AUGUST MMA NEWS

Coach i will get back to u on this because im not so sure if there is a fee for signing up for showtime. I have gotten the fights and then cancelled and it was around 12 bucks a month. My brother does the cancelling so i have to ask him about the fee.
The last Strikeforce card was offered on comcsst here for @24.99(I think) for those that did not have Showtime.
Directv already has it on the site to order for $24.95 if you don't have Showtime so I am sure all carriers will offer that.

Thanks Guys!
May just be worth getting showtime through cable company, cant be that much. As long as Strike Force has fights every few months it's close to the same as buying a PPV.
Thanks again

Maybe it is a Pennsy thing Jr11. I recall direct Tv charging 12 bucks. Just did it last strikeforce card. JUst don't remember if there was a fee to hook it up.
Yet more Fedor news:
http://mmajunkie.com/news/15746/m-1...r-emelianenko-is-not-dodging-brock-lesnar.mma
Some interesting comments and some obvious ones:
"One minute Dana's saying, 'Fedor is irrelevant; [expletive] him,' and then the next day he's like, 'Oh, he's the greatest fighter in the world, I want him,'" Millen said. "Now he's back to, 'This guy sucks.' So he can't make his mind up. You see what I'm saying? If he doesn't get his way, it's either his way or no way. That's what it boils down to. [M-1 Global] just wants to work somewhere where it's fair."
Typical Dana mouth making issues more cloudy than they need to b.
And if mixed martial arts (and UFC) fans hope to see Emelianenko in the world's biggest MMA promotion, Millen suggests they use a bit of the same tactics that motivated White to substitute Vitor Belfort for Dan Henderson in the main event for September's UFC 103.
"If the fans want to see a Brock Lesnar fight, hey, all they have to do is keep pressure on Dana," Millen said. "Do a co-promotion. They do it in boxing every day.
"We feel we have the best fighter in the world. You feel you have the best fighter in the world. Let's throw them in the cage, and let's see who the best fighter is."
Not so sure any of this is true as a one fight co promotion would make sense if no deal can be made.
Dana wouldn't do it because he knows Brock would lose.

Sad day? What in the hell are you talking about Kick? Did you see that new girl? I think it's a great day and we need new blood here and there.
Don't worry Strikeforce will sign her.
Dana continues his childish attacks on anyone who wants to make MMA better without involving UFC.
http://mmajunkie.com/news/15749/ufc...s-insults-takes-aim-at-rival-strike-farce.mma
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUYS DEAL??????:shrug:
Freakin' grow up.
This line is ridiculous:
"He'll put them out of business," White said of Emelianenko. "They have no money. They have no money, and they have no distribution. Four [expletive] people watch Showtime."
I have some news for Dana, when UFC is not airing on Spike then like 2 people watch it and it is on basic cable.
TUF ratings were terrible as was the show itself this past season.
I will hand it to him that calling it Strike-Farce was pretty funny. I wonder who told him to say that.
If Dana keeps bringing in old fighters past their prime like Nog,Tito,Randy then it will soon be known as :
Useless
Fighters
Coming
New UFC Ring Girl pics:

She is clearly going to be passed around the fighters. This looks like the kind of girl you don't take home to mama.
She was the winner of the UFC Ring Girl Search although I prefer #27.

I forgot about his somewhat recent addition of Mark Coleman on this list and Frank Trigg.
Now you can add Frank Shamrock.:mj07:

A quote from a guy on that site Keg
Gentlemen,
I think you?re missing the point here. MMA fighters are severely underpaid. A bout between Anderson Silva and Roy Jones Jr. would still draw enough pay per view purchases where Anderson Silva would make more money ?boxing? than he ever could in the UFC. This whole Fedor fiasco is drawing a lot of interest towards the money MMA fighters are making vs. what the UFC is making. Oscar De La Hoya made $50,000,000 vs. Mayweather?s $30,000,000 in their last fight against each other. As an MMA fan I can tell you I didn?t even watch that fight because I could care less about boxing. When you consider a match between Fedor and Lesnar you have to consider the UFC might do over $100,000,000 dollars on pay per views and over $5,000,000 at the arena, yet the Fedor and Lesnar would be lucky to split a million dollars. Anything these fighters can do to earn more money is desperately warranted.
Brock Lesnar made less than half a million dollars for his last match and Frank Mir made only $45,000 for their last rematch at UFC 100. The total payout that night for the UFC was less than 1.8 million dollars, yet they took in over $5 millioon at the arena from ticket sales alone and another $87 million from pay per view. That?s total B.S. that the UFC is making all that money and paying the fighters so little. They claim they want to be a major sport like the NFL, MLB and NBA, well the players unions in all three leagues make at least a 50% split on total revenue with the owners. The UFC is paying out less than 5%. It?s criminal. No one is paying to see Dana White or the Fertitta brothers get in the cage to fight. I want them to make money but they?ve got to treat their fighters better by paying them more money. If Randy Couture sits out a year and calls them liars you know that some shady bullstuff is going on with the money.
i can just picture dana laughing all the way to the bank..yet another reason why it`s a bad idea for the ufc to monopolize mma...when you have no other choices(i.e. singlepayer government healthcare
), you`re f-cked...
