Faber vs Mizugaki Targeted for Fall

A previously scheduled WEC 50 bantamweight match up between former WEC featherweight champion "The California Kid" Urijah Faber and Takeya Mizugaki is now targeted for the fall. The fight, first scrapped after Faber was forced to withdraw due to injury, is now likely for WEC 51 or 52.

Sources close to the ongoing negotiations confirmed with MMARising.com this weekend that WEC 52, targeted for November 7th in Faber’s hometown city of Sacramento, California, is the most likely date for the rescheduled fight. Revised bout agreements have not yet been signed.

Spain Goes to the WORLD CUP FINALS!

Carles Puyol’s thunderous header off a corner kick late in the second half of this morning's World Cup semi-final game gave Spain the 1-0 lead they needed to beat Germany.

“This is one of the greatest moments for Spain, for us to be in the final of the World Cup, it’s history,” said David Villa, who remains tied with Netherlands playmaker Wesley Sneijder for the tournament scoring lead at five goals apiece. “And we want to make more history in the final.”

Spain will play the Netherlands on Sunday at Soccer City in Johannesburg, ensuring a first-time champion. The Dutch, who beat Uruguay 3-2 on Tuesday night, have lost in their only two trips to the final.

The two teams have never met in the World Cup and their all-time series is dead even.

Ansagay Wins With a Triangle Choke!

Kalapaki Joe's own Domenick Ansagay made us proud last night when he defeated his opponent with a triangle choke at the Kauai MMA "Mayhem at the Mansion" at Kilohana.



Domenick's crowd-pleasing win was one of only two tap-outs of the night. Congratulations Domenick!

Misery for Italy

In an historic World Cup first, neither the reigning champions or the runners-up from the previous edition have reached Round 16 at South Africa 2010. With France having exited on Tuesday, today was the turn of holders Italy to bow out after a dramatic 3-2 defeat by Slovakia.

Sadly, the Italian team joined France in packing their bags for home.

Switzerland beats Spain!

Switzerland upset the soccer world this morning when they beat European champion and tournament favorite Spain.

Switzerland's Gelson Fernandes scored the winning goal by pouncing on a loose ball and forcing it into the net in the 52nd minute. “To be fair, I’m not used to scoring goals, so I was a bit surprised,” said Fernandes, who got just his second in international play. “It was a bit of luck.”

Spain badly outshot the Swiss and held the ball 63 percent of the time, but could find no way through Switzerland’s determined defense.

“Today wasn’t our day,” Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said. “We have two games ahead of us. We have to find a way to win them.”
