		<description>yeah B i knew about the first nations thing, as you know ive been trying to put together my own MMA promotion (very small, i plan on making no profit what-so-ever) and i intended at first to do it at the Oneida reservation. there has been a few out there in the past, but now with the boost in popularity it seems the whistle blowers are buzzing even more then the fans and all my plans are being squashed over and over. i am still going to put something together and as much as i dont want to get into any trouble i am expecting some heat over it, as long as i can do my part to get it legal in Ontario im ok with it. i just want someday for it to be alright for my sons to compete in there home province.</description>

		<description>MAD your first comment was on 12/05/2006:

What's up!!
  This my first time commenting on this site. I'd just like to say I hope Crocop does get a contract with the UFC. He will take over the Heavyweight division and force Dana to bring in more top ranked competition. I'm also a fan of both Pride and UFC but tend to watch UFC because it is more accessable than Pride is in the states. I like that the UFC is putting on free show every coule of months in the form of the Ultimate fight nights. Since Pride lost it's TV contract they are not getting the exposure they once were. The New years events for Pride and the UFC should be great. The Tito and Chuck fight is a little over hyped considering they already fought and Tito didn't give much of an account of himself. If and that's a big IF he can get Chuck to the ground and keep him there he has a good chance of utilizing his signiture ground and pound. If he makes the mistake of trying to stand in there and swing again he will be KO'd much the same way. I think Pide is cool still holding open weight tournement style fight cards. There is no way Sylvia would be able to take on more than one top level opponent the same night. 
  I don't look at it so much as to being loyal to one organization or another, as fans we can appreciate the goog thing that both have to offer. Going back to the fight nights this upcoming show on December 13 should be good. I'm a big fan of Diego Sanchez since were from the same home town. His last fight with Karo was great. Show he can overcome adversity. Joe Riggs will be a good test also. He is a better fighter than his record shows. If he can beat Riggs he should be in line for a title shot. I think GSP is awsome, and the way he took care of Hughes shows how much he has improved since the first fight. If Diego does get a shot at GSP that would be a good fight. My heart is with Diego but GSP is going to be hard to dethrone. As far Tim Sylvia goes his days are numbered. He is a good fighter mainly because of his size but I agree that Fedor, Crocop, Barrnett and Nogueira would be able to take his belt. He may be able to fend them off for a while with his reach but once he's taken down he will be outmatched. Crocop and Fedor would KO him. The fight I'm hoping to see is Mike Tyson. Although I don't think he has enough MMA experience to be a real threat it would be an interesting to see him hit someone with the small gloves. They better put a Hannibal Lecter mask on him so he don't take a chunk!! Don't mean to be rambling just wanted to say whats up and I like the way everone voices their opinion. I think with both organization taking each other seriously we will all be in for some great fights in the near future.</description>

		<description>I dont see how you can have Pro Football with guys getting injured almost on a daily basis, juicing like crazy and its all fine with the province.  Hockey players beating the living shit out of each other BARE KNUCKLE, blind-siding guys with crippling body checks and shit.  Boxers beating theyre brains out until the become drooling vegetables.

And YET, highly trained professional fighters wearing protective gear cant compete against each other!!

LET THEM FIGHT! and sell out the seats EVERYTIME! 

Instead we get baseball games that sell no tickets, you know how many times i got free tickets from cheezy giveaways? and i STILL never went! does that tell them something??</description>
