| Description: | There’s been plenty of news on the UFC 100 front, although most of it is trivial bits designed to hype the fight. The UFC announced that a former "Girl Next Door" will be an honorary Octagon girl at the fight. UFC president Dana White also announced that Chuck Liddell and Charles “Mask” Lewis from TapouT will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame at the UFC 100 Fan Expo. Both worthy additions. The Bleacher Report is in the process of breaking down the top 100 MMA fights. Kevin Iole at Yahoo has an excellent piece full of great MMA memories from fighters and fans. Mine was definitely UFC 68 (a popular choice). Being an Ohio guy, the crowd was electric and this was the first event I covered as a journalist (although not the first event I’d seen). The energy before, during and after Ohio’s first UFC event was something I’ll never forget. Just a great night. Anyone else have favorite memories that weren’t listed in the Iole piece? Dan Wetzel at Yahoo had a good read about Dana White late last week The Canadian Press’s Neil Davidson has a good read on White as well SI.com’s Josh Gross with the report that Liddell is going to take at least a year off from fighting Gross also has an interesting read on the business controversies brewing near UFC 100. |
