What are you guys gonna do when the UFC succeeds in their evil plan to rebrand the sport as ultimate fighting?

Cool.

1st Good Luck!

Hmm… so NOW can you officially sponsor a fighter? (Say, I dunno… Fitch!?)

Jesus guys, now I’ve gotta change my banner on ClubMMA….

I like it though, MMAmania sounds way TUFFER than UFCmania.

About damn time….

About damn time….

You have no idea what we went though. Believe me.

MMA everyday!!!!!!!

Bah, mmania is so much more catchy!

smart move for this site, thanks for all the good news you put out!

Probably best to get the name “UFC” out of the site before Dana decides he wants a slice of the pie.

Haha..i mentioned it first!

hmm i suspect since dana white lost his cases against elite xc and ifl when he treid to sue them for using “ufc content” he aimed at ufcmania and ufcjunkie cuz now they both are headlined with mma. damn that fucking hollywood agent dana has i should bitch slap him!

Everyone else is probably a good idea. Did anyone else own that name? Did you have to deal with squatters?

Awesome move.

I don’t know about the change mania. There are already so many sites that cover all MMA, and this was one of the only ones that primarily focused on the UFC. I like a lot of different orgs, but I have to admit that it was nice have a place solely about the UFC.

I’ll still stop by everyday though, I’m just giving you my 2 cents.

Good luck!!! #1 MMA web page
thanks!

We liked it too. If we didn’t feel we had to switch, we wouldn’t have done it. We were just tired of swimming upstream, er, nevermind.

Love the new name. Harder to say though, for me anyways. I appreciate everything you guys dish out and this is the main website i come to cause, unlike many other sites, this one has personality. Keep up the good work.

This is great! Good job Mania for getting it done!

No one here ever talks about EliteXC, I mean, they just had an event this past Friday (3 days ago), for free! How many of you watched it? Was I the only one?

Also, I don’t like that the WEC is waiting soooo long inbetween events. They had that even in what, begining of September, and Jens Pulver had to drop out of his fight against Cub Swanson. But come December, Urijah Faber vs Jeff Curran is going to be an AWESOME fight. I am looking forward to that event soooooooooo much, even more than UFC 78!!!!!!

The IFL, is well, the IFL… and I don’t really watch.

We liked it too. If we didn’t feel we had to switch, we wouldn’t have done it. We were just tired of swimming upstream, er, nevermind.

I understand, but like I said, this will still be my first stop on the net everyday.

Brilliant move! Makes for some more diverse conversation too (Even though most of us talk outside the UFC Box)… Just out of interest, how much did it cost you for this URL? I take it you had to buy it from another owner…

Another note: Trying not to sound like an ass-kissing jerkoff, I’ve been clicking the google ads every time I visit the site… Does that help increase your revenue?

What about the fighter rankings? Are they coming back?

I really enjoyed them.

Yes, I mentioned that in the post. Just give us a little time. The last two weeks have been crazy behind the scenes.

CONGRATS, but really why the change? Is it so Dana wont came after you for real? Cuz I know mmajunkie did the same a while back, i was wonderin if you could explain it a bit?

Awesome. Let the Kung Le threads start. Is Shamrock ducking him and who do you think would win?

Sorry, I meant Cung Le.

Good news?
Ufc might be the best but MMA is more than only the UFC

Smart move!

This is appropriate considering that a lot of articles were not UFC related(not directly at least). Now when you continue to write about Fedor I won’t pull the “this is a UFC web site not general MMA” card.

Well … no big deal. This is still my favorite site. Keep up the good work!!!

I’m hoping that now there will be more coverage for K-1/Heros now such as the Sakuraba fight in December. As long as the rumors/coverage of UFC doesn’t dwindle, I think its a great idea.

I hope you didn’t get your legs broken by DW or something…

I have figured this was coming sooner or later since the convo me and Mania had about a month back.

Its a good move, now I guess I got to stop typing ufcmania.com into my scroll bar =p

Maybe this means more fan interaction with the rankings and everything!

Mania, so are you making a new myspace page? If so, let me know I will add you, delete UFCmania and have you up there in the 3rd slot.

Hell, I like it!

So you can sponsor Jon Fitch now right?

Hey mania,

Does your team go to all the shows that the UFC has very month? How does that work? If you guys do it must be pretty expensive.

Off Topic – I just read that tomorrow at 1pm Pacific Time Lorenzo Fertitta and Dana White are going to hold a press conference responding to Couture’s. Apparently, it will be streamed live at ufc.com. Should be very interesting. Couture (and his wife) should know better than to pick a fight with a Fertitta brother.

Congradulations! Keep up the good work, guys. From what I gather, you will take that compliment very happily. Well deserved though.

Hey Mania,

Do you and your team travel to all the fights that the UFC puts on? How does that work? It must get pretty expensive.

off the topic but, holy crap waiting for ufc 78 sucks. if dana white wants more money, how about having more events, rather than shiesting the fighters. in every month, im down for:

1.5 ppv ecvents (2 every other month)
2 ufc fight nights
tuf once a week

that should satisfy the mma hunger. football may not be as exciting but at least you can watch fresh content every weekend. honestly i whish i could see new ufc fights once a week too.

saw this coming long ago. i’m like nostradamus.

LOL, I see the Google Adsense script hasn’t figured out the new site yet.

Good move though, I was wondering when that was going to happen.

Is this true, UFC 80: Fabricio Werdum is facing Gabriel Gonzaga, Mania can you verify this

That’s not bad.

Then you can have:

Tim vs. Nog
Vera vs. Cro Cop
Arlovski vs. Kongo

Good move.

Let the sponsorships begin. :D

That’s not bad.

Then you can have:

Tim vs. Nog
Vera vs. Cro Cop
Arlovski vs. Kongo

Gonzaga via Ref stoppage in the 3rd round

maybe

Also off the topic, Dan Henderson is being rumored off the Bubba Love Sponge Show to be fighting in December and he will be possibly fighting at 185.

Also the UFC 78 site is up and running.

Please let it be Silva vs. Hendo.

Please let it be Silva vs. Hendo.

It could happen, Silva barely got touched by Rich Franklin, so he could be cleared to fight by NSAC.
If that was true this could be the UFC 79 Card

Wanderlei Silva vs. Chuck Liddell
Sean Sherk/Joe Daddy vs. BJ Penn for the Lightweight Title
Anderson Silva vs. Dan “Hollywood” Henderson, Middleweight Uni
Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra for the Welterweight Championship

WOW!

Sorry, but this would be the best card ever. This would be x10 better than the Superbowl card that could look like this

Forrest Griffin vs. Rampage Jackson for the LHW Championship
Big Nog vs. Tim Slyvia for the Heavyweight Championship
Brock Lensar Debuts
KenFlo could be possibly fighting on this card as well (thats what he told me at UFC 77)

I mean just think if this stuff can happen. Those two would be the best cards in the history of UFC.

Wise move changing the name don’t want to get into a costly tradmark battle.

3 things
 1.- now with the new name are you going to try to put mmamania.com in some fighter shorts.

2.- do you have to buy the name or what?
3.- you should rename it to mmamamia.com—-hahahaha

wHOOOOOOO CARESSSSSSSSSSS about the name change. Personally, i log on, type in the name, read all the news, and post. I don’t get all excited about what “title” i’m typing in. Get a life some of you!

This is also off the subject but does anyone know if the decision on Sean Sherk’s appeal will for sure be made by the 31st. I want to know who BJ PENN will be fighting. Thanks

I really enjoy this site keeps me upto date on upcoming fights and news.

Well done, Mania!

mmamania sounds more international, so I hope you’ll get many good, loyal visitors from all over the world. I hope I am the first Russian here :)))))
Since some ppl ask off-topic questions I have one too :)

Mania, what do you know on the Bodog’s USA vs Russia event which will take place in december? Bodog rep. here say Fedor will fight there and Bodog is preparing a big suprise for the fans. Could it be Fedor vs Randy fight? Do you have anything on this rumor? Thank you in advance.

Off Topic – I just read that tomorrow at 1pm Pacific Time Lorenzo Fertitta and Dana White are going to hold a press conference responding to Couture’s. Apparently, it will be streamed live at ufc.com. Should be very interesting. Couture (and his wife) should know better than to pick a fight with a Fertitta brother.

If anybody was finna pick a fight with a Fertitta brother though, it is Randy Couture.

Doesn’t matter what you named the site, it’s still my first web site I hit and I enjoy all you post. Thanks for all the hard work you put in. It’s great to put in my 2 cents and hear what everyone else has to say.

This is great! Good job Mania for getting it done!
No one here ever talks about EliteXC, I mean, they just had an event this past Friday (3 days ago), for free! How many of you watched it? Was I the only one?

VM is right!
MMA fans should watch EliteXC bouts" they put on a great show.
I know Mania has posted articles on Elite before, but now it should be a regular occurance and I am happy for that because I stop in this website almost daily.
I love to follow mma news and have been a fan for a long time, and this site is probably my favorite for mma news.
GOOD FOR YOU MANIA! Glad to see everything worked out!

As for VM’s question “how many of you watched it? Was I the only one?”

No Mike you were not the only one. I have watched all EliteXC bouts live(on TV) except the Feb/10 bout.(but i did watch it on re-run after.)
Last one was pretty good but I am looking forward to Nov/10 fights….GO DIAZ!..GO SHEILDS!

Really good move. The UFC, as big as they are, should never be placed as having a monopoly on MMA. Props for taking this bold step.

Congrats!

I’m never going to come back to this site ever again. How dare you betray the UFC!!! hahaha riiiiiiiiiiight

MMAMania makes more sense anyway, smart move. This is the only site I go to for MMA info anyway..

You even changed your Mod Name. I DONT KNOW YOU ANYMORE!! haha

Good change, great work, great site..

I got a suggestion, you should temporarily host the movie clips that you link on the site, I can’t get to most of the movies you post because from work I can’t get to youTube GoggleVideo DailyMotion or any of the other ones..

I’m sure others have the same problem, I think the system admins where I work also come to your site, cause I have read it every day for the last at least year and still not banned from the network..

Anyway, just a suggestion, I know space is limited and it will cause server lag if there is to much stuff on it..

Stagger-Lee, we agree 100% there! I’ve seen all of their events so far as well, but didn’t order thier PPV, just watched the replay for free. There wasn’t even mention of EliteXC’s event that took place on 10-26. Also, Nate Diaz is my #1 favorite fighter in all of MMA, and I am a big fan of Jake Shields as well. Look for him to start finishing his opponents, in similar fashion as he did to Verisimo. I root for just about every fighter that comes out of that Cesar Gracie camp over in Pleasant Hill, California. The Diaz Brothers, Jake Shields, and Gilbert Melendez. There are a LOT of well know fighters that often travel over to Cesar’s camp to train for upcoming fights. A very good camp.

mma mania, you say ask and you shall recieve when I have seen at least five people ask if you now can sponser a fighter and yet no response. We want answers!

Oh And I too have trouble saying the new name doesnt quite roll of the tounge as well.

WOW, i thought that Pleasant Hill was just a place for Vallejoans to beat people up….I just hope that the Diaz brothers dont smoke up all the best Northern Cali stuff. SAVE SOME FOR ME ASSHOLES!

Need to still change the tabs from UFC to MMA (or something else).
