MMA News and Notes for 06/27

All the MMA News I could stand to gather for the moment is behind the cut.



Ken Shamrock says he got his formal release from the UFC on Fight Network Radio.

Nick Diaz calls out Frank Shamrock.

Travis Lutter to fight at UFC 74 I'm sure that Euan, Art and myself will not make any weight jokes during our UFC 74 roundtable. Actually, I'm pretty sure we're all going to start brainstorming them...mmmm....mmmm....mmmm....now.

I guess IFL Battleground has another new direction has it really been 3 weeks already?

The TUF Five Finale ratings are in and all things considered are pretty good.

Matt Hughes says he'll fight in December

Jason Probst breaks down Franca Vs. Sherk

Cro Cop Vs. Kongo is official for UFC 75.

UFC finally got around to announcing UFC 74 I was beginning to think they'd wait until the day after it was over.

Entrepreneur magazine wants us to meet Dana White

Is Drew Fickett out of UFC 73? and his scheduled bout with Chris "Lights Out" Lytle.

Jamal Patterson, New York Pitbulls Light Heavyweight Blog is here

Tokyo Saber Heavyweight Wayne Cole wants a shot at redemption Get a load of his injury story and try not to laugh...I failed.

The best of the best in IFL 2007 is here and while I've not looked at the list, Battleground had better only be mentioned in passing. Well, the first episode which was so great they apologized for it should be on the list as best fuck up.

Phil Baroni is out for 6 or 7 months

Salaries and attendance for Shamrock Vs. Baroni are here

The Smashing Machine Mark Kerr will fight for the Global Fighting Championships in August. Some other known names are on the card, and Sean O'Haire is listed as well...so I guess he's gotten out of jail after the last time he got his ass kicked.

Some guy named Jorge Ortiz tested positive for steriods However, Tito Santiago was clean. Ric may be the only one that laughs at that, if anyone does.

A Q&A with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua is here

Wayne McCullough talks MMA here and get a load of his nickname...it is the new best ever.
