Wednesday, August 30th, 2006By Stephan Marceau I guess Dana is tired of hearing the charades about UFCs low wages, check what he has to say here. “I’ve made more millionaires in this business than anybody else has,” White added. It’s nice to hear his side of the story, finally. I have also been critical of the UFC wages, […]
UFC 62 Preview
Thursday, August 24th, 2006By Stephan Marceau Most people think this card is not particularly interesting and say they will give it a pass (not buy the PPV), we shall see. It is not a very strong card. The main event Babalu vs Liddell may be the only reason to get this PPV, but keep in mind that sometimes […]
UFN 6 – Analysis
Tuesday, August 15th, 2006By Stephan Marceau As usual I like to review and analyze the line up! This card is particularly good for a free card as you will see. I didnt do the full card, but the most intesting fights imho. So without further due: Jason Von Flue Vs. Joe Riggs Riggs has been kind of lackluster […]
Brandon Vera vs Frank Mir at UFC 65
Tuesday, August 8th, 2006By Stephan Marceau Updated the title to reflect the confirmation that this is now scheduled for UFC 65. Originally Brandon Vera’ site is the one that misled me to think it was at 62, the site has subsequently been updated to reflect that the fight is scheduled for UFC 65 That seems rather fast for […]
UFC on rematches
Friday, July 28th, 2006By Stephan Marceau Many of us (us includes me, yes) have been complaining that all we have been getting lately in the UFC is rematches, well the UFC itself has posted an article analyzing that very fact. The rematch is a strange beast to figure out. In boxing (with obvious exceptions, of course), it can […]
MMA a threat to boxing?
Wednesday, July 26th, 2006By Stephan Marceau The Boxing press must really feel threatened these days, I keep coming across these types of articles from the boxing world. Check this article out, in it Dan Morgan is trying to rationalize that boxing is not threatened by the growth of the UFC. He should be a little more open and […]
Article on Halifax ECC 3 in Globe and Mail
Monday, July 24th, 2006By Stephan Marceau The Globe and Mail had an article, before the show, on the ECC in Halifax, which was on the same night as the WFA. The sport they call human cockfighting Not a very flattering article, but what can you expect from the Globe and Mail. And here is an actual review of […]
UFC 61 Payouts
Thursday, July 20th, 2006By Stephan Marceau The following are the official pay outs from the UFC 61 “Bitter Rivals” pay-per view from July 8th.

Andrei Arlovski […]
UFC 62 card firming up
Monday, July 17th, 2006By Stephan Marceau So far the card has: Chuck Liddell Vs. Renato “Babalu” Sobral Can Babalu withstand Chucks kicks and hits? Can he take down Chuck long enough to take care of him? I’m looking forward to this rematch. The UFC clearly thinks that Chuck will win easily to then face Wanderlei Silva. Chuck should […]

Interview with Sam Stout
Tuesday, July 11th, 2006By Stephan Marceau A short and interesting interview, post defeat for Sam. He has the right attitude and is learning from his defeat, hopefully he will progress from there. Meanwhile it has been reported that Kenny Florian turned down a title fight against Sherk at UFC 62 (August 26). It used to be nobody would […]
PRIDE vs. UFC heading toward all-out war
Monday, July 10th, 2006By Stephan Marceau I didn’t make this title up, this comes from this article on the PRIDE web site. Well, if you missed Saturday’s UFC, the big news, Wanderlei Silva is to fight Chuck Liddell! Apparently Chuck has been asking for this matchup. So, I wasn’t exactly sure why Wanderlei Silva was wearing a Pride […]
UFC 61 Analysis
Thursday, July 6th, 2006By Stephan Marceau Is it me or is the buzz not as great for this weekend’s UFC as usual? I dont hear or see much of buzz in the fan forums about this event. Maybe we’re getting saturated…UFC will have to be careful with that. Well it looks like its not me after all…I just […]
