TUESDAY NEWS UPDATE
More on the front page, but the Raw audience was a new non-football season record low.
As noted on the front page, Benson Henderson’s Bellator debut will be a welterweight title shot on April 22nd.
Some interesting movement on the betting lines for UFC 196 in the two title fights. Conor McGregor opened as an underdog in his Lightweight title challenge of Rafael Dos Anjos but is now a slight favorite, due to most of the money coming in on the Featherweight champion. While Miesha Tate is still an underdog against Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm, the line has moved a lot in the last week, with most of the money coming in on Tate.
Embattled Edmond Tarverdyan, he was fined $5000 and suspended for 3 months due to failing to disclose his criminal past. Edmond was popped in 2010 for felony identity theft and a resisting arrest charge, which is a misdemeanor. He ended up pleading no contest to reduced misdemeanor charges but since he didn’t disclose this information to the CSAC he can’t corner anyone for 90 days. He is having a rough year…
WWE/Pro Wrestling
Hat tip to Enuhito on Twitter for tweeting a photo from Baseball Magazine Sha of Shinsuka Nakamura at the airport leaving for Orlando. So he’ll have a good two months of Performance Center time to acclimate himself before his debut against Sami Zayn at NXT Takeover in Dallas.
Vivid Video issued a press release announcing that not only is Tammy Sytch’s adult film now available on their website, she also has an autobiography coming out this weekend.
As noted last night on Observer Radio, Marty Jannetty made an odd Facebook post last night when he misunderstood Stephanie McMahon’s promo about best friends splitting up in wrestling.
WWE’s Best of Raw & SmackDown 2015 DVD set, their only home video release for February, comes out a week from today and is available for pre-order.
UFC/MMA
TMZ Sports interviewed a fake Edmond Tarverdyan (Ronda Rousey’s coach) and hilarity ensued. Technically, the Edmond Twitter account is in violation of Twitter’s rules for not being clearly marked as a parody, but obviously nobody’s reported him, he’s not verified either, and the account being a parody is fairly obvious.
Past TUF cast member Jamie Yager (remember him?) returns to action for the first time in three years on a WSOF undercard fight on 2/20 against Greg Parker.
After the initial overnight number for Saturday’s UFC on FOX show came in at 2.43 million viewers, final numbers released today bumped that up to 2.685 million viewers, as we had speculated it would. The FS 1 prelims did 702,000 viewers. The main card number was down about 14% from last January’s FOX show. The prelims were up about 16% in total viewers as has been the case for most shows of late.
In other MMA ratings news, Bellator 148 Friday on Spike TV did a disappointing 566,000 viewers for the show headlined by Paul Daley knocking out Andy Uhrich. This show was greatly hurt by the withdrawal of former UFC star Josh Koscheck from the originally scheduled main event and the number was way down from their 2015 average.
Bellator 149 on February 19th has a late change to the main card as Mike Bronzoulis had to pull out of his fight with Melvin Guillard. Bellator veteran Derek Campos steps in to face the UFC vet who is coming off losses in 3 of his last 4 fights. In a weird bit of trivia, those three losses came in UFC, WSOF and Bellator.
