UAE to Deploy Commandos to Boost Anti-IS Campaign
SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2016 JAMADA ALAWWAL 5, 1437 AH No: 16785 Kuwait to sign Bahrain at Barca-Real Eurofighter impasse five rivalry spills jet deal years after into Copa with Italy5 failed uprising8 del47 Rey final UAE to deploy commandos to boost anti-IS campaign Min 07º 150 Fils Pentagon chief Carter meets top UAE officials Max 22º BRUSSELS: The United Arab Emirates wants to deploy commandos to help train forces fighting Islamic State jihadists and will resume its contribution to the US-led air campaign, Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said yesterday. Carter met top UAE officials in Brussels following a land- mark summit of anti-IS coalition members to discuss ways to step up the 18-month fight against IS in Iraq and Syria. “They indicated to me their willingness to do more, which is important, specifically to re-start their participa- tion in the air campaign, secondly to work with us on the ground,” Carter said. UAE special operations forces would help train and advise-as well as arm anti-IS forces in Syria and local partners in Iraq, including Sunni groups and the Kurdish Peshmerga. Carter did not say how big the force would be. “What is needed in the Sunni parts of Iraq is capacity among moderate Sunnis to re-occupy and govern that territory and keep a multi-sectarian Iraq together,” Carter said. “The Emiratis can be an important part of that.” Saudi Arabia too has promised to step up its anti-IS efforts. Like the UAE, it took part in early strikes after the campaign began in mid-2014, but stopped as it turned its attention to the conflict in Yemen.

CENTRELLA 1 WILLAMETTE SPORTS LAW JOURNAL 2007 THE DEVELOPMENT OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS: From Fighting Spectacles to State-Sanctioned Sporting Events By Peter Hess INTRODUCTION On November 11, 1993, pay-per-view television broadcast a fighting tournament, live from the McNichols Arena in Denver, Colorado.1 “Promoters built an octagonal chain-link cage, invited eight top martial artists, and set them loose in no-holds-barred, bare-knuckles fights.”2 Dubbed the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the tournament (UFC-1) was promoted as having “no rules.”3 In reality, there were four: no biting, no eye gouging, no fishhooking and no strikes to the groin.4 There were no weight classes or weight limits, and matches consisted of an unlimited number of five-minute rounds.5 A match could be won in any one of three ways: (1) knockout; (2) referee’s stoppage; and (3) submission, signaled by the competitor by tapping his hand on the mat three times, commonly called “tapping out.”6 UFC-1 was the first mixed martial art (MMA)7 fighting event to reach a mass audience in the United States. The largest competitor was a sumo wrestler who weighed in at 415 pounds.8 However, the smallest competitor, Royce Gracie, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist who weighed a 1 Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC 1: The Beginning, http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=EventDetail.fight Card&eid=2&mode=poll (last visited Nov.
