Ice, Ice Baby! Joe Rogan's Ice Spill Play-by-Play From UFC 109

Ronys Torres' corner made an egregious error at UFC 109 on Saturday night when their ice bag broke. Nevada officials only made it worse with their sloppy clean-up. Good thing Joe Rogan was there to so we didn't miss one second of the action... and to direct the clean-up process...

All UFC Hall of Fame: Ken Shamrock Picks Couture vs. Coleman

This Saturday two UFC Hall of Fame inductees will clash for the first time since being enshrined as Randy "The Natural" Couture takes on Mark "The Hammer" Coleman meet at UFC 109.

In what could be a classic wrestler versus wrestler match-up, what could be the deciding factor towards victory?

To find out, MMAInsider spoke to fellow UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock to see who he feels will come out on top and why.

"I've got Randy," said Shamrock. "The main reason why is that Randy is very dedicated to his training.

"He's always in good shape, he's tough and he doesn't mind the hardness of Mark Coleman."

While Shamrock wasted little time in choosing Couture, he feels that Coleman is far from overmatched in some areas.

"Mark's probably stronger than him," stated Shamrock. "Randy's strong, don't get me wrong – but I think unless (Coleman has) lost that, he is a very strong individual and I think he would have the strength (advantage) on Randy."

Strength aside, Shamrock pointed out what could very well be Coleman's Achilles' heel and ultimately cost him the fight.

"I don't believe (Coleman) will be able to get out of the first round because Randy pushes the fight too much," said Shamrock. "I just don't believe that Mark is going to have the cardio to go with (Randy) out of the first round."

Houston Alexander Requests NSAC License; UFC 109 at Mandalay?

The Nevada State Athletic Commission Wednesday released the agenda for a Nov. 4 tele-meeting to discuss current business.

Two items on the agenda stood out:

1) A request from Houston Alexander for a fight license (all fighters over 35 must do so when their previous license runs out).

2) A request from Zuffa, LLC to hold an MMA event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Feb. 6.

Alexander (14-4-1) reportedly announced he'd be fighting Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson at UFC 107 on his Nebraska radio show, and subsequently sealed his lips when the inevitable media calls came in.

UFC president Dana White declined to confirm the match-up at a press conference for UFC 104 last week.

Last month, Alexander secured a future in the UFC--for the meantime--with a victory over Sherman Pendergarst at Adrenaline IV, which is promoted by his manager Monte Cox.

Slice is currently in Miami and commuting to American Top Team for his next fight. He has been mum about his next opponent in media appearances.
