Well there is a bit of a rift in the MMA world right now. It seems that K-1 Champion Jerome Le Banner will fight the UFC's Tim "The Maniac" Slyvia.
It startd out by Le Banner challenging Slyvia to a fight. He was sick of people saying that Slyvia is a world class striker and that he is a deadly striker. He said he wanted to show us Americans what a real striker is. (he loves his American fans) He said he wants a 2 fight deal: a fight in the K-1 ring and a fight in the UFC octagon.
Then came Slyvia's response. Basically he made fun of Le Banner's name, made fun of the French, and a bunch of other stuff. He said the only way he'd fight him is if Le Banner would come fight in the UFC for a fight. He was cocky and doing alot of trash talking. He also called him a nobody.
And lastly, Jerome's reponse. He contacted Dana White (UFC president) and is currently trying to work out a fight between himself and Slyvia. He said he'd be happy to fight him in the UFC. He sounded extremely pissed off in his reponse, not happy that Slyvia did all the trash talking.
Here they are.

And who do you think will win?
I am so positive to say that Le Banner will knock Slyvia out no problem in the first round. If you didn't know Le Banner is a Muay Thai fighter, but has been training in ground defense.
