Although UFC has gained sufficient fame in the United States, as well as other countries, its popularity did not shoot up overnight. Last year, UFC visibly had poor pay-per-view sales, not even comparable to WWE’s. But now, it seems that UFC is experiencing a remarkable surge in popularity, evident in its rising pay-per-view sales.

While UFC’s pay-per-view sales is on the rise, its recent airing of Fight Night 9 on Spike TV was clearly a disaster, the lowest rated Fight Night ever broadcast on the cable network. In fact, a string of Fight Night broadcasts, from Fight Night 7 to 9, has resulted to a similar squat.

It also seems like The Ultimate Fighter is absorbing the same kind of hard luck Fight Night has been experiencing. Despite earning a spot as the top show on cable, The Ultimate Fighter 5 has acquired quite a low rating compared to last year’s The Ultimate Fighter 4 and the preceding The Ultimate Fighter 3, which gained the most ratings.

At any rate, hardcore fans are hoping for a great come back for The Ultimate Fighter 5 with the B.J. Penn-Jens Pulver match. Penn, a former UFC Welterweight Champion and lightweight contender, along with the finalist of the tournament, are set to fight Pulver, former UFC lightweight champion, at The Ultimate Finale, a televised MMA fight card that will air live at the completion of the series.

UFC, a United States-based mixed martial arts organization based in Las Vegas, Nevada, showcases some of the best fighters of the world. Founded in 1993, the organization progressed and evolved into a reality series. It consists of several tournaments, which features various styles of brutal fighting with a limited number or rules. To catch the no holds barred fighting, watch UFC every Thursdays at 10 PM ET/PT on Spike TV.

December 17, 2006

Press Release – Toronto Ontario – Mixed Martial Arts clothing company Submit Gear Inc is proud to announce their sponsorship of Canadian mixed martial arts fighter Liz Posener.

Liz is a 31 year old mother of two, who studies Pankration and Muay Thai kickboxing at the Kel Lee’s Academy of Martial Arts in Vancouver, BC, owned by her husband Simon. She entered the mixed martial arts scene five years ago, but her love for the sport began at a young age.

Her first exposure to contact fighting was watching boxing with her father. From there, her interests expanded onto grappling and other contact sports.

In the Posener household, martial arts is truly a way of life. Liz is married to a former PNW Pro Pankration Champion, and North American Pro Muay Thai Champion. Their 10 year-old daughter Lydia is not only her biggest fan, but she also trains and competes in kick boxing herself.

Like other practitioners of the sport, Elizabeth had to deal with stereotypes and misconceptions from day one.

“When I talk to other parents they’re usually surprised that a mother of two does this kind of thing, but that comes from people not knowing enough about what mixed martial artists do”, Posener said. “ It’s not just two people beating each other in a cage.”

Today, Elizabeth is one of the few female MMA fighters in Canada and has achieved several sponsors in her support. “She is without a doubt making her mark in the MMA world” says urban fight apparel company (http://www.SubmitGear.com) owner Mark Chiappino.

She was the first female fighter to compete in both the “Elite Fighting Championships” and the “Real Fighting Championships”. Her current MMA record is 3-1-0, all wins by TKO.

Elizabeth will be fighting in Florida’s first women’s MMA title fight on December 22, 2006 for the UFC (Unified Cage Fights) bantamweight mma title. Following that event, will be another title fight in the “Gladiators Challenge” on January 26th, 2007.

Who says women can’t fight?
