UFN 6 – Analysis
Tuesday, August 15th, 2006By Stephan Marceau As usual I like to review and analyze the line up! This card is particularly good for a free card as you will see. I didnt do the full card, but the most intesting fights imho. So without further due: Jason Von Flue Vs. Joe Riggs Riggs has been kind of lackluster […]
Heat-up for TUF 4
Tuesday, August 15th, 2006By Zach Arnold There is a lot of press coverage this week in the media for this Thursday’s season-opening show for The Ultimate Fighter: Season 4. Neil Davidson in the Canadian Press (article here at Canada.com) has an article, along with The Dartmouth Online, the UK’s News & Star, The Boston Herald, and Multichannel News. […]
UFC makes another acquisition
Friday, August 11th, 2006Multichannel News is reporting that InDemand programming executive Marshall Zelaznik will join UFC and head up their UK opertaions.

Meanwhile, an update on the Silva/Liddell story that was first reported by CP (Canadian Press) in the Calgary Sun – the CP wire report […]
Dana says Liddell/Silva unlikely to happen
Friday, August 11th, 2006By Zach Arnold CP (Canadian Press) reports that UFC is now postponing plans for a fight in November between Chuck Liddell and Vanderlei Silva. This news comes one month after Dana White announced on PPV (in Las Vegas) that Silva would fight Liddell. He cited problems in dealing with the Japan-based Pride Fighting Championships that […]
Big talk, little interest
Thursday, August 10th, 2006By Zach Arnold Consider this an opinion piece, if you liked to be warned in advance. For the last week or so, I’ve seen reports online about comments PRIDE boss Nobuyuki Sakakibara has been making about how his guys would beat the UFC fighters. UFC, to their credit, has literally said nothing about any sort […]

Thursday, August 10th, 2006By Mark Pickering UFC bound Mario “Sukata†Neto who was due to face former Cage Rage Heavyweight Champion Tengiz Tedoradze this Saturday at Ultimate Force 3 in Doncaster, England has been forced to withdraw through injury.

Brandon Vera vs Frank Mir at UFC 65
Tuesday, August 8th, 2006By Stephan Marceau Updated the title to reflect the confirmation that this is now scheduled for UFC 65. Originally Brandon Vera’ site is the one that misled me to think it was at 62, the site has subsequently been updated to reflect that the fight is scheduled for UFC 65 That seems rather fast for […]
Drama between Miletich & White continues
Friday, August 4th, 2006By Zach Arnold 2006 has publicly proven to be quite the interesting year between superstar MMA trainer/businessman Pat Miletich and UFC President Dana White. Tim Sylvia, Miletich’s top heavyweight, remains UFC champion. Miletich gave a witness deposition statement in the UFC vs. IFL court case earlier this year, in which he talked about Dana’s displeasure […]
The future of Xyience
Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006By Zach Arnold Xyience, which is the main sponsor of UFC telecasts (and has sponsorship deals with several fighters), may be facing some financial problems (according to a report on F4W). In what could end up being a huge story, the word in Las Vegas the last few days is that there may be major […]

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006By Mark Pickering UFC’s latest acquisition, Mario Sukata, is set to face the returning former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Mark Coleman, in September (according to Sukata’s teammates).
Drug testing in MMA
Tuesday, August 1st, 2006By Zach Arnold Jeff Thaler indicates that Kimo may be suffering from Floyd Landis-itis about accusations of doping. Ivan Trembow reports that the Nevada State Athletic Commission is showing its thriftyness… by not drug testing many fighters on UFC cards. Kizer’s explanation is amusing, as he tries to explain why there was $835.20 USD in […]
Big thinking
Monday, July 31st, 2006By Zach Arnold The Houston Chronicle reports that UFC will run a show in either Houston or Dallas in early 2007. “Expanding to Texas is a natural,” said Ratner. “Houston and Dallas are major-league cities. When you look at the pay-per-view numbers, there is a big contingent of people who buy out of the state […]
