UFC 129 Press Conference - GSP and Shields already sick of the media - UFC 129

MMA is bigger than ever, with that comes a lot of media responsibilities from the main event fighters. Jake Shields and Georges St. Pierre are growing weary of speaking to idiots like us.

Jesse's WEAKly Report: The Lost Japan Footage

Any footage accompanied by the Street Fighter 4 theme song is good in our book, even if it is a little past due like this "lost" footage from Jesse Burtner and the Think Thank crew. In the episode, Burtner and co. head to Japan for another round of Boxes for Days, belt some Backstreet Boys karaoke and, in typical Think Thank fashion, find a way to stay jib focused amidst an abundance of Pacific pow.

It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle when you’re a French Canadian jibber, but this footage from Frank April and Videograss stands out. C’est sick.

MMA Top 10 Pound-for-Pound: GSP, Aldo Miss a Chance to Move Up

by Michael David Smith
Heading into UFC 129, I thought both welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and featherweight champion Jose Aldo had a good chance of putting on the kind of performance that would move them up in the pound-for-pound rankings.

GSP did what he usually does and won a dominant unanimous decision over a good opponent in Jake Shields, but he didn't do anything that makes him leapfrog Anderson Silva at the top of the list. And Aldo won a classic battle with Mark Hominick, but it wasn't the kind of transcendent performance that could put him on top of the MMA world.

So as we review the Top 10 pound-for-pound fighters in mixed martial arts, there's no change at the top.
