PenUltimate Fighting Championship
So headquarters tells me that nothing on our site gets the hits that Ultimate Fighting does. There's something about watching two nearly naked men beating one another to a bloody pulp that just fascinates people. What in the name of Ken Shamrock is going on here?

LeBanner Free To Fight Wherever He Chooses
source: mmauniverse.com
Date submitted: 08 March 2007
Submitted by: MMA Universe
Jerome Le Banner has renewed a contract with the K-1 organisation that will ensure he competes on the world’s most prominent Kickboxing circuit for another four years.
However, bending to Le Banner’s wishes of being able to try his hand in other fields, the new K-1 contract is non-exclusive. According to a Team Le Banner representative, the exclusive nature of his last contract “made our relationship difficult with K-1 in the past.”
This has opened up many new avenues, as Le Banner is not restricted to only fighting on K-1 and it’s MMA branch Hero’s. Le Banner will now be allowed to take MMA fights at Elite XC (where LeBanner likes the ground rules), Bodog who have reportedly been chasing him with a big cheque for a while and the UFC, where he would like to face the likes of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and Tim Sylvia.
However LeBanner is unlikely to get to fight in the UFC, as they demand an exclusive contract, something LeBanner is not willing to sign again any time soon.
Fight of a lifetime
Anything is possible.
That's what Nate Quarry believes.
But his mind wasn't always so big, so able to grasp the larger complexities in life that he sees today. Because life, it's often dictated by those around us.

Liddell's Trainer On Disaster In Dallas
Late last week, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell appeared on a talk show called Good Morning Texas as part of his tour promoting the movie "300." But it wasn’t the movie or Chuck’s fighter status that got the attention; it was Liddell's slurred speech and the fact that he almost fell asleep during the interview.

Tim Sylvia, the anti-champ
I doubt he agrees with me, but I think this is a good loss for Sylvia. In terms of popularity, he has nowhere to go but up.
