2012 is over and what an amazing ride. The Ufc inked a paradigm-shifting, multi-year deal with Fox. They held more events, more fights, and carried a bigger roster than ever before. They anointed a new female champion Ronda Rousey (6-0). Champions returned (Gsp & Cain), legends retired (Tito, Fedor, Hughes) and the Greatest only pushed his atmospheric legacy to new heights.
To review the entire year and to forecast and prognosticate the upcoming 2013, I invite back both of the Getting Lucky Mma podcast co-hosts, English Thom Burton and Marcus Mitchell, to join me for a panel discussion.

The Ufc finished off 2012 in grand style as Cain Velasquez (11-1) retook his Heavyweight title from the very man that won it off of him a year ago, Junior Dos Santos (15-2). In episode 013 of the Getting Lucky Mma podcast, I am joined again by co-host Marcus Mitchell to review all the action and the low points of Ufc 155. In part 1, we review all of the prelims on the Facebook and FX undercards. On part 2, we move on to the main card.
Ufc 155 Prelim Review
Ufc 155 Main Card Review
Episode (#013) Summary
Facebook Card: The card started out with an exciting Flyweight match-up with John Moraga (12-1) taking a third round submission over #7 ranked Chris Cariaso (14-4). This certainly puts Moraga solidly into the top ten and likely puts him a fight away from being a true contender.
They were followed by split decision king, Leonard Garcia (15-10-1) against upcoming prospect Max Holloway (7-1). Surprisingly,...

In episode #012, we’re back to preview the upcoming Ufc pay-per-view event, Ufc 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez 2. I’m joined by my co-host, Marcus Mitchell, as we delve into the Facebook prelims, the FX prelims, and finally the main card in what is sure to be contender for the best of the year.
Episode Summary: There are several jewels hidden away in the undercard that are definitely worth watching. One of the very best is the Flyweight match-up between John Moraga (11-1) and #7 Chris Cariaso (14-3). Both of these fighters love to stand and bang. You can expect fireworks, but we give the slight edge to Moraga with his high level wrestling pedigree.
Next comes Leonard Garcia (15-9-1) vs. Max Holloway (6-1) in a Featherweight match-up. Garcia has lost three straight and his most recent wins have come off of highly controversial split decisions over the Korean Zombie and Nam Phan.

We’re back with another episode of the Getting Lucky Mma podcast (#011). Without an Mma event to preview or review, my co-host Marcus Mitchell and I talk about current news, such as the retirements of Alexander Emelianenko and Mark Hominick as well as the confirmation that Strikeforce is finally finished in January.
Episode Summary (#011): Our conversation then moves onto weird Mma facts and stories. I share the story of Ultimate Fighter hopeful and Mma fighter Ray Elbe, who literally broke his penis having sex with his girlfriend. Ouch. Mitchell chimes in with a way you too can own your very own authentic Ufc championship belt as well as exactly what Zuffa means. I always thought it was the Narnia Landfill.
As geniuses and Mma experts, Mitchell and I then offer up ways to fix the Ufc and Mma. I know you’re relieved. I go into the full details...

In part 2 of the Getting Lucky Mma podcast Ultimate Fighter spectacular, I am joined by fellow Mma columnist, Marcus Mitchell, to break down all the action in the Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale. As a surprise move, Dana did not invite any of the season contestants other than the finalists to partake on the card, obviously to shake up the complacency in the housemates over lackluster performances and commitment.
The card was highlighted by Roy Nelson dominating Matt Mitrione on the feet with a beautiful uppercut. The fight was punctuated with a well-timed flurry by Big Country to turn off Meathead’s lights completely. The Tuf 16 Welterweight champion was also crowned, Us Army Ranger Colton Smith.

Episode Summary (#010 – part 2): In a card that was largely de-fanged by injury (Shane Carwin) and even last second pestilence (Melvin Guillard vs. Jamie Varner), there was still plenty of excitement. Nine out...

There's going to be plenty of crime-drama action this winter. The second season of Steven Seagal’s original series True Justice will premiere Friday, January 4, 2013 at 9pm Et/ 6pm Pt and 11pm Et/ 8pm Pt. Season two begins with Elijah Kane’s (Steven Seagal) Special Investigations Unit facing the aftermath of an intense gun battle — one that leaves the fate of Kane’s entire team in jeopardy. The second season features 13 new heart-pounding episodes premiering Fridays at 9pm Et/ 6pm Pt and again at 11pm Et/ 8pm Pt.
Joining the action in season two are a few new faces, including CIA operative Marcus Mitchell, played by Adrian Holmes (Elysium, Red Riding Hood), who recruits Kane to work as an operative to take out a high-level target that the CIA cannot go after in the traditional way. Mitchell helps to lead Kane into the target’s inner circle, but only then...

Washington, Jan 30: Beyonce's hometown of Houston, Texas, will pay tribute to the pop star by building a monument in her honour.
Developers at Armdeonce Ventures are designing a statue, which will highlight the 30-year-old singer's life and showcase memorabilia from her career.
"Our biggest thing is a lot of people get honoured when they die, so our goal is to why not honour people why they're still here? We felt as though it's her time to be honoured. We wanted to construct, like, a massive hall so as the doors open, if you donated to the monument, you'll have a separate nameplate," Contactmusic quoted Marcus Mitchell, CEO.
