There’s Going to Be a New Fight News Show… or Something… the Press Release is Confusing

A show I was told will be airing on Canada’s The Fight Network is set to start production and stream on the internet in July. I think. I’m not sure if whoever wrote this press release is foreign and doesn’t have the best grasp to write the English language or if he’s a product of […]

A show I was told will be airing on Canada’s The Fight Network is set to start production and stream on the internet in July. I think. I’m not sure if whoever wrote this press release is foreign and doesn’t have the best grasp to write the English language or if he’s a product of the American public school system which has continued to suffer financial cut backs in these trying economical times. I don’t know. You help me out. Take a look at the release below:

Newly formed seg Santoro entertainment group is scheduled to make thier presence felt in North American MMA, in 2011. They have teamed up with three internet marketing companies to combined there effort. They are all teamed up under one banner now ,Santoro Entertainment Group, spear heading operations for the organization is Pasqualino Santoro who you will recall was the promoter who took alone stand against the ABC American boxing and wrestling commission, better yet, Tim Lukenoff, president of the ABC. Through our understanding ABC tried to flex his muscle on Mr. Santoro show Colloseo championship fighting 5 resurrection to the ABC disappointment the show went off without a hitch, and no fighters where injured using Japanese dream rules.
After taking a little more then a year off, he has made this announcement since colloseo championship fighting cannot get a TV deal we will just make are own internet channel to broadcast our fights for free and it steamrolled into a whole new area for us and grew and we are where we are at now.
Through the partnership of a internet streaming company we have access to the fans of the sport we have never had. They are guiding us in a whole new direction. Hel,l who would want to buy a HD PPV or have to order a channel just to see one or two shows? We have developed a weekly news program that will start airing in July. Anchoring the news show will be Amy Hayes .

As noted in the release, Amy Hayes will be hosting the show and judging by the picture above, she looks like a very good host. The press release went on to say:

The program will start airing in June.

And that’s weird since it said in the first section that it would air in July. But we don’t care about semantics ’cause we read this part and decided these guys are geniuses.

We asked about having female news correspondence. They can handle there own, he said, just like the fighters make the promotion, the product these correspondence make are show in the fight game. Who wants to see a male news correspondent?

We at Fix welcome this new show (whatever it’s called). Did the press release give it a name? And now… [as expected from us] pictures of Amy Hayes and her co-anchor on this show, Stephanie Lee.

UFC officials have made an upcoming light heavyweight bout between “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz (15-8-1) and Ryan “Darth” Bader (12-1) official for July’s UFC 132 event in Las Vegas.

UFC 132 is expected to take place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Already confirmed for the event are bouts between B.J. Penn vs. Jon Fitch who meet in a back-to-back rematch, Melvin Guillard vs. Shane Roller, George Sotiropoulos vs. Evan Dunham, and Dennis Siver vs. Matt Wiman.

The official announcement was posted on UFC.com.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, who pulled out of his March 26th headlining bout against Rogerio Nogueria due to injury, has recovered and is back in fighting shape. “This MMA legend will meet top UFC contender Ryan Bader at UFC 132,” said UFC president Dana White, confirming that Ortiz and Bader have verbally agreed to a July bout. Bader is looking to rebound from a loss to newly crowned champ Jon Jones at UFC 126.

Keith Jardine Points to Jon Jones for Rift at Jackson’s

The process of mining anyone who’s been a training partner of Jon Jones and Rashad Evans for their opinion on the former teammates budding feud, has begun full swing. It’s a ‘hot button issue’ right now, and of course, we’re totally on board (until extremely odd Youtube videos surface from either dude, or they begin […]

The process of mining anyone who’s been a training partner of Jon Jones and Rashad Evans for their opinion on the former teammates budding feud, has begun full swing. It’s a ‘hot button issue’ right now, and of course, we’re totally on board (until extremely odd Youtube videos surface from either dude, or they begin using a catchword like ‘winning’, which quickly saturates every medium known to man).

One of the pivotal players in the Jackson Team’s success has been Keith Jardine, who long before Jones became a member, was working his way up the UFC rankings alongside Evans. In fact, Jardine and Evans were two of the first notable competitors to annoy Dana White by saying they wouldn’t fight each other. Well, in an interview with ESPN, Jardine was quick to compliment Rashad for what he did for the Jackson Team, and pointed to that now ‘infamous’ interview Jones had with Ariel Helwani, for the sh-tstorm that is now unfolding.

“It all started from that interview that Jon did, talking about the possibility of fighting with Rashad [with Ariel Helwani on Versus],” Jardine said. “That’s just something that doesn’t need to be said. Of course they could have been made to fight, and they both knew it. But for Jon to go out and say that made Rashad look like a punk, and that’s kind of what happened to start it all. It was already sensitive, so it blew up after that.”

Jardine qualified that comment by saying “Jon’s just a kid,” and that the new champ probably “regretted” what he had said to Helwani afterwards. Perhaps…perhaps not (cue sinister music). Plenty more to come on this no doubt.

Tito Ortiz vs. Ryan Bader Set for UFC 132

So it’s looking like Tito Ortiz will look to score his first win since 2006, against yet another powerful wrestler in Ryan Bader, July 2nd at UFC 132. You may recall how Tito did against an opponent with similar qualities last time out, namely Matt Hamill….yeah, not so well. MMA Weekly is reporting that the […]

You may recall how Tito did against an opponent with similar qualities last time out, namely Matt Hamill….yeah, not so well. MMA Weekly is reporting that the bout is a done deal.

At any rate, Ortiz and Bader have been at it on Twitter, and as you see, Tito’s up for the fight.

@ryanbader want some? You will get some. Let’s go!!!!!

Should be interesting.

Rashad Evans Blasts Jon Jones, Feels Disrespected

After Jon Jones finished rag dolling “Shogun” Rua Saturday night, his former training partner Rashad Evans came into the Octagon to confirm they would be fighting next. It was a wee bit awkward, yes, but nothing too heated went down. In fact, if you were hoping for some ‘why you doing this to us man?’ type […]

After Jon Jones finished rag dolling “Shogun” Rua Saturday night, his former training partner Rashad Evans came into the Octagon to confirm they would be fighting next. It was a wee bit awkward, yes, but nothing too heated went down. In fact, if you were hoping for some ‘why you doing this to us man?’ type drama, the whole bit kind of fell flat. Well, the next time Mr. Jones and Mr. Evans meet, things might not be so ‘civil.’

Bloody Elbow has posted an interview today with Evans, where the former champ didn’t exactly hold anything back, while discussing his now former coach Greg Jackson and of course Jones. In addition to voicing his displeasure with his long time mentor Jackson, for letting things get to this point, here is just some of what Evans had to say about his next opponent.

I feel disrespected by Jon because when I think about when we trained or when we were chilling, was the s**t even real? Or was he just trying to be a master manipulator and try to manipulate the situation so he could get what he wanted out of it? I don’t know and that is a question that I have in my mind but when I get down to it…that doesn’t even matter because we are going to get in there and we are going to fight. People want to say “oh my God Jon is this and that” but Jon Jones is Jon Jones to me. He’s another fighter I have to face.

Yup, sh-t’s getting real son. The whole interview, references to Judas and all, is definitely worth a read.
