Podcast: Given new bonus revelations, it’s time for commissions to make UFC salaries more transparent

01 Dec 2009 11:11:15 PST

Written by Zach Arnold
Perhaps like the first problem, commissions will probably ignore this one, too. And sooner rather than later, you may wonder when there will be enough outcry from fans and fighters for MMA to get its own version of The Ali Act like Congress passed in the States in 2000.

Brett Rogers Feels Ref Stopped Bout Too Early, Wants Alistair Overeem Next

30 Nov 2009 23:03:35 PST

Written by Charttopper
M-1: What’s next for you now? When do you expect to come back to Strikeforce? Are there any names thrown as your possible opponents? Who would you personally like to fight next? Brett Rogers: I want to fight soon, and I want to fight Alistar. I’m 100% healthy and took zero damage in the fight; so I’m ready to go right now. As I said Strikeforce is my home; I love Strikeforce and in my opinion Alistar holding the title belt is an insult to every fighter in this organization, every fan and to Scott Coker. Champions defend their titles. And either Scott strips him and real fighters battle for it; or I will take it off him the hard way.
