SBNation MMA Daily Wrap Up
Welcome to the second SBNation MMA daily wrap up where I give you my picks for the top stories around SBNation's MMA sites. Again, this won't just include posts by site staff but also fanposts as well.
Kalib Kelchner of Cage Side Seats scored an interview with Kung Fu Factory, the guys behind the up coming, already controversial MMA video game Supremacy MMA. The game won't play like a normal MMA game and instead will have more of an arcade type feel to it. Another detail is that both Jens Pulver and Jerome Le Banner will be playable characters in the game. It's worth a read as there is also the inclusion of a pretty brutal game trailer.
Also from Cage Side, KJ Gould was on hand for TUF veteran Roli Delgado's Muay Thai professional debut. His account is really well written and includes some quotes from Delgado who was victorious over Turan Hasanov, the clear favorite in the fight. It's worth a read since Hasanov was extremely cocky going into the fight. The post also includes video of the fight as well as photos from Bauzen.
The often controversial S.C. Michaelson has a quick post up about preliminary UFC fighters. The biggest complaint that fight fans have had is that the UFC contracts are binding and don't allow for fighters to fight outside of the promotion while under contract. S.C.'s post explores the possibility of this happening in the near future.
Over at Bloodyelbow, Brent Brookhouse breaks the news that Georges St. Pierre has split from his long time manager Shari Spencer. The split won't be from CAA but there were concerns that Spencer was holding St. Pierre back from potentially becoming one of the biggest sports stars in North America. It will be interesting to find out who will be managing St. Pierre in the future.
Everyone's favorite writer, Jonathan Snowden got a chance to interview current UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar about a litany of topics including what he thinks about everyone saying he's too small for 155, the fight with Gray Maynard, and potentially fighting in Madison Square Garden.
As for fan posts, my recommendation of the day is Tomas Rios' piece on Jose Aldo found in the BloodyElbow fanpost section. He does a great job at breaking down Jose Aldo's game and what makes him the top featherweight in the world. It's definitely a fantastic piece. Rios has been doing some great stuff lately and it's definitely one of his best.

Roliiiii
All of it is awesome, Snowden’s interview with Edgar gave me an enjoyable way to eat up some break time at work yesterday.
