Friday fight notes: Bonnar and Griffin to train together
By Zach Arnold | July 19, 2007
I have no idea what to make of this. Professionalism 101? Why not.
“Ken Pavia, my new manager, called me yesterday and asked me to fight Mike Swick in place of Chris Leben,” Goulet said. “He called me back two hours later and said Mike Swick didn’t accept [the fight], but I don’t think it was Swick [who declined]; I think it was his management.”
Stephan Bonnar has joined Team Couture.
Onto today’s headlines.

I was in Goulet’s locker room Saturday night when Pavia called him and gave him the pitch to be his new manager. That cat is persuasive.

The power of Sherdog even though 75% of the people there are brain-dead idiots…
I should qualify that I meant sherdog.net not sherdog.com.
Awesome find on Bonnar joining Couture, should be good for him.
Personally, I haven’t been very impressed with Bonnar I think he really needs to prove himself if he ever wants to overcome the stigma of being suspended for steroids.
Good job on the new article Breen.
Zack, thank you.
Props to Rogan on the Marijuana Legalization plug.
I miss Frank Mir. Where has he gone, and who is this chubby, unmotivated slob impersonating him?
“Props to Rogan on the Marijuana Legalization plug.”
That wasn’t Joe Rogan. At least, not according to Joe Rogan.
DAMN! We can’t see Bonnar vs Griffin 3? What will the UFC do without another unnecessary rematch?
