Friday, 18 April 2008

ImageOn April 19 the landscape of Mixed Martial Arts in Canada will change forever. The Ultimate Fighting Championship, the premier MMA promotion in the world, will have its event on Canadian soil for the first time in history. The ink on 20,000 tickets barely had time to dry before the home of the National Hockey League’s Montreal Canadians sold out, only hours after going on sale. If ticket sales at the Bell Centre in Montreal are any indication, MMA is taking Canada by storm.

Despite his age Couture remains one of the top fighters on the planet and has done more in the sport of MMA than most will ever dream of. Very few of the well known current UFC fighters including current and past champions, can match the level of success Couture has acheived. Be sure of one thing, despite what anyone will tell you his loss will be felt in the UFC, if in fact he does not return. However, don’t be so certain we have seen the last of Couture in the UFC.

ImageOver a month has passed since Mirko’s debut in the UFC 67. I’ve seen almost 30-odd UFC shows, but this is the first time I’ve seen so many Japanese press reporters. Chalk it up to the "star power" of Mirko Crocop. Any and all of their questions were directed to Mirko - not a single question about the UFC. In either case, not a second went by that the local press wasn’t using to hound Mr. Crocop.

The UFC must resign Matt Lindland PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mike Doyle

Shortly after UFC 54: Boiling Point, Matt Lindland was surprisingly released from his contract with the UFC even though he was considered the #1 middleweight contender.

However, during the weigh-ins he wore a shirt advertising an online sports book that the UFC deemed as breaching his contract because of their sponsorship terms. Was the UFC looking for a technicality that would prevent Lindland from facing their new middleweight poster boy?
