Preliminary CBS ratings for Strikeforce: ‘Fedor vs Rogers’ averages 3.79 million viewers

08 Nov 2009 21:41:21 PST

Written by Jesse Holland
Considering this card was promoted exclusively around the main event between Brett Rogers and Fedor Emelianenko, it’s not unreasonable to think these numbers could spike for the main event, effectively raising the overall totals like it did for the previous CBS/MMA offering by Elite...

Opinion: Creature vs Creature: Pathetic Tito Begs the Iceman for a Third Beatdown

06 Nov 2009 07:00:14 PST

Written by James Ryan
Here’s what I remember from Ortiz vs Shamrock 3 in 2006. A much older, punch-drunk Shamrock lost with enormous class. A younger Tito won without any. Tito Ortiz, in my less than humble opinion, is a pathetic loser who has embroiled himself in a win-win situation by calling out Chuck Liddel...

Opinion: The Long-Term Kimbo Game

02 Nov 2009 21:09:32 PST

Written by TLow
The more I think about it, the more I can’t see the long term logic in the UFC’s pursuing Kimbo Slice. The short-term benefit is pretty obvious. This season of TUF has enjoyed some great ratings. That means Spike can command a higher price for advertising slots, and it gives Dana White a large a...
