I’m wanting to host a Mixed Martial Arts Tournament soon and i wanna know if there is anything legality wise that i have to do or watch out for. Such as if i have to have it in an actual gym or can it be in someones back yard. I plan on it being a big event so help me out here.

I have no idea, man. At a minimum you need the backing of a sanctioning body; an athletic commission or boxing commission.

No offense, but if you need to ask us, you’re nowhere near prepared enough to put on a show.

**UK channels not American or where ever **

Any news were UFC will be viewed in the UK? i tryed to research but keep getting UFC 100 information and thats old.

Some channels are linked like ESPN, Sky Sports, Bravo and Virgin Media.

I hope it isn’t sky because i’m not subsribing to Sky Sports lol
That didn’t help mate, i no the card.

It must be on somewhere, the news just needs to be found

Dana White promised us i think

well UFC 101, i doubt it will be on any of the channels you listed.

Anderson silva moves up to 205 to take on Forest Griffin ( in my opinion will be sensational fight)
Also BJ Penn is set to face Kenny Florian.

I want to get into MMA, like UFC and stuff like that. I have no prior experience in organized fighting. What would be some good first steps for me to take in learning how to fight mixed martial arts? Do i need to learn karate or something?

I have one question. Are you a fighter and have a dream of being the best one day? Or do you just see the money and fame? Ill tell you how I got started. I did take taekwondo when i was 9 but its not necessary. When i was 16 i started weight lifting and really got into it and bought a boxing bag and speed bag and a jump rope to train at home. I would start by doing some weight lifting so you at least have a base. Next, find local MMA gyms which will vary all over the place and dont hesitate to go into one and ask if they have a free trial. Most gyms offer anywhere from 1 week to a month free to train there to see if you like it. Be sure to let your trainer know that you are interested in competing. From there lots of gyms have there own fight teams and they should take care of the rest for you. Over time you will be able to move up in competition and bigger organizations and get your name out there. But i will tell you that guys on t.v. make it look extremely easy. You will know within the first week wether or not its what you want to pursue or not. Best of luck to you and have fun with it!

mmaweekly.com has a very great forum but their information seems to come late and they hardly ever break stories. If you want to be apart of an educated forum with adults that know their shi*t its a good place to go. It’s also fairly user friendly.

Sherdog seems to get info quicker and has better play by plays but their forum members are like elementary school kids with keyboards.

The Ug is also a good place to hear the latest rumors but spending too much time there may cause you to lose that line that differentiates fact from fiction. There’s always a new rumor brewing in the UG.

I’d say if you want to learn about mma get a membership at mmaweekly.com but stay in the shadows for a while. The knowledge people hold there makes them feel slightly elitest.
