News and Notes
*************
Dave Meltzer reported on WrestlingObserver.com today that an article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal had a quote from UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta in which he said the live gate on tomorrow's show would be $1.2 million. Meltzer pointed out that if this is true, than this is a phenomenal number, and that the WWF is the only wrestling company ever to top a million dollars, and they have done it less than a dozen times.
This letter was posted on the Underground Forum:
Attention UFC fans,
I have had a rough month. I feel like I have been out of touch with the fans. So, I just
wanted to thank you all for the support.
Our day is finally here! Friday, September 28th will be a history-making event when UFC:
Victory in Vegas takes place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in fabulous Las Vegas,
Nevada. Not only will this be the first event sanctioned in the state of Nevada, but
Friday will also mark the return to cable television.
For the first time in over three years, iN DEMAND will be broadcasting the UFC, live on
pay per view, along with DirecTV and Dish Network.
This is a critical juncture for the sport. If you have ever supported Mixed
Martial Arts, the time is now. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell total strangers.
The UFC is back, and stronger than ever! Spread the word. You have already shown
tremendous support in helping us sell out the Mandalay Bay for the first event in Las
Vegas.
We at the UFC thank you all for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Dana White
UFC President
Mike Reilly sent the next two notes in:
Only 3 days before Street Fight Minnesota. Ultimate Wrestling is proud to bring you this unique event
The last few days have been simply overwhelming
as fighter from all over the 5 state area and even from as far away from New Mexico are
clamoring to be part of Street Fight Minnesota. Thus far we have fighters from the world
of Judo, Brazilian Jujitsu, Wrestlers, Karate, Kung Fu and the ever popular martial art of
"street Fighting" Over 25 fighters will try their hand in the ring. In a format
not seen since the early UFCs – it will be man vs man; Art vs Art – Who will
come out on top – who will be the King of the Minnesota Streets. Sunday will be the
first step of a few rising starts – Be there to see it happen!
Also for the first time ever – Women’s Mixed Martial Arts. The sport is quickly
growing among women players and Ultimate Wrestling is making room at the table. See the
first Women’s fight as the first female warriors lay the ground work for a
women’s world championship. Also see Pro fighters back in the ring.
Mixed Martial arts has come a long way from the barefist brouhaha’s held in the basement of frat houses or in little sleaze bars. The reason is clear – you the fans! Ultimate Wrestling would like to thank you for your continued support.
Just in case you do not already have tickets to this great show – Order them Now – Call the Lion’s Lair at 763-572-2378 and get your tickets and be part of this great event.
$38 Ringside, $28 Reserved, $22 General admission (standing room)
If you already have tickets – please help us out and spread the world – There is a fight in town this weekend and everyone is invited.
Thanks again for your support.
