Strikeforce finally signs Jordan Mein


Fans of Jordan Young Gun Mein are probably all saying the same thing right about now... "FINALLY."

After scoring wins over Josh Burkman, Joe Riggs and most recently Marius Zaromskis, Young Gun has finally been signed to the bigger leagues, where he belongs. Strikeforce tweeted the news Thursday night (Hooray to Twitter!) and Lee Mein, Jordans father and manager, told me that Young Gun will likely be fighting in September 10th, however no opponent has been named.

It isn’t long now until the world famous Calgary Stampede takes over the city for ten days of madness. Those ten days are always packed with non-stop activities… everything rated PG to R, in the form of pancake breakfasts, Chuck wagon races, and drunken parties.

Sabah Fadai And This Weeks Quickie

Ah yes... the weekly quickie.

This weeks feature spotlights my friend Sabah Fadai. Sabah will be fighting for Colosseo Championship Fighting (CCF) on July 23rd in Edmonton, AB at the Eagle River Casino &Travel Plaza. CCF has adopted Pride Rules for this fight, which makes Sabah automatically bad ass, in my eyes.


 
Not that he wasn't already.

The thing about Sabah is he doesn't appear to be your typical fighter. He is an incredible ...

Team vs Independent


This past Saturday, while most MMA fans watched the TUF finale, and the hockey fans enjoyed the Stanley Cup Playoffs, I was at a local event - Rumble In The Cage 43 - helping out with the show and supporting my team.  

As I watched the fights and sent off results to websites and Twitter I got to thinking about some of the teams and gyms with in the MMA community, who support RITC. There are some incredible strong ...

RITC 43 this Saturday night


This Saturday night, Canada’s longest running mixed martial arts promotion Rumble In The Cage, puts on its 43rd event in Taber, AB.

Mein has stated before that every promotion out ...
