USA WEST BACK IN ACTION TONIGHT ON HDNET

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --

Amsterdam, Holland - Considered by many M-1 Challenge (www.M-1Global.com) insiders to be the team to beat for the championship in 2009, Team USA West is slated to return to the airwaves on Friday at 8 p.m. ET on HDNet.

Led by undefeated prospects Shane Del Rosario and Dave Jansen, USA West will be put to the test when it faces South Korea in Tokyo, Japan at Differ Ariake. The five-man American squad will look to preserve its perfect record as it prepares for its post-season debut in the fall.

Jansen, a product of Matt Lindland's Team Quest, will put his perfect 10-0 record on the line when he faces Ui Cheol Nam, 8-1. The former college wrestling standout Jansen made his M-1 Challenge debut when USA West opened its season this past February in Tacoma, Wash.

Fighting on short notice against former Rio Heroes standout Flavio Alvaro of Brazil after having competed just 2 1/2 weeks prior, Jansen improved to 10-0 after recording a hard-fought unanimous decision. With non-M-1 wins over the likes of BodogFIGHT veteran Matt Lee and Xtreme Couture coach Dennis Davis, Friday night's fight vs. Nam on HDNet represents his greatest challenge to date.

After missing the ‘09 opener in Tacoma due to injury, Del Rosario will be making his formal M-1 Challenge debut when he takes on Korean heavyweight Dool Hee Lee. A former high school basketball standout, Del Rosario first received national television exposure on Showtime while competing for the now-defunct EliteXC promotion. Del Rosario, 5-0, has never had a fight go to a decision and has recorded first round finishes in four of his five fights.

Joining Del Rosario on the USA West roster is fellow former EliteXC alum, middleweight Giva Santana, 11-1. Santana, a former member of the Brazilian armed forces, earned his nickname as a result of winning 10 of his 11 victories by armbar submission. He will look to take yet another arm home back to Team Oyama in Orange County, Calif. when he faces Min Suk Heo.

In addition to Del Rosario, Jansen, and Santana, U.S. viewers will also get to see former IFL veteran Raphael Davis (5-1) and former Affliction welterweight Fabio "Negao" Nascimento (9-4) in action this Friday at 8 p.m. ET.

Davis will battle Jae Young Kim, who is coming off the biggest upset in M-1 history following his second round TKO victory over Mikhail Zayats this past February, while Negao will face Myeon Ho Bae in a contest that could challenge for "Fight of the Night" honors.

UFC® IS HEADED BACK TO OKLAHOMA

For Immediate Release:
July 8, 2009

DIAZ VS GUILLARD / MAYNARD VS HUERTA TO HEADLINE UFC® FIGHT NIGHT™

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2009

LIVE FROM COX ARENA IN OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA

Tickets on Sale Saturday, July 11 at 10 a.m. CT

Las Vegas, NV (USA) – For the first time in 15 years, the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) is on its way back to Oklahoma. Not since UFC 4 saw the legendary Royce Gracie defeat fellow Hall of Famer Dan Severn in 1994 has the world’s greatest mixed martial arts organization put on a show in the Sooner State, and now the premier athletes in the sport will be featured in a nationally televised UFC® Fight Night™ event live on Spike TV Wednesday, September 16 at 8:00p.m. CT from the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City.

Headlining this event will be a lightweight doubleheader that is guaranteed to shake up the 155-pound weight class. In the main event, The Ultimate Fighter season five winner Nate Diaz will square off against Louisiana knockout artist Melvin Guillard, while the highly-anticipated co-feature sees the return of Roger “El Matador” Huerta against unbeaten contender Gray “The Bully” Maynard.

“This is a monumental event for both our facility and our community,” said Gary Desjardins, General Manager of the Cox Convention Center. “The amount of excitement and energy surrounding this UFC event is astounding and we are honored to host it at the Cox Convention Center.”

Tickets for this event will go on sale Saturday, July 11 at 10 a.m. CT and will be priced at $200, $125, $95, $75, $50 and $35. Tickets are available at the U.S. Army Box Office at Ford Center and all Ticketmaster outlets including participating Suncoast, FYE and Homeland stores, charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000 or online at www.okfordcenter.com.

UFC® Fight Club™ members will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to this event Thursday, July 9 at 10 a.m. CT via the website ufc.com. A special Internet ticket pre-sale will be available to UFC newsletter subscribers Friday, July 10 starting at 10 a.m. CT. To access this presale, users must register for the UFC newsletter through ufc.com.

Coming off an exciting three-round battle against Joe Stevenson in June, Nate Diaz (fighting out of Stockton, Calif.) always puts on a show when it’s his turn to fight. The 24-year-old lightweight was the season five winner of The Ultimate Fighter® and already has five wins in the UFC, four via submission. But the Cesar Gracie trained Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt will need all of his skills when he faces the very dangerous striking of Melvin Guillard (fighting out of New Orleans, La.).

“Finally I’m fighting someone that’s not afraid to stand up with me,” Diaz said. “Melvin’s a tough guy and I know that he’ll want to stand and trade with me. I don’t think the fans want to see two guys holding each other.”

Winner of his last three fights, Guillard already has 41 professional mixed martial arts wins – and he’s only 26 years old. His knockout win over Dennis Siver was followed by an impressive split-decision victory against the seasoned Gleison Tibau in June. “The Young Assassin,” who is known for his lightning quick hand speed and damaging punching power, has five wins in the UFC with four coming by knockout.

“He’s a worthy and tough opponent,” Guillard said. “I am looking forward to a good match and finishing Diaz. We are on different paths but I know this will be a great fight for the UFC and the fans. It will be another big win for me in the Octagon.”

In the ultra-competitive UFC lightweight division, there are no easy matchups. But former three-time NCAA All-American Michigan State wrestler Gray Maynard (fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev.) has reeled off five consecutive wins in possibly the UFC’s toughest weight class. His unanimous decision win against up-and-coming star Jim Miller at UFC 96 has vaulted the Phoenix, Arizona native into the upper reaches of the division – and now the undefeated 30-year-old takes on his toughest test in Roger Huerta (fighting out of Minneapolis, Minnesota).

“El Matador” brings a 22-2-1, 1 NC professional mixed martial arts record to the Octagon™ as well as a fiery pace that is matched by very few fighters. Winner of six straight UFC fights before a classic three-round rumble against Kenny Florian in August 2008, the Los Angeles-born Huerta makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon and is in search of a title shot.

The remaining fights will be announced shortly.

Jerry Lawler Again Running For Mayor Of Memphis

Amid recent discussion of the possibility, Jerry Lawler has publicly confirmed his decision to reenter the political ring.

Lawler, if you remember, failed in a 1999 mayoral run, and is continuing to espouse the same rhetoric which didn't come close to getting him elected.

Still, since Lawler's always been a favorite wrestler of mine (and partially because I don't live anywhere near Memphis), I'd like to see him take the crown.

Good luck, Jerry!

UFC Tops List Of Sports Gaining Momentum In Canada

Source: Ipsos Reid -

TORONTO/ON/PRESS RELEASE--(July 8, 2009) - A recent study of the sports market in Canada found that two in ten Canadian adults (22%) are interested in the UFC, saying they are casual (16%) or avid (6%) fans of the sport. While the number of UFC fans is currently behind some mainstream sports, like Major League Baseball (38% of Canadian adults are fans), the UFC is gaining momentum and might soon approach the fan base of other sports such as NBA Basketball (26% of Canadian adults are fans). In fact, in terms of increasing interest among current fans, the UFC is ahead of all other sports surveyed.

The results are taken from Ipsos-Reid's Canadian Sports Monitor, which interviewed 2,000 Canadian adults in a comprehensive survey of the Canadian sports market.

The majority (73%) of UFC fans consider themselves to be "casual fans" - interested in occasional 'big events' - but many of them (39%) say their interest has increased in the past few years. The proportion of fans who are gaining interest is higher for the UFC than more than 30 other sports and sporting events surveyed, including Hockey and the Olympics.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the UFC is more appealing to younger Canadians, as well as males - roughly one-in-three Canadian males say they are at least casual fans of the sport. While the sport has fewer female followers, the UFC has made strides across both genders and interest is growing equally among men and women fans (among current fans of the UFC, 40% of men stated their level of interest increased, while 38% of women said the same).

The UFC leads a pack of sports and sporting events gaining interest among current fans. Other sports at the top of that list include:

Poker - 34% of fans are more interested than before
North American Soccer - 27% of fans are more interested than before
FIFA World Cup Soccer - 27% of fans are more interested than before

The above findings suggest that the sports landscape in Canada may be undergoing a shift, with several emerging sports and sporting events gaining interest, if not yet mainstream.

Sports that appear to be losing interest include:

Professional Wrestling - 36% of fans are less interested than before
Formula One Racing - 30% of fans are less interested than before
Boxing - 23% of fans are less interested than before

These are the findings of an Ipsos Reid poll conducted as part of Ipsos' Canadian Sports Monitor study. The poll was conducted from May 20 to May 29, 2009. This online survey of 2,000 Canadian adults was conducted via the Ipsos I-Say Online Panel, Ipsos Reid's national online panel. The results are based on a sample where quota sampling and weighting are employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample's composition reflects that of the actual Canadian population according to Census data. Quota samples with weighting from the Ipsos online panel provide results that are intended to approximate a probability sample. An unweighted probability sample of this size, with a 100% response rate, would have an estimated margin of error of +/- 2.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Note from Ric: Vince McMahon probably has no interest in the results of one lousy survey, assuming he'd even hear about them, but it's just another example of the clear message being sent to him. McMahon, though (as most pro-wrestling promoters tend to do), will almost assuredly continue on the same path, blissfully unaware.

FightMetric furnishes data that tracks the complete histories for the biggest stars in MMA, including all pre-UFC fights for iconic fighters such as Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva, and full career stats for non-UFC standouts such as Fedor Emelianenko and Shinya Aoki. The expanded database will serve as an authoritative source for a deeper analysis of the sport of MMA.

The FightMetric system analyzes MMA bouts across 67 statistical categories, encompassing all strikes, takedowns, submissions, and position changes.

In addition to bout statistics, FightMetric's database includes a wealth of supplementary information, including complete judges' scoring, referee assignments, and fighter reach data.

Update On Lavar Johnson

After a pair of surgeries, Lavar Johnson is still hospitalized in Bakersfield, California, where's he's listed in good condition.

Anthony Mack Johnson, who was killed in Sunday's shooting (where Lavar was struck in the abdomen), was actually Lavar's cousin, not brother. I apologize for the error.

Final Ratings For Last Week's Edition Of 'WWE Friday Night SmackDown'

According to Nielsen Media Research's data, the program drew a 1.6/3, and roughly two-million-six-hundred-ten-thousand viewers, numbers which sound awfully low.

How low? Beats me, I don't care enough to watch the show or track the trend.

Updated Lineup - 'WEC: Cerrone Vs. Henderson'

Picking up, where Casey left off, add, in a battle of bantamweights, Manny Tapia vs. Eddie Wineland.

Card subject to change.
