"Whether you love him or hate him, Tito is a very skilled fighter. He has a very well rounded game, but his strength is certainly his ability to put you on the floor and keep you there while he lands a barrage of punches and elbows. His submission game is underrated. He spends a lot of time with submission guru Dean Lister and it shows. He hasn't relied on it much in his fights, but the ...

Fronted by Luke Thomas. I, too, am a huge fan of Big O & Dukes and believe any major talk radio show that covers MMA as enthusiastically as they do deserves attention.
This dude is awesome as hell. This had to be the greatest radio interview I have ever heard in my life. You can check it out at this link ( mp3 for the interview here ). Check out a few other podacasts of BOAD while ...

ESPN's Franklin McNeil (grrooooaaannnn) has talked to both Florian and Edgar. Both, it seems, believe they need a fight with each other to earn a shot at BJ Penn's title. Notable quote :
"Like Kenny, I want to fight the best in my division and right now he might be the No. 1 contender. So, fighting him is kind of a no-brainer. I want to get one [fight] in before the year is out. I would ...

Barry Bonds is desperate to get back on the baseball field. So much so that his $15-18 million asking price is now down to the major league minimum. His agent Jeff Borris told Ryen Russillo of ESPNRadio that Bonds would play this year for the minimum salary. Borris said, "What other option does he have?"
Is fighter Tito Ortiz going to face a ...

MMA Weekly is reporting:
According to EliteXC vice president Jared Shaw, the promotion has tried to make the fight happen and wants it to happen as part of the Oct. 4 event, but to no avail. “Nick Diaz is the No. 1 contender.

Pro Elite filed its quarterly repor t, and it is not pretty. There is a ton of information in the report, and I haven't read the entire thing, but here are the key issues.
They are actively seeking financing: The only word that can really describe their financial situation is "desparate." They need $3 million in financing, and that is just to get to the end of the ...

I can scarcely fathom a scenario where this can happen. EliteXC wasn't even able to host a successful sophomore effort on free television. To think they can cajole casual MMA fans who view EliteXC and Kimbo Slice more with curiosity than fan loyalty to then shell out money in lieu of or in addition to what they currently spend on the UFC (that includes both time and money) or other sports ...
