Wednesday, August 29th, 2007When I was 13 years old, asking for secret sauce meant the mystery dipping condiment with your french fries. Now, secret sauce has a whole new meaning for 13 year olds. (Hat tip: Mikeinformer.) More reaction to this story can be found here. Plus, more discussion about steroids and UFC fighters. How MMA’s popularity is […]

Monday medical notes: Several fighters at UFC 74 injured
Monday, August 27th, 2007Quote of the day on ESPN TV: Washington Post sports columnist Michael Wilbon stating that he wants to see Randy Couture take on Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, nothing more or nothing less. In other words, Wilbon doesn’t want to see Randy fight anyone else. In a strange and funny way, he may have stumbled onto an […]
Saturday update: The road to UFC 74
Saturday, August 25th, 2007This is a primer for you to read before UFC 74 takes place. NPR (National Public Radio) did an article on MMA that was… well… it was what it was. The New York State Athletic Commission once again came out against MMA and in favor of boxing. The article also shamelessly parrots The Zuffa Myth. […]

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007The views and opinions expressed by guests on the Fight Opinion Radio show are those of the guests and not necessarily those expressed by the staff of Fight Opinion Radio.

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007Mauro Ranallo interviewed Stephen Quadros on Wednesday (audio here). Plus, an MMA Madness interview with Georges St. Pierre. Dave Doyle on what to look for at UFC 74.

I expect a mixture of both positive and negative feedback to the re-design, but I feel that the new look will help our readers gather more information quickly on a daily basis. Because the new site format will be pulling links […]

Thursday, August 16th, 2007Two more drug test failures, this time coming out of K-1’s Las Vegas show over the weekend. Check out the T/E ratio for Nordstand – 21:1. This has been a disastrous week of PR for K-1. First, the failed drug tests. Second, the allegations that they falsified the MRIs of Choi Hong-Man so he could […]

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007The IFL filed it’s 10-Q report with the SEC (links here and here). The numbers don’t lie.
