This week saw Bellator 78 and MFC 35, along with The Ultimate Fighter dominate our Friday night with MMA action. This coming week, even without the UFC holding an event will once again be stacked as Bellator, Resurrection Fighting Alliance, The Ultimate Fighter and the World Series of Fighting will all be holding events.
It seems to be an epidemic in Mixed Martial Arts right now, fighters getting injured and withdrawing from their scheduled fights. While some of the injuries are from fluke circumstances, the majority of them are coming from training. The phenomenon has been dubbed the “injury bug” and MMA has yet to figure out a vaccine or cure for it.

This weekend was caulk full of MMA, offering up multiple high-profile events taking place on both Friday and Saturday. The UFC, Bellator, ONE FC and Invicta FC all held event this weekend, but so did UCMMA, CES MMA and Superior Challenge.
A new MMA reality series produced by James Jefferson and directed by Hollywood veteran Ben Perry called “Warrior Island” is looking to make waves by putting 16 elite fighters on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The reality series, which begins filming on location Feb. 1 of 2013, is being produced by Global Proving Ground who have partnered with former Cage Rage Presenter and current UCMMA Promoter Dave O’Donnell. Each week, the fighters will battle one another to stay on the island and compete for international stardom, as well as a half a million dollar grand prize.
The “Kings of Fight Music” (Coalition Fight Music) are back with their unique brand of “Urban Dubstep” as they’ve created the official UCMMA theme. The track for Europe’s leading promotion is called “Ultimate Challenge” and will be available for download at amazon.com on September 8th.
There is always something going on these days in the world on MMA and the links from this week’s Independent MMA Link club reflect just that. From women’s MMA to the Olympics or Saturday’s UFC 150, the links below will have you covered.
It’s the hottest day of the year so far and the temperature has gone through the roof here at the Troxy (and we’re not just talking about the Cage Girls) as fight fans prepare for the UCMMA 28 main event. Before that though, there is the small matter of an impressive undercard to get through.
After looking down the fight card, it’s hard to know where to start with previewing this weekend’s UCMMA 28 event at The Troxy in London with such the quality of the both the main and undercard.
