Fox Fight Game’s Mike Straka was on location at UFC 109 to get thoughts and reactions from Dana White and the fighters in attendance. Most interesting takeaway, Dana White says Frank Trigg is definitely in danger of losing his job.

There’s no gym Hammerhouse. There’s no gym in Ohio. There’s no–you know Coleman’s out here in Vegas training me. He’s staying at the Palace Station. There’s no team. I never went to train with Team Hammerhouse. It’s just bullshit. Coleman’s just a good marketer. He’s telling me he wants to open up a Hammerhouse gym in Ohio. He’d like to do that some day. It was just a bunch of guys fighting under a flag you know what I mean? They didn’t train together. I never really trained with Coleman. He’s way too big. He would corner me and we’d have conversations on the phone. It’s not a gym. It was something in Japan that they marketed. They just made the team more than what it is. There is no Hammerhouse. Hammerhouse is a punching bag on Coleman’s porch. I’ve seen pictures of it. It’s just an old punching bag. I’ve never even been to Coleman’s house.

—Phil Baroni telling Middle Easy Mark Coleman’s Team Hammerhouse was all just an illusion

Well hey, at least they looked like a team when they brawled with Chute Boxe after the Coleman-Shogun fight. Some memories should be treasured.

Remember last month when Scott Coker threw this subtle jab at Phil Baroni in the press release announcing his departure from the organization?

We were all a little bummed (some were downright pissed) when Fedor Emelianenko signed with Strikeforce. It meant no fight against Brock Lesnar or any of the other UFC heavyweights for that matter. Strikeforce has a few quality heavyweights though and Fedor’s first fight is scheduled for Showtime, so at least we don’t have to pay $50 to see it. It could be worse, right?
