Evening news update: UFC 71 coverage heats up
By Zach Arnold | May 15, 2007
The MMA World League web site is going to stream the Gracie Fighting Championship event (on May 19th from Ohio). Wallid Ismail is building up this web site pretty fast and is doing a good job with it. Let me know if you watch any of the events streamed on that site and what the quality is.
An intriguing article in The Columbia Missourian, talking about how the Missouri State House attached an amendment about ‘midwifery’ and licensing private investigators in order to stall a bill that would regulate MMA.
So, when we will see the MMA version of ‘blogola‘? Or is it already happening and I’ve missed out on it? 
I didn’t realize MMA Weekly had an RSS feed. They should use FeedBurner and get more subscriptions.
Onto tonight’s headlines.

It also souns like ESPN is going to be doing full fight coverage for Liddell vs. Rampage.
I checked out the Washington DC Revolution show, quality was good and no issue with speed. I didn’t watch it live though. It was worth 10 bucks but I wouldn’t pay the 30 for GFC even if their card hadn’t fallen apart. Companies gotta learn that streaming internet isn’t worth the same price as PPV.
Thanks for the tip on the MMA weekly RSS. I always looked for one and rever found it because my browser never picked it up. Agree on feedburner, it’s a great service.
Good collection of articles as well…
Also, would you like to exchange links? I will put yours up now, I’d love a link back. Feel free to stop by and leave a comment letting me know when you have it up. Thanks!
The comments in Liddells nail painting are funny.
