Changes in embedded site feeds
Monday, June 30th, 2008As you may have noticed, we are slowly but surely changing the feeds currently embedded on our site. We’re going to be adding some new feeds and perhaps getting rid of some that aren’t making the cut. A couple of things that are brought up because of these changes: 1) There is so much MMA-related […]
Monday morning review (6/30/08)
Monday, June 30th, 2008Here’s a report claiming that Delaware could soon ban MMA. Jake Rossen asks whether or not we should care about Quinton Jackson vs. Forrest Griffin at UFC 86. It harkens back to a debate hardcores love to have online, which is how effective or ineffective UFC has been in marketing Jackson (as compared to Chuck […]

Revamping embedded RSS feeds
Sunday, June 29th, 2008As you might have noticed lately, a lot of the various audio feeds that we embedded on the site to different MMA radio shows are either not being updated or the content is sporadic.

Melendez loses in Strikeforce: What’s next for Gilbert?
Friday, June 27th, 2008Josh Thomson beat him tonight in San Jose. If a video of the fight surfaces, we’ll link to it. For those of us stuck in Comcast-land, getting HDNet Fights is not easy unless you have a dish. I’d love to see HDNet Fights put some of their recent content in embeddable video format (like MSNBC) […]
Today’s chalkboard (6/26/08)
Thursday, June 26th, 2008I have a new article up at MMA Memories discussing the prospects of Urijah Faber vs. Kid Yamamoto happening. It’s a fight that I think we all want to see, but it will be a very complicated process politically to get it booked. Business Week: Giving UFC its proper due The Stockton Record (CA): EXC […]
