“I thought MMA was regulated in Mass.”

I think its a lot like how it is in CT — its OK on Indian territory or in casinos, but maybe not anywhere else in the state. I’ve been to amateur fights in Mass, so who really knows.

Nice to see we finally have an extensive copy of the Zuffa Myth in PDF form.

FACT: SEG hated any form of rules/regulations and fighters were still bringing brass knuckles and pythons into the cage before the Zuffa purchase.

FACT: MMA was invented in 1993.

Chuck “I lost to Kieth Jardine” Liddell thinks he can beat Fedor?

Uh-huh.

Fedor would ground and pound Liddell into unconsciousness, and by the time Chuck wakes up, his mohawk will be back in style.

The article by Jake Rossen was one of the best I have read on Sherdog in a long time. He is spot on about Fedor.

I checked out the MMA Facts Website. It is nice. Shows how it can benefit the state, which when it comes down to it, is all the politicans care about.

The picture of Jardine is the best thing on the facts site.

Wow, well the coverage of UFC-MMA Lobbying in New York certainly is being buried now.

A Governor who gets caught red-handed for hiring a hooker. Thats so juicy no one is going to care about legalizing MMA for at least a few months.

I wonder if Cage Rage will sue them? They should send a cease and desist just for fun. I’m actually creating a site (with the help of other bloggers) similar to the UFC “Fact Site” without the crazy bias. Our site will be better though.

In addition to the Lindland bio, the main image on the “history” page is of the Cage Rage fighting surface.

Total MMA has some of the best writing on the Interweb right now. It has very professional writing for a a fan site. I dig it.

MMAfacts.com has a really good bio page that is interesting. I wonder if it’s done by an independent group hired by the UFC? It has Matt Lindland on it.

Most interesting thing about that MMAFacts site is that Matt Lindland is profiled on the ‘Athletes’ page. Zuffa thinking of bringing him back?
