Fabricio Werdum defeated Aleksander Emelianenko at Holland's 2Hot2Handle show with a shoulder triangle. Thus ends the contract of Aleks with Pride FC. He has been speaking with the UFC on a possible contract. Given his high marketability and notoriety, I believe a UFC appearance is a high probability even with the loss.
The first season of Bodog Fight has ended and no one seemed to notice. For those interested, Bodog Fight will air its first PPV December 2nd with Roger Gracie making his MMA debut against veteran Ron "H20" Waterman. I don't know how much the PPV will cost, but anything over $5.00 seems too high.
Showtime, known for its boxing in recent years, will jump into the MMA game in February of 2007. The cable giant made it official though no known talent has been mentioned as of yet.
The WFA's second show scheduled for December 9th, has been abruptly cancelled. No reason was given but they will try to put their USA vs Brazil card together again in early 2007.
Strikeforce returns December 8th with Cung Lee taking on Jason Von Flue, as well as Josh Thompson vs Nam Phan, Bobby Southworth vs Vernon White for the new Light Heavyweight title (what a stellar bout that will be), and the 4th fight for former WWE star, Daniel Puder. Shaping up to be a real average, at best, card.
The IFL has named Ken Shamrock and Ian Freeman the two newest coaches in their league. Ken will coach the California Lions while Ian will lead the British Bulldogs. Yes, those are seriously the team names.
In a final bit of hilarity, Tito Ortiz had an invitation withdrawn to be "guest of honor" at an upcoming US Marine Corps ball. The retraction occurred when the Marines found out that Ortiz would be bringing human cum dumpster, and porn star, Jenna Jameson. This had to be a bit embarrassing for the couple, though probably not as embarrassing as having a gang banging, baloney draped, whore of a slut, for your mate. :) or perhaps:0
