Team Colosseum
It's been quite on the Team Colosseum front. We have now got our own sub forum on the Powerbeck gym forum, c'mon and join - http://www.powerbeckonline.co.uk/powertalksports/
We've missed Tommo for a couple of weeks, I think he was taking a little time off, after the disappointment of the cancellation of his last fight. He's back in the cage in September, so he'll be back in gym soon.
As always, we are keen for new guys to join us, so if you live in Manchester, come along!
MMA noise
Interesting week in MMA.... Great to see Chris Zorba back on point. After the disappointing demise of Cage Gladiators, Chris is back on 8th August, with his new show OMMAC, and their first show, Assassins, on 8th August at the Olympia in Liverpool. Good look Chris.
So one show starts, another one ends... almost speechless to see things unravelling last week with Affliction Trilogy...
Good to see you were able to get quality replacements for LW and HW, unlike Affliction! With Affliction dead, the UFC has all but completed its monopoly on the sport of MMA. I thought the first two Affliction events were great, and the third was shaping up to be another quality night. I liked the fact there was another big promotion able to showcase good fighters that were not signed up by the UFC.
Love him or hate him, Dana White has proven to be one of the shrewdest businessmen of this decade (century!). And though he had nothing much to do with Affliction crumbling, the fact that he worked a deal with them at the right time to bail them out, especially after slating them when they left the UFC originally, shows he doesn't let his personal feelings get in the way of a good business deal. And an order of magnitude more if he lets Tito come back!
