Even in their sleep. BJ Penn and Rich Franklin have been known to recharge nightly in hyperbaric chambers during training. Miguel Torres often hunkers down in his gym for weeks on end, separating himself from distractions and steeling his spirit for battle. Donald Cerrone used to catch his shuteye in a room atop Greg Jackson's martial arts school in New Mexico.]]> http://www.mymmaresource.com/new-yorker-nick-pace-sleep-in-strange-places-fight-well/feed/ 0 http://www.mymmaresource.com/chad-george-a-man-converted/ http://www.mymmaresource.com/chad-george-a-man-converted/#comments Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:00:00 +0000 admin http://www.wec.tv/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=85107 Frank Curreri, WEC - Image may help a fighter pay the rent, but it won't win him many scraps.

The many symbols and words that adorn the bantamweight's body are the result of a unique tradition he began with his MMA debut nine years ago: After every fight, win or lose, Banuelos adds another tattoo.]]> http://www.mymmaresource.com/antonio-banuelos-talks-tats-and-training-with-bj/feed/ 0 http://www.mymmaresource.com/cruz-edges-benavidez-retains-world-title/ http://www.mymmaresource.com/cruz-edges-benavidez-retains-world-title/#comments Thu, 19 Aug 2010 06:00:45 +0000 admin http://www.wec.tv/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=84904 Frank Curreri, WEC - The gap between Dominick Cruz and Joseph Benavidez has narrowed considerably, but their rematch Wednesday night produced the same result: Cruz's hand was raised following a split decision triumph that allowed him to keep his WEC bantamweight title.]]> http://www.mymmaresource.com/cruz-edges-benavidez-retains-world-title/feed/ 0 http://www.mymmaresource.com/cruz-and-benavidez-cross-paths-again/ http://www.mymmaresource.com/cruz-and-benavidez-cross-paths-again/#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 13:59:00 +0000 admin http://www.wec.tv/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=84881 Frank Curreri, WEC - Ill will can add spice to a fight, but for the most part, pleasantries have been exchanged leading up to tonight's WEC bantamweight title bout between Dominick Cruz and Joseph Benavidez. Unlike his mentor Urijah Faber, No. 1 challenger Benavidez does not hold a grudge against the 135-pound kingpin.]]> http://www.mymmaresource.com/cruz-and-benavidez-cross-paths-again/feed/ 0 http://www.mymmaresource.com/official-wec-weigh-in-results-6/ http://www.mymmaresource.com/official-wec-weigh-in-results-6/#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:28:00 +0000 admin http://www.wec.tv/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=84876 Below are the official weigh-in results for Wednesday's WEC event, which features the WEC bantamweight title bout between Dominick Cruz and Joseph Benavidez, as well as the lightweight clash between Shane Roller and Anthony Pettis, and the featherweight bout between Chad Mendes and Cub Swanson.

One of us will fight Dominick (Cruz) and then we'll fight each other for the belt.'"]]> http://www.mymmaresource.com/jorgensen%e2%80%99s-prophecy-a-title-fight-with-buddy-joseph-benavidez/feed/ 0 http://www.mymmaresource.com/%e2%80%98inside-info%e2%80%99-no-worry-for-palaszewski/ http://www.mymmaresource.com/%e2%80%98inside-info%e2%80%99-no-worry-for-palaszewski/#comments Sun, 15 Aug 2010 18:29:14 +0000 admin http://www.wec.tv/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=84822 Frank Curreri, WEC - 100 or more pro fights is what Bart Palaszewski is shooting for. As of today, "Bartimus" is almost halfway to the century mark. Opponent #47 is coming up on Wednesday in the form of Zack Micklewright, a scrappy U.S. Marine who trains under Pat Miletich in Iowa and who can't believe his luck.]]> http://www.mymmaresource.com/%e2%80%98inside-info%e2%80%99-no-worry-for-palaszewski/feed/ 0 http://www.mymmaresource.com/toughest-test-semerzier-takes-aim-at-javier-vazquez/ http://www.mymmaresource.com/toughest-test-semerzier-takes-aim-at-javier-vazquez/#comments Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:28:41 +0000 admin http://www.wec.tv/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=84821 Frank Curreri, WEC - Mackens Semerzier has already submitted one Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt in the WEC. But can "Mack Da Menace" repeat the feat against a cocksure fighter who regards himself as the 145-pound division's "best grappler in the world?"]]> http://www.mymmaresource.com/toughest-test-semerzier-takes-aim-at-javier-vazquez/feed/ 0
