This weekend was caulk full of MMA, offering up multiple high-profile events taking place on both Friday and Saturday. The UFC, Bellator, ONE FC and Invicta FC all held event this weekend, but so did UCMMA, CES MMA and Superior Challenge.
A new MMA reality series produced by James Jefferson and directed by Hollywood veteran Ben Perry called “Warrior Island” is looking to make waves by putting 16 elite fighters on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The reality series, which begins filming on location Feb. 1 of 2013, is being produced by Global Proving Ground who have partnered with former Cage Rage Presenter and current UCMMA Promoter Dave O’Donnell. Each week, the fighters will battle one another to stay on the island and compete for international stardom, as well as a half a million dollar grand prize.
The “Kings of Fight Music” (Coalition Fight Music) are back with their unique brand of “Urban Dubstep” as they’ve created the official UCMMA theme. The track for Europe’s leading promotion is called “Ultimate Challenge” and will be available for download at amazon.com on September 8th.
The MMA world was flipped onto its head this past week when UFC President Dana White made the announcement that UFC 151 had been cancelled. With Dan Henderson injured and Jon Jones taking his ball and going home the UFC made the tough and historic decision to can the PPV fight card.
There is always something going on these days in the world on MMA and the links from this week’s Independent MMA Link club reflect just that. From women’s MMA to the Olympics or Saturday’s UFC 150, the links below will have you covered.
It’s the hottest day of the year so far and the temperature has gone through the roof here at the Troxy (and we’re not just talking about the Cage Girls) as fight fans prepare for the UCMMA 28 main event. Before that though, there is the small matter of an impressive undercard to get through.
After looking down the fight card, it’s hard to know where to start with previewing this weekend’s UCMMA 28 event at The Troxy in London with such the quality of the both the main and undercard.
UCMMA returns for its next event at London’s Troxy Arena this weekend as nations collide with the UK taking on the USA as “Big” Ben Smith is challenged by New Yorker, Neil “King Kong” Bittong for one step closer to the Light-Heavyweight title. Fight fans can also expect more fireworks when Middleweight K1 champion Louis “KO” King once again looks to take another title as he takes on kickboxer AJ Woodhall for the vacant Light Heavyweight K1 title.
