The Sunday Crunch

July 13th, 2008

Sunday is finally upon us and it was a pretty quiet weekend in the world of mixed martial arts. Dale Hartt and Vitor Belfort chime in with their thoughts while some women will get a chance to do some damage in the cage next month. Here’s some of the stories that are choking out the weekend as part of the Daily Crunch.

Dale Hartt talks to mmajunkie.com about life before and after the UFC. He goes on to claim before fighting in the UFC, he was looked upon as “wasting his time”.

Vitor Belfort is ready to return to the top. Belfort will be fighting as part of next week’s Affliction card and tells MMA Weekly he is primed to reclaim his place in the spotlight.

Almost five years ago, TUFF-N-UFF helped jump-start the careers of some big names in mma with an event in New Orleans. Geroges St. Pierre and Jesse Taylor are just a couple of those names. Now, TUFF-N-UFF will host another event on August 8th featuring female mixed martial artists. Mmaonline.com has the skinny.

Mauro Ranalli will not be offering his input as a play-by-play analyst at Affliction: Banned. Fiveouncesofpain.com explains how contractual obligations with EliteXC will keep Ranalli quiet during Affliction’s debut event.

WEC’s Leonard Garcia finally got “The Man” off his back. Garcia has been cleared of federal drug charges in which he was suspected of intending to distribute five kilograms of cocaine. Sherdog.com has more on Garcia’s recent Scarface impersonation.

Former IFL journeyman Bill Palaszewski will make the switch over to the Xtreme Fighting Organization according to Fighters.com. He’ll fight at XFO’s next event on August 9th, however an opponent has not yet been named.
