Calling all TUF guys: Spike TV and UFC recently announced an open casting call for the next installment of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) franchise at the The Omni Charlotte Hotel in Charlotte, NC, on Thursday, April 1. The tryouts will coincide with the UFC Fight Night 21 event held on Wednesday (March 31). Lightweight (155 pounds) and light [...] This month’s UFC 111 event in Newark, N.J., is already a sellout. That’s the word from UFC president Dana White, who posted the news on his Twitter account this afternoon. UFC 111 takes place March 27 at the Prudential Center with two two pay-per-view title fights: UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre vs. top contender Dan Hardy and [...] Looks like the fantasy matchmakers who pegged Kimbo Slice as the UFC’s first opponent for recently-signed pugilist James Toney will be heading back to the drawing boards. Spike TV/CBS ratings monster Kevin Ferguson (4-1) is going to put his drawing power to the test when he makes his pay-per-view debut opposite fellow Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 [...] “Another battle and another Lyoto. Everything is new, the focus, the strategy … it’s my big dream. I’ll concentrate and go and fight with even more desire.

Now White appears to be [...] Former Ultimate Fighters Stephan Bonnar (11-7) and Krzysztof Soszynski (19-9-1) will likely get a chance to settle some unfinished business when the two light heavyweights collide in a rematch at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 11 Finale, which is scheduled for June 19 in Las Vegas. Nothing is official at this time; however, MMAmania.com has learned from [...] “To be 100 percent honest with you, all [expletive] aside, I haven’t thought it out. I like James Toney. He’s one of the greatest boxers ever. I have tremendous respect for him. He said he wanted to fight in the UFC and I was interested. Now he’s here and I have to figure out what [...] James Toney may be a big mouth but he’s one smart dude. The IBA heavyweight champ put out the bait and he just hooked a big fish in the UFC. The 41-year-old boxer, whose paydays have dried up in the ring, has signed a deal with world’s biggest mixed martial arts promotion. Toney began to lay [...] |
