The Score Fighting Series

Hi - please see below for an important update.

Contrary to reports you may have read, no decision has been made regarding the future of The Score Fighting Series (SFS). We can confirm personnel changes were made this week in relation to the SFS. The Score will continue to assess the future of the SFS on an ongoing basis.

To clarify, Rogers Media plays no part in the operations of The Score Television Network (The Score). The Score is currently operating in trust until the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approves its acquisition by Rogers Media. Therefore, all decisions affecting the network and SFS are made by the management and trustee of The Score.

For those of you that have been asking about the status of the transfer of The Score to Sportsnet here is some news. Sounds like the new channel will be a nice fit for the fighting series.

Rogers closes in on Score purchase | News | Financial Post Some details trickled out Wednesday about what Rogers Communications Inc.'s media unit intends to do with The Score, which it successfully bid to acquire last summer

Another promotion bows out. Gives you an idea of how hard it is to stay afloat in MMA.

RIP StrikeForce!!!

Should be another good night of action in the octagon. It's mind blowing that Roy Nelson can compete in the UFC with a body like that. Will be interesting to see if Mike Ricci can be the first Canadian to win a season of TUF. I am picking Melvin Guillard vs. Jamie Varner for Fight of the Night. Predictions?

So the Bellator lightweight tournament final between Marcin Held and Dave Jansen was cancelled tonight because the Indiana Gaming Commission said Held was too young to fight in the casino venue (he's 20 years of age). How does this not come up till fight night? Someone should get fired for this one.

Watching Lombard vs Palhares tonight was like watching two action figures fight. Time to hit the gym tomorrow!
