Monday, April 23rd, 2007A story under the radar right now that could make some major waves is an article in the latest edition of Shukan Post, which claims that “Mr. X” could be in a lot of trouble (my personal guess is that they are referring to Ushio Higuchi, the main producer of K-1 events on Tokyo Broadcasting […]
Latest IFL news
Monday, April 23rd, 2007They announced this morning that they are moving their June 16th event from Reno, Nevada (at the nice Reno Events Center) to the Las Vegas Hilton hotel & casino. I think it’s unfortunate that they are moving the event away from Reno. The IFL could have done steady business from some pretty loyal local fans […]
Monday review: The Gabriel Gonzaga Show
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007By Zach Arnold I saw a Japanese article at innolife talking about a recent 5 vs. 5 series with South Korean vs. ATT fighters. Is there any more information available about that event? Gambling 911 on the Dana/Fedor contract dispute, if you want to call it that. Plus, they acknowledge some of the questions we’ve […]
A quick note on Fight Opinion Radio
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007I realize that the podcasting feed was popular, but not as popular as I first thought. As you know, the original podcasting feed on our site has been off-and-on, iffy at times to work with. Since we upgraded the software on our server side to update things, it’s basically flaked out and went kaput. iTunes […]
Sunday slam: Mirko’s loss and the PRIDE name
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007By Zach Arnold Our latest site poll results for the following question: Which league do you see surviving the longest? PRIDE – 66% Elite XC – 26% IFL – 8% A new poll has been added to the right side of the page. On all of the major international news wire services, Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga […]
UFC 70 recap
Saturday, April 21st, 2007By Zach Arnold We start with the annoying gladiator video opener. Listening to Michael Bisping talk, it’s amazing that Spike TV actually put subtitles on the screen whenever he talked during The Ultimate Fighter. Even when he loses, I always love watching Elvis Sinosic. He’s a great character. “Everyone always has a plan until they […]
UFC 70 open discussion
Saturday, April 21st, 2007Pre-show thoughts, during-show thoughts, and post-show thoughts go here. I’m setting this post up as I will watch the show on TV and do a recap later for the site. UFC 70 event results.
Saturday splash: No love for Fabricio Werdum
Friday, April 20th, 2007One Randy Couture says that he thinks Mirko Cro Cop will lose to Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 70. I suggested the same thing a couple of weeks ago and drew surprise. I expect to be laughed at soon. Randy also picked Arlovski over Werdum, whereas I think Werdum has a real good shot here to […]
Report: UFC not to air on WOWOW in May
Friday, April 20th, 2007Gryphon picked up on a hot lead, and I decided to go ahead and do a quick translation (paraphasing some of what was said) of the post he alluded to.
Update on Ed Fishman lawsuit
Friday, April 20th, 2007By Zach Arnold Last Monday, the next court-approved meeting for the Fishman Companies vs. DSE Inc. was originally set for May 17th at 9 AM PST in Clark County (Las Vegas), Nevada. However, there is a new hearing scheduled for Wednesday, April 25th at 9:30 AM PST. For the 4/25 hearing, the lawyer for the […]

Friday, April 20th, 2007By Mark Pickering Cage Rage has announced the withdrawal of Bob ‘The Beast’ Sapp from Saturday’s ‘Judgement Day’ Card at the Wembley Arena. Sapp, who was due to return to action after a one-year absence against fellow K-1 veteran Gary ‘The Smiler’ Turner, cited personal reasons for his late exit. “He is unlikely to be […]
Friday media flash: The heat-up for UFC 70
Friday, April 20th, 2007There is a report that UFC has signed a major advertising deal with Feather Brooksbank in the UK. On Thursday, officials from the anti-yakuza task force of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police had a JBC-sanctioned meeting with 56 people associated with boxing gyms in Tokyo. The meeting was the first in a series of lectures of […]
Fight Opinion Radio #46: The world of Zuffa
Thursday, April 19th, 2007This week’s 60-minute show covers the main stories in the past week of MMA, including the fallout from the Dana White/Tito Ortiz ‘Bad Blood’ docudrama that Spike TV aired last week. Did Tito Ortiz’s career suffer damage due to the show? What exactly was the payoff? Begrudgingly, we discuss these issues. Also, we talk about […]
