Ship01 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Ultimate Fighting is taking off in the country with UFC doing more events here and our home grown talent Michael Bisping even headlined an event. Although the big fighters are getting paid enough to get by, the undercard fighters still need sponsors to keep their career on track. So I reckon you could get some of those guys over like Evan Tanner who purely finances his career with fan support as he doesn't believe in sponsorship from companies who have nothing to do with MMA. There's also guys like Clay Guida, Jorge Gurgel, Tyson Griffin, Jon Koppenhaver, Marcus Davies and Paul Taylor and Paul Kelly who are Brits. Established names and new guys who would welcome the financial support. Of course the biggest names are Rampage Jackson, Chuck Liddell, Forest Griffin, Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, BJ Penn, Georges St Pierre, Matt Hughes, Matt Serra, Anderson Silva, Shogun Rua, Dan Henderson, Fedor, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Urijah Faber, Andrei Arlovski, Wanderlei Silva, Rich and Gina Carano. Most probably untouchable but you never know, and The Star is guaranteed to advertise the event if any of those guys go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship01 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Brock Lesnar? Brock Lesnar was properly introduced to the sport by good old Frank Mir. In my mind until Brock beats his next opponent Mark Coleman he's still a wannabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
