Strikeforce/EliteXC: Shamrock VS. Baroni

by: Average Joe 1 year, 3 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 7 hours, 9 minutes ago

The much talked about PPV from Strikeforce & EliteXC took place over the weekend, but is this a PPV that will be discussed around the water cooler, or is it just another case of an event failing to live up to the hype surrounding it?

UFC 72 Review

by: DarthMolen 1 year, 3 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 18 hours, 32 minutes ago

Email Review print review

UFC 72 was a very pedestrian affair. It wasn’t horrible yet only one fight was stellar. With no title matches on the line and a main event that was a snooze fest until the third round, the whole card seemed lifeless and devoid of meaning. The crowd was magnificent in spite of the inaction and even erupted in soccer chants especially during the Forrest Griffin fight. The seats were full even in the prelim’s which bodes well for Zuffa’s pocket book.

UFC Fight Night 6/12/2007

by: DarthMolen 1 year, 3 months, 4 weeks, 1 day, 9 hours, 30 minutes ago

The fights on this free card were spectacular. None of the televised preliminary matches went the full three rounds and each was spectacular in their own right. The main event capped the evening and provided a firework display that rivaled any other match shown in the UFC this year.

The WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) is a smaller MMA company purchased by Zuffa back in 2006. It features Bantamweight (135) through Light Heavyweight (205) and usually operates out of Southern California. The WEC has recently transitioned from HDNET to Versus and they are scheduled to bring 3 of their events Live throughout the summer. Last night, June 3rd, was their first attempt at a Live TV production and it went off rather well.
