It was supposed to be UFC's HBO debut, but that fell through and it was too late to get a PPV spot.Quote:

Fedor armbarred Lindland in just under 3 minutes. Christ that guy is good.
I was just doing some reading, and it turns out that Jens went to highschool at a school which was quite literally a 2 minute drive on the same road from where I live. Interesting.

More MMA on tv. I hope it's good. I have a hard time watching IFC all the way through and bodog is just a joke.Quote:

During an appearance on Spike TV on April 12th White accused me of failure to show up for a fight we had originally scheduled for March 24th. He did so at the end of the program and gave me no opportunity to respond or tell the real story, which is simply this: White was fully informed well in advance of March 24th that I would not fight without a contract, which White refused to sign. Fighting is my livelihood and jeopardizing my body without a full understanding of conditions, doesn't make any sense. No professional fighter will go into a match without a contract. Ive struggled to get respect and dignity for my profession and I do it in the way I lead my life as a fighter and as a human being. Danas attitude not only disrespects me, but all fighters. I am taking this stand just not for this one incident, but for all future champions. I want to reiterate: I am ready to settle my differences with Dana White in any fighting forum we can agree on, but only if there is a signed contract that stipulates where the money is going, whether it is to charity or to the fighters doesnt matter as much as having a definitive agreement.
Until Dana White is ready to fight me on a professional basis, I strongly urge him to keep his mouth shut.
WWE booshit style hype or truth?
Both, I'd bet.Quote:

That...doesn't look right.
Anyways, they should take away the ability of the coaches/winning team picking the fights. It often means one team can set up a bunch of mismatches which, if the whole point of TUF is to get guys prepped for the bigs, is counter-productive.
There should be a panel (current champs, former stars, even the contestants themselves) that decides which matches will take place, with an eye on competitiveness.
Also, Go Team Penn.
Sure it does. I always root for BJ's.Quote:
