UFC 2009 Undisputed: Kenny Florian & Joe Stevenson

Kenny Florian & Joe Stevenson Video Game

IGN.com has confirmed that Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson will be on the roster of the upcoming UFC 2009 Undisputed video game. Here’s Kenny’s thoughts on being in the game.

“I was hooked on Resident Evil for Wii, and I was hooked on Zelda for a while. When I’m in training camp I don’t have too much time to play, but after fighting I try to wind down with some videogame playing,” began Florian. “It’s crazy man. Never in my life would I expect to be in a videogame, so the fact that I get to be in a videogame – I think it’s unbelievable. I’ve been playing videogames my entire life, and when it’s all said and done, when I die, I’ll be able to say that I was in a videogame, which is pretty cool.”

And Joe’s.

“The videogame is a way to live forever,” said Stevenson. “And, me also having four boys, I think it’s an awesome opportunity and my kids are going to be very excited to say, ‘Look Dad! I’m winning!’ Or, if they’re mad at me, to say, ‘Look, you’re getting your butt kicked!’ As a father, that’s just wonderful.”

UFC 91 ‘Couture vs Lesnar’ Results, Thoughts, Bonuses & Live Gate

UFC 91 PosterUFC 91 “Couture vs. Lesnar” took place this evening at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Randy Couture made his return to the UFC following a 15-month hiatus to defend his UFC Heavyweight Championship against the monstrous Brock Lesnar. It was billed as “the biggest fight in UFC history,” but did it live up to the hype?

Two of the UFC’s elite lightweights, Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson, battled it out for a chance to face UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn in 2009.

Gabriel Gonzaga looked to stay relevant in the UFC’s heavyweight division by facing UFC newcomer Josh Hendricks.

Demain Maia tried to keep his UFC winning streak alive against hard-hitting Nate Quarry.

Dustin Hazelett and Tamdan McCrory met in the Octagon in a match some are calling the “Revenge of the Nerds.”

UFC 91 ‘Couture vs Lesnar’ Weigh-In Results

UFC 91 Weigh-Ins Randy Couture & Brock Lesnar

The UFC 91 weigh-ins took place today at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The weigh-ins went off without a hitch. All fighters made weight. Brock Lesnar seemed to draw a significant amount of boos, while Randy got a big pop. One of the big questions the past few days was how Randy would look at the weigh-ins. He didn’t look bad, but he’s definitely a little bit smaller than he was in ‘07 when he fought Sylvia and Gonzaga.

The weigh-in results:

  • Randy Couture (220) vs. Brock Lesnar (265)
  • Kenny Florian (156) vs. Joe Stevenson (156)
  • Gabriel Gonzaga (256) vs. Josh Hendricks (238)
  • Nate Quarry (185) vs. Demian Maia (185)
  • Dustin Hazelett (170) vs. Tamdan McCrory (170)
  • Jorge Gurgel (155) vs. Aaron Riley (156)
  • Jeremy Stephens (155) vs. Rafael dos Anjos (155)
  • Alvin Robinson (155) vs. Mark Bocek (155)
  • Matt Brown (171) vs. Ryan Thomas (170)

Fighters in non-title fights are allowed to weigh in one pound over the weight class limit.

UFC 91 “Couture vs. Lesnar” will take place tomorrow, Nov. 15, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and will air live on pay-per-view at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
