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 […]

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 […]

Tuesday talking points: 8,622? 8,622!
Monday, July 9th, 2007Underground cage fighting. Plus, Xyience Training Center Grand Opening. UFC 73 attendance, gate, and purse information. Look at the figures – 8,622 paid. They did a little under 8,000 in Ireland. This may sound like piling on here, but I’ve been saying far and wide in media outlets that once UFC gets out of the […]
Monday newsmakers: UFC or competitive eating?
Sunday, July 8th, 2007On Pedro Fernandez’s Ring Talk radio show on Sunday night, he played audio clips from the UFC 73 show featuring Tito Ortiz, Dana White, and Randy Couture.

The product is growing stale
Sunday, July 8th, 2007By Tim Leidecker When a friend of mine introduced me to the sport of Mixed Martial Arts at the end of the 1990s, all was still right with the world.
