Yahoo! Sports Top Ten UFC Fighters of 2009

The Yahoo! Sports Top 10 poll features 21 top mixed martial arts reporters from leading sports web sites, newspapers, wire services and blogs.

Using the same formula for the monthly poll’s tabulation, with 10 points for a first-place finish; nine for a second; etc., the cumulutive scores for 2009 show the top MMA fighters to be Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre and Fedor Emelianenko.

Record: 25-7 (won past three)
Last month’s ranking: 10
Most recent result: def. Michael Bisping, R2 KO, July 11
Analysis: A rumored Strikeforce debut against Jake Shields in April will serve more as a test of whether Shields is truly an elite fighter.

Torres

9. Miguel Angel Torres
Points: 39
Affiliation: WEC
Weight class: Bantamweight
Hometown: East Chicago, Ind.
Record: 36-2 (lost last one)

Weight class: Light heavyweight
Hometown: Curitiba, Brazil
Record: 18-4 (lost last one)
Last month’s ranking: T7

Hometown: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Record: 16-1 (won last nine)
Last month’s ranking: 6
Most recent result: def. Mike Brown, R2 TKO, Nov. 18
Analysis: All you need to know about Aldo is that the featherweight is already being talked about as the man who might be the one who gives Penn a match at lightweight.

Machida

5. Lyoto Machida
Points: 122
Affiliation: UFC
Weight class: Light heavyweight (UFC light heavyweight champion)
Hometown: Belem, Brazil
Record: 16-0 (won last 16)

Record: 31-1, one no-contest (won last 11)
Last month’s ranking: 3
Most recent result: def. Brett Rogers, R2 KO, Nov. 7
Analysis: If Emelianenko really is fighting Fabricio Werdum in April as is rumored, expect Werdum’s KO loss to Junior dos Santos to be aired on Spike TV approximately 12,455,201 times.

St. Pierre

2. Georges St. Pierre
Points: 185 (four first-place votes)
Affiliation: UFC

Hometown: Saint-Isidore, Quebec
Record: 19-2 (won last six)
Last month’s ranking: 2
Most recent result: def. Thiago Alves, unanimous decision, July 11
Analysis: Here’s guessing that even if Dan Hardy isn’t considered a threat to beat St. Pierre, come March 27, people will buy UFC 11 just because they want to see someone shut Hardy’s mouth.

Silva

1. Anderson Silva
Points: 196 (10 first-place votes)
Affiliation: UFC
Weight class: Middleweight (UFC middleweight champion)
Hometown: Curitiba, Brazil
Record: 24-4 (won last 10)
Last month’s ranking: 1
Most recent result: def. Forrest Griffin, R1 KO, Aug. 8
Analysis: Silva says his elbow is healing nicely. Which means next week his agent will probably say he’s suffered a setback. And on it goes.

Serena Williams Named AP Female Athlete of Year

Congratulations to Serena Williams who was named 2009 Female Athlete of the Year by members of The Associated Press.

Williams won by a landslide with 66 of 158 votes cast by editors at U.S. newspapers that are members of the AP. No other candidate got more than 18 votes in the tally, which was announced this morning.

“People realize that I’m a great player, and one moment doesn’t define a person’s career,” Williams told the AP. “And I was right, for the most part: It wasn’t right the way I reacted—I never said it was—but I was right about the call.”

Serena also won this prestigious award in 2002.

UFC Set for BOSTON in August!

Mark your calendars, friends. The Ultimate Fighting Championship makes its Boston debut on Aug. 28.

UFC president Dana White, who formerly lived in Boston, told the Boston Herald the organization will host an event at the 19,000-capacity TD Garden on the date, though an official announcement won't be made until closer to the show.

While a guest on MMAjunkie.com Radio in November, White said the UFC would "absolutely" makes its Boston debut in mid-2010, and he said shows at both Fenway Park and TD Garden (also known as the Boston Garden) were under consideration for the debut show.

Hometown: Kailua, O`ahu

A 2007 graduate of Punahou School, Elizabeth lettered four years in volleyball and was named the No. 85 top senior on the prepvolleyball.com Senior Aces list. In addition she was a four-time all-league and three-time all-state performer and helped her Punahou team to state titles in 2003 and 2004.

Meet the Wahines: Dani Mafua

#11 Dani Mafua
Position: S
Height: 5-10
Class: Junior
Hometown: Kapolei, O`ahu
Previous School: Mid-Pacific Institute

Dani Mafua has been the heart of the Wahine volleyball team this season. Following in the footsteps of superstar setter Kanoe Kamaano has been a huge challenge but Dani has shown her team, the fans and her coach that she has what it takes.

"Dani's the reason we've been good," Wahine head coach Dave Shoji says. "I don't think she gets enough credit. She's the reason we can beat good teams, the tempo she creates."

This 2006 Mid-Pac graduate lettered 4 times in volleyball and twice in basketball during her high school years. She was also named the 27th-best senior on the prepvolleyball.com Senior Aces list and given a two-time honorable mention all-state in volleyball.

Tempted at first to head to the mainland for college, Dani had a change of heart that has been critical to the Wahine's success this season. "I think in the back of my head, I always wanted to be a Wahine," she said. "I wanted to play in front of my whole family. That's really a great thing."

Watch Dani Mafua as she takes charge of the Wahine team in today's NCAA Women's Volleyball Semifinals match against Penn State at Kalapaki Joe's, Kauai's premier sports bar.

Six foot middle blocker, Amber Kaufman, is a two sport college athlete named as a two-time All-American and two-time Western Athletic Conference champion for Track & Field in the high jump.

Though she recently has been plagued with a recurring abdominal strain, she's reportedly set to play in tomorrow's match against Penn State.

"There have been nights, and I'd like to see more, where she is virtually unstoppable offensively," Wahine Volleyball coach Dave Shoji says.

"When me and (setter) Dani (Mafua) are connecting, sometimes she just makes me feel untouchable," Kaufman said. "If the ball is out of her hands coming to me, sometimes it's going to be a kill no matter what."

Be sure to keep your eye on senior Amber Kaufman as UH Rainbow Wahines take on Penn State in the NCAA Women's Volleyball Semifinals tomorrow at 4pm Hawaii time at Kalapaki Joe's, Kauai's premier sports bar.

This sophomore outside hitter has come back from a broken ankle and proven to be a strong asset to the Wahine team.
