As most of you know, I am an avid mixed martial arts fan! I am a member of many MMA-oriented forums and communities, but I am finding that there is no forum for amateur fighters to showcase their talents or promote their careers.

I am planning to launch the iCageFight.com community, but am searching for a sponsor to promote the site. I contacted TapOut, but they are not sponsoring at this time. Oh well, I will keep trying to find a sponsor.

Attention designers! If you are interested in developing the brand for a fan-built MMA community, please drop me a line. I plan to integrate all of the changes, so no need to know HTML or other technologies.

I took several weeks off to decompress from the last project and to wait for the next contract to ramp up. Well, with the time off I was able to complete the administration component of the application, nice!

The main application is nearing completion, but I am finding minor inconsistencies in the user interface that need to be resolved. I estimate the public pages are approx. 70% complete at this time.

I am starting a new contract soon, so I am not sure how long it will take to complete the balance of the public application. Some of the extra features will have to wait for now and revisited in the near future.

I had plans to go to the movies on Saturday and completely forgot that UFC 85 Bedlam was on PPV. The only bout I was interested in seeing was Matt Hughes vs. Thiago Alves in the main event, so I am not too disappointed that I missed the event.

As predicted, Thiago Alves stopped Matt Hughes! Nice job. I watched the countdown to UFC 85 and tired of hearing Hughes talk smack, it is time for him to retire and move on to other aspects of mixed martial arts.

The only surprise of the night for me is Thiago Tavares’ loss to Matt Wiman. I thought Thiago was going to dominate Wiman for a win, but again the dynamics of the octagon and the sport had other plans for this bout. Boo!

I should have stayed home to watch UFC 85 and saved $50, because dinner and a movie was $94.50. When did a general admission movie ticket go up to $10 dollars? Gas prices are outrageous and others are gouging too, but that is another story.
