UFC Teams Up w/ 50 Cent For Musical Boost

November 14th, 2008 . by Dell

Ultimate Fighting Championship and 50 Cent have sparked up a little partnership that allows them to use 50’s music in their programming, and in return 50 gets promotion for his new (soon-to-be-failed) album. 50’s fourth major release “Before I Self Destruct” was originally slated for a December 9th release, until they realized no one cared. The album is now being released at the top of 2009.

In the first video below, you’ll see a teaser for Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture (taking place tomorrow night) featuring 50’s new single “Get Up”. Then video at the very bottom of this post shows a meeting between 50 Cent and UFC Prez Dana White.

Shout out to Woooha Inc. for the second video.

Video: Wow… Dana White Is PISSED At Gary Shaw

Here’s a quick rundown for those of you who aren’t familiar with the MMA / Kimbo Slice thing.

Kimbo Slice is new to MMA and Elite XC is a new upcoming fight organization. The powers that be know that Kimbo is their cash cow, and the life of their company is directly affected by Kimbo’s performance, it’s in their best interest that he wins. So… the promoters allegedly approached Kimbo’s opponent and offered him a bonus if he stood up and traded punches with Kimbo (as opposed to taking the fight to the mat and wrestling/grappling/trying submission moves).

The notion is that this gives Kimbo an unfair advantage because he is more likely to win fights in that fashion. The Elite XC are in danger of being brought under investigation as a result. In this video, you’ll see Dana White (the president of rival organization UFC) and he’s absolutely pissed.

This video contains very foul language (but damn if it isn’t fun to watch!)
