With the UFC’s recent deal with Fox, MMA is well on its way to becoming more mainstream.
Now that the fighters will be more in the public eye, some of them may become quite popular. In fact, some may even get offered guest spots on TV shows.
In the past, fighters like Bas Rutten and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson have appeared on The King of Queens, but what other fighters could show up in your favorite TV show?

When Chris Lytle announced that he would be retiring after his submission win over Dan Hardy at UFC Live: Hardy vs. Lytle on August 14, he made mention that a future in politics was something that might be in the cards for him. Apparently the longtime Indianapolis firefighter was serious about the aspiration as he announced during a press conference earlier today that he will indeed be running for a seat in Indiana’s House of Representatives for District 28.

“Lights Out” posted the following on mixedmartialarts.com’s Underground forum:
“I’ve decided that I can no longer let our government run with the same attitude that it has been for years. Our politicans worry about themselves more than the people they represent. That needs to change. Therefore, I’m running for state senate in Indiana.
I know times are tough, but I would greatly appreciate campaign donations through my website LytleforIndiana.com,” Lytle wrote. ”I don’t care if it’s $10, $20, or $50. It all helps. I’m running against someone who has been in there for 23 years and is well funded. Once again thanks and please watch how I start fighting in a new way.”
Elections to the United States Senate are scheduled for November 6, 2012. If Lytle’s bid for a Senate seat is successful, he will serve a six-year term from January 3, 2013 until January 3, 2019.

Over the course of this summer, UFC fans have witnessed some of the greatest fights known to man. We have seen spectacular TKOs, submissions and decisions. We have seen fighters make names for themselves, while others have fallen off the charts.
Because of these athletes’ exceptional performances, the UFC continues to become the world’s fastest growing sport. While we have seen a countless number of great fights, there were some that stood above the rest.
The following is a power ranking of the five best UFC fights of this summer. Sit back and enjoy.
They must be joking, but seriously driving home a point.Them Georges St-Pierre bashers who’ll grab every opportunity to smite on GSP and what they think he stands for now in MMA: decision wins, lay and pray, fighting safely and just plain boredom….
They must be joking, but seriously driving home a point.
Them Georges St-Pierre bashers who’ll grab every opportunity to smite on GSP and what they think he stands for now in MMA: decision wins, lay and pray, fighting safely and just plain boredom.
But they shouldn’t exploit Chris Lytle’s guillotine choke win over Dan Hardy to advance their cause; that’s getting way too far ahead of themselves.
There’s such a concept called “case-to-case basis.”
Did Hardy have the temerity to attempt a double-leg takedown against GSP and consequently expose his neck for a “guillo?” No.
It is regrettable that GSP played with Hardy like a cat to a mouse, letting his prey last the whole five rounds as his idea of fun.
Or just another daily workout routine.
So what does Tito Ortiz submitting Ryan Bader in the first round—while Jon Jones did it to the latter only in the second round—really mean?
Or that of Nate Marquardt’s KO of Demian Maia whereas Anderson Silva danced away from the submission specialist into a decision win?
I’m not sure exactly, but I believe their meaning lies somewhere between “not much” and “nothing at all.”

Care for some recent stats on UFC’s finished fights and those that went the distance?
Of the main card fights of the last three UFC events, namely 132, 133 and Live 5, nine ended by stoppage compared to five that went the distance and into the judges’ scorecards.
And of the three main main events (not “co-main events”), two ended by finishes: UFC 133’s Rashad Evans’ TKO over Tito Ortiz and UFC Live 5’s Chris Lytle’s guillotine choke against Dan Hardy.
Finished fights are in the majority lately!
If we are to include all the preliminary fights of the last three UFC events, it’s an even-steven at 17-all. But isn’t it gratifying to note that finishes happened where it mattered more? In the main cards where the stakes are higher and the hype is stronger?
Here’s an honor roll of the finishers of the main cards of each of the last three events, the fighters who spared us fans the agony of hearing from the judges.

The numbers are below; keep in mind that they don’t include additional income from sponsorships and undisclosed “locker room” bonuses, or deductions for taxes, insurance, and licensing fees.
Chris Lytle: $200,000 (includes $35,000 win bonus, $65,000 Fight of the Night bonus, $65,000 Submission of the Night bonus)

def. Danny Castillo: $17,000
Edwin Figueroa: $12,000 (includes $6,000 win bonus)
def. Jason Reinhardt: $6,000
Underpaid: Based on level of difficulty, Ed Herman probably should have won the $65,000 Submission of the Night bonus for his first-round heel-hook submission of Kyle Noke. Instead, Dan Hardy dives directly into a guillotine choke, and Chris Lytle walks off with another bonus. Times have been tough for Short Fuse due to his long injury layoff last year, and I’m sure the extra cash would have been nice.
Overpaid: Lets just say that Jason Reinhardt is leaving the UFC with six grand that he didn’t earn. Good riddance, Steve Carell-on-meth.
