Five things I learned from the UFC 75 conference call
Thursday, August 30th, 2007By Zach Arnold Luke Thomas wrote-up an excellent summary of the UFC 75 conference call. My first thoughts after reading the summary: Renato Babalu was fired from UFC for holding a choke hold on David Heath for around 3-4 seconds after the referee asked him to let go.

Tuesday headlines: Rickson Gracie is returning
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007There is a brand new SEC filing by Pro Elite. Any new information in the filing? I did notice this gem on page 15: The material weaknesses noted were: (1) the Company inadequately maintained accounting records, (2) accounting policies and procedures were not formally documented, and (3) the accounting department did not have sufficient technical […]

Monday, August 27th, 2007By Zach Arnold Most hardcore MMA fans online generally understand how Zuffa LLC, the parent company of UFC, does business — especially when fighters have one fight left remaining on their contract.

Saturday headlines: K-1 is still confused
Friday, August 17th, 2007On the K-1 web site, you can vote on two all-star fighters advancing to their 9/29 Seoul, South Korea World GP event. Guess what is option five on the voting list? Zabit Samedov, who just got busted in Nevada for failing a drug test due to taking stanozolol. Brilliant timing. Then again, it’s K-1. Do […]
