UFC: Used For Cash?

Monday, September 25th, 2006

By Dave Ditch UFC is the cool kid everybody wants to be around. Some get to be real friends, while others just want the rub of popularity. PRIDE has been looking for the rub. Kurt Angle’s reference of UFC several months ago on ECW was an attempt to get some rub. Was Kurt Angle’s inference […]

Shelby Walker found dead

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Female boxer & MMA fighter Shelby Walker (information on her can be found here, here, here, and here) was found dead due to a suspected overdose of pain medication.

Kurt Angle heads to TNA

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Story information here. My first reaction — with Angle on TNA and Spike TV backing both TNA & UFC, the chances of Angle appearing in UFC (if he goes the MMA-and-wrestling combo route) just increased significantly. Unless, of course (as Dave Ditch pointed out to me), both Angle and TNA used UFC as nothing more […]

Renzo beats Miletich in the IFL

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

9/23 Moline, Illinois event results here. In-depth report here. A live event report from the show. Maybe the IFL can sign Yves Edwards soon. I couldn’t find any mainstream media/newspaper coverage coming out of the show. Update: I just watched the first of the Portland-taped IFL shows on FSN. This show featured Bas Rutten’s Anacondas […]

UFC 63: Hughes vs. Penn

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

By Erin Bucknell Quick event results recap here. Hmm, Penn certainly seems excessively confident. I really hope he’s been training hard and not just relying on his former win. Cause, that? Not such a good plan. Especially after his performance against GSP. Jens has been accused of having a style designed to “not lose”? Umm, […]

Japanese arrest happening soon?

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Apparently, the last editions of Weekly Fight are going out with a bang. Over at NHB News, they’re talking about a claim in WF that someone associated (how tight or loose the association is not said) around the Japanese MMA industry is about to get arrested soon. The question is whom it will be. Update: […]

Dana White vs. Jerry Millen

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

By Zach Arnold If the name Jerry Millen doesn’t sound familiar to you, then here’s a brief description of him. He’s based out of Detroit, made his name in television production, has done some stints in Hollywood, and does all of PRIDE’s American video editing. With this in mind, here’s quite a news item (from […]

Fight Opinion Radio: Episode 25 (Interview with Brian Ebersole)

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Despite having a slow news week for MMA content, Fight Opinion Radio is back with another interesting show that we anticipate you will enjoy listening to.

Kurt Angle indicates MMA is in his future

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

By Zach Arnold If you’ve been a regular reader of this site, you have read our reports (here and here) about the chances of Kurt Angle working in MMA. All signs point to Japan, the country with promoters who can offer the most money (and a country with no commission). Today, Angle released a statement […]
