Similar Histories: UFC and WWE.
Friday, October 6th, 2006By: Luke Nicholson To some people the similarities between UFC and WWE might just be coincidence, or maybe there are small little details that separate them, and to an extent that might be true. But, the fact that these two promotions are following such a similar timeline, and given the similar personalities that run both […]

BJ Penn vs. Matt Hughes II
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006By Luke Nicholson In case you’ve been living under a rock somewhere, UFC is having a HELL of a year.

IFL on Rogers Sportsnet
Tuesday, July 11th, 2006By: Luke Nicholson Fight Report has a story on the IFL signing a television deal with Rogers Sportsnet, out of CANADA~!, to air their originally aired programming from FSN.

Rogan out, Couture in at UFC 61.
Saturday, July 8th, 2006By: Luke Nicholson I guess this has been known for months, although I had no idea, that Joe Rogan has a gig at a comedy show in Boston tonight and won’t be available to do colour commentary for UFC 61 tonight.
