Friday, September 14th, 2007Blowback to the BMA’s call for banning MMA. You can now count the Australian Medical Association expressing concern about MMA.

Monday madness: Mark Cuban wants Fedor
Monday, September 3rd, 2007Your top headline of the day – Mark Cuban wants to do business with Fedor. I don’t know whether to be excited or scared about this.

Monday, August 20th, 2007K-1 announced Masato vs. Buakaw Por Pramuk for their 10/3 K-1 World MAX tournament show in Tokyo at Nippon Budokan.
