    Hi,

    We decided to go ahead with the MMA forum. It will open on/before Oct 1 with the other improvements to SpursTalk.

    Here's what I need from you:

    1. A name for the forum.

    2. A logo and color suggestions for the forum. The logo needs to be 650 x 164. If one of you is good at PhotoShop, make a few versions and vote on it.

    3. As you all might know, I'm the sports channel editor for b5media, where I oversee 20+ sports blogger/blogs. One of the blogs is called Jab & Grapple and includes wrestling, boxing and now MMA stuff. I need guest posts for this blog - unpaid - up to three times a week. I would think between all of you, that you guys could probably manage that, right? You would get your name on the post along with a link back to your website (or to this forum).

    Thanks.

    -K

    bad.ass

    thanks

    as for 3...I used to have my own MMA blog/site( which brought me here since a story I wrote was linked here) but I got so burned out I shut it down. But if the mood every strikes me again I will submit my rant.....just don't expect AP style. hah

    To be honest I will probably never be motivated to write a story again. Sorry.

    Awesome, thanks Kori

    We'll make great use of the forum we promise. MMA talk has really grown around here in the last year and with an MMA forum now official, it will only get bigger. Everyone that talks MMA here is very knowledgeable and we have great discussions. I'd expect that to continue, only on a larger scale. This is great

    What a blast. Thank you, dear Kori! My hubby says he might take a run or two at a possible logo - he's getting pretty good at photoshop and likes playing with that sort of thing.

    Alright folks....

    I say the forum name is "Fight Club" in honor of the greatest fight movie of all time.

    Thoughts?

    I agree with Fight Club. That way it doesn't distinguish between MMA and Boxing. There are a bunch of boxing fans that post here as well.

    And you guys that pleaded for a Forum, better work your asses off to make it grow. Don't make Kori go through all that work only to see RealKingsTalk part 2.

    And what TheTruth said.

    Uh buddy...its the MMA FORUM as Boxing fans didn't care enough to ask for one. We have been begging for one for half a year...user after user.

    That won't happen. An average UFC fight thread gets more traffic then any thread in Kingstalk even during the NBA season. Almost no Kings fans post there, at all. Evan and Leonard do a bang up job updating everything in the world of MMA, DallasKd as well. I'm here quite often along with many others that are into MMA around here. This will grow and be a great addition to Spurstalk. There are a lot of big event fights coming up in the next 6 months or so alone. Should be a lot of fun.

    I love you guys...Fight club was written by Chuck Palahniuk who is also my favorite author. I care more about books than MMA so this will make me cry.

    Fight Club gets my vote too.

    Been out of touch with MMA since the last time I practiced grappling. Hopefully,this new MMA forum will help me get back on the mats and hit the bags again. And a few $ will surely help

    to all who've worked for this!

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Image- I would like to have something that is glove based but I am willing to defer 100% creative rights to desflood's husband. If she lets her husband have full control I am sure it will be done right.

    Color - MMA is Black, White and Red....right? The Octagon is black cage with a White floor (or the UFC gray that sucks) and red for blood.

    Black, white and red sounds pretty good... and a glove of some sort doesn't sound bad either. Any other suggestions, guys? I'll send him in here and have him talk with everybody and see what happens.
