Canadian Rumour Mill – August 16
Halfway through the slow MMA month of August. Makes it difficult for a girl like me to spread gossip when there isn’t much going on.
Very sad news about the unexpected passing of Shawn Tompkins, RIP.
- If MMA Live holds a second show, look for it to move to a Friday or Saturday rather than the Thursday MMA Live 1 was held on. SMART!
- Armageddon Fighting Championship will return with their next show on November 12th.
- I’m hearing Lino Santoro (CCF) has contacted a lawyer and is threatening to take a well known member of the Alberta MMA community to court in response to supposed words said about Lino’s business practices.
- Dan Severn vs Chris Johnson in Elite 1. Severn will be defending his World Championship.
- Tim Hague vs Demian Decorah is not happening at Aggression “Unfinished Business”. Decorah has dropped out.
- Matt Bagshaw of BDB will face major prospect Freddy Assuncao at Aggression MMA’s September 16th “Unfinished Business” card. Great opportunity for Calgary’s Bagshaw.
- Steve Claveau has been denied his license to fight in Quebec.
Yawn…
FREE CLAVEAU
You guys need to do better than this. I mean, you girl, you need to do better than this.
Tim Hague’s opponent has been replaced and will be announced asap. Matt Bagshaw will be representing Canada at the Fila world grappling championships on sept 29 so he opted for that opportunity. We will also have Freddy’s opponent announced shortly. Wishing Matt the best
More bullshit from Quebec. An already-broke province pissing away tax dollars on a petty vendetta. I really hope an Ontario promotion is smart enough to get Snake a fight here. He is fun to watch and a hell of a hype man.
I’ll do better at lining up rumors, if you do better lining up fights.
Ooooh, burn!
lol!!
If that is the case, you might as well close the colemn down.
Hahaha BURN!
Im gonna burn you BKB. Sept 10, CFC, I’ll see you there. Be prepared, MAD and i have a special treat for you.
Is it bigger than a bread box?
Looks like BKB is going to be in the middle of a midget sandwich on Sept 10.
Grienke can be the stinky cheese in this sandwich.
boring
FREE CLAVEAU!
Go matt, good luck representing at fila
FREE CLAVEAU!!
Ryan Farse, you a goof. :)
Go matt, good luck representing at fila. P.s. hahahahaha lino did someone say mean things about your shit show?
Be carefull Tyler, he might go after your Fireplace!!
sean quinn you a goof, no you a goof. see dog run lol
lolz, I think Farse will now be a part of the BKB Sandwich. You wanna be on top of Grienke or beneath BKB?
McSweeny vs Hague maybe??? He was just in Lethbridge fighting Mein…
That would be wicked!!!
Or how bout Lee vs Tim?
Ya lee mein would be a great match up
Tim vs Toney Lopez! Im getting sick of hearing “no Canadians want to fight lopez” we got more than a good handful that would beat him, I would like to see it happen already. Maybe not even this card, but another.
I don’t fear no 135lbs “men”
Tim Vs AfroZilla !!!! interesting stand up war!!!
By “men” I was mainly talking about Quinn and MAD, the other 135ers I probably would fear.
Fear me Karimi.
Please?
HAHAHA! I do fear you but for other reasons! LOL!
EFC oct 1st sounds like greg welsh vs matt veal 145lb belt, tyson steel vs ben stewart 170lb belt, jose rodriguez vs nick heynen 155lb belt.
Intersting fact about Matt Veal… his last two fights were against twins Melvin and Marvin Blumer.
I dont care what promotion picks up Steve “The Snake” as long as someone does. Its been far too long since we’ve had the pleasure to see Claveau fight.
FREE CLAVEAU!!!
McSweeney would have loved to take the fight against Hague, but he just got married then fought in Austrailia Aug 20, he won by armbar lol, his BJJ is improving, he is now on his Honeymoon!! He will be returning to Canada very soon…and taking on yet another top Ranked HW
Any details on who mcsweeny is fighting?
