Shonie Carter recently interviewed with Fight Hype. In his interview, it was totally Shonie Carter whillin’ style. That guy is the man.. “keeping it real”. Check out some of these quotes, and then head on over to Fight Hype to read the entire article.

PC: You feel like you are overlooked?

SC: Yeah. There’s guys in the UFC that have dropped like 3 or 4 fights in a row. People mimic their shit off of me and I can’t get in. I’m up to…that was my 203rd fight. What the fuck else do I gotta do? I look at guys like Chris Leben, Pete Sell and Phil Baroni; all had 3 or 4 losses in a row and they can still get in. Guys come into the UFC, first gift is to fight Quinton Jackson for a world title and now he’s about to fight Anderson Silva for the title.
PC: You’ve been in the game so long Shonie, it seems like you should have more opportunities.

SC: Right. I’m doing a seminar at the Martial Arts Expo and they were calling me begging me to do a seminar. They got guys doing shit in Jiu Jitsu that I was doing in ‘98 and they getting on the cover of a magazine. I’m like, that shit’s old. Karo getting credit for judo and I’ve been throwing people since 2000 and 2001. He was in high school when I was doing that shit. Joe Riggs told me one time, “You know Shonie, when I saw you fight for the first time, I was in 4th grade.” I’m like, ain’t that a bitch. He’s in main events and I’ve had 5 legitimate world titles. Go look at my MySpace page and tell me what belts you see and 3 or 4 belts were missing. I have respect for the young guys. I don’t have nothing against them because they doing what they do, but I’m like, what the fuck? I love Randy Couture to death, but he came off of a TKO loss and fought for a title. Grant it, he won, but what the fuck man! I’m fighting 3 or 4 fights in that many weeks and if I didn’t have a pinched nerve, I would be fighting this week. I called California for the seminar and they want me to do a 2-hour seminar and I’m like, sure, why not, just tell me where the funky dividends are at. I’m not making it hard; fly me out, put me in a hotel and put me in the Expo. People ask why do I think I deserve this. Man, before you could spell mixed martial arts…before you seen it, I did it. I was there before Matt Hughes. When Matt Hughes was a wrestler and he was a freshman, I beat him. They don’t want to hear that.

According to the Palm Beach Post, the Illegal Cage Fighting (unsanctioned fight) charges that were filed against Din Thomas have been dropped.

“Prosecutors this morning decided not to file charges against a nationally-renowned mixed martial arts fighter who was arrested in October after investigators alleged he organized “illegal cage fighting” matches in a St. Lucie West warehouse.”

Josh Koscheck has a cameo appearance in Chevelle’s “I Get It” music video.  The video has been featured on MTV and MTV 2 many times already.  Fast forward a bit to see him bust in on a dude and drop punches.

The brilliant words of advice from Quinton Rampage Jackson may save your life one day. “Black folks, when you get in trouble [and you] call 911, please sound white when you call … We all sound white when we need to.” Jackson was recently interviewed regarding the death of NFL football player Sean Taylor. When discovered the cause of the death, Jackson responded with the above statement. To see the candid interview of Rampage, check out the video:

A little over a week ago, we announced that The Ultimate Fighter contestant Corey Hill will debut at UFC Ultimate Fight Night 12, on January 23, 2008.  We recently learned that Corey is scheduled to match up with Joe Veres.  Like many other great fighters including Rich Franklin and Tim Silva, Veres fights out of Ohio.  Veres currently trains for Team Jorge Gurgel.  For those of you unfamiliar with Veres, he got dropped by Gray Maynard 9 seconds into the first round at Ultimate Fight Night 11…

Rich Franklin will star in a new film titled “Weapon” with saved by the bell actress Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski). Franklin will play a “genetically engineered super-soldier” who has been apprehended by US Border patrol agent Thiffani Thiessen. The story revolves around the two being hunted down by the creator of the super-solider. The film is currently filming in Hamilton, Ontario and will be released at a later date.

I do not know the photographer’s info, so if you have it, I would love to post it. In the mean time, you’ve all asked for it, here’s a picture of Edith holding a card at UFC 78 in Newark NJ.
