Mixed Martial Arts Weekly Link Dump

It has been a while since I have been able to post anything thanks to a busy military schedule. Since the last post, the MMA world has been full of news. To share as much news as possible I am going to start doing a weekly MMA Link Alert.

I will peruse the net and find the best articles, posts, and stories that you guys can't miss. If you own a site, write for a site, or find a link that needs to be added for the week let me know and I will add it.

1. Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley

• This one is pretty interesting. It takes the forum spin and punches the "Lashley for president" bid in the face.

2. Independent World MMA Rankings

• I know what you are thinking: Not another biased and random rankings system. Give this one a try. The voting panel is comprised of a who's who of MMA media, including Jordan Breen, Josh Stein, and many others. 

3. Bisping is upset...He is not feeling the love

• It could be the next version of pre-fight hype, but Mr. Bisping is not happy. He is feeling disrespected and does not like how he is being treated. Who would have thought the best fighter ever from the UK would have low self-esteem and get upset over a little trash talk?

4. Happy Birthday Wand!

• Birthday cake is in order when one of the most exciting fighters in history gets a year older.

5. UFC Ring Girl Search!

• The UFC is searching for their next professional hot chick. 

BR Links!

1.  For Georges St. Pierre, Thiago "Pitbull" Alves will be a different animal

• Take Ten put this interesting post together. It is a great look at the two fighters and their up coming bout.

2. UFC 100: Who the Hell is Marketing it?

• That is a great question. Do you guys remember all of the hype when Randy fought Brock? I don't understand why the UFC doesn't have a monster marketing plan for this one!

3. UFC to Ban Fighters that Sign with EA

• Crazy! How can one organization have this much control and power over their employees? I am in the military, but own my own likeness!  I hope this doesn't happen. EA's Madden franchise is the best sporting game in history. Why not allow them to market your fighters?
