Included in this investment group is WWE's Vince McMahon who will now own a minority stake in the company. They also have plans on taking the company public by years end. At the press conference also expect Dana to announce that with the help of McMahon, who has extensive connections in the New York State Athletic Commission, they were able to get the UFC sanctioned in New York, and plan on having a show sometime in the winter at Madison Square Garden. That is all I have right now. from a sherdog post

Really...is he? If he is I did not know that. I do not think there is one openly queer fighter but there has got to be a few out there. They should come out of the cloet and challenge Cro Cop....I here he loves 'em. You do know with Bisping's speech it's his native English tounge not a lisp don't you? 2girls1cup,

He knows he cannot compete in the cage any better than a MMArtist would in the boxing ring. F Mayweather....he will require a ridiculous amount of money to do anything. Someone told me his deal with the WWE made him 20 million. I don't believe it or care to research it but I do know he wants/gets way too much money in general to do anything....even breath. I'd rather see Pavlik train for MMA if any boxer were to try and make the transition right now. Why all the talk about Mayweather?

If he really hurt his ankle ten days before the fight, he should have told it to the ufc, and request a catchweight contest. I think that extra 4 pounds really gave him a significant advantage. I'm not saying that otherwise Hughes would have won, no, I think Hughes would have lost anyway. But this way his win wasn't fair and square. And if you don't make weight, don't beg for a fucking title shot! And saying "I've been a good boy" pffff... Come on men! So IMO he DOES NOT deserve a title shot, but I'd like to see him against the LOSER of Fitch/GSP, and if he wins that AND makes weight than he can get one. PS: I'm not bashing on Alves, I think he is really talented and a good fighter, but the amount of BS that he was saying is completly unacceptable for me. Well, Alves really, really pissed me off.
