destined for the undercard. UFC 82 will be good with Silva/Henderson Fitch/Gono Herring/Kongo and Koscheck/Hazelett.
Yep Jason, Cummo said it will be a preliminary bout and it’s in this article as well. A win for Cummo would be interesting considering he’s won his last two UFC fights as it is. I just don’t see Fioravanti back in the UFC if he loses this fight for at least a year and 3+ wins in a row.
For anyone who’s interest MMAJunkie is running a series about Cummo’s Lifefood diet with MMA agent Ken Pavia. Here’s the link.
Also I don’t think Fitch-Gono is signed yet. Fitch has little to gain from the fight and was working on getting a fight against Karo for #1 contender.
Fitch Vs Karo would be a great fight. Give Gono someone like Lytle or Alves for his first fight if he signs.
Cummo is my hero
Luke Cummo might be the badest “Dungeons & Dragons nerd” out there. I think the kid has a huge heart, and has some wicked skills to back the heart. It is still a little wierd that he drinks his pee.
He is prolly the weirdest MMA fighter…..but thats why I like him. It woud be different if he drank his pee and got his ass whooped all the time…but he drinks it and whoops sum ass.
Luke Cummo is my dad!
cant wait for herring kongo be a battle i hope herring wins it,
cant belive this guy drinks his own piss thats just weired an i hope he gets beat the weird fuk!
I’ve liked Cummo ever since seeing him on TUF. Any fight of his that I’ve seen has been entertaining. Hopefully he finishes his fight quickly and we can see it as a bonus fight if the main card has extra time.
Did anyone read the article that Kris posted above about Cummo’s Lifefood diet? Definitely weird. Reading that makes the carrots that I’m currently snacking on taste pretty damn good.
I just read the lifefood diet piece, and it seems a little weird, but I’m pretty sure there are a lot of stranger things that UFC fighters do, that they won’t admit to than this diet. If it works for him, good for him. I personally cannot wait to see Luke fight again.
I know Luigi Fioravanti and served in the Marines with him. The pee drinking geek ass doesn’t stand a chance. Has Cummo ever beaten an ex champ. NO leave the comments to the real fighters. Semper Fi kick his ass Luigi! By the way Cummo’s stand up is a joke. 1st rd k.o.
check the stats if you want to see what your boy cummo is up against watch fioravanti vs menne. the ex camp gets owned in the first rd. cummo has never fought anybody but the ultimate fighter guys.
