Numerous mixed martial arts promotions, including UFC and Elite XC, have named a heavyweight world champion within their ranks.
The World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts, or WAMMA, wants to go a step further.
The MMA sanctioning body, anchored by vice presidents Pat Miletich and
Bill Goldberg, plans to decide an undisputed heavyweight champion —
choosing from a pool of promotions.

Michigan has a funny reputation when it comes to MMA. We were the place for UFC 9 which was exactly the shining moment for the organization. The state came in, just before the show, and fighters were threatened with jail time if they threw punches. MMA pretty much fell off the map for quite a while after that. Then someone found a loop hole in the laws as they pertained to MMA in Michigan.

June, 7th. 2008 at UFC 85 in Bedlam, England Thiago Alves proved he is no joke in the welterweight division when he put the dumbfounded look on Matt Hugh's face as he decisively kneed and punched his face till 1min and 2 sec into round 2 for the win by technical knockout. Matt Hughes is known as the greatest welterweight of all time so for Thiago that must have felt great. I spoke with Thiago and was able to get his thoughts before and after the fight.

First of all, I give a ton of credit to Amir Sadollah. Going into this season of The Ultimate Fighter, he had a professional record of 0-0 in his MMA. That's right - no pro fights. Sure, he had been a kickboxer for a while and had some amateur fights. There were many people that were upset to see someone without any pro experience get invited onto the TV show.
In the end, Sadollah proved that he belonged on the show. He showed that he was very tough and very crafty in his fights. Plus, he quickly developed his ground skills which he most notably put on display in his two wins over C.B. Dalloway.
