It’s been an interesting ride for former UFC star Todd Duffee, and many questions still surround the man. Was he all hype and no substance? Is he his own worst enemy? Was the UFC justified in releasing him? And perhaps the most important question in the here and now: where does Todd Duffee go from here, following a brutal KO loss to Alistair Overeem in under twenty seconds? Here’s the latest on Todd Duffee, straight from the man himself. ...

Alistair Overeem will get his wish..well, kind of. A big sticking point for the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Champion was to fight for the vacant DREAM heavyweight title, should he fight at the promotion's year-end show. Overeem will in fact vie for the organization's heavyweight strap, albeit in interim form when he takes on former UFC star and rising prospect Todd Duffee tonight at the Super Saitama Arena in Saitama, Japan. Both "The Demolition Man" and Duffee made weight for their heavyweight contest, as well as all other competitors for tonight's epic card. ...

It’s been rumored to be going down for some time now, and it’s just now been confirmed as official. Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion and 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix Champion Alistair Overeem will be competed at the upcoming New Year’s Eve “DYNAMITE!! 2010” super-show, a co-promotional effort between Japanese MMA promotion DREAM and famed kickboxing promotion K-1, both of which are owned by parent company Fighting and Entertainment Group. And his opponent? No less than the man that holds the record for the fastest KO in UFC history. Here are all the details. ...

A previously rumored match up pitting UFC veteran Todd Duffee against Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem is now said to be finalized for the year-end extravaganza for DREAM's: Dynamite!! 2010 show. The two parties have been in negotiation's recently sinced a proposed fight pitting Overeem and former WWE star turned mixed martial artist: Bobby Lashley, had failed to materialize due to monetary expectations, or in his case a lack thereof. ...

If there’s one thing DREAM and K-1’s mixed-card New Year’s Eve “DYNAMITE” extravaganza can’t be accused of, it’s an inability to drum up hype. It seems that not a day goes by without some new bit of news surrounding the card or some hot piece of gossip that gets the rumor mill churning. A few days ago I gave my opinion on one such rumor, which hinted that a fight between Bobby Lashley and Alistair Overeem may be going down. It now appears that the rumor was just that, but fear not “Ubereem” fans: another rumor has popped up to take its place, and this one pits Overeem against the man who officially holds the record for the fastest-ever KO in UFC history. Here are all the details. ...

It can be tough to determine the best way to grow your roster when you’re a growing promotion. Such is the case for strikeforce, which seems to be solving the riddle of its rosters in several different ways in several different weight divisions. Strikeforce seems to be bringing in big-name Heavyweights more often, while focusing on growing instead of importing stars in their other divisions. Case in point: it was recently revealed that Strikeforce won’t be pursuing Gerald Harris, and it was also recently revealed that Strikeforce did in fact pursue Todd Duffee only to get turned down. ...

Journalists sometimes make mistakes. In the rush to get to the next big story as quickly as possible, sometimes details get overlooked and the truth gets obscured or even outright forgotten. ufc star Matt Brown likely had a fun few hours when he first got hold of an online report stating that he had been released from his UFC contract. While that turned out not to be the case, I’ve got to wonder if it was sound logic to begin with. Here are all the details. ...

Todd Duffee has had a rocky road here in 2010. After debuting with the organization in August of 2009, where the juggernaut heavyweight star recorded the fastest knockout in the promotion's history after dispatching veteran Tim Hague in just 7 seconds at ufc 102, things would not go as swimmingly for the Xtreme Couture product. Todd next faced PRIDE veteran Mike Russow at UFC 114 in August of this year. Duffee spent a year away from the cage after a debilitating back injury before returning to the octagon to face Russow, but looked like every bit of the phenom that he was billed to be in the early goings of the fight. After dropping Mike early in the first round, it looked like it was just a matter of time before Russow would fall, after Duffee was able to land many telling blows all throughout the bout. Then, out of nowhere, Mike connected on a right hand in the middle of the third-round. Another right hand from Russow signaled the end out of the bout and eventually the end of Duffee's UFC career. ...

As the year is coming closer to an end, the now annual World MMA Awards, which is hosted by Fighters Only Magazine, has recently announced their finalists for the December 1st event, which will take place once again in Las Vegas, Nev., which has become a hot bed for all things fighting related. The 2009 event opened up to a large audience, and has become a propellant in the mixed martial arts world, opening up the eyes to a mainstream audience, by the community taking leaps and bounds in order to legitimize itself as not only a legitimate sport, but one that deserves that same sort of recognition that most others receive, here in these United States. ...

While Todd Duffee's presence is already missed from the ufc, his release was left as a last resort. The heavyweight star made waves right away in the division when his much anticipated octagon debut met and exceeded all expectations, when the 24-year-old knocked out veteran Tim Hague in just 7 seconds at UFC 102 in August of last year. Sidelined due to injury, Duffee returned 9 months later and was thoroughly dominating PRIDE veteran Mike Russow for two and a half rounds. Then, out of nowhere, the body builder was put down by the body spiller, when a vicious right hand connected for Russow, another one followed and Duffee was out cold. Now this wouldn't be enough reason to release a previously undefeated heavyweight prospect with the kind of buzz that surrounded Todd, but if you read you might see why he got his UFC walking papers. ...

Dana White has had a lot to say leading up to today’s UFC 119 card…but let’s be honest, when has Dana White ever not had a lot to say? In a new interview with MMAWeekly, Dana White addressed the recent firings of Efrain Escudero and Todd Duffee. Both men were talented performers who hit several stumbling blocks recently, but many have argued that their release was premature and unwarranted. Here’s what the UFC President had to say. ...

The ufc is easily the most competitive pro MMA organization on the planet. Those that don’t measure up are quickly disposed of, no matter what their accolades were in the past. Keith Jardine was a fan-favorite veteran of over a dozen UFC fights and still got the axe. Kimbo Slice helped bring in some of the biggest ratings in the history of the “Ultimate Fighter” reality TV show, and he quickly received his pink slip after going 1-1 in the organization. And according to MMAJunkie.com, you can now add Todd Duffee, who holds the record for the quickest KO in UFC history, to the growing list of UFC exiles. ...

Bellator's heavyweight tournament has been trimming away the fat of the group thus far, leaving us with the prime rib, the final four of the 8-man tournament. While "The Goliath" Neil Grove was already impressive in his debut, when he dispatched of UFC veteran Eddie Sanchez inside of the first round in their bout at Bellator 24, some new challengers have emerged from Bellator 25, which was held just last night, on August 19. ...

Awoke to the sun shining and my thoughts about UFC 114 running rampant in my head. So as always "The Reverend of MMA" will bring you the gospel on yet another event, UFC 114: Rampage vs. Rashad. ...

American Kickboxing Academy heavyweight "Headhunter" Paul Buentello (27-9) will return to the UFC and fight American Top Team's Todd Duffee (5-0) at UFC 107 in Memphis December 12, according to a report at MMA Junkie. ...
