Looks like there’s another UFC fighter disgruntled with the UFC’s contracts and/or negotiations for new deals.

Here’s an interesting five degrees of separation for you:

UFC employs Matt Hughes
Matt Hughes endorses Nutritox
Nutritox is a supplement associated with the Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks are owned by Mark Cuban
Mark Cuban is doing some small time investment in MMA to supply content to his HDNet television channel, which could involve employing a small number of high profile fighters to supplement their a la carte content from minor MMA organizations worldwide.

I’ve never even heard of Nutritox.

I could try asking my GNC mole (regional sales manager).

His take on Xyience was that although their products were good, they didn’t move much in terms of sales volume because, in his judgment, they didn’t have a large enough product line to get enough shelf space to be really visible in stores.

I see that Matt Hughes no longer has the Xyience link on his affiliations page but now has Nutritox has anyone tried their products?

Did the Yakuza kill Zach Arnold? Because here it is Monday and still no update. I am getting scared. What would a world without Zach Arnold be like?

There’d be more spirit love if we could somehow manage to see the show. Unless you’re in Korea, your SOL AFAIK. Although if I’m not, i’d love to know where i can see it.

Why no Spirit MC love?

I was at the fights yesterday, my second Spirit MC, and aside from an awful lot of accidental low blows (two out of three of my teammates were canned more than twice in their fights) and stops to check cuts, it was an exceptional card.

Jake Rossen’s piece at Sherdog today is quite nice.
