Tuesday TV talk: HERO’s stays the course
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007The HEROs show on Monday at Yokohama Arena reportedly drew a 10.9% rating on Tokyo Broadcasting System.

Is there a way to stop booing at MMA events?
Monday, July 16th, 2007By Adam Morgan Related post from Five Ounces of Pain. The reason mixed martial arts promoters paper events is so that they can tout that their event was “sold out.” Making your product appear so appealing that tickets are hard to get makes people want to buy tickets. It’s a psychological principle known as scarcity […]

Monday morning quarterback: Back to the future
Monday, July 16th, 2007Is the San Diego Union-Tribune lumping UFC into a story about increased violence with assaults due to punching? Royce Gracie did not end up appealing his drug suspension in California. Steve Sievert reports that UFC 75 will be broadcast on Spike TV. Somehow, I don’t think this is the kind of mugshot that Renato Babalu […]
Sunday media slate: A Saturday full of surprises
Sunday, July 15th, 2007I took a beating over at MMA Predictions on my BodogFight match picks. I ended up picking Yoshiki Takahashi, Amar Suloev, Yves Edwards, and Roman Zentsov to win. Brutal. I did pick Yuki Kondo to lose, however. He paid the price against Trevor Langley. Sam Caplan on the uglyness at the BodogFight show. He says […]

Saturday media slate: What’s the UFC 76 main event?
Saturday, July 14th, 2007UFC & Spike TV ink a new deal. Chuck Liddell vs. Keith Jardine as the UFC 76 main event? One word – what? Why not book Liddell vs. Houston Alexander, the guy who beat Jardine? How about Liddell vs. Forrest Griffin, who actually won his last fight?

Thursday trash talk: Trigg and Toughman
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007Yahoo Sports says the Chuck Liddell/Wanderlei Silva fight will not happen on September 22nd. UFC Junkie Finds White’s claims peculiar. Let me state one thing perfectly clear – both Dann Stupp and Kevin Iole are good writers. They’re guys who do not screw around. I suspect Dana White is going to become a hot topic […]
