The Ultimate Fight Train is a package deal that is being offered to fight fans. The Via Rail train will leave Toronto, Ontario on the Saturday morning (April 19) and return on Sunday afternoon.

There are two packages available -— one package that includes tickets to UFC 83 (216 & 217 level) and a second for fans who already have their tickets. Included in the packages are a return trip aboard The Ultimate Fight Train, hotel room and passes to the official TapOut after party.

Jenna Jameson on Dana White…pretty good read!

 Jenna Jameson: My opinion of Dana White

My opinion of Dana White
Category: Blogging

I usually don’t comment on nastiness in the press, but I couldn’t ignore Dana Whites’ ramblings any longer. His latest interview referring to Tito as a “moron” for the hundredth time… will not go unnoticed.

so here goes…

Dana White – Pre Pubesent Schoolyard Bully
By Jenna Jameson

Dana White’s insistance of my lack of brain power smacks of 18th century
beliefs that women (all women) are inferior to the male species.
Ignoring a persons achievements or simply their IQ due to the fact they
have a vagina instead of a penis, explains Danas simplicity. He has a a
track record in every conversation, if he needs to describe someone who
he feels threatened by, or weakened by… he lashes out in the manner of
a 12 year old, by accusing the other of unintelligence. I for one, would
enjoy seeing data that backs up his hasty words. In my experience anyone
that reverts to this type of defense is simply insecure about
themselves, and tend to try to shift the glaring light of truth away
from his profane grammatically incorrect rantings. The most interesting
story here, is the silence by the UFC. How do they sit back, silent, and
allow their “figure head” to endanger the worth of their empire?
Business must be tended to with a level head, or it usually self
implodes. We all are starting to witness the Dana White propaganda
wheels being set in motion with every new self agrandizing Dana
interview. When are the Fertitas going to step to the plate and put a sock in Dana’s hate spewing mouth? It seems to be depreciating their
companies worth with every syllable. It is plainly obvious that it isn’t
just a coincidence that so many champions have chosen to test the waters
beyond the UFC trainwreck. Their defection to greener pastures is no
longer just a money issue, but more of a continued lack of disrespect on
Dana’s part. It troubles me that this could be the downfall of such a
ground breaking monumental company, all due to one mans over abundance
of testosterone. In closing, maybe the UFC should mandate steroid
testing to company presidents, then maybe the company could continue its
massive dominance… with a soft hand.

and that’s all I have to say about that…

Mr. Peepers. A few of my buddies and I have noticed it too, but I don’t expect that nickname to stick.

It’s not that ALL women are inferior, just the ones who have no useful or practical skills for earning a living or to contribute to society other than sucking thousands of c*cks. As for her actual point, well, this sort of thing goes on in lots of professional sports. Major League Baseball has salary arbitration where a player who feels he has out-performed his contract can appeal to a neutral third party to negotiate a higher salary even when he isn’t eligible for a new contract under the terms of his existing contract. Then his team also has to appear before this third party and give a detailed list of reasons why their player isn’t worth as much as he thinks he is. This can strain player-club relationships, but ultimately some middle ground is found and everyone moves on professionally. Tito clearly thinks he is worth $1 million per fight, even though his recent in-ring performances would suggest otherwise. This sniping back and forth by both sides is the equivalent of an arbitration hearing, except they are trying to impress UFC fans instead of actual arbiters, which really makes no sense seeing how fans have no real determination on who makes how much.

Shouldn’t Rampage be doing this promotion since he’s in the Midnight Meat Train movie? Maybe he’ll come aboard and kill everyone.

by VNDK8 on Mar 24, 2008 12:45 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I disagree with most when they say Tito didnt do good against Rashad he outwrestled him 90% of the time and stood toe to toe also he clearly won that fight but got 1 point taken off causing the draw just because he didnt ground and pound his ass to death or knock him out doesnt mean he didnt do good

by hector on Mar 24, 2008 1:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Also, I found out the odds on Rampage vs. Forrest.
Rampage is a minus 275 pt favorite
Forrest is a plus 250 underdog
