Not even Dana White knows about Andrei Arlovski
The News - Mixed Martial Arts  |   Written by Brian Fritz   |   Thursday, 15 May 2008

Image Former UFC Champion Andrei Arlovski is currently a free agent. There have plenty of rumors on where he may be fighting next from EliteXC to Affliction to once again fighting for the UFC. Not even UFC President Dana White knows where he may end up as he told Yahoo! Sports.

"We want to sign him. It’s our intention to sign him. But I don’t know. We’re, well, I don’t know. We want to. Whether we will or not, I have no idea. We like Andrei and I know the fans like Andrei. I hope we can do something."

Well, that's honest. There have been reports that the UFC has the right of first refusal of any offer that Arlovski receives. That may not be necessary if Affliction offers "The Pitbull" a huge money offer which White and the UFC will refuse to pay. Simply put, the UFC wants to keep Arlovski - but only at what they feel is a fair price.

Gina Carano to be Featured on E:60 Tonight
The News - Mixed Martial Arts  |   Written by Adam Samons   |   Tuesday, 13 May 2008
Tonight at 7:00 ESPN will air a feature on Gina Carano on their E:60 program. MMAJunkie.com says that the feature will include interviews with her parents and fellow female mixed martial artists Shayna Baszler and Tara LaRosa.

It’s good to see EliteXC starting to get some media coverage with their big CBS debut fast approaching. Hopefully the show can pick up more buzz as it gets closer. I’d imagine ticket sales haven’t been that great since you can still purchase front row seats from Ticketmaster, though they’ll set you back $1,003 a piece.

Because I believe more Gina Carano is always better than less Gina Carano I’ll end the post with an interview done with Gina before one of her previous fights.

Jason Day Steps in for Leben at UFC 85
The News - Mixed Martial Arts  |   Written by Adam Samons   |   Saturday, 10 May 2008
After Chris Leben’s legal troubles forced him out of his fight with Michael Bisping the UFC has announced that Canadian fighter Jason Day will step up to take on Bisping. Day defeated Alan Belcher in the first round of his last fight which took place at UFC 83.

With so much calamity surrounding this card I think I’m buying into Marshall’s idea that this card is cursed.
