Already negotiating a contract renewal with SpikeTV, the UFC also had new offers coming in from CBS, Comcast, and another unique opportunity to overtake the G4 network and turn the channel into a 24/7 MMA network.

Then the UFC then received an out of the park offer from FOX.  A seven-year deal worth over $100 million annually. This includes four prime time, LIVE  event broadcasts per year on FOX, and great time slots for the hit TV show The Ultimate Fighter. on the network channel and Fox Sports channels.

Chael Sonnen is Talking Trash to Everyone (Video)

Posted by BISHOP on Jul 8, 2011 in Fight News | 0 comments

After UFC 132, the new king-of-the-trash-talk, Chael Sonnen is talking smack about everyone. Dissing PRIDE champs like Mirko “Cro Cop,” Wanderlei Silva and “Kid” Yamamoto, sharing his ideas that Fedor sucks, and calling Lyoto Machida a bum that trains in a bathrobe.

There’s a man you may have heard of called Randy Couture, and Machida took one of his teeth. And for that I’m going to take three of his. But, I’m not only willing to take on Machida just because of Randy, it’s also that easy fight thing. I’m trying to ease my way back into the pool so I’m calling out bums.

ESPN reports that Machida will fight Sonnen after ‘bathrobe’ remarks.

Jon Jones Would Love A Fight With Fedor Emelianenko

Posted by jmusc on May 2, 2011 in Fight News | 0 comments

“Oooh, Fedor that would be the fight that interests me the most, I admire Fedor a lot, and that would be a great gauge to see where I’m at in my career. As far as fighting Dan Henderson, I would love that fight, as well. I’m not trying to call them out but I would be honored to fight either one of them.”

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones tells USA today that his dream match-up is against none other than M-1 heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko. While the two basically reside under the same ZUFFA umbrella, this would be the definition of “Dream” match up as the two will very likely not ever square up inside a cage. However, should Dan Henderson be able to hold onto the Strikeforce belt and Jones the UFC the likely hood of a merger down the road between the Strikeforce and UFC Champs could come to fruition one day.
