Rage In The Cage (11/5/07)
Johnny "Wildfire" Rage
The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) can’t even dress themselves
(let alone figure out steroid levels within products); Yushin Okami is heading
to K-1; UFC 78 is inching closer and I’ve got some predictions; I have a take
on David Terrell and a parting shot at UFC Mania.com. Those are the topics
that I’m discussing so let’s find out who “Wildfire” is burning for.

a 1-2 punch of massive amounts of paperwork and scary faces in order to confuse the
extension on the hearing. I truly believe that Sherk will get his suspension shortened to six
Commission. This apparently worked, as the CSAC was thrown into disarray and ordered an

extension on the hearing. I truly believe that Sherk will get his suspension shortened to six
months instead of one full year.

K-1 Fighting just got a little stronger by signing former UFC Middleweight fighter Yushin
“Mr. Boring”
Okami. Ok, I didn’t come up with that nickname, but if the shoe fits, wear it.  
Okami was 5-1 in the UFC but only finished one fight during that time. He does, however,
hold a victory over UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. The victory came by DQ
after Silva landed a questionably illegal kick to the head of Okami. I consider it
questionable because the kick looked legal and did send Okami into la-la land. Anyway, I’m
sure Okami will tear up the K-1 Middleweight Division because he’s a large fish in a small
pond over there.

UFC 78 takes place Saturday, November 17th in New Jersey and here’s who I think will win:
                                                          
  Rashad Evans
                                          Houston Alexander
                                             Spencer Fisher
                                                Joe Lauzon
                                            Tamden McCrory
                                             Marcus Aurelio
                                              Karo Parisyan
                                                Chris Lytle
                                                Ed Herman

You may notice that there has been a change in one fight on the card. In something that has
become commonplace, David Terrell (The Steve McNair of MMA) has been forced out of his
fight with Ed Herman. Joe Doerkson will replace Terrell.

I would like to thanks the millions of Little Torches out there who supported me during my
flame war on the
UFCmania message board. I must state that while I’m not a regular at their
site, I’m completely blown away by the lack of knowledge and originality, and just overall
poor quality that UFCmania provides to the public.  It’s no wonder that you are basically
viewed as Tina Turner in relation to MMAjunkie’s Ike Turner.
