The first and only major MMA promotion to utilize a team concept has canceled an event scheduled for August 15, and issued the following press release, which you'll see is littered with doom and gloom ...
Thiago Alves made three things abundantly clear on Saturday, after he stopped Matt Hughes via second round TKO in London, England in their catchweight main event at UFC 85.

Noted MMA columnist and complete UFC shill Kevin Iole

of bankers.
Apparently it was not until after the column was published
that Iole learned Alves’ family owns a bakery in Brazil.
They are BAKERS not BANKERS.
