UFC and MMA News: Big twist in next Ultimate Fighter casting, new Liddell opponent, new podcast Mar 7, 2008 - 4:16:16 PM
The next season of The Ultimate Fighter, which premieres next month on Spike TV, features a major twist in casting, with each fighter needing to win a fight to qualify. Spike TV just issues a press release today. Full details are available along with my commentary at our sister website, MMATorch.com.
Also, Chuck Liddell has a new opponent for his big fight at UFC 85 on June 7 in London. Check out the revamped and revved up (with increased daily content in the works in coming weeks) MMATorch.com for the news story and editorial viewpoints on the new opponent.
We've also added a new sliding schedule to the right sidebar of every page for upcoming MMA events (just like PWTorch has), so you can check there to find out about the next big UFC show (PPV or TV), EliteXC/Strikeforce special on Showtime, the next WEC card on Versus, the next CageRage on Showtime, the start of The Ultimate Fighter, and any other big MMA dates. It's a great way to avoid that sinking feeling when you realize you missed a big fight card.
The latest MMATorch Podcast is up with hosts Shawn Ennis and John Taylor who talk about the week in MMA. They know they're stuff. It's educational and entertaining. Check out the link at MMATorch to download it free.
The message board is also picking up steam, so check out the links to that and join in the discussion.
We continue to accept applications for new contributors to MMATorch.com, also. Check the site for details.

This debuted in January 2009 with a 68 minute interview with the late "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith. Who's next? Hulk Hogan? Eric Bischoff? The Rock? Goldberg? Jeff Hardy?
