 If you pay attention to MMA, it’s generally pretty easy to guess who’s going to win each season of The Ultimate Fighter reality television show.
Guys like Diego Sanchez, Joe Stevenson and Mac Danzig were all obvious picks, since each came into his respective season with far more quality experience and from better camps than most of their competitors. Accounting for experience and training partners generally makes it pretty simple to separate the Forrest Griffins from the Josh Raffertys. Granted, there are always surprises -- Gabe Rudiger can pull a Gabe Rudiger or Chris Leben can lose on cuts to Kenny Florian -- but a lot of times it seems like the cast of the Ultimate Fighter is one C.B. Dollaway and 15 Patrick Schultzes.
Enter Amir Sadollah.

 We couldn’t help but notice that just two days before EliteXC’s “Return of the King,” card goes down in Honolulu, Hi., the only mention of the company on the front page of the largest MMA fan forum on the Internet is a thread titled, “Would you leave your woman for Gina Carano?”
As gripping as that question may be, it’s probably not a good thing that just a couple of weeks after putting on the most-watched show in the history of MMA, EliteXC’s follow-up card doesn’t seem to be making much of a dent with fans.
Odd, since Gary Shaw’s promotion has actually has some serious fighters on this weekend’s show.

 Just a week after UFC President Dana White expressed his
distaste for books in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, it seems he
hates one specific book worst of all: “This is Gonna Hurt,” the newly published
autobiography of Tito Ortiz.
Ortiz was recently served a cease and desist request from
his one-time employer, because the book’s cover features a photo of the former light
heavyweight champion wearing the UFC title belt. Zuffa, the UFC’s parent
company, contends the belt is its intellectual property and that blah, blah,
blah, kvetch, kvetch. One thing we like about the UFC, they are always finding new
ways to totally not surprise us. |
