Can James Toney Beat Randy Couture in UFC 118?
UFC 118 Weigh Ins

For the most part, the weigh-ins were mostly uneventful. No one decided to shove anyone else or throw chingasos before the actual event. However, the UFC 118 weigh-ins did present a few noteworthy instances.
Gabe Ruediger presented Joe Lauzon a cake that said, “Sorry for Your Loss”. Lauzon looked like he took it in stride. We’ll see what happens after he lets it sink in. Will he have more motivation to throw chingasos? We’ll see tomorrow.
James Toney will be making his MMA debut tomorrow. The crowd booed him as he stepped up on the stage. James seemed to enjoy the crowd reaction and even encouraged everyone to bring on the boos. He started to take off his clothes to weigh in, and he resembled a plumber. He got a good laugh when he bent down and some of his upper butt was exposed. He laughed it up a bit, but he did appear a bit embarrassed.
Randy Couture walked on stage to chants of “Randy, Randy, Randy”. Couture smiled and proceeded to weigh in. The crowd was as much pro Couture as they were pro MMA.
Toney said, “I can’t wait until tomorrow night.” We’ll see how well prepared he actually is tomorrow night. At 237, he looked to be carrying quite a bit of fat. However, his ground game, not his physique, will be his biggest issue.
“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun tomorrow. I look forward to welcoming James Toney to the MMA world”, said Randy Couture. Couture has said that he is not getting caught up in the MMA versus boxing debate. Perhaps he is giving it some thought.
BJ Penn told the crowd, “The fight is not just about me. It’s about Dana white bringing UFC 118 to Boston.” Frankie Edgar pretty much echoed Penn’s response. There was no trash talking.
The following are the results from the weigh-ins for UFC 118 in Boston.

Best of The West
Chingasos MMA made it down to Anaheim this past Sunday. The International Mixed Martial Arts Expo (IMMAE) hosted the Best of the West no-gi grappling tournament. There was a problem with the original venue, but you know that the show must go on. Congrats to the Best of the West officials for being
able to pull off all the last minute manuevering.
While there's no chingasos in submission grappling, there is still a lot of hand to hand combat action. We call it "chinga-jitsu". While the adults we're really putting in work going after submissions, it was also fun watching the kids work their submission grappling game. They set it off, shooting for takedowns, going for triangles, and reversing opponents. Enjoy the pictures from Sunday's Best of the West. They're on our Facebook Chingaso MMA Fan Page.

Superman Chingaso
UFC 117 Results
Junior dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson
Big Country showed a lot of heart. But, as usually is the case when you describe someone as having heart, he lost. Dos Santos threw and landed heavy chingasos throughout the fight, but he could not finish the deal. Dos Santos still dominated and easily won a unanimous decision.
Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Hughes
Hughes was definitely impressive in this fight. He threw a left hook, a chingaso that put Almeida on the mat. Hughes followed him to the ground, and finished Almeida with a choke.
Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Clay Guida
The first round was hard to score. Guida came out strong, but Dos Anjos landed some good chingasos during the second half of the round. In the second round, Guida scored a takedown and threw chingasos from the top. In the third, Guida got a takedown, smothered Dos Anjos against the cage, and Dos Anjos tapped from the pressure. It appeared that Guida busted up Dos Anjos’s jaw in the first round.
Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch
In the first, Fitch got some good takedowns. Alves was able to stuff one of Fitch’s attempts, and even got a reversal that landed him in top position after one of the successful takedowns. Most of the second and third rounds were fought on the ground with Fitch in dominant position. Alves put up a valiant effort, but the thirteen-month layoff was too much to overcome. Fitch won a unanimous decision.
Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva
Sonnen came out strong, landing a chingaso that stunned Silva. Sonnen controlled the rest of the first round from the top with Silva trying to survive. Silva landed some chingasos to begin the second, but Sonnen got the fight to the ground. Silva did threaten Sonnen with submission attempts. The third looked pretty much like the second, with Silva landing chingasos early but Sonnen getting the takedown and dominating from the top. In the fourth, Silva landed chingasos that stunned Sonnen. Sonnen looked wobbly as he attempted takedowns. Silva stuffed the takedowns and ended up on top. Sonnen got the reversal and smothered Silva for the remainder of the round. Silva appeared to slip to begin the fifth. Sonnen pounced on Silva and once again smothered Silva on the ground. Silva was patient and got his opportunity. Silva threw his legs up from the bottom and caught a triangle. Sonnen fought it, and Silva turned it into an armbar. Sonnen tapped, the referee stopped it, but Sonnen claimed that he did not tap. However, the replay clearly showed Sonnen tapping.

Slamming Women in MMA
So you believe that “girls” can’t fight. You believe “girls” should not be allowed to fight. Girls can’t learn anyway, and girls definitely won’t be exciting. Dana White of the UFC has already said that he will not have women fighting in the Octagon.
Well, if you truly believe all that nonsense, you need to wake up. Ladies can throw chingasos just like the men. Remember, while Dana White said that he won’t have women in the UFC, he didn’t say the same thing for the WEC. In fact, he has shown interest in Gina Carano fighting for the WEC. Women can fight, throw chingasos, grapple hard, and show good technique just like the men.
A few weeks back Strikeforce held Challengers 9. This event featured two ladies, Sarah Kaufman and Roxanne Modafferi, who went at it hard. They had an exciting fight. There was a lot of technique being shown here by both ladies. Both ladies threw chingasos. Both ladies worked the clinch hard. Both ladies knew what they were doing when the fight went to the ground. And, the end of the fight was definitely chingasos worthy. Check it out.
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is known for his legendary slams. In the following video, Rampage shows us all how to do it. Don’t let Rampage’s rap at the end bother you. It’s still a good instructional and a good move to learn. View it, learn it, practice it, and use it to throw a chingaso from inside the ground.
