skitz Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 GUYS! I work for an independent media outfit (events, concerts, tv shows). Anyways, yesterday, a walk-in client happens to be one of the trainers of UFC fighter Diego Sanchez. He is here trying to pitch to sponsors his concept for bringing the UFC here in the Philippines (araneta coliseum, probably). Of course, to top-bill the event would be the undefeated Diego Sanchez (19-0)... He is also hoping to be able to bring in a Chuck Lidell (or someone with his following!). Keep your fingers crossed guys! Hopefully, everything works out and we'll get to see the event live! Quote Link to comment

skitz Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 good. i just hope it pushes through. Plans are for the event to push through within the year. It really depends on the MONEY (whatelse). Kung wala masyadong makuhang sponsors... baka walang Chuck Lidell... or worse ma-scrap ang event altogether. The trainer of Diego Sanchez happens to be a Fil-Am based in Las Vegas. He is a cool guy -- although he doesn't know anything about video production... which I did for him over the weekend. He will be using the material for his sales pitch. Keep your fingers crossed guys! Mahal nga lang siguro ang mga tickets pag nagkataon... but as for me... GUARANTEED FREE RINGSIDE TICKETS AKO.... hahaha! The perks of my job! May "backstage" pass pa yan. Quote Link to comment

bret_hart Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 UFC News: UFC negotiating for Ortiz-Shamrock IIISubmitted by Brian Cantor on Sunday, August 6, 2006 at 7:40 PM EST Sunday's Las Vegas Review-Journal features quotes from Dana White that confirm UFC's interest in a third Ken Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz fight. "The way that fight ended the last time (stunk), and we care about our fans and our customers," White said. "They were booing and throwing (things) and I've never experienced anything like that before. It was a bad scene." The fight was stopped in Tito Ortiz's favor after one minute and eighteen seconds. Although Ortiz was clearly winning, MMA fans almost unanimously condemned the stoppage as premature, noting that Ken Shamrock was far from "out." White is eyeing an October Spike TV special for the fight as a courtesy to disappointed fans who paid $39.95 to see their bout last month. Neither Ortiz nor Ken Shamrock had agreed to terms at press time. UFC Quote Link to comment

spartan Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Bad news bro... I guess Dana White is afraid of the upcoming Pride event which is going to be held in Las Vegas... Let's just hope that this fight still pushes through. Quote Link to comment
