Thursday, October 26th, 2006By Erin Bucknell Update: Din Thomas has a message for those of you who thought this week’s TV fight was boring. I argue that we haven’t seen nearly enough of Randy and GSP this season, and there is no excuse of this! Well, other than the fact that it’s about the fighters and not the […]

UFC Media Links
Monday, October 16th, 2006By Luke Nicholson Here’s a sample of the media coverage UFC is getting today. My favourite is the Couture piece by Neil Davidson of the Canadian Press. The other two are good articles as well, about Silva’s destruction of Rich Franklin, and what it means for UFC’s business. One quick link to point out is […]

All is not good in UFC land
Friday, October 13th, 2006By Zach Arnold With people reflecting upon the success of UFC’s 3.1 rating for Ken vs. Tito III, the obvious question asked by everyone was whether or not that rating meant that UFC would be able to create new fans that would watch their other programming. The first test was Thursday’s Ultimate Fighter show, which […]
The Ultimate Fighter Season 4, Episode 9
Thursday, October 12th, 2006By Erin Bucknell Well keeping the teams as is seems kinda pointless what with only Travis surviving from his team. Though I must say for the most part I’m definitely more of a MoJo fan, simply so I can have Serra’s “Hamma-Fist!!!†to snark at. “Mollywobâ€? And it’s another wierdass Shonie-ism.
