Bodog in Canada! UFC in Canada!

August 27th, 2009admin

As of right now, Canadians can now play on Bodog Since Calvin Ayre has retired from the gambling side, Bodog has opened up its doors to Canadians.  You can bet on sports, bet on mma at Bodog.ca, play poker, play at the bodog casino.

Check out the great odds at Bodog

Also in other Canadian news, UFC will be coming to Vancouver British Columbia! A tentative date of June 2010 has been set with the venue being GM Place (capacity 19,000). So it probably wont be breaking any Montreal’s records yet. Note that the Vancouver Athletics Comission still have to approve mixed martial arts first, but Dana White is confident this will get done. Hopefully UFC in Ontario next!!!

The iceman can dance?

August 17th, 2009admin

Some weird mma news recently.

Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell will be a participant of Dancing with the Stars.  Please say it aint so Chuck.

Victoria formerly from the WWE will be training for mma.  Trying to follow in the foot steps of Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley.  And to somewhat of a degree Kurt Angle, who by the way was caught with HGH (Human Growth Hormone) on the weekend.

Weird mma weekend

MMA Event & Fight Cancellations

July 24th, 2009admin

Wow, so many fight cancellations recently, and now the whole Affiliction Trilogy on Aug 1 has been cancelled!

After Josh “babyface assassin” Barnett screwed everybody else by testing postive by steroids, it set off a whole wave of potential fighting partners for Fedor Emilianko.  But the list of who could fight: Vitor Belfort, Jeff Monson, Tank Abbott … who really cares, that aint a main event.

Now the next Strikeforce event is in trouble.

Joe Riggs vs Nick Diaz is now cancelled.  Jay Hieron will be replacing Joe Riggs.  This follows the earlier cancellation of the Alistair Overeem vs Fabricio Werdum fightfight.  Also reports have it that Josh Thompson hasn’t fully recovered from his injuries and his rematch with Gilbert Melendez is in question.  Hopefully one of Gina Carano or Cyborg Santos doesn’t get injured.

Forget Hong Man Choi – Shaq wants Lesnar!

July 16th, 2009admin

I guess Shaq just wants to go straight to the best and fight Brock Lesnar.  As posted by Dana White on his blog

“Shaq texts and Twitters me all the time saying he wants to fight Brock Lesnar. He’s been training for 10 years; Shaq’s probably the only dude in the NBA that can actually fight … I told Shaq, I said listen, ‘Win another NBA championship this year and then we’ll talk next year.’”

Maybe if Shaq loses this fight he can pull a Lebron and have the videos pulled!

Shaq vs Hong Man Choi?

June 17th, 2009admin

After watching Jose Canseco give a valiant effort in his mma match versus Korean giant Hong Man Choi, Shaquille “Shaq” O’Neal has issued his own video challenge.  See the video here

Shaq might be just trying to be his funny self and jokingly promoting this fight, but a Shaq vs Hong Man Choi fight would be interesting!  Stay tuned..  and maybe Shaq will be able to ask Hong Man Choi “How does my ass taste?”
