Seasons Greetings...and wait! What's this?

Hi everyone,
Oh wow I came to write some seasons greetings and saw the last blog. Now I have to change my mind, but first Happy Holidays!

Why the change in subject? Dana White is the answer. The head of UFC you wonder? Well if you read Fighting For Freedom and know about the UFZ...the Underground Fight Zone; you'll get why.

Okay so the UFC is sanctioned here now and Dalton McGeeky (spoiler Macy name from Return Home series that's in progress) had his daughter convince him to allow it.

Wild that currently I am writing about the UFZ once again and there has been talk about which way people are going.

If you read the series; you'll know that underground fighting doesn't have the governments hand in the money pot, so you can pretty much guess what the hype is about. The UFC is all controlled here and you'll be very lucky if you're a fighter they're looking for to be in the UFC event.

The short of it is; many underground good fighters may never see a UFC octagon no matter how hard they fight; it's down to Dana White. Unfortunately they can't make the fame and fortune, but they'll always have the UFZ.

Example being the WWE taking over much of the wrestling leaving independent groups struggling to make money on cards. Fans will still go see these close events to root for the home town hero. You can't have it all. The promoter that knows how to put on a show, sanctioned or unsanctioned knows how to keep fighting matches alive.

So we can have the UFC here in Ontario and everyone can be happy, but the real fighters are the ones who've already been here doing the matches before the UFC even got here.

Not just the underground fighters, but independent wrestlers who have been dedicating their life to traveling from various towns across Ontario putting on shows for locals to come out and see.

With that said, if someone asked me to photograph a UFC or WWE and a GWN or AWF show was on at the same time I would always choose the latter two because the first two get enough hype and don't need me to help promote them.

Still, happy holidays all!
Desiree
