UFC Moderator: Jennifer Wenk May 15, 2008 3:00 UFC Moderator: Jennifer Wenk 05-15-08/3:00 p.m. CT Confirmation # 4414003 Page 1 UFC Moderator: Jennifer Wenk May 15, 2008 3:00 p.m. CT Operator: Good day everyone and welcome to today’s UFC84 conference call. One note that today’s call is being recorded. And now, I’d like to turn the conference over to Miss Jennifer Wenk, please go ahead. Jennifer Wenk: Hi. Good afternoon everybody. Thanks for joining us for UFC84 pre-fight media conference call. We have Sean Sherk and BJ Penn on the line for you today and also UFC President Dana White is on the call as well. So at this time, I would like to turn the call over to Dana to talk about UFC 84 and bring on BJ and Sean. Dana White: Guys, thank you so much for your time and your support. We appreciate you calling in today. Exciting fight next weekend. I’m really, really genuinely excited for this next fight. The two best lightweights in the world BJ Penn and Sean Sherk, probably the two best lightweights ever in the sport and you know, it’s always exciting when you get to see the best face the face but in this case, this two have a lot of animosity and don’t like each other which always makes the fight a UFC Moderator: Jennifer Wenk 05-15-08/3:00 p.m. CT Confirmation # 4414003 Page 2 little bit more exciting. Also, Wanderlei Silva and Keith Jardine on this card and Lyoto Machida and Tito Ortiz. So, three very big fights for us and all of them are very competitive, exciting fights and I’m fired up for it. Let’s start some – let’s start questions. Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, please press star one if you would like to ask a question at this time. If you are using a speakerphone, please release the mute function. Once again, it is star one please and we’ll pause for just a moment. We’ll go first to Neil Davidson. Neil Davidson: Thank you. My question is for BJ. BJ, there’s been a lot of talking prior to this fight. When the fight ends on May 24th, do you think the two of you will shake hands and bury the hatchet or is this a grudge match that is going to – there’ll be no end to? BJ Penn: I definitely think that after the fight is done, we know – we have something about (04-32) letting it all go on the ring and all that and I think it’s all flying everything that when it’s done, it’s done and I feel confident about that. Neil Davidson: So, I’m sorry, you feel that you guys will be able to shake hands after the fight then? Male: Did you ask me? Neil Davidson: I guess for BJ. I just wanted to clarify his response. You guys, think you’ll be able to shake hands, BJ. BJ Penn: Yes. You heard – could you hear me? UFC Moderator: Jennifer Wenk 05-15-08/3:00 p.m. CT Confirmation # 4414003 Page 3 Neil Davidson: I can hear you better now. Yes. BJ Penn: OK. Yes. I just, you know, something about the definition of octagon and getting it on and just letting everything go. You know, after that, you know and I can of, you know, I would have said my piece with my actions and for me, it will be over there Neil Davidson: Sean, could I get your answer please? Sean Sherk: Yes, I mean, I’ve always been a class act. You know, I like to fight hard. I like to train hard. And you know, we’re going to go out there. I think this is probably one of the best fights of the year. Definitely. You know, this has been something people have wanted to see. There’s been a lot of stuff said between us both. We’re going to go out. We’re going to have a great fight. When it’s over, it’s over. You know, I’ve always carried myself with a lot of respect and with a lot of class. And what happens at the Octagon stays in the Octagon. Neil Davidson: Thank you. Operator: And for the Yahoo Sport, Kevin Iole. Kevin Iole: Sean, why did it become personal with you in the first place. I mean, was it because of the comment BJ made about the steroids? Sean Sherk: You know, I think that yes, definitely. I’ve never had an issue before that with BJ, you know. So, you know, going through that whole thing, that whole appeal process with the commission and having people take jabs at you at the same time, that’s not an easy process to have to go through. So, that’s pretty much. I don’t really know exactly when this whole thing started but that was the – that was the beginning of it. You know, so, it makes for a better fight. It makes for a UFC Moderator: Jennifer Wenk 05-15-08/3:00 p.m. CT Confirmation # 4414003 Page 4 better storyline. Everyone wants to see it and there’s going to be a lot of punches being thrown, May 24th, for sure. Kevin Iole: And Sean, you know, BJ has been through it before where there’s been trash talk to some of his fights. And you know, he has had and I don’t know that you have. The fact that you guys are so angry at his comments, you know, could one interpret that in – he got into you head and might be able to throw you off your game plan and really just make you want to kill him as opposed to fighting your fight. Sean Sherk: No. Definitely no. You know, I mean I take control of my emotions. You know, I don’t let my emotions get the best of me. I’ve been competing my whole life and you know, I’ve never fought anyone that I just like use to wrestle guys I dislike all the time. You know, and I never let the emotions get in the way, you know, I always compete with a clear conscious and a clear head. So, I think I perform better when I’m angry. To be honest with you, I’ve never, I’ve never performed poorly when I’m angry. So, I don’t think it will be an issue. Kevin Iole: Thank you, Sean. And BJ, to ask you, I was talking to one of the WEC fighters and he said he thought that Sean will win the fight and his rationale was because Sean, no doubt is going to be in a better condition than you and then you wouldn’t be able to finish him early and if he didn’t, you wouldn’t have any answer for his (cardio lake). Can you respond to that? BJ Penn: All I can do is get into the best shape that I can, you know, and do everything that I can do. You know, you know, I did, you know, my aerobic, my aerobic, my muscular endurance. You know, I try to do the best. I kind of did everything I possibly could do. You know, so, no matter what happens, you know, I mean, different people can deal with pain in this and that but, you know, I’m coming to win the fight and you know, what I can say. I mean, people can see this one, UFC Moderator: Jennifer Wenk 05-15-08/3:00 p.m. CT Confirmation # 4414003 Page 5 maybe all they want. Maybe this will be the fight that they finally turn around and say look, BJ, finally got himself in shape. Kevin Iole: Good luck, guys. Thank you. BJ Penn: Thank you. Operator: Next, we’ll hear from Marc Wickert from Knucklepit.com. Marc Wickert: BJ, in your last fight, you were able to overpower Joe Stevenson and set the pace of the best. Do you expect to be able to dictate the pace against Sean? BJ Penn: Yes, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. You know, I’m going to come out as I’ve changed nothing in my game. You know, it’s like fighting Chuck Ladell. You know what he’s going to do, can he defend it? You know what Randy is going to do, can he defend it? Well, you know what I’m going to do, I’m going to come at you. I’m going to try to punch you. I’m going to try to take you down. I’m going to try to (submit) you from my back. I’m going to try to stand up. I’m going to try to do everything you’ve ever seen me try to do in a fight. That’s all I’m going to try to do. And you know, that’s on him to try and stop whatever he’s going to do but you know, I got to change 100 percent of my game and I’ll never change my game plan. And I’m just going out at 100 percent. You know, this is the UFC, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, not mere boxing. You know, starting from the first minute of the fight. I’m coming full speed and I’m going to try to win the fight. Marc Wickert: Thank you, BJ.

  • Sogo MMA - Introduction and Overview
    Sogo MMA - Introduction and Overview What is MMA? Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, from a variety of other combat sports. The roots of modern mixed martial arts can be traced back to the ancient Olympics in the sport of Pankration. Various mixed style contests took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. The combat sport of "vale tudo" (anything goes) that had developed in Brazil from the 1920s was brought to the United States by the Gracie family in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The more dangerous vale-tudo-style bouts of the early UFCs were made safer with the implementation of additional rules, leading to the popular regulated form of MMA seen today. Originally promoted as a competition with the intention of finding the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations, competitors were pitted against one another with minimal rules. Later, fighters employed multiple martial arts into their style while promoters adopted additional rules aimed at increasing safety for competitors and to promote mainstream acceptance of the sport. Lead by the modern version of MMA the UFC (owned by Zuffa) is now the fastest growing spectator sport and the fastest growing combat sport in the world. With names like Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre becoming household names the sport of MMA continues to grow and receive acceptance by the general public.

  • Customer Acquisition Strategies and Tactics
    CHAPTER 5 Customer Acquisition Strategies and Tactics anaging customer acquisition consists of a variety of interrelated tasks and activities. Among the more important are pricing programs, advertising, alternative and direct marketing M systems, sales promotions, and personal selling methods. Based on the solid foundation of developing a customer-oriented company, customer acquisition creates the lifeline of sales and return visits vital to a company’s long-term success. The product life cycle model remains an important tool for understanding how to acquire customers. The introduction, growth, maturity, and decline stages of the cycle necessitate careful responses and strategies from the marketing team. Customer acquisition provides a key response to the challenges of competition, especially in the maturity stage of the product life cycle. At every point, companies face the demands of keeping current customers balanced with using tactics to find new customers. In general, three basic forms of customer acquisition are 1. developing existing or new markets, 2. developing existing or new products, and 3. branding programs. y Identifying Markets Customers are acquired through the analysis of existing markets and new markets. New customers can be located in existing markets. Some may be found through the efforts to increase brand switch- ing. Others can be identified when new needs arise as situations change, such as when television programming shifted from analog to digital signals. Further, a product may be featured as being different and better, which is the product differentiation approach to attracting new customers in existing markets. 99 100 CASES IN MARKETING MANAGEMENT Finding new markets, the second approach to identifying markets, consists of geographic expansion into domestic markets and international markets.

It focuses primarily on the political campaign to ban the sport in the 1990s and the repercussions that campaign had on MMA itself. Furthermore, it examines the censorship of music and video games in the 1990s. The central argument of this work is that the political campaign to ban Mixed Martial Arts was part of a larger political movement to censor violent entertainment.

  • 25 Pro Fighters, Managers, and Coaches Reveal Their Best Tips to Land a Sponsorship by Solmadrid Vazquez Follow Me on Twitter Here
    25 Pro Fighters, Managers, and Coaches Reveal Their Best Tips to Land a Sponsorship by Solmadrid Vazquez Follow me on Twitter here. Sponsorships can make or break you. The problem is, the process of landing a sponsorship is counter-intuitive. Being a great fighter is NOT enough. I’m sure you’ve seen fighters who land sponsors left and right. What’s their secret? How come they can get 27 sponsors in one day and you can’t even get one freakin’ rep to look at you? What THE hell is going on?! To get to this bottom of this conundrum, I contacted some of the best fighters, managers, and trainers in the game and asked them a simple question: “What is your #1 tip to land a sponsorship?” Each tip has a custom tweet link after it so feel free to share your favorite tips with your followers. Let’s Get Ready To Ruuuummmmbllllllleee!!! Frank Shamrock Frank Shamrock is a retired MMA Fighter. He was the first UFC Middleweight Champion and retired as the four-time defending undefeated champion. He was also the first WEC Light Heavyweight Champion, and the first Strikeforce Middleweight Champion. He was a brand spokesman for Strikeforce and is a Sports Commentator for Showtime. Frank can be found at his site, on Facebook, and on Twitter. My number one tip to landing a sponsorship is presenting yourself properly. Present a long-term consistent growth plan that somebody, or a sponsor, could attach themselves to, so you can show how you will grow together. “Present a long-term consistent growth plan.” Tweet this.
