that Cruz is good, but because he's awkward and essentially does everything you're not supposed to when striking.
Joe Benavidez, who lost to Cruz two times, said you really have to mix up the striking with some takedowns to win over the judges when you face the champ.

UFC 139?s Alex Soto moonlights as a dolphin trainer
When fighters are working up the ladder to the big time, they'll take any job to make ends meet. Cain Velasquez cleaned the mats at American Kickboxing Academy. Clay Guida was a fisherman in Alaska and then a union carpenter. Training to fight is a huge time commitment, and fighters need jobs that are flexible to deal with MMA's demands.
Alex Soto, who will make his UFC debut against Michael McDonald on Saturday, worked as a dolphin trainer. MMA Fighting reports that Soto works for the U.S. Navy, training dolphins. He started out at Sea World, when he volunteered to work with the animals because he wanted a challenge.
He'll face another stiff challenge at UFC 139, though this is not of the porpoise variety. He will face Michael McDonald on just two weeks notice. McDonald was impressive in his last three fights: a first-round submission of Clint Godfrey at WEC 52 and decision wins over Edwin Figueroa and Chris Cariaso in the UFC. Their bout will air on Spike before the pay-per-view fights begin.

What the sports world had to say about UFC on Fox
MMA fans of every background were excited to see Saturday night's fight on Fox, and that included many from the world of professional sports.
The NBA is locked out, so plenty of players had time to watch the fights on a Saturday when they would normally be playing games. That includes Luol Deng from the Chicago Bulls.
Both Arizona Cardinals star Larry Fitzgerald and Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia picked Cain Velasquez to win, and were impressed by Junior dos Santos.
Shane Victorino, who plays for the Phillies and is a longtime MMA fan, said that the fight turned out just as he expected.
But not everyone was as thrilled with the fight. Pro wrestler C.M. Punk and Philadelphia 76er Evan Turner were not pleased with the length of the fight.

UFC 139 postfight: Bonuses, company guys get wins and Faber could get Cruz plus TUF 15 coaching gig
SAN JOSE, Calif. - It was refreshing to see three guys who've had a large part in helping to build mixed martial arts were big winners tonight at UFC 139. Urijah Faber, Stephan Bonnar and Wanderlei Silva all made it to the postfight press conference.
Faber picked up an extra $70,000 Submission of the Night while Silva's explosive tilt against Cung Le got one of the two Fight of Night awards handed out by UFC president Dana White. Dan Henderson and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua also got $70,000 for FON.
- The event drew 13,173 and a live gate of $1.268 million.
- Faber took out Brian Bowles less than six and half minutes to seal the deal on another title shot against UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz. White confirmed that Faber is getting Cruz next, but that the champ is sidelined for a while with his latest hand surgery.
"We've got some ideas we were getting together tonight and talking about," White said. "We've got to talk to Urijah and Cruz first. Cruz just had hand surgery, so he's out for a little bit, but we have an idea. We have a plan."
When Faber made the suggestion that he and Cruz could be the coaches for Season 15 of "Ultimate Fighter," White raised his eyebrows as if to confirm that the pair have been discussed as possible candidates.
- Speaking of champs on the mend, Anderson Silva is working through shoulder issues. When a Brazilian reporter pressed White on reports that the promotion is headed to Sao Paolo, Brazil next June, he seemed shocked and wondered aloud how the news leaked. White didn't confirm or deny the report. When asked a followup question during his media scrum following the presser, White said it's very possible Silva could be held out until June.
- It's official that the UFC on Fox 2 will be in Chicago. White said the show will be two hours long and feature four fights. He would not elaborate on any of the candidates to fill the four main card fights at the United Center.
- UFC 139 Knockout of the Night went to 20-year-old Michael McDonald, who devastated UFC newcomer Alex Soto in just 56 seconds.
It's been quite a year for McDonald. He's 3-0 in 2011. Tonight, he likely made $7,000 to show and $7,000 to win. UFC 139's payday totals $84,000 for McDonald. He made $12,00 at UFC 132 and also won a fight of the Night bonus at Ultimate Fight Night 24 in March good for a total payday of $70,000. The Modesto-native has earned $166,000 this year.

Older but wiser Dan Henderson returns to UFC with eye on two titles
No one leaves the UFC voluntarily. Dan Henderson broke that unwritten rule back in 2009 when he bolted for a bigger deal with Strikeforce. It appeared that he'd never fight for Dana White again, but crazy things happen in the world of MMA.
A nasty win streak combined with Zuffa's unexpected purchase of Strikeforce, has Hendo right in the middle of the mix again with the UFC. The former PRIDE middleweight and light heavyweight champ faces a fellow PRIDE veteran and former UFC 205-pound champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in the main event of UFC 139 tomorrow night in San Jose, Ca.
"I didn't know what to expect," Henderson told UFC.com's Tom Gerbasi. "When I left the UFC and went to Strikeforce, I didn't know what was in the future. It was always a possibility; I knew the UFC wasn't going anywhere and I know I didn't leave on bad terms at all, so it was a matter of how things worked out at Strikeforce. And (UFC President) Dana (White) missed me so much he had to go buy Strikeforce."
At the time, White thought Henderson (28-8, 5-2 UFC) wasn't worth the money he was getting from Strikeforce and that his style wasn't that crowd pleasing. Henderson changed that image by turning off the lights of Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Rafael Cavalcante and Fedor Emelianenko. Amazingly, he posted those dynamic finishes of three veteran fighters at the ages of 40 and 41.
Henderson seems to be getting better. The former Greco-Roman wrestling Olympian (1992 and 1996) says he's gotten more proficient at pinpointing what he needs to do before and during fights to counter the aging process.
"[...] Give me a week and I'll give you a list of what I used to be able to do. But the key is experience, knowing that I can relax in a lot of places where I used to not relax. I could keep going back then, but now I go when I need to go, and I put my energy and strength in the right places."
An impressive win by Henderson could put him in line for a title shot against Anderson Silva at middleweight or 205-pound phenom Jon Jones. Chael Sonnen showed holes in Silva's game. Jones is slowly earning the label of unbeatable, but Henderson doesn't agree.
"I do think that would be a fight I would enjoy. He's awkward and unorthodox and it creates something to think about and how to beat that, and that's what excites me these days," Henderson said. "I'm not one to buy into things too quickly. I've been doing this for a long time and seen a lot of guys beat a lot of tough guys really quick and then die out. I think he's going to be around a long time, he's just going to get better. But at this point he's still got a lot to improve on, and he's athletic and talented and he does learn. He's got a huge future, but I think he's got a little ways to go."
Henderson is excited about his future which could resemble a Randy Couture or Bernard Hopkins-like run down the stretch.
"I do this for the challenge as well, and not saying there's not tough guys to challenge me in Strikeforce, but the bigger fights and better matchups for me right now are in the UFC, so I think I will be retiring in the UFC, and not somewhere else," he said. "I'm not retiring soon, but I won't be going anywhere and I'll be fighting the remainder of my fights in the UFC I'm sure."
Anyone willing to bet against Henderson? With what we've seen recently, who can doubt him?

Kampmann survives early rush, edges Story at UFC 139
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Martin Kampmann's been around for a long time, so he wasn't going to fold when Rick Story pressed him early. The veteran let Story gas himself and took over in the second half of the fight to pick up a split decision victory, 30-27, 29-28 and 28-29 in fight No. 2 of the UFC 139 pay-per-view at the HP Pavilion.
Story looked dynamite early in the fight. His volume was overwhelming Kampmann (91-67 strikes attempted), who appeared to be a little tight in the first three minutes.
"I feel good. You know I'm really happy but at the same time I'm disappointed. I promised you guys I'd go in and get a finish. My arms felt so heavy out there, like I had lead in my hands.�I came out here way too relaxed tonight and needed a few punches to wake up.�It's a relief to come out and get a win," said Kampmann.
Kampmann, who suffered a small cut on his forehead during the early onslaught, clearly has a chin, because he absorbed some heavy shots. It may have discouraged Story to see Kampmann standing in front of him shaking his head to show the shots weren't hurting.
Kampmann (18-5, 9-4 UFC) further broke Story's will with a very effective jab. By the end of the first round, which looked like it was going to be a cakewalk for Story, the American had his own cut over his right eye.
Story's a good wrestler, but he was taken down in each of the final two rounds.

TV gold: ?Angry? Sonnen walks off Canadian talk show
Sometimes it's hard to tell if Chael Sonnen is serious when he goes off certain media members. Often times it's part of the bit.
On Wednesday, during an interview on Canada's "Off the Record," Sonnen's act seemed pretty real. Towards the end of a contentious interview, Sonnen took off his microphone and bailed on the conversation.
OTR host Michael Landsberg began the discussion by asking Sonnen why he backed down from his challenge of "leaving the UFC" if lost to Anderson Silva in their eventual fight in 2012.
"You might want to take the base out of your tone, I'm not sure you know who you're talking to here, but I've never backed down from anything, so check your facts," stated Sonnen.
"What are you talking about?," asked Sonnen. "What is this, your first day on the job? You're mixing five different stories here. This is like doing amateur hour or something. What show am I on here? Is this for public radio?"
Sonnen said he couldn't back away from an offer, since the offer was never accepted by Silva. That's when his sharp tongue began slice away at Canada.
"That's not how offers work. Is that how you do business in Canada? Cause in my country, that created business, offers expire," Sonnen said. "I made him an offer, apparently it didn't work, he didn't accept it. It's not that I backed down, but apparently I need to present him with a new offer. You guys probably don't do that in socialism, but in America, in a capitalistic society, that's how things work."
Five minutes into the second take, Landsberg and Sonnen were still verbally sparring and the fighter decided to leave.
So who really snapped - Sonnen or Landsberg?

'Tapped Out' Author Talks Transformation From Pudgy Writer to Formidable Fighter
The first time I met Matthew Polly he was very, very drunk. I'm sure I'm not the only person who can say this. This was in a hotel restaurant before an IFL event at the Sears Centre in 2007, and I just wanted to eat a chicken caesar salad in peace. Polly, however, wanted to talk MMA, which he insisted he was writing a book on (sure you are, pal, I thought), and he wouldn't take polite silence for an answer. Needless to say, I don't remember that first meeting fondly. I doubt Polly remembers it at all.
It wasn't until months later that I learned Polly was actually the author of a somewhat famous memoir, American Shaolin, about the two years he spent living with the Shaolin monks in China and learning their brand of kung fu. It's a wonderful, hilarious book, and it was hard for me to believe that the dude who slurred at me in a Marriott outside of Chicago had written it. It was even harder for me to believe that he could write a book about MMA that I'd actually enjoy reading, and yet, with his new book -- Tapped Out -- he has done just that.
Polly eventually sobered up enough to spend about two years training in the various disciplines that make up MMA, and he even entered into and -- spoiler alert -- won an amateur MMA bout in Las Vegas. From Renzo Gracie's jiu-jitsu academy in Manhattan to the Xtreme Couture gym in Vegas, Polly learned from some of the best in MMA and chronicled his experiences in this funny and insightful new book.
In between throwing up on the subway following training sessions and getting yelled at by Xtreme Couture coaches for his terrible diet, Polly actually learned a great deal about this sport and its denizens, and the book is a must-read for any MMA fan (read an excerpt here, then just buy the damn thing here). Recently, I sat down to talk to Polly about the book, his experiences, and the addictive nature of winning even a low-level MMA bout.
Fowlkes: I've heard a lot of people say that a book about MMA is a tough sell because MMA fans don't buy books, and the general book-buying public doesn't know or care about MMA. What do you say to that?
Polly: In my mind, I wanted to write a book that guys who love mixed martial arts would actually enjoy, but also one they could give to their girlfriend who doesn't get it -- or even their mother -- to explain why they love it. So one of the difficulties was trying to write a book that was for the martial arts audience, but also for the mainstream. I wanted to write a book that appealed to the insiders and the outsiders, and that was an issue of tone.
And I guess you feel like you managed to bridge that gap here?
Well, it's the same division, and that's one of the interesting things about mixed martial arts. I'll get an interview with, you know, Bulldog in the Morning, and he turns out to be a secret MMA fan. He knows everything, and when I'm talking to him he runs through all this information and I'm like, you know more about this than I do. Then, when I spent the afternoon with Slate, there's this woman who basically says, 'I wouldn't have read this except I was required to, but I still found it enjoyable.' That's really what I hope to do with the book, but it's really very difficult.
In the book, you present yourself as this guy who would really rather just write about MMA and is initially resistant to the idea of actually doing it yourself. But I read American Shaolin. You're the same guy who trained with the monks and challenged some kung fu expert to a fight in a restaurant, so what gives?
Part of that's a conceit of the book. A certain aspect of it was me wanting to set up an unwilling hero going forth and doing something that he didn't want to do, but a part of me was also genuinely terrified, because I knew how hard it would be to get back into the kind of shape it would take to get into the ring. I knew I would have to change my behavior and my attitude to get in there and fight, and I was genuinely terrified of that.
On the other hand, I was sort of excited because this was an excuse to take one last shot at glory. I don't think there's anyone who's ever fought, as I did before, who doesn't want one last chance to do it again. As we see with Wanderlei Silva or Cro Cop, when they come to the end of their careers, they still want one last one. I think there was something in me that wanted that as well.
The guy you fought, did he realize you'd be writing about him in this book that has now been written up in The New York Times?
He did, actually. We talked before. He knew I had written a book already and he knew I was writing a book about this experience. I think, to that degree, I had some sympathy for him, because he would end up being a character in my book. I do know what that's like, having written about myself, but he's not the author of it, so I did have some sympathy for him there.
Did you ever consider the advantage you had over him? I mean, you're getting jiu-jitsu lessons from John Danaher, Muay Thai from Phil Nurse, and basically living at Xtreme Couture for a year. Meanwhile, it sounded like he was just a regular guy training at the Air Force base.
Yes, I think it's, in many ways, absolutely unfair. But you don't get to choose your opponent. I had the world's best trainers because that's what I was paid to do. I was there to go out and find the world's best trainers to find out if a middle-aged guy could actually get good enough to get in the ring and fight. And he, of course, didn't have that. There's definitely an imbalance there, and the question of who the underdog was in the fight is certainly up for debate. He was younger and more vigorous, and I had better training and a certain sort of background that allowed me to, in the end, win. But the one thing I would say is, he came within a fraction of an inch of knocking me out twice. It wasn't some putz I was fighting. Literally, if the right hand had been turned just a little bit more, I'd have been done. He put on a good match, but in the end I was just slightly better and slightly better trained.
Do you still train at Renzo Gracie's?
I'm living in New Haven now, but I do [still train]. There's a little MMA gym that I go to, and I kick the bags and do jiu-jitsu, but one thing I promised my wife is that I will not get hit in the head anymore. I do only have so many brain cells left, and I spent a few on this book project.
I know that you, as I do, like a drink from time to time. Did this require you to make a lot of changes to your lifestyle, aside from when you thought it would be a good idea to drink an orange soda on the day of your fight?
[Xtreme Couture] striking coach Joey Varner still talks about that one. He couldn't believe that I would drink an orange soda [on the day of the fight]. But in general, I would say that I got better, but I still wasn't perfect. I ate better, I drank less, I was healthier and clearly worked out much crazier than I ever had before. I went from about 250 pounds when I started the project to fight at 185, so it was a dramatic change in my physical being. I was, you know, taking heart pills before. Over the course of doing this, I met tons of guys who would say, 'I was a football player, then I ballooned up to 300 pounds when I stopped playing. Then I started doing MMA and I slimmed down to 215.' So I think, actually, the MMA diet book might be the best book you could put on the market.
I remember reading a newspaper article in Las Vegas about your fight, where the reporter was a little ungenerous in his description of you...
Pudgy, right? He called me 'pudgy' like three times, and I remember you wrote asking, 'Why does he have to keep calling you pudgy?'
Right. But now that you're putting this book out, and the video of your fight is on the internet, I mean, do you worry about how it's going to feel to be on the other side of the critical lens, so to speak?
I actually don't worry about that, because the point wasn't to turn out to be this great fighter. I mean, there were little moments when I imagined it in the dark closets of my heart, but I knew that my only realistic hope was that I might win one amateur fight. That was my biggest goal, so I wasn't terrified of people saying, 'Well, he's a little overweight.' That's kind of the point. I was a very overweight person who became a less overweight person doing this. But you do know, when you put yourself out there, especially in the MMA community, there's going to be people on the comment boards who will take a swipe at you. Some of them are actually very funny, and then there's a few that sting a little bit. But overall, it doesn't bother me.
After you did the fight and you won, did you ever think, well maybe I'll do another one?
You know, the thing that terrified me the most was that I would lose, because then I would totally want to fight again. I had put myself and also my wife and my family through so much to try and get through this whole book process, that I was scared I might feel like I had to do it again if I didn't get a win.
That said, the high of winning an MMA fight is unlike the high of winning anything else I've ever done. It's better than any drug. When you're done, I literally felt like I was walking on air. You're walking around and women think you're cute and you're just the man. It's this primal thing, and it's so different from winning a football or basketball game, both of which I've done, and they don't feel the same way at all. I could see the addictiveness of it, and I also know why fighters feel there's one more in them. You'll never feel that way again. You'll never be the center of attention like that once you're done. Fortunately for me, since it was part of this project, I remember just how horrible the training was, and I'm not tempted to do it again. And the thing with MMA is, every day it's getting better, so if you win one you should just tuck that in your pocket and go away. Because the next day, there's the next Jon Jones.
Do you think the things you experienced and felt doing this taught you what fighters felt? Because they seem to be wired differently, in many ways, and what a normal person might go through is not necessarily what they go through.
In the book, one of the things I tried to be was humble. I wasn't going through what the fighter goes through, because he's planning a career out of this and I'm just planning a book project. But in the book, there was that one moment where I was getting ready to go out for the fight and the [Nevada State Athletic Commission] official called my name and I stood up and said 'That's me,' and he looked at me and said 'No [expletive] way. No way you're fighting.' And he burst out laughing, and Mike Pyle, who is a tough dude and is nobody's sympathetic character, but he stood up and said, 'Hey, that's a great way to build up our teammate.' And when he used that word 'teammate,' he said it with emphasis. Like, tonight, this guy is fighting for Xtreme Couture, and even though he's not a pro fighter, not one of us, he's actually getting in the ring and he's going to do it.
To me, one of the things I found most wonderful about MMA fighters is, if you're willing to get in there and do it, you pass a kind of fundamental test. Before, they regarded me as this journalist who was kind of annoying to them and who they'd rather avoid. But when I was going to get in the ring it was different. Like, oh, you've got that kind of balls? You're going to actually do it? Okay, you're a part of the tribe.
My last question is, how many times would you say you threw up in the subway after a training session at Renzo's?
[Laughs] That's my last question? Man, there must have been about five to ten times. I can't even count them. At least half a dozen, without question. After Renzo's I'd usually be okay, but coming back from Phil [Nurse] at The Wat, that was the brutal one, because Phil is very cardio-oriented. Then, literally I would just puke my guts out.
When you were puking on the subway did you ever think, man, how many times have I seen somebody doing something gross on the subway and judged them without considering the possibility that they might have a good reason?
Well, many of the times I was dressed in just sweatpants and a shirt, with my head sweaty, and I'm vomiting and I thought, these people must think I'm homeless. Then I realized, I'm a writer; I'm about a half a step away from homeless.
