One of the “silver linings” of the snowpack/flow situation here in California this year is the opportunity to do spring raft trips on Goodwin Canyon. As with last year, we’ll host our popular “Goodwin Canyon Days” in the Fall (more info on that later!), but we also have the chance to raft this unusual class IV [...]

Water Walkin’ One of our readers recently posed a good question: “Your guidebook, ‘Hiking from Here to WOW: Utah Canyon Country,’ has several photos of you guys splashing through water. We’re wondering, what’s your footwear solution for dry/wet/dry/wet terrain?” It’s now too cold for hiking through water in the canyons of Utah. But the daytime [...]

Louis Gaudinot became known for his green hair while a castmember on “The Ultimate Fighter,” but it got a bit out of hand on Saturday night at UFC on Fox 3. He won his bout over John Lineker by submission and the Fight of the Night bonus, but his long, thick, green hair became the focus of the bout. Dana White even joked that is was time for a cut.
Gaudinot told MMA Junkie Radio that he’s thinking of cutting his hair, but he’ll still keep it green.
“I was thinking about cutting it before the fight,” Gaudinot said. “I’m kind of used to the long hair now, but I think I might have to cut it just for the next fight so it doesn’t get in my face.”
I can’t understand why he would want to do that.
It’s not like it got in his eyes.
Or made it easier for judges to tell when he got punched.
Yeah, on second thought, visiting a barbershop may not be such a bad idea, Louis.

It was a while since I travelled to Tarifa. More than 10 years ago I spent several days at Tarifa, when driving down to Morocco with Rudi Breitwieser. We were lucky and had some nice waves and strong Levante at Las Dunas. But I said myself that I will return for sure to this wonderful [...]
Nick Diaz’s Coach and Manager Cesar Gracie recently released a statement on his student’s recent no-show for his superfight at the World BJJ-Expo. The statement placed most of the blame on the promoter “Junior” and opponent Braulio Estima. Estima (a 3x world BJJ champion and 2009 ADCC absolute champion) took offense to parts of the statement, namely the assertions that he hid his MMA aspirations, his weight, and about Cesar’s explanation of the night’s events.

The MMA world continued to turn as you were off celebrating Mother’s Day, so here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know from the weekend.
As you can see from the video highlights, at Bellator Daniel Straus took the featherweight tournament final in a unanimous decision over Marlon Sandro. With that win, Straus will get to vie for the Bellator featherweight belt, which is currently held by Pat Curran. Patricky Freire will fight for it next.
Bellator was also marred by controversy as Waachiim Spiritwolf was winning his bout with Marius Zaromskis. However, Spiritwolf sustained a cut too severe to go on. For if the stoppage was justified, let’s turn to veteran MMA journalist Jim Genia:
Tough break for Waachim Spiritwolf on that cut-stoppage, as he was wrecking Marius Zaromskis. However, in no way, shape or form do I question that stoppage. Dr. Sherry Wulkan was the one who waved the bout off, and she’s been a ringside physician for more MMA bouts than 99.9% of the world has even read about on the Internet.
Marcin Held won with a quick heel hook, and Marcus Galvao took a decision to earn a spot in the bantamweight tournament finals.
Quarterfinals were underway at set of “The Ultimate Fighter.” Before the bouts, Dana White broke the news about Dominick Cruz’s torn ACL to both teams before confirming that Cruz will stay on to coach for the rest of the season.
In the first quarterfinal, James Vick pressured Joe Proctor and avoided his submissions to take the two-round decision. Michael Chiesa moved on to the semifinals by scoring a TKO over Justin Lawrence in the third round. Lawrence was considered the favorite coming into the show, so Chiesa’s win was an upset.
This Friday, Team Cruz’s Vinc Pichel will fight Team Faber’s Chris Saunders and a bout between teammates, as Team Faber’s Al Iaquinta faces Andy Ogle.
It’s been a long time coming, a discussion on tunnel flying, but honestly I’m glad I waited until after my second camp to provide commentary on the experience – I learned so much about tunnel training this time around! The first time in a tunnel was humbling, to say the least. Everyone says that as [...]

Over the weekend, two more UFC championship bouts were finalized for the summer, and it’s clear that the UFC wants to keep those championship belts moving. Every belt, except for the welterweight belt that is in limbo because of Georges St-Pierre’s injured knee and the just-contested light heavyweight belt, will be on the line between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.
– Bantamweight: Champion Dominick Cruz will rematch Urijah Faber at UFC 148 on July 7 in Las Vegas
– Featherweight: Champion Jose Aldo will fight Erik Koch at UFC 149 on July 21 in Calgary
– Lightweight: Champion Benson Henderson will rematch with Frankie Edgar at UFC 150 on Aug. 11 in Denver
– Middleweight: Champion Anderson Silva will rematch with Chael Sonnen at UFC 148, which is the most stacked UFC event since UFC 129 last April.
– Heavyweight: Champion Junior dos Santos will fight Frank Mir at UFC 146 on May 26 in Las Vegas.
Throw in a free on Fox show, a Fuel and an FX show and UFC 147 with Wanderlei Silva fighting Vitor Belfort, it’s going to be a … wait for it … hot summer of MMA. Which belt is most likely to have a new owner by Labor Day? Tell us in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Donald Cerrone is used to walking away from fights with fight night bonuses. Stretching back to his days in the WEC, “Cowboy” has picked up nine Fight of the Night, Submission of the Night, or Knockout of the Night bonuses.
For tonight’s UFC on Fuel 3 fight against Jeremy Stephens, it’s not surprising that Cerrone already has plans for the next bonus he will try to win.
“You name it, the post-fight bonuses, I’m going for it,” Cerrone declared through his informal drawl. “I’ve got [expletive] to buy. I’m thinking (of getting) 10 or 12 girls to come out on a pontoon boat.”
Since he has picked up so many bonus checks, perhaps the UFC needs to think of different ways to motivate Cerrone. Much as Lincoln Hawk arm-wrestled for a new tractor/trailer in “Over the Top,” Cerrone could fight for a boat, or a new horse for his ranch, or a lifetime supply of cowboy hats. It’s not too much to ask for.

Here’s the latest fights to be made, just for you:
– Erik Koch and UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo put on their best Member’s Only jackets and headed to the mountains to officially announce their bout at UFC 149 in Calgary.
– After UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz and pulled out of their July 7 bout, Urijah Faber will still fight at UFC 148. His opponent is still to be determined, and interim title belt will be on the line.
– Ronda Rousey has a date for her first championship defense, kinda. She will fight Sarah Kauffman in August, but an exact date and location has not yet been announced.
– In what is already my favorite match-up of the summer, Siyar Bahadurzada is stepping in to face Thiago Alves at UFC 149. Yoshihiro Akiyama had to pull out of the bout with Alves after an undisclosed injury.
– Days after UFC on Fox 3, heavyweight bouts were added to UFC on Fox 4 in Los Angeles. Matt Mitrione will fight Rob Broughton and Oli Thompson will fight Phil De Fries.
