Strikeforce?s Jordan Mein hits head on camera during fight

Jordan Mein got up close and personal with one of Showtime's cameras during Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Kennedy. Watch what happens when he returns to his feet.

Camera operators at fights often lean into the cage when covering fights, but they are usually quick enough to get out of the way. This could have been disastrous for Mein if he had already absorbed many head shots. However, he was winning handily at this point in the fight and went on to take the decision, 30-27 on all three judges' cards.

Which Olympic Sport Is Most Tech-Dependent? [Chatroom]

Been watching the Olympics? Good! You are a true patriot. And along the way, you've also probably noticed that a lot of these sports seem to lean pretty heavily on the technology that accompanies them. Archery bows look like post-apocalyptic bunker defense. The shooting portion of the modern pentathlon is basically laser tag at this point. More »

Quinton Jackson draws Glover Teixeira in Brazil

To call the UFC's relationship with former champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson rocky is an understatement. With just one fight left on his contract, the UFC wanted to give him one last fight to remember.

What Bon Voyage gift did they give Jackson? A fight with phenom Glover Teixeira in Brazil in October at UFC 153. Teixeira, you may remember, is the fighter who blew through Kyle Kingsbury at UFC 146. His winning streak dates back to 2006, and his last six wins were by submission or decision.

Jackson, on the other hand, is 2-3 in his last five fights. His last win by stoppage was against Wanderlei Silva in 2008.

The UFC is also doing Jackson no favors by sending him to fight Teixeira in Brazil. Though Jackson spent much of his career in Japan with Pride, few non-Brazilian fighters have found success in the UFC's three cards there in the past year. Brazilians are 13-3 against foreigners across UFC 134, 142 and 147.

The two questions about this fight are will Jackson be able to stop the Teixeria hype train, and will he keep fighting after the bout is over? He has made it clear he doesn't want to stick with the UFC, but will Jackson fight elsewhere, or move on from MMA? Tell us what you think his next move should be.
