UFC To Replace Liddell As Public Icon

Their was quite a shock when Quinton “Rampage” Jackson knocked out Chuck Liddell. Chuck Liddell, who was knocked out in the first round, was expected to win. Now UFC is wondering what to do with their biggest star. Is there another star UFC can build marketing campaigns around? Can UFC go forward with Liddell as its marquee attraction, even though he turns 38 this year and is now 0-2 against Jackson? Did the first-time fans who bought last night’s pay per view think they got their money’s worth?

Woods And Jordan Team Up

Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan are two different people who play two very different aports. Yet, they seem to share two important things. They share a passion for winning and a major sponsor. They have decided to play an organized golf match for the first time in the pro-am event at the U.S. PGA Tour’s Wachovia Championship. About 5,000 fans cheered Woods, the world’s top-ranked golfer, and Jordan, a five-time Most Valuable Player in the National Basketball Association, as they began their round at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
