All sports writers get hate mail. I'm not special . Most sports writers don't flaunt their hate mail, but that's me.  

As most people have heard by now, Josh Barnett is the major heavyweight that DREAM is going to be booking for their late March show, but is still without an opponent. Tim Sylvia has turned down a fight with Josh Barnett and will instead fight Wes Sims in Canada because Iowa refuses to license the fight, and on top of that, he is apparently fighting Mariusz Pudzianowski in Massachusetts. Sylvia's road to recovery is apparently taking easy fights in hopes of being signed to UFC again.  

Strikeforce middleweight Luke Rockhold is the latest name announced for EA Sports MMA. Rockhold is on a 6-fight win streak, including a TKO victory last night over Paul Bradley at Strikeforce Challengers VI. He joins Randy Couture, Fedor Emilianenko, Bobby Lashley and many more on the game's roster.  

WEC officials believe that the next two cards they run will be the most successful in company history.

Yahoo! Sports released its monthly mixed martial arts pound-for-pound rankings Thursday. The Las Vegas Sun's sports writer Brett Okamoto is one of 19 members that vote on the rankings.  

Dan Henderson and Jake Shields have agreed to meet in Strikeforce with the middleweight title on the line in April.  

One report states that Strikeforce will run an event in Nashville, Tennessee on 4/17 with Jake Shields vs. Dan Henderson as the main event, along with Bobby Lashley (and Herschel Walker?) on the fight card. Fedor is not expected to appear at the event. Henderson vs. Shields should be fine and I don't see how Fedor on the fight card would have been a huge plus.  

Aleksander Emelianenko won the first place and a gold medal. - Kiril Sidelnikov also took part of the tournament, taking the second place and a silver medal. - Fedor Emelianenko did not participate in the tournament.
